As to the religion of Buddha, it is simply Satanism _a outrance_.

Chinese occultism is centralised in the San-Ho-Hei, an association "parallel to high grade Masonry," having its head-quarters at Pekin, and welcoming all Freemasons who are affiliated to the Palladium.

It does not, however, admit women, and has only one degree.
Its chief occupation is to murder Catholic missionaries.

When a Palladian Mason seeks admission for the first time to one of its assemblies, he betakes himself to the nearest opium den, carrying on his person the documents which prove his initiation; he places his umbrella head downwards on his left side, and stupefies himself with the divine drug.

He is then quite sure that he will be transported in a comatose condition to the occult reunion.
