- Okakura Kakuzō 岡倉 覚三 (1862 – 1913) Japanese scholar: “Northern India
and Kashmir, where immediate disciples preached the faith,
formed the busiest seat of Buddhist activity.
It was Kashmir, in the first century after Christ,
that Kanishka-that king of Gettaes
who extended his power from central Asia to the Punjaub,
and left his footprints at Mathura, near Agra-called a
great Buddhist council, whose influence spread Buddhism farther into
central Asia.
But all this was only enforcing the work begun by Asoka,
the great descendent of Chandra Gupta (fourth century B.C.).”
| “Nagarjuna (150–250 CE) was an Indian monk,
whose name is well known
in China and Japan.
In the second century
of the Christian era,
he followed in the wake
of previous teachers,
known as Asvaghosha and Vasumitra,
the latter of whom had acted as
president of Kanishka’s council.” |Source: (1903) The Ideals of the East, With Special Reference

- Okakura Kakuzō 岡倉 覚三 (1862 – 1913) Japanese scholar: “ “The historical records which we can
authenticate begin about the year 59 A.D. when an ambassador of the Gettaes,
then probably under Kanishka, gave to the
Chinese scholar Saian, certain translations
of a Buddhist scripture. In 64 A.D.
Meitei, a Hâng Emperor, dreamt of a huge
golden god, and on waking asked his
courtiers for the meaning of his dream.
It was this Saian, now a scholar of great
repute, who proved able to explain about
the Buddhism of the West, and he was sent
next year, with eighteen followers,
to the Gettaes, returning in 67 A.D.,
with Buddhist images and two monks,
Matanga and Horan, claiming to be from Central India.” | Source: (1903) The Ideals of the East, With Special Reference

LEGENDARY VEDIC ASTRONOMER ARYABHATTA ~ Okakura Kakuzō 岡倉 覚三 (1862 – 1913) Japanese scholar wrote:
"Such a faith in its early energy and enthusiasm was the natural incentive to that great scientific age which was
to produce astronomers like Aryabhatta, discovering the revolution of the earth on its own axis, and his not less illustrious successor Varamihira; who brought Hindu medicine to its height,
perhaps under Susruta; and which finally gave to Arabia the knowledge with which she was later to fructify Europe." | Source: (1903) The Ideals of the East, With Special Reference
