In Ghostly Japan, Names of Incense Used., part 2, sentence 80

Buddhism—which, in its own grand way, is a doctrine of evolution—rationally proclaims its heaven but a higher stage of development through pain, and teaches that even in paradise the cessation of effort produces degradation.

Who acts: Buddhism, paradise · What happens: be, proclaim, teach, produce, cease · To what, where: doctrine, heaven, pain, degradation, effort · Speech: someone speaks here
