94:10.2 These simple-minded [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetans Tibetans] would not wholly give up their [[ancient]] [[magic]] and charms. [[Examination]] of the religious [[ceremonials]] of present-day [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_Buddhism Tibetan rituals] reveals an overgrown brotherhood of [[priests]] with shaven heads who [[practice]] an elaborate [[ritual]] embracing bells, [[chants]], incense, processionals, rosaries, images, charms, pictures, holy water, gorgeous vestments, and elaborate choirs. They have rigid [[dogmas]] and crystallized [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creed creeds], [[mystic]] [[rites]] and special fasts. Their [[hierarchy]] embraces [[monks]], nuns, abbots, and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalai_Lama Grand Lama]. They pray to [[angels]], saints, a Holy Mother, and the gods. They [[practice]] [[confessions]] and believe in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purgatory purgatory]. Their monasteries are extensive and their cathedrals [[magnificent]]. They keep up an endless repetition of [[sacred]] [[rituals]] and believe that such ceremonials bestow [[salvation]]. [[Prayers]] are fastened to a wheel, and with its turning they believe the [[petitions]] become efficacious. Among no other people of [[modern]] times can be found the [[observance]] of so much from so many religions; and it is [[inevitable]] that such a cumulative [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liturgy liturgy] would become inordinately cumbersome and intolerably burdensome.
