Finite time[edit]

Does this quote from Buddhism in Chinese History belong in the article?

"The Chinese characters are monosyllabic in sound and unificational in form. On the contrary, Sanskrit is alphabetic, polysyllabic and highly infective. Arthur F. Wright says, "the Chinese had shown little disposition to analyse the personality in its components, while India had a highly developed science of psychological analysis. In concept of time and space, there were also striking differences. The Chinese tended to think of both as finite and to reckon time in life span, generation to political eras. The Indians, on the other hand, conceived of time and space as infinite and tended to think of cosmic aeons rather than of limits of terrestrial life." -- Lahiri, Latika. "Interpretation of Buddhist Terminology at the Background of Chinese Traditional Thoughts" citing Arthur F. Wright, Buddhism in Chinese History, pp. 33-34.

When the article is more fully developed, perhaps this small point will become a useful as an illustrative example? --Tenmei (talk) 17:18, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
