Lecturing
Mr. Dharmapala was much in demand as a speaker. on October 30, 1896, he wrote this response to a request by Dr. J. D. Buck to schedule a lecture:
I have received your kind note. I am sorry I have engagements accepted all through November. Early December I may or may not remain in Chicago.
You ask me "What would your price or terms be." A follower of Buddha charges no price; he gives freely and abundantly. He lives for the world and works without expecting reward of any kind. Wherever I am asked to go I go.[1]
