When the Anagarika Dharmapala was visiting Boston in December, 1903, he went to William James's class at Harvard University.
I tried unobtrusively to reach the back of the lecture-hall to hear the great teacher of psychology, but it is difficult for a man in a yellow robe to be inconspicuous in America. Professor James saw me and motioned for me to come to the front of the hall. He said: "Take my chair, and I shall sit with my students. You are better equipped to lecture on psychology than I am." After I had outlined to his advanced class some elements of Buddhist doctrine, he turned to his students and said, "This is the psychology everybody will be studying twenty-five years from now."[1]
