BUDDHIST MONK.

English soil was trodden yesterday for the first time by a Buddhist monk in full order of the sangha. The Bhikkhu Ananda Metteyya formerly Mr. Allan Bennett MacGregor, landed at ___ o’clock at Albert Dock, London, from the steamship Ava and was immediately driven in a motor-car (horses being forbidden by the Buddhist code) to the house in Barnes where he hopes to lead for some years to come a life of contemplation and missionary effort.
