[Buddha-l] Bertrand Russell

[Ngawang Dorje]

Hi,
   
  This passage has been attributed to Bertrand Russell, but I have failed to locate its source. Couldn't find in any of his major works.
   
  "Buddhism is a combination of both speculative and scientific philosophy. It advocates the scientific method and pursues that to a finality that may be called Rationalistic. In it are to be found answers to such questions of interest as: 'What is mind and matter? Of them, which is of greater importance? Is the universe moving towards a goal? What is man's position? Is there living that is noble?' It takes up where science cannot lead because of the limitations of the latter's instruments. Its conquests are those of the mind."
   
  Anybody know the source?
   
  Thanks,
  Rahula
