Von Koerber To Tell Fundamental Traits Of Asiatic Philosophy
Dr. Hans N. von Koerber, rofessor of Asiatic studies nd director of the Foundation of Asiatic Studies, will talk on the subject of “Lamaism” in today’s philosophy forum in Bowne hall, 4:15 p.m. Dr. von Koerber’s address will be the second in a series of 10.
Dr. von Koerber, who during the years between 1909 and 1914. made extensive travels for the purpose of research in Siberia, central Asia, west China, and Tibet, carries with him a broad and deep knowledge of the topic he is going to present today.
LONG TELLS HIGHLIGHTS
Dr. Wilbur Long of the School of Philosophy, well-known for his insight into Asiatic culture, related some highlights in the lecturer's experiences. “Dr. von Koerber once traveled about as a Buddhist priest in Tibet and spent several years in a Buddhist monastery in Outer Mongolia. Another time,” Dr. Long continued, “he entered Tibet disguised as a native merchant."
“The conglomeration of many traits of different philosophies in Lamaism has made the philosophy nnd religion of Tibet seem mysterious to the foreigner,” said Dr. von Koerber in discussing his subject for the philosophy forum. He feels that the fundamentals of Lamaism are f such hoble nature that they ;ould prove an inspiration to many rsons who do not belong to the ibet-Mongol group.
Mongolian philosophy is so fas-rating to occidental philosophers, r. von Koerber believes, because -.am a ism is a gathering of many eariiiv: thoughts taken from Budd-ism. Hinduism. Shivism, on one side and from the original religion of Tibet called Bon on the other.
