| Quotation | Getting back to my own active life: one thing I can do for your ecumenical section is at least to review more books. It would be important to review the Histoire de la Philosophie Islamique by Nasr and Corbin (Gallimard, 1964). I have another book of Nasr I can review. If you would have someone keep a lookout for Buddhist, Islamic and other books in French and get them for me I'll do a bulletin. As to monasteries"”I am not in contact with any. But what I could do is this: possibly I may be sent to the AIM meeting in Bangkok. Dom Leclercq is most anxious for me to go. If you write to Dom Flavian and urge him to send me, and also suggest that I visit some monasteries of Buddhists, etc., to write a chronique for Collectanea, that might provide something interesting. However, all this is very uncertain "¦ |
