THE LAMAS IN LONDON.

TIBETAN MONASTERY TO LONDON STAGE.

A most interesting account of the Lamas who are assisting in the presenta tion of the film of the last Mount Everest Expedition at the Seals Theatre, W., vis Fgiven in The Times by Brigadier-General

G. Bruce, who writes-In August, 1994, a Lama of Gyantsé, a Khembo, or Abbot, by rank, of the yellow-the re formed weet of Lamuistic Buddhism—was in retirement in his cell on the billside of the wind-swept Tibetan highlands, sitting in meditation.

To him came a still greater Litara, and, knowing that he was contemplating a journey, by way of pilgrimage, to "the place, celebrated in the life history of Gaudnina Buddha, anggested to him that he should consider the invitation that had been held out to him by a member of the strange expedition which had the Banc- tion of his Holiness, the great Gewa Rim poche, the Dalai Lama-the incarnation of the god Chim-ra-s-to explore and attempt to make the ascent of Chania- lung, the greatest and highest of the abodes the gods and demons, to ex tend his pilgrimage beyond the Land of the People" of the White Plains, and to see the strangeness of the outside world. and to visit the home of Tibet's allies, the English. This Lama had been sitting in contemplation in his remote cell for more than five years.. However, the offer to extend his knowledge and experiences and his own strong desire to see what lay outside his own land pre- vailed. Be was joined by six others. frum his Own monastery and from Sikhim. These six were mainly, though not all, his disciples.

Can anyone possibly enter into the mind of this really remarkable muni Is it, indeed, possible to realise what be has been going through during the last fop: months? Picture a monastic life in s thonastery perched high up in Tibet in August-and then being wafted to Charlotte Street, W.. And the Seala Theatre! And possessing, withal a mind disposed to attribute what it does not understand to supernatural agency. And yet. notwithstanding, this Lama is A most intelligent and interesting com panion.

Their ärst step in the new education occurred when thes were driven by the necessity of cooling themselves, to bathing for the first time. Since then bathing has become a passion with them. Indeed, during the whole their trip through India the difficulty was, not to induce them to bathe, but to keep them from bathing. They passed through every stage of novel experience of travel.

Naturally they were very seasick, und Mr. Macdonald, who was in charge. of the party and shared their protracted: misery, was warned by them that the God of Travel through the power of the charm which they all wore, would send him to the nether-most cold bell. Their delight at leaving the sea, and their terror in view of the return voyage, both remain unbounded.

And now in Charlotte Street, in the quarters where their dwelling has been so arranged as to reproduce as nearly a possible their own familiar surroundings, they carry out their religious offices ac-1 cording to their Lamnistic Rubric, as in duty bound. Anyone who has even n little experience of the Tibetans, who, even if only through an interpreter, gets into touch with the Lama and his ex- tremely cheerful young followers, cannot help being struck with their inante in- telligence. And it is true that Tibetans. especially of the educated" classen, or even of the partially educated classes- such as their standard of education means are wonderfully intelligent peo

THE LONDON FOG DEMON.,"

I am afraid that the London fogs have tried them more severely, than almost any other of the strange conditions they have been through, and are clearly due to the action of demons. I think this point of view, perhaps, somewhat difter eatly expressed would be the general one: therefore, one cannot blame them

that the English are capable of anything. Let us hope, therefore, that, at any rate, the English may remain capable of sav. ing Tibet from the real political demons who threaten them from the East, and from the far more horrible Bolshevism of the North. For the home of the living Buddha-the third greatest in the Priest ly Lamaistic Hierarchy-and his domin ions are now in Bolshevist hands.

There is one exception to the Lamas, although of their party, Lhakpa Chede, the mountaineer, who carried Colonel Norton's, loads up to 27,000 ft. He is a most sophisticated youth, brought up in Darjeeling, indulgent and helpful, bat
