Pearson Visited Mony . In 1925 this writer took the long, tough trip over the Gobi Desert to the domain of the living Budd- ha in order to ascertain what progress the Soviet Government was making in its effort to pene-| trate Mongolia as a steppingstone toward seizing all Asia. This route across the Steppes; of the Gobi was the same route followed by Genghis Khan and other conquerors when they terror- ized Asia, and it was obviously the route which Soviet conquerors would take in any new move for conquest. Had Senator McCarthy known about my trip, doubtless he would have had me investigated by the Senate for driving in a Soviet- owned car. But since the Russians controlled all automombiles, it was the only way to go My chauffeur, incidentally, was Count Sergei Witte, son of the Czarist Foreign Minister who sign- ed the treaty at Portsmouth ending the Russo-Japanese war, and he was just as unhappy about the Soviet regime as Senator McCarthy is now. Some-day, perhaps, the Sen- ator will learn that eevryone seen talking to a Russian or even work- ing with the Russians is not nec- essarily a Soviet spy—though 1t does seem that the Senator learns the hard way. When T visited Urga, the living Buddha was a much younger man, living in the western part of Mon- golia not far from the Siberian berder. He had not only great re- ligious influence, but was virtually the temporal ruler of that area so it was significant; that Owen Lat-, timore, who year ago realized the importance of this Russia borde? area, should have won the friend- ship of this key leader. Living Buddha Talks Speaking sing-song Mongolian in Baltimore, and interpreted bmm-nu’ by his two fellow refugees, the liv- Ing Buddha, now 67, dramatically waved his bony fingers to empha- size how baffled he was that Lat- timore could be fighting against Communism so vigorously, yet at the same time be accused as this country’s top Communist spy As for his own plans, the living Buddha hopes to establish a church-in-exile in the United Stat- es to save it from being stamped out altogether by the Communists. | The last ramparts of his religion ! are about to fall to the Com- munists in Tibet, he fears " | This form of Buddhism is prac- | ticed chiefly in Tibet and Mongolia. | It differs from Buddhism as prac- s““'d for his life. have purged the church ‘and sub- jugated it to the political will of Moscow, As far back as 1931, the living Buddha became the Card- inal Mindszenty of Mongolia. He was tried on trumped-up charges of treason and sentenced to five years. The sentence was suspend- ed, however, because of public re- sentment, and the living Buddha His mission now, he feels, is to 1y e hig.religion; in this coun- try that it may survive Commun- ism and not die from the earth. “I had a big temple in Mongolia,” he said sadly. “Now my Baltimore apartment is my temple.” Helping State Department | Aside from his religious preoccu- pation, the living Buddha spends his time ransacking his memory for basic data about Mongolia, which is compiled by Johns Hop- kins University under Lattimore’s direction, and is made available to the State Department—a vital re- cord about an area where the United States has no observers, As the living Buddha talked, he waved his fingers in expressive gestures that told what he was saying before it could be interpret- ed. he was wrapped in rainbow- colored gowns with a red orhimji or scarf over one shoulder. But, un- der the oriental gowns, he wore a pair of solid American shoes. Mon- golian shoes are hard to get in this country, and besides they hurt his feet. Born in the year of the monkey, 1884, the living Buddha was the son of peasants who owned only 20 sheep, four cows and two horses A layer of ice sheated the grass and strange lights appeared in the sky that year, so the baby became known as the “Lord of the Ice Plague.” About the time of his birth, the reigning Lilowa died and the “Chei- jong” or “Inspired Men” of Budd- hism, had to find a successor. For | ihree years, they deliberated over the names of 40 babies born just as the old Dilowa died. Finally there came a sign which convinced them which of the 40 was to become the living Buddha. His young eyes spot- ted the dead Dilowa's silver drink- ing bowl, and he laimed: “That is my bowl.” That is how the present living Buddha, now in Baltimore, was ordained as the new Dilowa Hulu- khtu, nd later confirmed by the or of China himself. ing back, the living Buddha d how the Communists in- filtrated into Mongolia and finally | took over the Government, One of the first things they did was order his belongings confiscated, but the Dilowa beat them to it and gave everything away to the poor. The chief confiscator, he recall- ed, was named Lobsang Jumba which means:: “pre-eminently gen= erous, “But the pre-eminent giver was a pre-eminent taker,” the living Buddha sadly explained. | He also recalled how, prior to ticed in India, Burma and China much as the orthodox Catholic Church differs from the Roman Catholic Church.
