“[Schuon is in] possession of ‘the gift of tongues’, the ability, that is to say, both to speak and understand the various dialects through which the Spirit has chosen to communicate itself to men in their diversity and therefore, in practice, also the ability to communicate clearly with one’s fellows across the religious frontiers. . . . [He] exemplifies the power to penetrate all traditional forms as well as to render them mutually intelligible.”
~ Marco Pallis, author of A Buddhist Spectrum and Peaks and Lamas
