Find out more at http://bit.ly/2MIIIFx Kunthea Chohom is a philologist working on stone inscriptions from ancient Cambodia (which covers the present-day Cambodia, some parts of Thailand, Vietnam and Laos). Her research focuses on the development of Old Khmer language which was in close contact with Sanskrit from the 6th to the 14th century CE. She studies in particular the Sanskrit elements, in form of words and concepts, which were borrowed and adapted in the Old Khmer language as evidenced in the inscriptions. The purpose of the lecture is to discuss ancient education at Angkor which was closely related to Sanskrit language and Sanskritic culture. The education occurred within intellectual and religious frameworks that offered a variety of courses such as statecraft, philosophy, literature, astronomy-astrology, medicine, architecture and archery techniques. We will firstly review the role of āśrama which is usually translated into English as ‘hermitage’, beyond its organizational structure and governance. Next, ‘textbooks’ and teaching methods will be examined with special attention to the tradition of knowledge transmission (guru-śiṣya-paraṃparā) and knowledge of family (kulavidyā). Finally, we will explore how and to what extent the Hindu model of education with Sanskrit as its pillar was localized in ancient Cambodia starting with the medium of language. Main sources used for our study are inscriptions found in temples; sculptures and bas-reliefs as well as recent archeological findings. The inscribed texts, discovered in present-day Cambodia, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam are composed in Sanskrit and Khmer between the 6th and 14th centuries. Eulogistic, religious, philosophical and juridical passages of about seventy epigraphs are referenced in the study.
