Buddhism, Education and Politics in Burma and Thailand
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-12306-9 (ISBN)
This book provides a clear account of the ways in which royal leaders and monastic institutions worked to develop monastic education in the face of changing political and economic conditions, including colonialism and the political instability of the 19th and 20th centuries. It studies influences from both British colonists and Siamese/Thai reformers, and engages with primary material, including documents from Burmese monasteries, royal orders, royal chronicles, and official government records.
As the first book to examine monastic education in Burma and Thailand, this is a welcome contribution to the social, monastic and religious history of Southeast Asia, and the growing field of Burmese Buddhist Studies.
Venerable Khammai Dhammasami is Buddhist Chaplain of the University of Oxford, UK. He is also Research Fellow at the Oxford Centre for Buddhist Studies at the University of Oxford, UK, and Executive Secretary of the International Association of Buddhist Universities. He has recently set up the Shan State Buddhist University in Taunggyi, Myanmar.
