| Forest Recollections - Wandering Monks in Twentieh-century Thailand |
|---|
Summary: During the first half of this century the forests of Thailand were home to wandering ascetic monks. They were Buddhists, but their brand of Buddhism did not copy the practices described in ancient doctrinal texts. Their Buddhism found expression in living day-to-day in the forest and in contending with the mental and physical challenges of hunger, pain, fear, and desire. Combining interviews and biographies with an exhaustive knowledge of archival materials and a wide reading of ephemeral popular litterature, Kamala Tiyavanich documents the monastic lives of three generation of forest-dwelling ascetics and challenges the stereotype of state-centric Thai Buddhism.
