Description

Explore the profound connection between life, death, and spiritual practice in this scholarly study. Buddhist Rituals of Death and Rebirth offers a thorough analysis of the customs and rituals surrounding death within the Theravada tradition of Sri Lanka. Rita Langer examines how these practices function in contemporary society while tracing their connection to ancient origins. This book provides a unique look at the relationship between monks and lay people. Because death rituals are the only life cycle rituals where Theravada Buddhist monks are actively involved, this text provides important insights into the social dynamics of the religious community. By drawing on early Vedic sutras and Pali texts, the author connects modern practices to historical foundations. Whether you are a student of religion, a scholar of Buddhism, or interested in South Asian social customs, this Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism volume provides the academic depth needed to understand the complex role of death in the Buddhist tradition.
