Description

Explore the complex relationship between religious practice and social change in this scholarly work from the Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series. This book examines how becoming a Buddhist monk in Thailand has traditionally served as a pathway to quality education and social mobility for diverse groups, ranging from bright rural youths to members of the urban elite. Beyond the monastic experience, the text looks at the evolving roles within the community. It discusses how recent developments have created special statuses for devout Thai Buddhist women, offering a position akin to nuns even though they cannot become fully fledged monks. This study provides insight into a community of well-educated and motivated religious practitioners who are actively engaged in their faith and society. This title is an essential resource for those studying the social dynamics and educational structures within South Asian and Thai Buddhist traditions.
