Description

Explore the complex history and evolution of Theravada Buddhism through this scholarly collection from Routledge. While modern scholarship identifies the term 'Theravada' as a nineteenth and twentieth-century construct, it remains the primary identity for over 150 million practitioners globally. This volume examines how Buddhist practices like meditation, merit making rituals, and the use of amulets are tied to specific social formations and power structures. This book provides a deep look into the authorizing discourses and hegemonic relations that shape Buddhist life. By analyzing the connection between ritual and social structure, readers gain a clearer understanding of how this tradition functions in a modern context. Each chapter is written by established scholars in the field of Buddhist studies, bringing diverse disciplinary perspectives to the research. This text is an essential resource for students, academics, and anyone interested in the social and historical development of Buddhist practice.
