Forest
Recollections: Wandering Monks in Twentieth-Century Thailand
Kamala Tiyavanich, Kamala Tiyavanich
Our Price: $29.95
Combining interviews and biographies with an exhaustive
knowledge of archival materials and a wide reading of
ephemeral popular literature, Kamala Tiyavanich documents
the monastic lives of three generations of forest-dwelling
ascetics and challenges the stereotype of state-centric
Thai Buddhism. Although the tradition of wandering forest
ascetics has disappeared, a victim of Thailand's relentless
modernization and rampant deforestation, the lives of
the monks presented here are a testament to the rich diversity
of regional Buddhist traditions.

Thai Tellings of Phra Malai : Texts and Rituals Concerning
a Popular Buddhist Saint
Bonnie Pacala Brereton

The legend of the compassionate monk, Phra Malai, and

content of sermons and the practice of different rituals.
