    An Analytical Trend in the Development of Buddhism in Mon Region of Myanmar in the next decade 1Ji na dha ja, 1Nantakorn Piyabhani, 1Phramaha Hansa Dhammahaso 1International Buddhist Studies College, Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University [email protected] Received: Feb 4, 2020; Revised: Feb 27, 2020; Accepted: May 16, 2020 ABSTRACT This article is to study the historical background of Buddhism in Mon Kingdom and to explore the development of Buddhism in Mon region and to analyze the trend in the development of Buddhism in Mon region in the next decade. Furthermore, it is also supposed to examine the history of Mon people. Buddhism in Mon could have been a major prelude to a history of Buddhism in Myanmar in modern time. The results of the study indicate that nowadays, even the Mon people lost their own country; they observe the Buddha teachings deeply in their heart until the end of the Buddha Sasana. People have often asked what has been the trend in development of Buddhism on the people of Mon region of Myanmar. To really evaluate the effect of Buddhism on the people of Mon, one would have to turn back to its historical emerge of Buddhism in Mon or in Rãmaññadesa. It also would be useful to analyze the historical background of Buddhism in Mon region of Myanmar in the next decade. Keywords: Mon, Buddhism, Rãmaññadesa, Kingdom, Suwannabhumi. 2 The Journal of The International Buddhist Studies College Introduction Buddhism has a long history in the Mon tradition and Buddhism and Mon people or the people of Rãmaññadesa are relying on each other in harmony such as water and lotus in the lake.

  • Mon Nationalist Movements: Insurgency, Ceasefires and Political Struggle
    Mon Nationalist Movements: insurgency, ceasefires and political struggle by Ashley South Paper presented at Seminar on Discovery of Ramanndesa: Mon history, identity, culture, language and performing arts [Session 2 - 'Identity and National Consciousness'] Institute of Asian Studies, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, Bangkok, 10- 13 October 2007 Published by the Mon Unity League, Bangkok, January 2008 ABSTRACT This paper briefly outlines the development of Mon ethnicity as a politically salient characteristic, during the pre-colonial and colonial periods in Burma. It goes on to describe the emergence of Mon ethno-nationalist movements (both insurgent and non-armed) in the post- independence period. The paper examines the ways in which nationalist elites have mobilized support around ideas of Mon ethnic identity, and the various political strategies adopted in relation to ‘others’ - including elaboration of a federalist platform, in alliance with other ethno-nationalist groups; cooperation with the ‘pan-Burmese’ democracy movement; and uneasy accommodations with the militarized state. The paper outlines the dynamics of armed ethnic conflict in ‘Monland’, and reviews the political and humanitarian impacts of this ‘low-intensity’ civil war, as well as positive and negative developments since the ceasefire agreed in 1995 between the military government and the New Mon State Party. It examines how Mon civil society groups in Burma have over the past decade promoted community development, and limited democratization ‘from below’, within the constraints of an oppressive and predatory state structure. The paper concludes with an assessment of the strategic options available to Mon and other ethno-nationalist communities in 2007. This includes a critical analysis of federalist politics, and the roles of armed ethnic groups.
