    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.
