Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 4 8 1 0 6 - 1346 Abstract The majority of research for this thesis took place during the Thai general election of 1988 when the new religious movements Santi Asoke and Wat Dhammakaya were subject to investigation for political activity despite, respectively, defiance or denial. The relationship between the Thai Sangha and lay devotees is examined in order to discover how it is that Thai monks, whom many researchers find powerless, can be accused of political activity. In the past, monks have been used to legitimate lay political leaders and have taken active roles in local leadership. This thesis aims to determine whether monks in Thailand have power and, if they do, how such power becomes politically threatening to the status quo.

  • Care for the Environment and Environmental Crime Based on Theravada Buddhist Philosophy
    International Journal of Criminology and Sociology, 2021, 10, 1229-1244 1229 Care for the Environment and Environmental Crime Based on Theravada Buddhist Philosophy Dittita Tititampruk* and Tanet Ketsil# Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Mahidol University Abstract: From past to present, global compressions on human and environmental systems are more likely to increase than ever before in human history. With the science and technology advancement, we are living in the age of the global village that enables more convenient and brings us closer together. However, this also means that human being is suffering from global environmental crisis including the threat of war, economic crises, racial conflicts, environmental degradation, and environmental crime. This paper represents library-based work to date in Buddhist contemporary and useful perspectives and strategies on environmental protection and prevention in the backdrop of growing consumerism and capitalism influenced by western cultural in post-globalization era. Comparing to other countries, Thailand faces various environmental problems and some of them could become to environmental crime such as illegal wildlife trade; smuggling ozone-depleting substances; illicit trade in hazardous waste and pollution; illegal mining; illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing; illegal logging and associated trade in stolen timber. Since Thailand is one of largely Buddhist practical countries, measures to conserve the environment can draw on the principles and precepts of Lord Buddha’s teachings, known as Tripitaka. In Lord Buddha’s lifetime, environmental problems were not salient, but surprisingly, Lord Buddha recognised such problems because they are related to natural law. Accordingly, he established disciplinary rules for monks to live as models of not destroying the environment.

    P5 Unit 3 Buddha’s Postures and Images The origin of the Buddha images Arts and antiques related with Buddhism have been found in India From the time of King Asoka (232-304 BCE) o 3rd King of Mauryan Dynasty o Faithful to Buddhism o He provided royal support to Buddhism o He declared Buddhism the religion of his kingdom The first statues of Buddha were created after the 1st century CE o Sculptured by artisans in Gandhara(1) . Present-day Pakistan and Afghanistan o Following Greco-Buddhist style(2) o And by artisans in Mathura (N. India) o Later, by artisans in Amravati (C. India) The Seated Buddha from Gandhara is an early statue of the Buddha discovered at the site of Jamal Garhi in ancient Gandhara, in modern-day Pakistan, that probably dates to the 2nd century AD. And the first statue (probably like the one above) was also created there, in Gandhara, at the time of King Kanisha (2nd century CE). Kanishka the Great(3), was the emperor of the Kushan dynasty, ruling and empire with its capital in Puruṣapura (province of Gandhara) His conquests and patronage of Buddhism played an important role in the development of the Silk Road, and the transmission of Mahayana Buddhism from Gandhara across the Karakoram Mountain Range to China. The first statues in Gandhara were the work of Greek and Roman artisans o Remember that a few centuries before, there was the immense Greek Empire(4): Buddha image in different postures 1.

  • A Meeting of Masks a Meeting of Masks
    Living high and low in modern Bangkok VORNG SOPHORNTAVY Beneath the protest marches, rallies and sieges dividing Thailand in recent times are more subtle pressures that emerge from everyday encounters involving cultural notions of rank and hierarchy. These are the focus of this highly accessible ethnographic study, which ventures beyond the barricades to explore the connections be- tween inequality, space and social life in modern-day Bangkok. A MEETING OF MASKS A Meeting The author argues that the notion of an urban–rural divide obscures a far more complex reality linking city and countryside in reciprocal relations within both urban and national systems of sta- tus and class. Global market forces have increased the emphasis on of Masks material wealth in contemporary status relations and exacerbated pre-existing inequalities informed by a premodern system of status ranking called sakdina. This has compounded the challenges facing Status, Power and Hierarchy the growing urban middle classes and further marginalised rural and economically disadvantaged Thais. in Bangkok For Bangkok’s middle classes, pursuing aspirations and con- structing class identity involve negotiating a competitive social hierarchy based on status display and conspicuous consumption practices. Much of this is enacted in urban spaces such as shopping malls. Yet, access to opportunities and upward social mobility are often thwarted by an entrenched and unjust system of patronage and elite privilege. The resulting tensions have been exploited to tremendous effect in the ongoing political power struggle. About the author: Educated in Australia, Sophorntavy Vorng is an anthropologist and postdoctoral research fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity in Germany.

  • Gender, Development, and the Film Industry in Cold War Thailand
    COLD FIRE: GENDER, DEVELOPMENT, AND THE FILM INDUSTRY IN COLD WAR THAILAND A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Rebecca Townsend January 2017 © 2017 Rebecca Townsend COLD FIRE: GENDER, DEVELOPMENT, AND THE FILM INDUSTRY IN COLD WAR THAILAND Rebecca Townsend, Ph. D. Cornell University 2017 Cold Fire is a study of how the international film industry in Thailand became a productive site for expressions of gendered cultural nationalism from the 1950s to the 1970s. National development projects expanded both state power and commercial markets for foreign and domestic film distribution. Those changes were facilitated by the domestic rise of military authoritarianism, intensive US political and economic intervention, rapid industrialization, and the communist threat in Asia. The United States and Thai governments used film as an instrument of psychological warfare to propagate conservative representations of Thai culture and society aimed at combating Communist sympathy.
