Description
This monograph, Theravada Buddhist Devotionalism in Ceylon, Burma, and Thailand, is a seminal contribution to Buddhist historiography. It explores the development of devotional practices within Theravada Buddhism, particularly in the regions of Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Myanmar (Burma), and Thailand. The book provides a historical and cultural analysis of how devotionalism has evolved within the Theravada tradition, despite its primary emphasis on monastic discipline and meditation.
The study sheds light on:
- The ritualistic and devotional aspects of Theravada Buddhism.
- The influence of local traditions on Buddhist worship practices.
- The interplay between monastic and lay religious activities.
By tracing these developments, the book challenges the conventional view that Theravada Buddhism is purely doctrinal and meditative, offering a nuanced perspective on its living traditions and devotional expressions.
