Description

Ten contributions from American and British scholars consider how Buddhist discourses and practices have shaped Theravada communities in South and Southeast Asia. Topics include, for example, the roots of the concept of collective karma, the interdependence between monastic beggars and lay donors, and the emergence of new poetic forms of sermonizing in the late twentieth century.
