I bought this book as part of my research for an essay in Understanding Asia. I've been Theravadin Buddhist for the last 23 years and thought I knew Theravada and its' history pretty well. Well now I understand it even better due to this well written and researched book. The mistakes made are small one....in the photo with the forest restoration project...they are novices in the photo, not monks. Novices are allowed to dig the earth...which is what the novice in the photo is doing....monks are not. But like I said, the mistakes are small ones.
Well worth the purchase price.

商品の説明
レビュー
"This book surveys many themes. Although rooted in cultural and religious matters, it is also a good historical review of the Theravada tradition. Buddhism in Southeast Asia is spiritually and culturally very dynamic, but it also has a political importance that makes it a timely theme for those interested in this part of the world--those not necessarily informed about the history and power of religion in Southeast Asia.
"There are many books by notable authorities on the Buddhist world of Southeast Asia. However, these are almost always focused on just one country or culture, while the Swearer book embraces the whole region. I know of no other text in the English language that sets down such a good descriptive analysis of contemporary Theravada practices." -- Bruce Matthews, Acadia University, Nova Scotia

A good introduction
2013年10月17日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I study Buddhism. It is the teacher in me that I want to know as much as I possibly can about a subject that interests me. Currently, my interests are Theraveda and Thai Forest Buddhism. Swearer has written a nice sociological introduction to the Buddhism of Southeast Asia...the differences between the various countries. Essentially three chapters, I wish there was more depth. However, he points the way to other readings.
