This revitalization movement has had real consequences for how the oppressive military junta, in power since the early 1960's, governs the country. Drawing on more than ten years of extensive fieldwork in Burma, Ingrid Jordt explains how vipassanā meditation has brought about a change of worldview for millions of individuals, enabling them to think and act independently of the totalitarian regime.Research in international studies.Southeast Asia series ;no. 115.Buddhism and politicsBurmaBuddhismSocial aspectsBurmaBuddhist laymenBurmaHuman rights movementsBurmaBuddhism and politicsBuddhismSocial aspectsBuddhist laymenHuman rights movements294.309591Jordt Ingrid1189670MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808212903321Burma's mass lay meditation movement3971095UNINA
