The book focuses on the Shwegyin, one of the most important but least understood monastic groups in the country. Analyzing the group as a tradition constructed around ideas of continuity and disruption/rupture, the study illuminates key aspects of monastic and wider Burmese Buddhist thought and practice, and ultimately argues for the distinctiveness of elements of that thought and practice in comparison to the Buddhist cultures of Sri Lanka and Laos.After situating the Shwegyin within the history of Buddhist monasticism more generally, and within the vicissitudes of modern Burmese political history, the book proceeds along two scholarly avenues. It adopts an interdisciplinary method with attention to biographical, administrative, doctrinal, and ethnographic evidence. Theoretically, the book engages scholarly discussion about "traditions" and their "traditionalisms" and advances a specific type of interpretive approach built on bringing the viewpoints and practices of the Shwegyin into conversation with the enterprise of understanding larger historical and cultural patterns in the Buddhist societies of South and Southeast Asia. 410 0$aReligion and society (Hague, Netherlands) ;$v50. 606 $aMonastic and religious life (Buddhism)$zBurma 606 $aReligion and sociology$zBurma 606 $aMonastic and religious life (Buddhism)$zBurma$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMonastic and religious life (Buddhism) 615 0$aReligion and sociology 615 0$aMonastic and religious life (Buddhism)$xHistory. 676 $a294.3/65709591 700 $aCarbine$b Jason A.$f1971-$0905593 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456536003321 996 $aSons of the Buddha$92485628 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02218nam 2200625 a 450 001 9910777960803321 005 20230808233945.0 010 $a1-282-72716-8 010 $a9786612727160 010 $a90-420-3061-5 010 $a1-4416-1339-0 035 $a(CKB)1000000000764721 035 $a(EBL)556943 035 $a(OCoLC)664232373 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000153861 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12046496 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000153861 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10407809 035 $a(PQKB)11712682 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC556943 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL556943 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10404073 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL272716 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000764721 100 $a20100918d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aFearful symmetries$b[electronic resource] $eessays and testimonies around excision and circumcision /$fedited by Chantal Zabus 210 $aAmsterdam $cEditions Rodopi$d2008 215 $a1 online resource (324 p.) 225 1 $aMatatu ;$vno. 37 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a90-420-2572-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $asection 1.

Based on extensive archival research, Kristina Spohr attributes this in large measure to determined diplomacy by a handful of international leaders, who engaged in tough but cooperative negotiation to reinvent the institutions of the Cold War. She offers a major reappraisal of George H. W. Bush and innovative assessments of Mikhail Gorbachev and Helmut Kohl, as well as Margaret Thatcher and François Mitterrand. But, she argues, Europe?s transformation must be understood in global context. By contrasting events in Berlin and Moscow with the brutal suppression of the pro-democracy movement in Beijing, the book reveals how Deng Xiaoping pushed through China?s very different Communist reinvention. Here is an authoritative yet highly readable exploration of the crucial hinge years of 1989?1992 and their consequences for today?s world. 606 $aWorld politics$y1989- 615 0$aWorld politics 676 $a909.828 700 $aSpohr$b Kristina$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01565365 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793902303321 996 $aPost Wall, Post Square$93834970 997 $aUNINA
