Although the dominant focus of Buddhist studies for the past century has been on doctrinal and philosophical issues, this volume concentrates on discourses that produced them, and why and how these discourses and practices shaped Therav?da communities in South and Southeast Asia. From a variety of perspectives, including historical, literary, doctrinal and philosophical, and social and anthropological, the contributors explore the issues that have proven important and definitive for identifying what it has meant, individually and socially, to be Buddhist in this particular region. The book focuses on textual discourse, how communities are formed and maintained within pluralistic contexts, and the formation of community both within and between the monastic and lay settings. 410 0$aSUNY Series in Buddhist Studies 606 $aBuddhism$xSocial aspects$zSoutheast Asia 606 $aBuddhism$xSocial aspects$zSouth Asia 606 $aMonastic and religious life (Buddhism) 606 $aTheravada Buddhism$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aBuddhism$xSocial aspects 615 0$aBuddhism$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMonastic and religious life (Buddhism) 615 0$aTheravada Buddhism$xHistory 676 $a294.3/91/095 701 $aHolt$b John$f1948-$0636742 701 $aKinnard$b Jacob N$01179940 701 $aWalters$b Jonathan S$0712798 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819510803321 996 $aConstituting communities$94016907 997 $aUNINA
