[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","This book studies the interaction of the Sangha (the community of monks) with politics and socio-political change in Thailand. Although the interaction of Buddhism and politics is recognized, it is seldom acknowledged and frequently denied. This paradox derives from two deeply rooted notions: first, that politics is \"the dirtiest business\" second, that only \"pure\" Buddhism and a \"sound\" Sangha can ensure the moral welfare of the nation, and their preservation in unadulterated form is critical for the survival of national unity."]
