Monks and Magic: An Analysis of Religious Ceremonies in Central Thailand (PB) | By Terwiel, B. J (Author) | White Lotus
\n
\nThe book deals with Buddhism as it was practiced in a community in rural Central Thailand. The text is based on anthropological fieldwork during the late 1960s. The scene unfolds with the religious perspective of children and young adults who appear mainly interested in esoteric spells and magical diagrams.
\n
\nFull ritual knowledge is obtained by many men in their twenties when they join the order of monks for at least one Lenten season. The latter parts of the book are devoted to the world view of older people and an analysis of some Buddhist rituals.
