Based on the author's research in Myanmar, this impressive study presents an in-depth description of the beliefs, people, practices, and culture of the Shwegyin Buddhists there. The volume contains case studies of the lives of individual monks, discussion of religious tracts and sermons, thorough descriptions of the Shwegyin monastic institution and its hierarchy, and overall analysis of the relationship between Shwegyin Buddhism and historical Buddhism, on the one hand, and with contemporary society in Myanmar, on the other. The result is a particularly rich excursus on a religion and its surrounding society. Original sources are included in the text in side-by-side translation into English.
