Description
B.J. Terwiel's Monks and Magic is an in-depth study of Buddhism as it was practiced in rural Thailand during a specific period. This 1975 publication remains widely cited, offering insight into the esoteric practices of children and adolescents, which were distinct from the full ritual knowledge acquired by adults. The book has been revised and updated with new material on magic and Buddhism in Southeast Asia by Professor Terwiel, a leading expert on Thai social and cultural history. This edition builds upon the original work, providing a comprehensive understanding of the subject. Published in 2012, this fourth edition is now augmented with fresh perspectives, offering readers a nuanced exploration of the intersection between magic and Buddhism in rural Thailand.
