Abstract
:
This talk will discuss the concept and contemporary influence of Engaged Buddhism, which emerged and spread during the modern period amidst war and violence in mainland Southeast Asia. The presentation will explore the practices and efforts of those adhering to this mode of Buddhism by offering some cases from Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and particularly Cambodia. The talk will consider the history of Khmer monastic movements in the light of Socially Engaged Buddhism as well as the challenges this Buddhist movement poses to established doctrines and orders.
Napakadol Kittisenee
is a Thai anthropologist who has been engaged in studying Cambodia for almost a decade. His training in Buddhist Studies from Silpakorn University provides him with a background in literary sources in Thai, Pali and Sanskrit. His MA research focused on the topic of Dhammayietra (peace march), the living legacy of Venerable Maha Ghosananda who contributed considerably to the development and articulation of Socially Engaged Buddhism in Cambodia and beyond. He subsequently continued his work in Cambodia with Spirit in Education Movement (SEM) after graduating from Thammasat University in Bangkok. Currently, Mr. Kittisenee is an independent researcher working on the revival of meditative practices in Cambodia.
