| Research Abstract |
This research indicates that Shan, Theravada Buddhists in Southeast Asia, carry on the tradition of Buddhist texts (manuscripts) as the practice of both orality and literacy. By focusing the activities of lay intellectuals, it shows that certain number of immigrants from the Shan State of Myanmar to Thailand take the role of readers (reciter) of the texts in Buddhist rituals; they instruct Thai-born Shan how to recite the text as master or teacher; so it would not be possible to keep up the tradition of Buddhist texts without the immigrant intellectuals in Thailand.
