| Research Abstract |
In 1991, the military government established the Department of the Promotion and Propagation of Sasana and tried to promote the Buddhism in the mountainous area. The Sangha Organization also decided to dispatch student monks at State Pariyatti Sasana Universities to the missionary monasteries as part of Buddhism education. One of the most successful projects seems to be voluntary schools (Ba-ka-kyaung), based on the monasteries. My research has explored how the Buddhist missionary works have been involved in both arenas of the national politics and of the local communities and also to consider how the monks and the lay people evaluate their own practice, the concept of religion or their own faith reflexively.
