| Research Abstract |
This project conducted a series of field research in rural Cambodian temple-monasteries for exploring the actual process of rebirth and transformation of Cambodian people's religious activities in recent years. Cambodian Buddhism suffered a complete shutdown bythe totalitarian rule of Democratic Kampuchea (1975-79). The analysis of historical experience of Cambodian Buddhism since 1979 would definitely contribute toward the understanding of Theravada Buddhism and society in mainland Southeast Asia from a comprehensive perspective.
