Abstract

In the 1990s one of the most notable religious phenomena in Thailand has been the rise of a diverse range of movements and cults at the periphery of the state-controlled sangha (the Buddhist monkhood) and a shift in the pattern of relations between Buddhism and secular political authority (see Jackson 1988a, 1989; Taylor 1993a).
