Buddhists Confront the State / Charles F. Keyes -- "Foremost among Religions": Theravada Buddhism's Affairs with the Modern Sri Lankan State / Mahinda Deegalle -- Schools, Ritual Economies and the Expanding State: The Changing Roles of Lao Buddhist Monks as "Traditional Intellectuals" / Patrice Ladwig -- After Pol Pot: Cambodia and the Building of a New Stupa / John Amos Marston -- The Relic and the Rule of Righteousness: Reflections on U Nu's Dhammavijaya / Tilman Frasch -- Sacred Site or Public Space? The Shwedagon Pagoda in Colonial Rangoon / Donald Seekins -- Angry Monk Syndrome on the World Stage: Tibet, Engaged Buddhism, and the Weapons of the Weak / John Whalen-Bridge -- Rebirth Control: Contemporary Inner Mongolian Buddhism and the Religious Authority of the Chinese State / Jonathan Mair -- Do Buddhist "Nuns" Need the Thai Sangha? / Monica Lindberg Falk -- Sacred Protests and Buddhist Environmental Knowledge / Susan M. Darlington.

Buddhism, Modernity, and the State in Asia explores the relationships between Buddhism and various nations in South, Southeast, and East Asia. Rather than promulgating a "Buddhist exceptionalism" in which Buddhist actors and institutions transcend politics, Pattana Kitiarsa and John Whalen-Bridge have assembled a collection of essays that closely examine the ways in which Buddhism and Asian Modernities are constantly interacting with and conditioning each other. Instead of presenting a monolithic vision of Buddhism, this volume treats particular situations in Burma, Cambodia, China, India, Laos, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam to demonstrate the wide variety of forms and influences that Buddhism has taken in its many consequential roles in Asian political history.
