About This Item
Chicago University Press, 1992. Paperback. Good. Buddhism has an international reputation as a nonviolent philosophy, but the history of Sri Lanka demonstrates that is not always the case. Monks and other Buddhists there often appear at the forefront of violent conflict with apparently few qualms. In this book, Tambiah traces the transformation of Buddhism in the country from followers of the dhamma into an increasingly political movement. Good Paperback. 203 pages with references and an index. Weight: 0.5 kg Post free within Malaysia The cover has a bit of wear with slightly curled corners and a sunned spine. The binding is tight, the text clear and there is no tanning of the pages.
