| 요약 | What kind of relationship should the state have with the sangha, or Buddhist monastic order, and who has the authority to decide? This dissertation examines these questions through the case of the monastic reform in Thailand after the 2014 coup. Based on field research carried out between 2014 and 2018, the study employs methods of participant-observation, interviewing, documentary research and internet-based data collection to explore how the state, sangha and lay reformists competed to control the meaning of what the monastic order could or could not do. In the first part, the dissertation traces the development of contemporary lay Buddhist intellectuals from their role as passive adherents to passionate activists, prior to their assumption of positions within the military government when they were able to a monastic reform agenda in motion. I argue that underlying the impetus to discipline the sangha emerged both from a desire to realize the positive potentialities that Buddhism could offer as a source of social change and from the state's emerging recognition of the sangha's political salience. The second part attends to the growth of the sangha as a powerful economic and political institution following geopolitical and national security shifts of the 1970s. As a semi-autonomous field, the sangha was governed not only by the sangha law instituted by the Thai state, but also the vinaya, or the framework of monastic disciplinary code, which allowed the sangha to maintain its relative autonomy. The affinity between the sangha and increasingly active civilian political groups in the last few decades turned the sangha into a liability in the eyes of the state, who employed a set of increasingly coercive measures to contain the monastic establishment. The dissertation concludes that as the political establishment seeks to consolidate its power, increasing efforts at monastic regulation will be inevitable, even if a complete control of the sangha remains an elusive goal. |
