Více o knize

Focusing on the rise of militant Buddhism in Sri Lanka, Burma, and Thailand, the book examines the underlying reasons and mechanisms driving this phenomenon amidst the Rohingya crisis. It challenges the perception of Buddhist monks as peaceful figures by highlighting their involvement in inciting violence against perceived threats to the religion. By analyzing recent events in Myanmar, Thailand, and Sri Lanka, the author delves into the complexities of Theravada Buddhism's extremist strand and the influential role of monks in this unsettling trend.
