  Early sources indicate that the Buddha was sometimes diverted from supramundane interests to dwell on a variety of politically-related matters. This title brings together contributions of various minds in the study of Buddhism in Southeast Asia expanding the nature of what is known as the 'Theravada'. It offers insights for scholars of Buddhism.
