The Buddhist Saints of the Forest and the Cult of Amulets - Cambridge Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology
Stanley Jeyaraja Tambiah
The central actors in this book are some reclusive forest-dwelling ascetic meditation masters who have been acclaimed as 'saints' in contemporary Thailand. These saints originally pursued their salvation quest among the isolated villages of the country's periphery, but once recognized as holy men endowed with charisma, they became the radiating centres of a country-wide cult of amulets.
