Buddhism has been one of the most important historical, political and cultural forces in Southeast Asian history. This module will trace its development in the region from ancient times until the present, using religion as a lens to study both cultural and political history. We will concentrate on Theravada Buddhism (found in Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar) but will also look at Mahayana Buddhism in Vietnam as well. The module is meant to help you understand how Buddhism is practiced in these countries today as well as the historical background in each country.
