| Resumo: | After looking at the background of the Sangha reform of 1980 in Burma, the author explores this reform, the Nikayas (groupings) of Theravada Buddhism, the nine Nikayas of the Burmese Sangha, the Sangha in Burma after the reform before March 1988 and developments after 12 March 1988. The author believes that the Sangha reform of 1980 as such was, in principle, nothing new, but a revival of old traditions in a superficially modernized form. At the same time, it was designed for political ends in the context of the Burmese situation during the Ne Win era. (DÜI-Sen) |
