Abstract

This talk looks at Buddhism in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar from both historical and legendary viewpoints. Legends say the Buddha visited Myanmar while historical evidence is strong to show that Theravada Buddhism flourished as early as the first century AD. In recounting how long Buddhism has been in Myanmar, there can be more than one narrative, with a divergence of views mostly influenced by political doctrine of each period. While this paper will attempt to look beyond those political considerations, it will also update the audience with less known aspects of Buddhism in Myanmar.

About the #speaker

Venerable Khammai Dhammasami was born in Shan State, Union of Myanmar where he was ordained as a novice monk at 8. He has studied Pali, Abhidhamma and Theravada doctrines at some leading monasteries in Myanmar. He is also familiar with Buddhism in Thailand and Sri Lanka where he spent a few years in each of those countries. He gained three master's degrees from Sri Lanka and a doctorate at Oxford University, UK where he worked on history of monastic education in Thailand and Burma under Prof. Richard Gombrich. He has founded a few monasteries in Europe and is founder-rector of Shan State Buddhist University, Myanmar.
