Buddhism and society: a great tradition and its Burmese vicissitudes
By Melford E. Spiro.
Description
It is now customary for anthropologists studying religion to pay at most lip service to formalized religious doctrine. Such works, in a functionalist tradition , tell us a great deal about the social and economic organization of religious action and about the postulated social background of religious ideas. - from Amzon
