The
Work of Kings : The New Buddhism in Sri Lanka
by H. L. Seneviratne
Book Description: The Work of Kings is a stunning new look at
the turbulent modern history and sociology of the Sri Lankan Buddhist Monkhood
and its effects upon contemporary society. Using never-before translated
Sinhalese documents and extensive interviews with monks, Sri Lankan anthropologist
H.L. Seneviratne unravels the inner workings of this New Buddhism and the
ideology on which it is based.
Beginning with Anagarika Dharmapala's "rationalization" of Buddhism
in the early twentieth century, which called for monks to take on a more
activist role in the community, Seneviratne shows how the monks have gradually
revised their role to include involvement in political and economic spheres.
The altruistic, morally pure monks of Dharamapala's dreams have become,
Seneviratne trenchantly argues, self-centered and arrogant, concealing
self-aggrandizement behind a facade of "social service."
A compelling call for reform and a forceful analysis, The Work of Kings
is essential to anthropologists, historians of religion, and those interested
in colonialism, nationalism, and postcolonial politics.
