Abstract | The article explores a distinction made in Cambodian Buddhism between 'bran' Buddhism (ancient or non-reformed) and 'smy' Buddhism (modern or non-reformed). This distinction had historical importance and was a major point of division in the twentieth century prior to the Pol Pot period. The article explores the degree to which this distinction has re-emerged in recent times and the different ways in which the concept 'boran' is used today, giving several examples. Sometimes it is used with reference to what I would describe as new tendencies within Cambodian Buddhism. |
