| Abstract | The development of the role of the sangha in Burma as a centralized institution, within the larger context of the relationship between the sangha and the state since Burma's independence is traced with emphasis on the period after the 1962 coup d'état. The formation of a unified sangha organization in 1980 which cut across sectarian and regional boundaries marked a turning point in the institutionalization of the sangha. The convening of the First Congregation of the Sangha of All Orders and subsequent election of the central and regional sangha bodies created a hierarchical structure which was intended to guide and supervise the nation's monks and novices. Backed by the power and authority of the state, the process of "purifying, perpetuating, and propagating" the sasana seems to be continuing with considerable momentum. |
