These periods involve various conditions based on the results of the analysis of a long history of Ramañña Nikāya. From analyzing the characteristics and practice of Mon Buddhism in Mon State, some characteristics and practices may differ due to the differences of the national culture of Mon in Burma. This is because the Burmese are infl uenced by the Mon culture. Mon Buddhist monks also play an important role and pay more respect to the Mon society in the Mon State. No research on Ramañña Nikāya Association in Burma has ever been done before.
