THIS little work does not attempt to give an exposition of Buddhism from the standpoint of a deep student of Buddhism. It is, on the other hand, an exposition of the religion as it has affected one individual, to whom one of the greatest forces in his life has been the personality of the Lord Buddha. It is in the light of His personality that I have always re- garded each Buddhist doctrine which I have studied. The value of the essays will be solely because they reflect the experiences of a Buddhist who has tried, however humbly, to mould his life on the life of the great Lord.
The Thai people have had a written legal code for at least 500, and possibly 1000 years. This book details that traditional code and its regional variants, prior to its recasting into Western form in 1880.

Excerpt from The Reign of Law Standing should arise. I had intended to con elude with 'a chapter on Law in Christian Theology. It was natural to reserve for that chapter all direct reference to some of the most fundamental facts of Human nature. Yet without such reference the Reign of Law, especially in the Realm of Mind, cannot even be approached in some of its very highest and most important aspects. For the present, however, I have shrunk from entering upon questions so profound, of such critical im port, and so inseparably connected with religious controversy. In the absence of any attempt to deal with this great branch of the inquiry, as well as in many other ways, I am painfully conscious of the narrow range of this work. I can only offer it as a very small contribution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Weber's claim that Buddhism is an otherworldly religion is only partially true. Early sources indicate that the Buddha was sometimes diverted from supramundane interests to dwell on a variety of politically-related matters. The significance of Asoka Maurya as a paradigm for later traditions of Buddhist kingship is also well-attested. However, there has been little scholarly effort to integrate findings on the extent to which Buddhism interacted with the political order in the classical and modern states of Theravada Asia into a wider, comparative study. This volume brings together the brightest minds in the study of Buddhism in Southeast Asia. Their contributions create a more coherent account of the relations between Buddhism and political order in the late pre-modern and modern period by questioning the contested relationship between monastic and secular power. In doing so, they expand the very nature of what is known as the 'Theravada'. Buddhism, Power and Political Order offers new insights for scholars of Buddhism, and it will stimulate new debates.
This volume challenges the concept of Buddhism as an apolitical religion without implications for law.
