520    "Discusses the origins and cultural history of the 
       Theravada Buddhist ideals behind the Thai institution of 
       monarchy. Since the 2006 coup d'etat, Thailand has been 
       riven by two opposing political visions: one which aspires
       to a modern democracy and the rule of law, and another 
       which holds to the traditional conception of a kingdom 
       ruled by an exemplary Buddhist monarch. Thailand has one 
       of the world's largest populations of observant Buddhists 
       and one of its last politically active monarchies. This 
       book examines the Theravada Buddhist foundations of 
       Thailand's longstanding institution of monarchy. Patrick 
       Jory states that the storehouse of monarchical ideology is
       to be found in the popular literary genre known as the 
       Jatakas, tales of the Buddha's past lives. The best-known 
       of these, the Vessantara Jataka, disseminated an ideal of 
       an infinitely compassionate prince as a bodhisatta or 
       future Buddha--an ideal which remains influential in 
       Thailand today. Using primary and secondary source 
       materials largely unknown in Western scholarship, Jory 
       traces the history of the Vessantara Jataka and its 
       political-cultural importance from the ancient to the 
       modern period. Although pressures from European colonial 
       powers and Buddhist reformers led eventually to a revised 
       political conception of the monarchy, the older Buddhist 
       ideal of kingship has yet endured. Patrick Jory is Senior 
       Lecturer in Southeast Asian History at the University of 
       Queensland and the editor of Ghosts of the Past in 
       Southern Thailand: Essays on the History and 
       Historiography of Patani"--Provided by publisher.
