FOLK ELEMENTS IN BURMESE BUDDHISM

By MAUNG HTIN AUNG

London Oxford University Press

PREFACE

Chapters 2 to 8 were originally given as lectures to the Burma Research Society, Rangoon, at its annual meetings from 1952 to 1957. they have, of course, been rewritten, but traces of the spoken world remain here and there, and occasionally the same facts given in an earlier chapter are repeated in a later chapter, for which defects I crave the reader`s indulgence.

I had promised my publishers, the Oxford University Press, to submit the manuscript of this book by June 1958, but other preoccupations intervened and some years passed before I could do so. I am grateful to them for their patience. In the meantime, I wrote an essay on the subject for Perspective of Burma in 1958. I am grateful to Intercultural Publications Inc..., New York, for permission to reproduce that essay as Chapter I of this book.
