A most invaluable book to understanding Thai culture, this hardback edition of articles in honor of the late Dr.Puey Ungphakorn overviews his many contribution to Thai society. An academic, civil servant, minister in the Thai government, and intellectual, Dr.Puey was above all, a humanist, whose legacy is best encapsulated by the principles : santi, pracha, dhamma – peace, public participation, righteousness. Unfortunately not known enough by the outside world, Dr.Puey nevertheless touched enough lives of both Thais and foreigners to leave a lasting impact on their social consciousness. This volume is essential reading for anyone interested in the deeper aspects of Thai psyche and the Buddhist philosophy that underlies traditional Thai culture.
