Abstract

As the process of modernization on the part of Thailand continued, changes, division and even conflict took place in different religious movements. Whether in time span or social influence, these three religious movements as Suan Mokh, Dhammakaya and Santi Asoke were significant reflected the transformational trends of relationship between modern society and Buddhism in Thailand. This paper argues that these three movements have brought different but also important impact on Thai Buddhism respectively.
