Sinossi

Powerful Learning is the first intellectual history of one of the great Buddhist empires of Southeast Asia, Konbaung Burma before the British conquest. The book challenges the notion of the court and the monastic order as static institutions by examining how competition within and between them prompted major rethinking about the intellectual foundations of indigenous society and culture.
