Summary/Abstract

This paper presents an ethnographic account of Buddhist 'nuns' involved in the teaching of Pali language and Abhidhamma in contemporary Thailand. It also reflects on both the emic-Buddhist (Pali and modern vernacular) and etic-interpretative (English-language) vocabularies which have been used to describe these women and their social role(s) and status(es). The aims of the paper are to go beyond the Weberian vocabulary usually used to describe what we will call 'professionally celibate Buddhist women', to escape from the ubiquitous emphasis on the issue of re-establising the Nuns' Order (bhikkhuni--s) in the modern world in scholarship dealing with such women, and to encourage further ethnography and further civilizational interpretation of gender and asceticism.
