This ethnographic account of a thriving Northern Thai monastery examines meditation in detail, and explores the subjective signification of monastic duties and ascetic practices. Focusing on the status of mae chee - part lay, part monastic nuns - it provides a fresh insight into social relationships and gender hierarchy within the monastery.
