Das Dhamma-Dana-Projekt der Buddhistischen Gesellschaft München e.V. (BGM), hat sich das Ziel gesetzt, ausgesuchte Dhamma-Literatur in deutscher Übersetzung für ernsthaft Übende zur Verfügung zu stellen. Zudem soll mit dem Material, das die BGM-Studiengruppe erarbeitet hat, das vertiefende Eindringen in die ursprüngliche Lehre Buddhas erleichtert werden.

Diese Veröffentlichungen sind nicht profitorientiert, sondern sollen sich selbst tragen. So finanziert der Gewinn eines Buches die Herstellung des nächsten. Langfristige Zielsetzung des Projektes ist es - wie in Asien üblich - Dhamma-Bücher zur freien Verteilung bereitzustellen. Das ist bereits für einige Bücher und Hefte gelungen, die deshalb leider nicht im Buchhandel erhältlich sein können.

Most of the significant topics in Indian Buddhism are discussed in some detail. Second, it is a very clearly written text.

The study aims to examine two issues: first the formation, development, and social impact of Buddhadasa's movement; and second the implications of modernization in Thai society. These two issues will be treated as closely interrelated. The main questions are the following:

(1)Why and under what conditions did Buddhadasa's movement come about?

(2)What type of movement is it?

(3)How did the movement develop and what were the factors which promoted and inhibited its development?

(4)What is its function for the members, and why does it appear to be most meaningful for the intellectuals?

(5)What is the social impact of the movement?

The particular hypothesis of this study is that Buddhadasa's movement has had and will continue to have a significant social impact on Thai society.
