Lao Monks Reformed By Thai Central Region, About A Hundred Year Ago


Pa-Auk (Burma) equal to Mun Bhuritutta (Thailand). They are tipitaka memorizers.
But nowadays, thai monks are not tipitaka memorizers, and lao monks are the copy of thai monks.

About a hundred year ago, in colonization war, thailand began to lost our tipitaka memorizing system. We need to get western's learning culture to protect our land from colonial possession. The central region of Siam reform memorizing learning system to academic learning system. Mun's students (Phun acaro, etc) were the last tipitaka memorizers of thailand.

Mun was the north-eastern region of thailand, that got reform order from the central region. And Lao was the north-eastern colony of thailand at that time. So Lao tipitaka memorizing learning system had began to lost since that time, too.

Nowadays, Lao monks equal to thai mahanikaya tradition. They are not forest tradition.
