Resources for Thai Massage, Traditional Thai Medicine & Theravada Buddhism
[ NEWS ] Academic scores big cache of Thai materials for UC Riverside library, but there's no one to catalogue it!
From L.A. TIMES:
When McDaniel finished his training, the head monk gave him a stack of palm leaves with Buddhist chants etched on them, some meant to ward off forest ghosts. The leaves sit in his cramped office, still smelling of incense.
McDaniel, who speaks Thai and has a doctorate in Sanskrit, returned to the United States and became a professor at UC Riverside. In 2006, he received a grant to buy $150,000 worth of books in Southeast Asian languages.
