Of Beggars and Buddhas: The Politics of Humor in the Vessantara Jataka in Thailand - New Perspectives in Southeast Asian Studies

The Buddhist jatakas recount the Buddha's lives in previous incarnations. In his penultimate incarnation, he appears as the Prince Vessantara, perfecting the virtue of generosity by giving away all his possessions. Taking an anthropological approach to this tale, Katherine Bowie highlights local variations in its interpretations and performances.
