Navigating Possibilities: The Evolving Roles of Buddhist Nuns (Mae Chee) in Contemporary Thailand

Metteyya Beliatte , Yaoping Liu, Chatchai Rakthin — Mon, 21 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The changing roles of Buddhist nuns (Mae Chee) in Thailand reflect a significant shift in gender dynamics, religious authority, and societal engagement within the Theravāda Buddhist tradition. Despite increased participation in education, social services, and digital Dharma dissemination, Mae Chee continue to face institutional marginalization, economic instability, and cultural bias. This study investigates how contemporary Mae Chee navigate these challenges amid broader transformations influenced by modernization and global gender equality discourses. Using a qualitative approach, the research draws on semi-structured interviews with 45 nuns across diverse settings, including temples, independent nunneries, and those with advanced education, as well as non-participant observation. Thematic analysis revealed nuanced strategies by which Mae Chee assert agency, seek recognition, and contribute to their communities, despite limited institutional support. Findings indicate that although Mae Chee have made significant strides, particularly in education and community service, their formal recognition remains inadequate. All groups of nuns interviewed acknowledged a limited social role, with only a few exceptions involved in impactful initiatives like orphan care. The study highlights three urgent reforms: formal recognition of Mae Chee’s religious status, sustainable financial support, and intergenerational dialogue to bridge tradition and innovation.

This study explored the quality of life (QoL) and predictive factors in patients three months after stroke by utilizing the Short Form Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QoL-12) to assess quality of life. Data analysis was performed using Fisher’s Exact Test to identify associated factors for poor QoL and Forward Conditional Binary Logistic Regression for predicting factors for poor QoL.

The majority of participants (94.1%) had a good QoL. However, factors predicting moderate to poor QoL included taking more than 10 medications per day (OR = 53.949; 95% CI = 1.125 – 2587.096) and having experienced more than one stroke episode (OR = 34.930; 95% CI = 2.938 - 415.241).

This study indicates that recurrent strokes and the necessity of taking multiple medications are significant factors associated with poor QoL. Early identification and care for at-risk individuals could help improve their QoL and enhance the effectiveness of physical rehabilitation.

Do Future Generations Have Rights to Natural Resources Utilized by Us in the Present?

Sun, 20 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Recently, in environmental ethics, there has been the important debate concerning with the utilization of natural resources where the growing serious concern over them utilized by contemporary people was also expressed as it is more likely brought about the rapid destruction than the preservation. If the growing trend, once compared with the previous years, is gradually increased to the higher level as such, then we can have the reason to conclude that in the next few years most of the world will unavoidably face with the severe degradation of natural resources. At that point, the future people as the members of human race will encounter with the deteriorating problem of natural resources too. In this regard, a question is asked that: Do the future people have the rights to the natural resources we are utilizing now? If they do, then it means that we have to be careful while using them so that it will not affect or violates the rights of future people. In answering this question, on the one hand, some ethicists argue that they do not have rights to the natural resources we are using now because they do not arrive at here yet and since they are not here, then there are no any actions and thereby claiming the rights over the natural resources is not valid accordingly, on the other hand, some argue that they do have the rights over the natural resources due to some actions initiated despite of the absence of the future people. In this paper, I argue that the future people do have the rights over the natural resources we are utilizing now because some human natures can perform an act in the future even though the future itself does not arrive here yet. In discussing this, I will utilize the Buddhist ethical perspectives.
