"hais are not naturally or necessary buddhists. many thais i know prays to hindu gods (ie the 4 faced buddha, which is NOT a buddha @ all).
In thailand, I understand that one cannot be officially registered as a herbal doctor while still a bhikkhu/ monk.
in thailand, indonesia & malaysia, there are still some small number of people who still practise 'alternative medicine'... in today's point of view, it's considered 'black magic' or 'shamanism'." |
