- [Popular Buddhism in Siam Other Essays on Thai studies](https://www.inebnetwork.org/books/popular-buddhism-in-siam-other-essays-on-thai-studies/): In 1986 The Social Science Association of Thailand published Essays on Thai Folklore by Phya Anuman Rajadhon to mark the author s eightiethb birthday anniversary\. On that occasion the National Library also honoured him by opening a Phya Anuman Rajadhon Libbrary within its premises\. Unfortunately the book was not well edited and contained a large number of printing errors\. Yet the book was praised as Phya Anuman was the authority on several aspects of Thai Studies\. In the 1970s , Duang Kamol Press contacted me as representative of the Sathirakoses\-Nagapradipa Foundation, which holds copyrights of all writing of the late Phya Anuman and asked to have the book reprinted\. I granted permission on condition that the publishers must correct all printing errors before going to the press\. They did try but the new edition was almost as imperfect as the first edition\.
The Sathirakoses\-Nagapradipa Foundation still have in their possession other English writings by Phya Anuman, which should be put in a book from to complement Essay on Thai Folklore\. Hence this volume: Popular Buddhism in siam and other Essays on Thai Studies, which was written by the author\. They appeared in many journal and booklets, which we collected together as we feel they would serve some useful purpose for those who wish to understand aspects of various Thai culture\. Although they were written one, two or even more than three decades ago, they could still be helpful to those who wish to dip into Thai Studies\.
In order to have the new book published oroperly, we decided to produce it ourselves i\.e\. the Sathirakoses\-Nagapradipa Foundationin collaboration with the Thai Inter\-Religious Commission for Development which are joint publishers for the publication\. Since I am in command of both organizations,there will not be any excuse for serious imperfections in this new edition\.
I would like to thank Committee members as well as some members of staff of the two organizations and also those who work for the Asian Cultural Forum On Development, who helped us with collecting the articles, editing them and reading the proofs\. I would also like to thank those foreign scholars and editors of various journals who allowed us to have those articles reprinted here in a bookform\.
I must mention the following names who helped us more than usual: Anant Viriyapinit, NandaChareonpan, Therry Silver, Max Ediger, Uthai Dulyakasem, Sa\-nga Luechapattana\-porn, Wilaiwan Ruengtorsakdi, Dew Tint Tint Than and Ampiwal Chuayunyongkul, without whose painstaking efforts,this book would never be published\.
In order for foreigners to know more about the author, I add in the appendix my lecture on Phya Anuman, as a personal tribute to my late mentor and teacher
I trust this volume will be usrful to the readers, no less than his Essays on Thai Folklore\.

- [Hidden away in the folds of time : the unwritten dimension of Sulak Sivaraksa](https://www.inebnetwork.org/books/hidden-away-in-the-folds-of-time-the-unwritten-dimension-of-sulak-sivaraksa/): Suksit Siam, founded by Ajahn Sulak 50 years ago published the Thai version of this book Hidden away in the folds time: The unwritten dimension of Sulak Sivaraksa to mark his 84\th\ birthday on 27 March 2017\. The book is a series of interviews with Ajahn Sulak by Pracha Hutanuwatr, a student and colleague of Ajahn for decades\. The book has now been translated into English by Zia Collins Free and edited by Jane Rasbash\. Pracha is now running Awakening Leadership Training course in affiliation with INEB\.
We have also added some recent lectures of Ajahn Sulak at Thammasat University translated from Thai,and his lecture at Ahmedabad,India and Vienna Jordan Baskerville translated Ajahn Sulak’s article ”Thai Buddhism in Transition”to include in this volume,also\.
I hope that this volume will help the the reader to understand Ajahn Sulak and his thinking\. INEB had hoped to publish a biography of Ajahn Sulak written by Matteo Pistono on his 84\th\ birthday,27 March 2017\.But at that time the Thai criminal law; especially article 112; could result in arrest for lese\-majeste, so it was put on hold\. The biography will now be published abroad\. This volume could be a companion one to his biography and Matteo himself very kindly wrote the foreword to this volume\.
I would like to thank everyone involved with producing this testimony to our Ajahn especially, Jessica Armour for kindly read the last proofs\.
