Burmese Buddhist Monks, the Seventh Precept, and Cognitive Dissonance
Abstract:Burmese Theravāda Buddhist monks have varying degrees of involvement with music; this study of 22 monks from across Burma/Myanmar reveals that most of them often listen to recorded music. At the same time the monks acknowledge that Buddhism's seventh precept guides (or ought to guide) their behavior, agreeing that to be "attached" to music is to violate their monastic rule. They therefore experience cognitive dissonance, and they respond to this dissonance in predictable ways—that is, in ways documented by researchers working with Western populations. They differ, however, in their phenomenological experiences of attachment.Abstract:
