This distinction had historical importance and was a major point of division in the twentieth century prior to the Pol Pot period. The article explores the degree to which this distinction has re-emerged in recent times and the different ways in which the concept 'boran' is used today, giving several examples. Sometimes it is used with reference to what I would describe as new tendencies within Cambodian Buddhism.", pages = "99-121(23)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/routledg/rcbh/2008/00000009/00000001/art00005" doi = "doi:10.1080/14639940802312725" }
