520 | |a In this paper, I examine the role of Buddhist meditation and other ascetic practices in the lives of village elders in a rural Shan community in Mae Hong Son province, Thailand.

I describe recent changes in these practices, including their differential significance for middle-aged women, and consider the implications of these changes for local understandings of the "normal" course of human development. | ||
