Buddhadasa lived from 27 May 1906 to 25 May 1993 and was a Thai Buddhist monk known as an innovative reinterpreter of Buddhist doctrine and Thai folk beliefs who fostered a reformation in conventional religious perceptions in his home country of Thailand and abroad. He developed a personal view that those who have penetrated the essential nature of religions consider all religions to be inwardly the same, while those who have the highest understanding of dhamma feel there is no religion; he was also known for his political engagement and developed a form of Buddhist socialism he called Dhammic socialism.
