Tōchatā is a kind of misfortune expelling rituals, sadokhro. Despite its fringe position in Buddhist terms, it is a popular practice in Thailand. The ritual is performed by monks in Buddhist context mainly for magical purpose as a treatment of personal adversities. The results of the analysis show that the ritual establishes its own discourses by not only utilizing some Buddhist concepts but also bending it to serve personal needs. However, as a social practice the ritual emerges as a coping strategy, and makes some social exchange happen. | en_US |
