Political Party

It is common for the members of a party to hold similar ideas about politics, and parties may promote specific political ideology, ideological or policy goals.

The Santi Asoke ( th, สันติอโศก (อะโศก) "Peaceful Ashoka") was established by a former television entertainer and songwriter Phra Bodhirak after he "declared independence from the Ecclesiastical Council in 1975". He had originally ordained within a monastery recognized by the Thai Sangha, but soon left with a small following to form this group, which he sees as a mixture of both Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism.
