The 547 Buddhist jatakas, or verse parables, recount the Buddha’s lives in previous incarna-
tions. In his penultimate and most famous incarnation, he appears as the Prince Vessantara,
perfecting the virtue of generosity by giving away possessions and even family, He gives his
children to the beggar Jujaka. Taking an anthropological approach to this two-thousand-year-
old morality tale, Katherine A. Bowie highlights significant local variations in its interpreta-
tions and public performances across three regions of Thailand over 150 years.
The Vessantara Jataka has served both monastic and royal interests, encouraging parents
to give their sons to religious orders and intimating that kings are luture Buddhas. But, as
Bowie shows, characterizations of the beggar Jujaka in various regions and eras have also
brought ribald humor and sly antiroyalist themes to the story. Historically, these subversive
performances appealed to popular audiences even as they worried the conservative Bangkok
court. The monarchy sporadically sought to suppress the comedic recitations. As Thailand has
changed from a feudal to a capitalist society, this famous story about giving away possessions
eing em
ployed to promote tourism and wealth.
