General definition (in Buddhism)
Source: WikiPedia: BuddhismBuddhadasa Bhikkhu (May 27, 1906 - May 25, 1993) was one of the most influential Buddhist monks and ascetic philosophers of the 20th century. Known as an innovative interpreter of Buddhist beliefs, Buddhadasa helped reform Buddhism in his home country of Thailand. While Buddhadasa was an ordained monk in the Theravada branch of Buddhism, having submitted to Thai government regulated ordination rituals, he embraced a world view which rejected specific religious identification and considered all religions as one Dharma. He also inspired persons such as Pridi Phanomyong, leader of that countrys 1932 revolution, and the Thai social activists and artists of the 1960s.
