Klemens Karlsson, PhD, Researcher in the culture, religion, and history of South- and Southeast Asia
I am Klemens Karlsson from Sweden. I am affiliated researcher at
Regional Center for Social Science and Sustainable Development (RCSD), Chiang
Mai University, Thailand. I received my PhD from Uppsala University, Sweden
in 2000 in the History of Religions. My research is focused
on culture, religion, and social sciences in South and Southeast Asia, with a special
interest in Buddhist visual culture, history, and ethnicity in the
borderlands of northern Southeast Asia, especially concerning Chiang Tung/Keng
Tung, in the Eastern Shan State of Myanmar. My research during my doctoral studies was the so-called aniconic Buddhist art in early India.
Doors To Happiness
Yesterday just a memory, tomorrow is just one step beyond
Times are running away, only passing through, to abscond
Doors to happiness No affection, nor no gratitude How to throw the blade, turn into something new
