Jansen focuses her study on monastic guidelines, or bca' yig. The first study of its kind to examine the genre in detail, the book contains an exploration of its parallels in other Buddhist cultures, its connection to the Vinaya, and its value as socio-historical source-material. The guidelines are witness to certain socio-economic changes, while also containing rules that aim to change the monastery in order to preserve it. Jansen argues that the monastic institutions' influence on society was maintained not merely due to prevailing power-relations, but also because of certain deep-rooted Buddhist beliefs"--Provided by publisher.South Asia Across the Disciplines SeriesBuddhismSocial aspectsChinaTibet Autonomous RegionBuddhist monasticism and religious ordersChinaTibet Autonomous RegionRulesElectronic books. bca yig.buddhism.buddhist beliefs.buddhist cultural parallels.buddhist society.change the monastery.culture.deep rooted beliefs.economy.guidelines.influence on society.law.monasteries.monastic buddhism.monastic guidelines.power relations.pre 1950s.preserve the monastery.socio economic changes.socio historical source.tibet.tibetan society.vinaya.BuddhismSocial aspectsBuddhist monasticism and religious orders294.3/657Jansen Berthe1980-1024742MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910293134203321The Monastery Rules2435753UNINA
