The Liberal Subject, in Pieces --Notes --References --IndexThe Dalai Lama has represented Buddhism as a religion of non-violence, compassion, and world peace, but this does not reflect how monks learn their vocation. This book shows how monasteries use harsh methods to make monks of men, and how this tradition is changing as modernist reformers-like the Dalai Lama-adopt liberal and democratic ideals, such as natural rights and individual autonomy. In the first in-depth account of disciplinary practices at a Tibetan monastery in India, Michael Lempert looks closely at everyday education rites-from debate to reprimand and corporal punishment. His analysis explores how the idioms of violence inscribed in these socialization rites help produce educated, moral persons but in ways that trouble Tibetans who aspire to modernity. Bringing the study of language and social interaction to our understanding of Buddhism for the first time, Lempert shows and why liberal ideals are being acted out by monks in India, offering a provocative alternative view of liberalism as a globalizing discourse.Buddhist monasticism and religious ordersEducationIndiaBuddhist monasticism and religious ordersEducationChinaTibet Autonomous RegionLiberalism (Religion)IndiaViolenceReligious aspectsBuddhismDisciplineReligious aspectsBuddhismTibetansIndiaReligionBuddhist monasticism and religious ordersEducationBuddhist monasticism and religious ordersEducationLiberalism (Religion)ViolenceReligious aspectsBuddhism.DisciplineReligious aspectsBuddhism.TibetansReligion.294.3/5697Lempert Michael1616994MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809751003321Discipline and Debate3947999UNINA
