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. 606 $aBuddhist monasticism and religious orders$xEducation$zIndia 606 $aBuddhist monasticism and religious orders$xEducation$zChina$zTibet Autonomous Region 606 $aLiberalism (Religion)$zIndia 606 $aViolence$xReligious aspects$xBuddhism 606 $aDiscipline$xReligious aspects$xBuddhism 606 $aTibetans$zIndia$xReligion 615 0$aBuddhist monasticism and religious orders$xEducation 615 0$aBuddhist monasticism and religious orders$xEducation 615 0$aLiberalism (Religion) 615 0$aViolence$xReligious aspects$xBuddhism. 615 0$aDiscipline$xReligious aspects$xBuddhism. 615 0$aTibetans$xReligion. 676 $a294.3/5697 700 $aLempert$b Michael$01616994 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809751003321 996 $aDiscipline and Debate$93947999 997 $aUNINA
