At the end of the 1970s, there were no working monasteries; within a decade, thousands had been reconstructed and repopulated. Most studies have focused on the political challenges facing Tibetan monasteries, emphasizing their relationship to the Chinese state. Yet, in their efforts to revive and develop their institutions, monks have also had to negotiate a rapidly changing society, playing a delicate balancing act fraught with moral dilemma as well as political danger. Drawing on the recent "moral turn" in anthropology, this volume, the first full-length ethnographic study of the subject, explores the social and moral dimensions of monastic revival and reform across a range of Geluk monasteries in northeast Tibet (Amdo/Qinghai Province) from the 1980s on. Author Jane Caple's analysis shows that ideas and debates about how best to maintain the mundane bases of monastic Buddhism--economy and population--are intermeshed with those concerning the proper role and conduct of monks and the ethics of monastic-lay relations. Facing a shrinking monastic population, monks are grappling with the impacts of secular education, demographic transition, rising living standards, urbanization, and marketization, all of which have driven debates within Buddhism elsewhere and fueled perceptions of monastic decline. Some Tibetans--including monks--are even questioning the "good" of the mass form of monasticism that has been a distinctive feature of Tibetan society for hundreds of years. Given monastic Buddhism's integral position in Tibetan community life and association with Tibetan identity, Caple argues that its precarity in relation to Tibetan society raises questions about its future that go well beyond the issue of religious freedom." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Dge-lugs-pa (Sect) $z Tibet Autonomous Region $z Tibet Autonomous Region $x Customs and practices. 650 0 $a Monastic and religious life (Buddhism) $z Tibet Autonomous Region. $z Tibet Autonomous Region. 650 0 $a Buddhist monasteries $z Tibet Autonomous Region. $z Tibet Autonomous Region. 650 7 $a Buddhist monasteries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01727613 650 7 $a Monastic and religious life (Buddhism) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01025111 651 7 $a China $z Tibet Autonomous Region. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01758817 830 0 $a Contemporary Buddhism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2016096784 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217022100.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=36B373540CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
