| Zusammenfassung: | The speed and extent of the Tibetan Buddhist monastic revival make it one of the most extraordinary stories of religious resurgence in post-Mao China. 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 |

Caple; Mark Michael Rowe Honolulu University of Hawaii Press [2019] © 2019 1 online resource 9 b&w illustrations txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Contemporary Buddhism Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 23. Mai 2019) The speed and extent of the Tibetan Buddhist monastic revival make it one of the most extraordinary stories of religious resurgence in post-Mao China. 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 In English Geschichte 1980- gnd rswk-swf RELIGION / Buddhism / Tibetan bisacsh Buddhist monasteries China Tibet Autonomous Region Dge-lugs-pa (Sect) China Tibet Autonomous Region Customs and practices Monastic and religious life (Buddhism) China Tibet Autonomous Region Ordensleben (DE-588)4043735-8 gnd rswk-swf Kloster (DE-588)4031225-2 gnd rswk-swf Gelugpa (DE-588)4156407-8 gnd rswk-swf Moral (DE-588)4040222-8 gnd rswk-swf Wiedergründung (DE-588)4509927-3 gnd rswk-swf Amdo (DE-588)4079747-8 gnd rswk-swf Amdo (DE-588)4079747-8 g Gelugpa (DE-588)4156407-8 s Kloster (DE-588)4031225-2 s Wiedergründung (DE-588)4509927-3 s Ordensleben (DE-588)4043735-8 s Moral (DE-588)4040222-8 s Geschichte 1980- z DE-604 Rowe, Mark Michael edt https://www.degruyter.com/doi/book/10.21313/9780824878054 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
