  • Schopen's argument for the existence of Mahayana book shrines is based solely on a few enigmatic passages from a few Mahayana sutras that say places where people use these texts will become caityabhuta.

    “The argument that Schopen makes for the existence of Mah ay ana book shrines is based solely on a few enigmatic passages from a few Mah ay ana s utras that say that places where people use these texts in various ways, memorizing them, reciting them, copying them, etc., will become ' caityabh uta .'”

  • Schopen stated that early Mahayana, rather than being an identifiable single group, was in the beginning a loose federation of a number of distinct though related cults, each associated with its specific text.

    “early Mah ay ana (from a sociological point of view), rather than being an identifiable single group, was in the beginning a loose federation of a number of distinct though related cults, all of the same pattern, but each associated with its specific text.”

    From Early Indian Mahāyāna Buddhism I: Recent Scholarship (2010) · cites this paper as Schopen 1975

  • The self-referential discourse characterizing the subgenre to which the Sutra of Utmost Golden Radiance belongs has led scholars to posit a 'cult of the book' focused on the written sutra as a potent object.

    “The self-referential discourse that characterizes the subgenre to which the S utra of Utmost Golden Radiance ( Suvarn . a-(pra)bh asottama S utra) belongs has led scholars to posit a ' cult of the book ' focused on the written s utra as potent object.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
