Jonathan Silk argued that in Indian Buddhism there is no evidence that there was any kind of Buddhist monk other than one associated with a Sectarian ordination lineage.
“there is no evidence that there was any kind of Buddhist monk other than one associated with a Sectarian [i.e., nik aya ] ordination lineage.”
From Early Indian Mahāyāna Buddhism I: Recent Scholarship (2010) · cites this paper as Silk 1994
The section titled “The Victorian Creation of Buddhism” discusses claims about the Mahāyāna’s lay orientation and interpretations of Buddhist monasticism, but does not address whether every Indian Buddhist monk belonged to a sectarian ordination lineage. Searches for “Sectarian ordination lineage,” “nikāya,” and “ordination” found no passage establishing the attributed claim; page numbers were unavailable in the indexed copy. (LLM, conf=0.74)

- Although I believe he has never published this opinion, referring to it only in personal conversations, Prof. Durt has repeatedly mentioned that Lamotte's efforts to place emphasis on the lay-orientation of the Mah~y~na were related to his position vis-~t-vis contemporary lay efforts to modernize the Roman Catholic church in Europe (we are talking here of the days before Vatican II), and free it from its priestly domination. Certainly this is an issue which deserves further study, especially given the great influence the ideas of Prof. Lamotte have had on modern Buddhist studies, an influence which is growing with the continued translation of his works into English. 21 Paul Harrison, "Buddhism: A Religion of Revelation After All?"

- The locus classicus for this notion is found in Bharati's paper "The Hindu Renaissance and its Apologetic Patterns," Journal of Asian Studies 29/2 (1970): 267--87, especially page 273.
- I thank Gregory Schopen for the reference to this published expression of Bharati's idea. 23 Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1988.
- As far as I noticed, however, the authors do not refer to Bharati or the "pizza effect" by name, although many of the phenomena they describe could be accurately classified as instances of this phenomenon. 24 See "Archaeology and Protestant Presuppositions in the Study of Indian Buddhism," History of Religions 31/1 (1991): 1--23.

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.
