Remembering Monastic Revival: Stories from Reb kong and Western Ba yan
Abstract
This chapter aims to move the discussion beyond this framework by exploring emic perspectives, building on the work of Diemberger and Makley, both of whom employ oral histories as a methodological tool. It examines oral and written narratives of the early reform years in Reb kong and Western Ba yan in eastern Amdo, produced by monks who were involved in the process of monastic revival. The chapter explores both the descriptive and relational dimensions of monks' narratives. It also examines more broadly the 'revival' of monasticism in the early 1980s, exploring themes emerging from written and oral recollections of monks and the 'significant events' as narrated by them. It explains the ways in which nostalgic rememberings can work as a productive aspect of present practice, both affirming the legitimacy of the revival, but also creating ethical space for change.

These are also narratives of separation and distancing as monastic space was gradually reclaimed, physically rebuilt, and reconsecrated, as men who had maintained their vows put on the red robes, and as people reoriented their minds and bodies through prostration, circumambulation, and the outpouring of gifts of food, money, and jewelry to their lamas.

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.
