“For instance, an early inscription found in Ceylon and dated between 210 and 200 BCE explains why a cave was given to the religious community: 'The cave of princess (Abi) Tissā, daughter of the great king Gāmaṇī-Uttiya, is given to the Saṅgha of the ten directions, for the benefit of (her) mother and father' (Schopen 1997: 58).”

In the citing paper
“The most surprising feature of these inscriptions is not only that their stated purpose was the worship of the donors' parents and their well-being, but also that 'this concern for the well-being of deceased and living parents was an active concern and major preoccupation of Indian Buddhist monks in particular' (Schopen 1997: 64).”

“On the other hand, thanks to the work of Gregory Schopen on epigraphic sources, we know that filial devotion was not a uniquely Chinese phenomenon.”

In the citing paper
“However, Schopen's study of ancient inscriptions has famously proven that the concept of filial piety had existed in Buddhist culture long before Buddhism gained momentum in China (1997, 56-71), and his work also refutes Xiao's claim that early Buddhism was individualistic and rejected the idea that personal salvation could be achieved through merit transmitted from another person (1995, 251-57).”
From Theravādizing Ghost Festival in Taiwan (2012) · cites this paper as Schopen 1997
In the citing paper
“It appeared around the time when scholars of Buddhism began paying more attention to material culture, following the programmatic essays of Gregory Schopen and others who called for reorienting research in Buddhist Studies away from an almost exclusive focus on textual sources (Schopen 1997, 9).”

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.
