  • Menstrual blood taboo may forbid women to undertake rituals associated with deities but may not be the case with formal Buddhist observance.

    “While menstrual blood taboo may forbid women to undertake rituals associated with deities (as observed in Winslow 1980, 617), it may not be the case with formal Buddhist observance (as in Gombrich 1988, 144).”

    From Theravādizing Ghost Festival in Taiwan (2012) · cites this paper as Gombrich 1988

  • Gombrich observes that in Sri Lankan Buddhism no one is barred from visiting a Buddhist shrine or monk or from Buddhist observance on account of impurity, and whether a woman is menstruating is irrelevant to her Buddhist activities.

    From Theravādizing Ghost Festival in Taiwan (2012) · cites this paper as Gombrich 1988

  • Gombrich remarks that hallmarks of Theravāda Buddhism are the use of Pāli as its main sacred language and dependence on the Pali version of the Buddhist Canon as its sacred scripture.

    From Theravādizing Ghost Festival in Taiwan (2012) · cites this paper as Gombrich 1988

  • We see a conflict between cognitive and affective responses, between understanding that the Buddha is not present and emotion that His presence is felt as divine and He can act by means of the statue.

    “At the same time we see a conflict between cognitive and affective responses, between understanding (the Buddha is not present) and emotion (His presence is felt as divine and He can act by means of the statue)”

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.
