Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The modern Buddhist revival in Sri Lanka came to fruition in the period leading up to independence from Britain in 1948. By this time, a broad division had taken shape within Sri Lankan Buddhism between "modernists" and "traditionalists" (Gombrich 1991). These alternatives can be represented by Walpola Rahula's The Heritage of the Bhikkhu and Gamini Salgado's The True Paradise. Both offer an integral vision of Buddhism in the period preceding Independence, but neither deals adequately with the cultural and political complexities of Sri Lanka at that time. Yet these books—like the traditions from which they emerge—also complement one another in ways that intimate a more adequate view of the issues than is imagined by either independently. In such a view, Buddhism might especially discover itself a reconciler of the claims of cultural diversity and the search for a common politics.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
