Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Undertaking pilgrimage and visiting sacred traces associated with the Buddha’s life is an important ritual form that plays an integral role in assembling Buddhist worlds of practice through a moral geography. As spaces of living memory that embed and diffuse the spiritual biography of the Buddha, pilgrimage supports a paradigmatic model of aspiration for those who have made progress along the path to nirvana. This chapter explores some of the meanings of Buddhist pilgrimage with special attention to the sensory, performative, and affective dimensions of place. Drawing on theoretical insights in new materialism, it also examines the important ways materiality and meaning converge at the Mahabodhi Temple Complex in Bodh Gaya, showing how Buddhist rituals become entangled with heritage formations at national and global scales.

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.
