Samenvatting
Shows how monasteries use harsh methods to make monks of men, and how this tradition is changing as modernist reformers - like the Dalai Lama - adopt liberal and democratic ideals, such as natural rights and individual autonomy. This title looks at everyday education rites - from debate to reprimand and corporal punishment.
