Educating Monks examines the education and training of novices and young Buddhist monks of a Tai minority group on China’s Southwest border. The Buddhists of this region, the Dai-lue, are Chinese citizens but practice Theravada Buddhism and have long-standing ties to the Theravāda communities of Southeast Asia. The book shows how Dai-lue Buddhists train their young men in village temples, monastic junior high schools and in transnational monastic educational institutions, as well as the political context of redeveloping Buddhism during the Reform era in China. While the book focuses on the educational settings in which these young boys are trained, it also argues that in order to understand how a monk is made, it is necessary to examine local agenda, national politics and transnational Buddhist networks.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic brings a big shock to Malang city. Meanwhile, the city is also stressed out due to population development and the high flow of urbanization, especially because of students who continue to live in Malang City and in the suburban areas. Urbanization is the result of planning to develop Malang City as an educational city with various educational institutions. This research aims to formulate the sustainability indicator of Malang City regarding resilient city amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample used to measure the sustainability indicator is Lowokwaru District. Regarding the development planning of Malang City as an education city, Lowokwaru District is a very suitable sample because 1/3 of the universities in Malang City are concentrated in Lowokwaru District. Besides, there are also other educational facilities such as 12 elementary schools, 11 junior high schools, nine senior high schools, and eight vocational high schools. Therefore, Lowokwaru District is measured by the sustainability indicator, namely density, diversity, and compactness to formulate a resilient city amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of calculations and interpretations from similar studies show that the sustainability of Malang City is at a moderate level of sustainability in terms of resilient city amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with a moderate population density (101.1-200 people/ha); medium building density (20-40 buildings/ha); the level of random diversity (the closest neighbour value is 1.1 and the entropy index is 0.51), where the distribution of facilities and infrastructure is not evenly distributed throughout the districts; and compactness is almost uneven.

In educational institutions, one of the resources that need to be managed properly is school financial resources. However, there are still many schools that have not managed their financial resources optimally, one of which is in the student financial administration process which is still done manually, namely by recording with books or recording with spreadsheet software. This has the risk of data being damaged, data lost, difficult to evaluate and monitoring, and less effective in student financial administration services. The same is the case with PESAT Bogor school, where schools still use spreadsheet software in financial administration. So in this study, the implementation of an integrated financial administration system at SMP, SMA, and SMK PESAT is integrated (Si-AKSES) in order to create optimal school governance, especially in the financial administration process. The software development uses the waterfall method which is implemented with the MySQL database, the PHP programming language and the CodeIgniter framework. With the existence of Si-AKSES, it can facilitate PESAT schools in providing services to students who want to make school financial payments, recording student transactions from the start of entry to graduation, controlling student arrears, reporting processes, and so that school finances are more controllable and transparent.
