| 1962 – Hanks demonstrates how people move within fixed settings in the social hierarchy. According to Buddhist belief, the position of every living being in the hierarchy is dependent on their relative amounts of “merit” (bun) and “sin” (baap). Power may arise from experience or special knowledge, or alternatively may derive from amulets, and may belong to anyone, while effectiveness, by contrast, derives only from merit. | Typescript
