Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Tier three: a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, matching this atlas's established convention for a Wikipedia citation. Reliable for the basic definition and procedure of upasampada, Buddhist higher monastic ordination; not a substitute for a dedicated scholarly study of Buddhist monastic law. NotesWikipedia's article on upasampada, consulted 2026-08-12. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for the Vinaya's quorum and minimum-age requirements for Buddhist monastic ordination, distinct from the atlas's existing Encyclopedia of Religion and Oxford Dictionary of World Religions citations on the Ordination entity, which cover ordination in general rather than the Buddhist procedure's own specific requirements.
