| Abstract | Celibate Theravada Buddhist monks at Malwatte Vihare in Kandy, Ceylon, form ordination lineages through a continuous succession of monk‐teachers and their pupils. A statistical analysis shows a strong tendency for lineage heads to ordain relatives as pupils if they have temple property to transmit. The field data do not bear out claims of monks that the relationship is normally matrilateral. It is pointed out that informants translate expected behavior patterns between monks and their pupils into matrilateral kinship terms, but choose heirs to their properly strictly bilaterally. Some conclusions are drawn pertaining to Sinhalese kinship structure and the social organization of the Buddhist Sangha.
