Drawing on ethnographic research conducted between 2010 and 2012, I argue that laity have very different concerns than do the scholars, activists, government officials, and monastic authorities engaged in public debate over the scriptural validity of the controversial revival. The primary concern of laity is whether or not they can get their religious needs met at their local bhikkhunī temple, not whether or not the bhikkhunī revival conforms to Theravāda monastic regulations (vinaya). Taking a rural farming village as a case study, I focus particular attention on the affective ties between laity and nuns, demonstrating that laity in this village express their support for the bhikkhunī revival in the language of love (Sinhala: ādayara, ādare). I analyze what laity mean by the word “love” in the context of lay- 1 Department of Religion, Mount Holyoke College.

  • Sri Pada': TRENDS in POPULAR BUDDHISM in SRI LANKA

    Sri Pada': TRENDS in POPULAR BUDDHISM in SRI LANKA

    GOD OF COMPASSION AND THE DIVINE PROTECTOR OF 'sRi pADA': TRENDS IN POPULAR BUDDHISM IN SRI LANKA Introduction Theravada Buddhism in Sri Lanka has always coexisted with various forms of other religious practices oriented to deities, planets, astrology and demons (yakku), and some of these often figure in the Hindu tradition as well. However, the Buddhist doctrine in its canonical form stands apart from the culturally- specific forms of popular religious practices. Beliefs in gods and other supernatural powers and rituals are, in theory, inappropriate to be considered as part of Buddhism. But many anthropologists and sociologists who have spent extended periods of time in Theravada Buddhist societies have shown that Buddhists do believe in various types of supernatural powers and the magical efficacy of rituals which are outside the Buddhist doctrine. According to Obeyesekere (1962) astrology, gods and demon belief in 'Sinhala Buddhism' are guided by basic Buddhist principles such as karma, rebirth, suffering etc. So in that sense the practice of deity worship cannot be described as totally un- Buddhistic, yet at the same time it does not fall into the category of folk religious practices like bali and tovil adopted by popular Buddhism (see De Silva 2000, 2006). In Sri Lanka. there are four deities regarded as the guardians of the Buddha-sasana in the island: Vishnu, Saman, Kataragama, Natha and Pattini. Although Vishnu and Kataragama (Skanda) are originally Hindu gods, the Buddhists have taken them over as Buddhist deities, referring to them also by the localized designation, Uppalavanna and Kataragama. The role of Kataragama, Vi1inI1UNatha, and Pattini worship in the contemporary Sri Lankan society has been well researched by several scholars (e.g., Obeyesekere 1984; Holt 1991,2005; Gunasekara 2007) but the position of god Saman in the similar context has not been adequately investigated.

Sometimes this task is made difficult not by lack of gratitude nor lack of reason for it. Rather, we are occasionally fortunate enough to have more gratitude than words can contain.

    Arising of Faith in the Human Body: The Significance of Embryological Discourses in Medieval Shingon Buddhist Tradition Takahiko Kameyama Ryukoku University, Kyoto INTRODUCTION It was on the early Heian 平安 time period that the principal compo- nents of the Buddhist embryological knowledge, such as the red and white drops (shakubyaku nitei 赤白二渧) or the five developmental stages of embryo (tainai goi 胎内五位) from kalala (karara 羯剌藍) to praśākha (harashakya 鉢羅奢佉), were adopted into Japanese Esoteric Buddhist traditions.1 Since then, as discussed in the works of James H. Sanford2 or Ogawa Toyoo 小川豊生,3 these discourses with regard to the reproductive substances of a mother and father or the stages of fetal development within the womb were the indispensable interpreta- tive tools for both doctrine and practices of Shingon 眞言 and Tendai 天台Esoteric Buddhism.4 After being fully adopted, the embryological 1. As Toyoo Ogawa 小川豊生 points out, Enchin 円珍 (814–891), the Tendai Esoteric Buddhist monk during the early Heian time period, refers to the red and white drops and kalala, the mixture of these reproductive substances, in his Bussetsu kanfugenbosatsugyōbōkyō ki 佛説觀普賢菩薩行法經記 (Taishō, vol. 56, no. 2194). See Ogawa Toyoo, Chūsei nihon no shinwa moji shintai 中世日本の 神話・文字・身体 (Tokyo: Shinwasha 森話社, 2014), 305–6 and 331n6. 2. See James H.

For example, the fundamental non-dual nature between the womb realm mandala (taizōkai mandara 胎藏界曼荼羅) and that of diamond realm (kongōkai mandala 金剛界曼荼羅) was frequently represented by sexual intercourse and the mixture of the red and white drops.

    4 Prayer Beads in Japanese Sōtō Zen Michaela Mross WHen a lay parishioner visits a Buddhist temple, he or she usually car- ries a Buddhist rosary.1 It marks a parishioner versus the occasional visi- tor and is considered a necessary item of proper attire. For most Japanese, not wearing a rosary when putting the hands in prayer or reverence seems to be improper.2 Likewise, the official webpage of the Sōtō Zen school instructs lay followers to not forget prayer beads when attending funerals or memorial services. Parishioners should further put a rosary on the lowest shelf of their home altar, ready to be used during prayers.3 Also, the members of the choirs singing Buddhist hymns at Sōtō tem- ples wear short rosaries while singing and playing a bell. Thus, prayer beads serve “as sources of identification,” to borrow John Kieschnick’s words.4 The rosary is an especially interesting object because— besides the robe or o- kesa— “prayer beads are kept closer to the practitioner than any other ritual object. They become physical evidence of faith, devotion, and practice.”5 In contrast to Tendai, Shingon, or Pure Land clerics, Sōtō clerics rarely use prayer beads in ritual settings. Moreover, images of Zen masters usu- ally do not depict monks or nuns holding prayer beads; instead, a fly-whisk or another kind of staff signifies their status as a Zen cleric. Therefore, Buddhist rosaries are typically not associated with Zen. Nevertheless, prayer beads have been used for various purposes in the Sōtō school as well. This chapter aims to illuminate some of the functions and interpre- tations of the rosary in Japanese Sōtō Zen.
