AbstractThis study surveys the emergence of teaching assemblies and lay societies in
the Meiji era. These small ormnizations played a decisive role in the for­
mation of modern sectarian institutions, before the various sectarian pre­
scriptions and temple rules were established. These groups mediated
between the clergy and laity and fostered a debate on sectarian identity
with eloquent responses to the growing hegemony of head temples. Rapid
development of the teaching assemblies and lay societies during a period
when the relationship between religion and the state was tense also illus­
trates the fact that groups of like-minded people were seemng new ways to
express their beliefs outside the confines of sectarian Buddhism. By using-
original documents this article shows the evolution of the Zen denomina­
tions within the larger context of the leml framework that shaped all Bud­
dhist denominations, and depicts how the divisions between sects and
branches were reshuffled several times before stabilizing in their present
form.
