| 抄録 | This article explores issues of temple succession (seshū), soteriology, and
priestly identity through the experiences of three Buddhist women to demonstrate
that female priests’ experience eludes either/or contrasts between submission
to male authority or feminist resistance to patriarchy and to argue for
an assessment of women priests’ agency on its own terms. Two of these women
serve as abbots of temples, while one works as a deputy abbot (fuku jūshoku).
They represent temple- and non-temple born (zaike), urban and rural temples,
and different regions of the country. They have also each taken different
paths to their current roles: one through marriage, and the other two through
an unexpected death in the family. Relying on the voices of these priests, this
article considers ways in which women navigate the basic pathways of priesthood:
how they “choose” to be priests, how they are trained, and how they
situate themselves in regard to institutional, doctrinal, and societal expectations.
As such, this article also engages the ongoing concern of scholars and
activists with politicized, normative approaches to agency in gender studies
in non-Western contexts. Eschewing an assessment of what each of these
priests offers in the way of resistance, this article instead considers how women
priests’ experiences allow us to redefine contemporary temple Buddhism. |
