Abstract | This 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. |
