Description

Explore the evolution of Zen as a non-monastic spiritual practice in modern Japan with this scholarly work from the Routledge Contemporary Japan Series. This book examines how lay Zen associations, such as Ningen Zen, have shaped religious life through unique organization, ideology, and ritual. Drawing on three years of ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, and archival research, the text investigates how laypeople adapt Zen teachings to suit the modern zeitgeist and claim religious authority. By combining Buddhist texts with historical sources and field data, this study provides a deep look at Zen as a lived religion. It is an essential resource for those studying Buddhism, Japanese history, or contemporary religious movements.
