內容簡介TOPMEEKS (RELIGION AND EAST ASIAN LANGUAGES & CULTURES, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA) EXPLORES THE REVIVAL OF THE HOKKEJI CONVENT DURING THE 13TH CENTURY AND THE SUBSEQUENT REESTABLISHMENT OF A NUNS’ ORDINATION LINEAGE IN JAPAN. CONSIDERING A BROAD RANGE OF ISSUES SURROUNDING WOMEN’S INVOLVEMENT WITH BUDDHISM DURING THIS PERIOD, THE AUTHOR REJECTS THE NOTION THAT WOMEN SIMPLY ACCEDED TO ORTHODOX BUDDHIST TEACHINGS MEANT TO DISCOURAGE FEMALE PRACTICE. INSTEAD, MEEKS OFFERS NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE RELIGIOUS LIVES OF WOMEN IN PRE-MODERN JAPAN, PAYING PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DOCTRINE AND SOCIO-CULTURAL PRACTICE OUTSIDE THE RAREFIED WORLD OF BUDDHIST SCHOLASTICISM.
