Devotional Cults and Medieval Nara Buddhism: Explorations in Lived Religion
-
- Author(s) / Creator(s)
-
SSHRC IG awarded 2021: This project investigates how medieval Japanese monastics from Nara-area schools performed cultic practices. But it is also concerned with how modern scholars treat the "lived religion" of those practices. My focus on creative syntheses of material, visual, and ritual culture in medieval Nara devotional cults has been influenced by the study of lived religion. However, one aim of this project is to show how characterizations in the study of lived religion reproduce oppositions between the official and popular, clerical and lay, and doctrine and practice that the field sought to overcome.
