Sojiji is one of the two head temples of Soto Zen, the largest sect
of Japanese Buddhism. The temple is steeped in centuries of culture
and tradition, but it is very much rooted in the present and
future, performing functions and catering to needs that reflect the
changing demographic, social, and religious landscapes of
contemporary Japan. Based on more than fifteen years of fieldwork,
interviews, and archival research, Sojiji: Discipline, Compassion,
and Enlightenment at a Japanese Zen Temple immerses the reader in
the lives and experiences of the different groups that comprise
Sojiji's contemporary religious community. Through clear and
accessible prose, ethnographically-grounded analysis, and
emotionally compelling stories, the reader will explore the rich
pastiche of daily life and ritual activity at a major Japanese Zen
temple in institutional, historical, and social context through the
lived practices of its community of clergy, practitioners,
parishioners, and visitors.
