The book intends to grasp the meaning of upasaka / upasika or
Buddhist laity in Digha- and Majjhima-nikaya of the Pali canon.
Considering the texts as oral literature, the author examines and
interprets the structure and stock phrases constructing the
narrative with a theory of religious experience. Upasaka / upasika
is hence seen as the non-monastic follower, who, having experienced
the significance of dhamma and the superiority of the Buddha, has
the trust in the goal and spiritual path that the Buddha has shown.
In this connection, Buddhist community is the assembly of the
followers, monastic and non-monastic alike, sharing the same common
ground and following the spiritual path in pursuit of individual
liberation, which in tandem contributes to perpetuation of the
community.
