    Classical Chan/Zen literature is famous for its ostensive disparagement of scriptural authority. In practice, however, sutra recitation and invocation of dhāra?ī have been a significant and influential component of Zen monastic life throughout history. Daily and monthly sutra-recitation services take up more of the monks' time and effort than any other activity. This article examines the liturgical function of Buddhist scriptures within the Japanese Rinzai tradition. It also aims to better understand how Zen practitioners interpret the meaning and purpose of sutra recitation and how they bridge the aforementioned gap between soteriology and practice. I explore the Kankinbo chapter of Goke sansho yoromon, written by the eighteenth-century Japanese Rinzai monk Torei Enji. Torei focuses on the mental and physical benefits of sutra recitation and its power to positively affect natural and supernatural environments. This illustrates the multifaceted understanding of texts as ritual objects, one that challenges strict distinctions between worldly benefits and spiritual cultivation. Torei's exegetical efforts to explain the function and justify the legitimacy of sutra recitation attest that the tension between antinomian rhetoric and worship was a major concern for Zen reformers in Edo Japan. Accordingly, I contend that the Kankinbo can advance our understanding of the meaning and function of rituals within Edo-period Zen and shed new light on modern interpretations of the tradition.

    The Robe of Leaves is an early modern text written by Gyochi (1778-1841), a priest and head scholar of the Tozan Shugendo organization. It presents the erudite face of a tradition that is usually associated with folklore and practice, rather than scholasticism. Along with a rise in government control and sectarianism, Shugendo in the Edo period witnessed significant textual production as doctrine and practice were interpreted and recorded. In his work, Gyochi portrays Shugendo as sitting squarely within the confines of Japanese Buddhism as well as connected to the history of continental Buddhism. A competent Sanskritist, equally at ease with native and continental Asian sources, he quotes collections of imperial poetry and sources from continental Buddhism, connecting to the roots of Buddhism in India and China, as well as early Buddhist ascetic practice in Japan. Gyochi also devotes considerable space to eulogizing En no Gyoja, the founder of his tradition, and defending him from charges of heterodoxy. The Robe of Leaves is considered an important record of early modern Shugendo and offers us a glimpse into the concerns of a tradition that was persecuted a few decades after the text was written.

    Between 700 and 1000 CE, Japanese political elites engaged in a variety of practices dedicated to obtaining longevity. Although most of these had continental roots, Japanese courtiers selected and adapted methods to suit their particular social and political circumstances. In particular, they were interested in finding a means not only to prolong life, but also to stave off the marks of senescence—to attain youthful, "ageless" longevity. To understand the unique features and significance of early Japanese longevity practices requires attention to their broader cultural and religio-political contexts. In particular, it is important to consider them in connection with the symbolic uses of the body in some of the dominant political ideologies of the day. The early Japanese court employed an eclectic set of strategies to legitimate the "heavenly sovereign" or Tenno, including many that linked royal virtue to long life and health. Other strategies involved a range of symbolic practices that projected an image of the Tennō as an ever-vital, deathless being. These tropes were also reflected in early Japanese literature, in which the imperial court was commonly portrayed as an incorruptible zone of vitality likened to a land of immortals. This article sets out to examine ritual and ceremonial practices as well as the use of elixirs and other "magical medicines" in light of this political and cultural milieu. It concludes with an examination of early Japanese legends that further illustrate the early Japanese fascination with the prospect, not just of longevity, but of prolonged vitality or a miraculous return to youth.

    The nearly-complete set of the Buddhist canon dedicated to the chief clansmen—and kami—of the Hata clan at Matsuno'o Shrine in Kyoto, Japan, hand-copied during the mid-twelfth century and kept on site until the late nineteenth century, and only “rediscovered” by researchers in the early 1990s, provides a distinct example of what manuscript cultures can teach us in today’s digital age. The Matsuno'o Shrine Canon is of great value for researchers of premodern religious literature in Chinese because it contains very early and significantly different versions of many canonical Buddhist scriptures that had already been canonized through numerous printed editions by the twelfth century in China and neighboring kingdoms. Also, the narrative of its ownership and provenance in Japan during the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-centuries will be insightful for those investigating the crossroads between sectarianism, iconoclasm, and religious violence in the modern age.

    Previous scholarship on sacred mountains and women discussed restrictions on women’s access to sacred places primarily in terms of the impurity of blood (chi no kegare) from menstruation and childbirth, as well as Buddhist precepts. Historians took the initiative in examining these restrictions, and religious studies scholars and folklorists further advanced our knowledge. However, this body of work often produces a romanticized, stereotypical image of women heroically practicing asceticism on sacred mountains in the face of many restrictions. It also fails to sufficiently include the perspective of gender, and often displays a mistaken notion that gender studies is the niche study of women, and as such, should be left to women. In this article I assert that including the perspective of gender means not only clarifying the existence of gender disparities, but also shining a light on the activities of people who have been marginalized. Applying the perspective of gender in the study of sacred mountain cults uncovers the existence and activities of women that have been rendered invisible by the persistence of deeply rooted androcentric traditions. This article asks what kind of difficulties face contemporary women who perform ascetic training at sacred mountains because they are women, and how they have acquired and maintain their access to their places of practice.

    This article illuminates the significance of the Mañjuśrī cult during Jōkei's (1155-1213) Kasagi years and his innovative synthesis of material, textual, and ritual culture. The study of such medieval Nara scholar-monks as Jōkei suffers from lingering biases that privilege the Buddhist schools strongest now over the many other movements thriving in medieval Japan. Their activities are typically cast as reactionary responses to popularizing tendencies championed elsewhere rather than as creative transformations of Buddhist teachings and practices in their own right. Even amid revisionist studies, the textual concerns of scholar-monks are often contrasted with the “lived religion” in such practices as icon veneration, pilgrimage, and simplified chanting rituals. However, this article uses Jōkei's involvement in the Kasagidera restoration and the Mañjuśrī cult, including his composition of a kōshiki devoted to Mañjuśrī (Jp. Monju), to show how these same practices were integral to the concerns of Nara scholar-monks. The online supplement includes a complete annotated translation of Jōkei's Monju kōshiki.

    Abstract: Dishonored is not only one of the most popular and original game series on the market, but from a religious point of view it has one of the most complex and original fictional belief systems. A character that particularly stands out is the Outsider, a mysterious divine-like entity that interacts with all main playable characters, giving them supernatural abilities and commenting on their choices. He inhabits a mysterious otherworld called Void, containing everything supernatural, chaotic, magical and irrational. The Outsider also indirectly affects the ‘human world’ by figuring in underground cults and their opponents, creating an interesting mosaic of religious teachings and struggles. In this article, we would like to examine the Outsider both in the context of the game lore and comparative religion studies, with emphasis on the analysis of his character and its parallels in world mythologies.

    As an introduction to the case studies collected in the current special issue, this review article provides a brief, and by no means exhaustive, overview of research that proves to be relevant to the development of a concept of an aesthetics of knowledge in the academic study of religion and in science and technology studies. Finally, it briefly discusses recent work explicitly addressing the aesthetic entangle-ment of science and religion.
