Beschreibung:
Paula Arai is associate professor of Asian religions at Louisiana State University. Her research interests include Japanese Buddhist rituals, arts, and practices; women's experiences and contributions; and healing. Her primary research is based on anthropological fieldwork in Japan and has been supported by Fulbright, American Council of Learned Societies, Mellon Foundation, and the Reischauer Institute of Harvard University. In addition to numerous articles and chapters in edited volumes, Arai is also the author of Bringing Zen Home: The Healing Heart of Japanese Women's Rituals.
In this study, based on both historical evidence and ethnographic data, Paula Arai shows that nuns were central agents in the foundation of Buddhism in Japan in the sixth century.
