Guardians Of The Buddha'S Home: Domestic Religion In Contemporary Jodo Shinshu

Draws on nearly three years of ethnographic research to provide a comprehensive view of Jodo Shinshu (True Pure Land) temple life with temple wives (known as bomori, or temple guardians) at its centre. Throughout, Jessica Starling focuses on "domestic religion", a mode of doing religion centering on more informal religious expression.
