Hokkeji是一座古老的奈良寺，曾矗立在高代王后(701-760)建立的国家修道院网络的顶端，拥有在某些方面比它本身更大的历史。它的发展是日本女性修道史上更大模式的象征。在这本书中，洛里·米克斯探索了日本最著名的修道院的复兴和日本修女任命血统的重建。米克斯考虑了一系列围绕女性参与佛教的问题，当时她们在传统中的地位正在发生重大变化。Hokkeji驳斥了普遍接受的观点，即女性只是将旨在阻止女性修行的正统佛教话语内化，并为前现代日本女性的宗教生活提供了新的视角。它对教义和社会文化实践之间的关系的关注，产生了对佛教实践的更全面的看法，因为它是在佛教经院主义的稀有世界之外的实地实践。
Hokkeji, an ancient Nara temple that once stood at the apex of a state convent network established by Queen-Consort Komyo (701-760), possesses a history that in some ways is bigger than itself. Its development is emblematic of larger patterns in the history of female monasticism in Japan. In this volume, Lori Meeks explores the revival of Japan's most famous convent and the reestablishment of a nuns' ordination lineage in Japan. Meeks considers a broad range of issues surrounding women's engagement with Buddhism during a time when their status within the tradition was undergoing significant change. Hokkeji rejects the commonly accepted notion that women simply internalized orthodox Buddhist discourses meant to discourage female practice and offers new perspectives on the religious lives of women in premodern Japan. Its attention to the relationship between doctrine and socio-cultural practice produces a fuller view of Buddhism as it was practiced on the ground - outside the rarefied world of Buddhist scholasticism.
