Based on archival research, fieldwork inside prisons, and interviews with chaplains, it reveals another dimension of Buddhist modernism that developed as Japan's religious organizations carved out a niche as defenders of society by fighting crime. The case of prison chaplaincy shows that despite constitutional commitments to freedom of religion and separation of religion from state, statism remains an enduring feature of mainstream Japanese religious life in the contemporary era"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Religious work with prisoners $z Japan. 650 0 $a Justice $x Buddhism. $x Buddhism. 650 0 $a Prison chaplains $x Buddhism. 650 0 $a Karma. 650 0 $a Dharma (Buddhism). $b Interpretation and construction. 650 0 $a Capital punishment $z Japan. 650 7 $a Capital punishment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00846392 650 7 $a Dharma (Buddhism) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00892094 650 7 $a Justice $x Buddhism. $x Buddhism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02007160 650 7 $a Karma. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01198502 650 7 $a Prison chaplains $x Buddhism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02020418 650 7 $a Religious work with prisoners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01094342 651 7 $a Japan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204082 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lyons, Adam J. $t Karma and punishment $d Cambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Asia Center, 2021 $z 9781684176335 $w (DLC) 2021010251 830 0 $a Harvard East Asian monographs ; $v 443. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526015303.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DBAAD446323411EC8B1165C359ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
