2.
International Max Planck Workshop

"Sangha Economies: Temple Organisation and Exchanges in Contemporary Buddhism"

21 – 22 September 2017

Organisers: Saskia Abrahms-Kavunenko, Christoph Brumann, Beata Świtek
(Research Group "Buddhist Temple Economies in Urban Asia",
http://www.eth.mpg.de/3534110/buddhist_temple_economies)

Venue: Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Halle/Saale, Germany

No other "world religion" has given monasticism such a central role as
Buddhism in which the sangha – the community of monks and, where
recognised, nuns – is one of the "three jewels" (together with the
Buddha and his teachings). While the first monks where itinerant
mendicants, their successors settled down, eventually establishing
prosperous and often very long-lived institutions. When these house
hundreds or even thousands of monks or nuns, it is only natural that
economic and management concerns arise. But these are no less pressing
when, as in Japan, most temples are sustained by just a single priest
and his family.


Questions pertaining to the economic organisation of Buddhist
monasteries and temples have been neglected for a long time,
reflecting the otherworldly orientation of Buddhist doctrine that sees
the attachment to worldly riches as a hindrance for salvation and
enlightenment. In recent years, however, there is a perceptible turn
towards "managing monks" (Jonathan Silk), with several historical
studies showing how economic pursuits were part and parcel of Buddhist
monasticism from early on. Contemporary Buddhism is increasingly being
scrutinised for its economic entanglements, both in theological
attempts to construct a Buddhist economic ethics and in empirical
investigations.


In this international workshop, we wish to focus on the sangha, its
institutions, and its interactions with the laity. We apply an
empirical perspective: doctrinal reasoning is important in real-life
situations but does not suffice to explain the actual flow of goods
and services within, towards, and away from Buddhist temples. We seek
rich ethnographic studies of such flows, how they are socially and
politically embedded, and how clergy and laity justify and evaluate
them. We are particularly interested in economic transactions that
involve monks, priests and nuns within the classic Buddhist traditions
of Theravada and Mahayana (Buddhist lay movements and lay practices
that bypass the clergy are outside our focus).


Crucial aspects include the conceptualisation of exchanges with the
sangha. Can there be such a thing as a "free" and pure-hearted gift,
devoid of the self-interest that, in orthodox formulations, would
subvert the intended merit-making of the layperson? Payments for
ritual services can be interpreted as donations but also as fees and
reimbursements, with symbolic distinction being symbolically marked.
How do gifts to the sangha affect the status and credibility of giver
and recipient, and what happens when family and kin ties influence the
flow of resources?


Equally important is the economics of the institutions that build on
such clergy-laity exchanges. Can one speak of a unified temple economy
at all when sub-units such as colleges, households within temple
precincts, and/or individual monks and nuns transact autonomously on
the basis of separate property and funds? What is considered
acceptable in terms of commercial activities, investments, and paid
visits? State law and institutions, expectations of charity and social
welfare contributions, and the nature of the setting (with cities
having more volatile social relations) also have an influence.
Finally, we are interested in the self-reflection of Buddhist
practitioners and believers, particularly when socialist ideologies or
Buddhist modernism have branded traditional modes of temple support as
questionable or even parasitic. Is there a discourse of crisis or is
regeneration also a possibility?


We expect participants to pre-circulate their papers and, after the
workshop, to revise them for an edited volume or special journal issue
by 15 January 2018.


Abstracts of proposals (500 words maximum) should reach all three
convenors by 1 March 2017
