Today, South Korea's Buddhist nuns have a thriving monastic community under their own control, and they are well known as meditation teachers and social service providers. However, little is known of the women who preceded them. Using primary sources to reveal that which has been lost, forgotten, or willfully ignored, this work reveals various figures, milieux, and activities of female adherents, clerical and lay. Contributors consider examples from the early days of Buddhism in Korea during the Three Kingdoms and Unified Silla periods (first millennium CE); the Kory? period (982?1392), when Buddhism flourished as the state religion; the Chos?n period (1392?1910), when Buddhism was actively suppressed by the Neo-Confucian Court; and the contemporary resurgence of female monasticism that began in the latter part of the twentieth century. 606 $aMonastic and religious life (Buddhism)$zKorea 606 $aMonastic and religious life of women 606 $aBuddhist nuns$zKorea 615 0$aMonastic and religious life (Buddhism) 615 0$aMonastic and religious life of women. 615 0$aBuddhist nuns 676 $a294.3/65708209519 701 $aCho$b Eunsu$f1958-$01650309 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824329103321 996 $aKorean Buddhist nuns and laywomen$93999614 997 $aUNINA
