Lay Buddhist

Japanese: 居士仏教 - こじぶっきょう
Lay Buddhist
〘 noun 〙 Buddhism practiced among people who do not become monks but live a lay life while converting to Buddhism and practicing asceticism. In India, there are religious sects of lay people in contrast to religious sects of monks, and this is said to be one of the reasons for the rise of Mahayana Buddhism. In China and Japan, the Byakurensha and Kangakkai sects are examples of this. → Koji②
