| Abstract | This essay suggests that one reason for the success of Theravada Buddhism in early Southeast Asia was its appeal to women. The maternal metaphor，a prominent theme in Buddhist texts, was both familiar and relevant to the lives of all females, regardless of their social standing. Translated into a local environment，the interaction between motherhood and merit-making provided new opportunities for lay women to display their piety and strengthened their links with the monkhood. |
