| 摘要 | This article draws from the social welfare activities promoted by the Japanese lay Buddhist organization Risshō Kōseikai to investigate the relation between religious values and “value” intended as the worth of an action. Scholarly works on religiously inspired activism share a tendency to present religious values as an antithesis to instrumental actions based on a calculation of costs and benefits. This article instead demonstrates that the social engagement of Kōseikai members was rooted in the integration of self-benefit and altruism on both practical and normative levels. Building on recent developments in the anthropological theory of value, the article illustrates how religious beliefs ascribed value to welfare activities by means of their incorporation in a universalized relationship of exchange with the cosmos. The attribution of religious significance to social care provision reinforced practitioners’ motivations to engage in these activities, thus countering the present decline of traditional patterns of mutual support. |
