Pujabhakti is the main activity which is always done in Monasteries, that is a worship undertaken by Buddhists. In pujabhakti, people perform virtue-actions by practising worship, reading vandana, reciting paritta, sutra, and mantra, practicing samadhi, Dhamasavana, practising perfections funds (dana paramitta), and practising Parinama. Generally, in pujabhakti activity participants are the whole of Buddhists from all ages. In Buddhism, there is no gender discrimination. All of lay people, both men and women have the same position in the running of all activities of worship. Each person is responsible for his/her happiness and also the progress gained. Based on the equality of Buddhist men and women, ideally in pujabhakti ceremony will be attended by people of both men and women, but at this point is often found activity pujabhakti in some Monasteries, participants are dominated by women, such as those in the Dharma Mulya Monastery, Simpak Village and Windu Paramita Monastery Ciresek Village Parung Panjang Distric Bogor Regency. This phenomenon raises questions about what factors that cause it. This research used descriptive-qualitative method, especially Phenomenology approach. Based on the problems and objectives of this research, the researcher work directly to the monasteries to conduct observation in natural condition to obtain qualitative data, then be analized, and intrepreted those to make a conclusion. Based on these reasons, the relevant method is a qualitative-descriptive method. From the research that has been done conclude that the factors affecting the lay-women that more actively in pujabhakti activity i.e from the beginning has been active since she was young, have more spare time, get permission and support from her husband. While the factors that affect lay-men are not active in the pujabhakti activity i.e too busy to work, feel not worthy, does not to ‘receive a call’ to learn Buddha Teachings yet, feel a shame to come to the monastery, the assumption that go to the monastery is not important as long as she/he has done good deeds in daily life.
