By lay centrality I mean an increasingly important role for laity in all aspects of religious life and a weakening of the distinction between clerical and lay status. Lay centrality characterizes the nineteenth- and twentieth-century history of both Buddhism and Shinto and is closely related to the appearance of new religious groups outside the ecclesiastical hierarchy of either tradition. Lay centrality in Buddhism was stimulated after the Meiji Restoration by haibutsu kishaku (movement to destroy Buddhism), which became the occasion for serious reform within temple Buddhism. Early Meiji Buddhism witnessed the appearance of popularizers, ecumenical thought, and moves to initiate laity in the precepts, all aspects of the trend to lay centrality.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=bookitem&amp;rft.atitle=The+Lotus+Sutra+in+Modern+Japan&amp;rft.btitle=The+Lotus+Sutra+in+Japanese+culture&amp;rft.place=Honolulu&amp;rft.pub=University+of+Hawaii+Press&amp;rft.date=1989&amp;rft_id=info%3Aoclcnum%2F18960211&amp;rft.isbn=9780824811983&amp;rft.aulast=Hardacre&amp;rft.aufirst=helen&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DO03rvTi0vwAC%26q%3Dmeiji%2520buddhism%2520lay%2520nichiren%26pg%3DPA209&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ANichiren+Buddhism" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-67"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-67">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFEllwood2003" class="citation book cs1">Ellwood, Robert S.
