Professor Fister’s lecture will focus on three princess-nuns active in the 17th and early 18th centuries. Two of the nuns established their own convents and a third entered and revitalized an imperial convent with a history dating back to the 14th century. Influenced by the Lotus Sutra, the act of creating devotional objects became an important part of their Buddhist practice.
