520 |a Since the so-called Machida affair, the Sōtō Zen school has become embroiled in controversies over traditional institutional practices that foster prejudicial attitudes and social discrimination. In response to public denunciations by the Buraku Liberation League, the Sōtō school founded a Human Rights Division charged with eliminating discriminatory practices and reforming Sōtō's public image. Evidence of discriminatory language, necrologies, posthumous names, talismans, and ritual practices within Sōtō has been publicized and steps taken to eliminate them. This is the larger context within which Sōtō scholars, including advocates of "Critical Buddhism" (which has attracted wide attention outside of Japan) have sought to repudiate Buddhist teachings (such as "original awakening") that they identify as fostering social discrimination.
