"葬儀・法事などを形式的に執り行うのみで、人々の救済や真理の追究など、宗教本来の目的を失ってしまったとして、現代の仏教界を批判して言う語。"

"When it comes to funerals, though, the Japanese have traditionally been inflexibly Buddhist — so much so that Buddhism in 
Japan is often called “funeral Buddhism,” a reference to the religion’s former near-monopoly on the elaborate, and lucrative, 
ceremonies surrounding deaths and memorial services.

But that expression also describes a religion that, by appearing to cater more to the needs of the dead than to those of the 
living, is losing its standing in Japanese society.

“That’s the image of funeral Buddhism: that it doesn’t meet people’s spiritual needs,” said Ryoko Mori, the chief priest at the 
700-year-old Zuikoji Temple here in northern Japan."
