In this dissertation I argue that in the absence of a strong and organized overarching Sri Lankan Theravada institution to establish and enforce particular organizational models in the United States, there has developed a diversity of models of temple ownership among the four Sri Lankan American temples in my study. Together with adaptations in areas such as Vinaya modification; meditation among the laity; secularization of the monastic vocation; lay leadership and temporary ordination; and the lay management, funding, and founding of temples a renegotiation of the authority and roles of laypeople and monastics has occurred, resulting in laicization. By drawing on Sri Lankan studies and integrating a transnational perspective, I reject the notion that laicization is a result of Americanization. I suggest instead that it represents intensification in the American context of already-existing trends that began in Sri Lanka, exaggerated in part by nonprofit legal norms and the lay founding and funding of temples that can empower lay members. I further suggest that the degree of ethnic exclusivity of a temple is related to a temple's degree of lay authority and may be correlated with temple ownership patterns.
