severing temple-supporter relationship
Buddhist term for formally ending the relationship between a temple and its parishioners or supporters, often when a family leaves a temple's danka system.
Leaving a temple's parishioner system is called ridan.
The procedure for severing the temple relationship requires discussion with the temple.
Compound of 離 (ri, 'separate from') and 檀 (dan, short for 檀家, 'parishioner family'). The term is specific to Japanese Buddhist temple administration.
