Question
A monk in this subnational region, known for holding an Iraq War protest sign with the slogan “The System Stinks,” founded the lay organization Diamond Sangha in it. Priestly figures in this region supposedly inspired the New Agey 1948 book The Secret Science Behind Miracles by Max Freedom Long. The ornate, white-granite Iraivan (“YIH-ray-vun”) temple to Shiva is near the Kadapul monastery that Tamil monks founded in this region, where a Hare-Krishna inspired homophobic cult called the Science of Identity Foundation is also based. A replica of Japan’s Byodo-In complex is located in this region’s (*) Valley of the Temples. Missionaries like Walter M. Gibson were allowed to establish Mormon settlements in this region thanks to an Edict of Toleration issued by its ruler. For 10 points, name this archipelago whose local religion was regulated by the kapu system and led by kahunas. ■END■
