Becoming Activists in Global China
Thanabots, Popes, and Other Religious Leaders
This essay explores the possibilities offered by AI and thanabots to solve the age-old issue of what happens when a charismatic religious leader dies. After a brief presentation of how thanabots function, I imagine how they could eradicate the discomforts arising from the death of founders, prophets, and pontiffs. I first apply this newly available solution to the Roman Catholic church: thanabots offer the possibility of simplifying the conclaves…
Religion and Biography in China and Tibet
The Chinese and Tibetan traditions value biography as a primary historiographical and literary genre, yet the study of religious biographies in these traditions has been an area of relative neglect. In pre-modern China the biography is fundamental to historical writing - the role and shape of secular biographies was formed before the formation of Daoist sects and the entry of Buddhism from India. When these religions sought to remember, commemora…
The Religion of Falun Gong
Provides the first serious examination of Falun Gong teachings and how those teachings relate to earlier Chinese religious ideas and contemporary society
For Gods, Ghosts and Ancestors
Historicizing “Cross-Cultural”
s Centre for Cross-Cultural Research, a new field of research for the Centre was announced: "Conceptualising Cross-Cultural Research", which in later years became "Interrogating Concepts of the Cross-Cultural". 1 The 2007 iteration of the website summarizes it in this way
More Than One Adam? Revelation and Philology in Nineteenth-Century China
From Marco Polo to Richard Nixon, narratives of the encounter between Chinese and Westerners have been defining texts of European cultures and their descendants. Successive but sporadic reports from travellers, missionaries, diplomats, traders and others have provided a model of an alternative way of arranging people, of organizing their lives, of thinking about the state of being human; one that described a government that was, or at least was r…

The Falun Gong, Buddhism and “Buddhist qigong”
The Life and Times of Li Hongzhi
When the suppression of the falun gong started in July 1999, one of the targets of the government's propaganda was the biography of Li Hongzhi, its founder and leader. This article examines two versions of a biography of Li Hongzhi published by the falun gong in 1993 and 1994 that are no longer available. This biography presents Li as possessing superhuman abilities and god-like insight. In my analysis, I place this biography in the context of a …
