A Domesticated Charisma
Unlike comparable texts found in other religious traditions, hagiographies of Chinese Buddhist monks were composed by writers from outside the ecclesia, that is, Confucian scholar-officials. This difference produced, according to some scholars, a “peculiar distortion” in the transmission of the Chinese Buddhist religious heritage. This article examines the results of this anomaly, focusing on inscriptions composed for burial stupas, our richest s…

The Quanzhen Daoist order stands as the most dynamic religious element in north China of the tumultuous thirteenth century. Drawing on funeral epitaphs and abbey commemorations, this article illustrates how famous and obscure Confucian scholar-officials interpreted the order’s remarkable success in various ways. Some credited Quanzhen with pruning Daoism of its post-Han dynasty excrescences and reviving the heritage’s basic teachings. For others,…

Case Studies in Efficacy

In particular, the essay places the tales in their immediate historical context, namely, the political and social disorder that attended the end of the Ta…
Men of the Way and Their Fellow-Travelers
The Problem of Beauty
Domesticity and the Dharma
This article examines how literati depicted pious Buddhist laywomen during the Sung dynasty. Drawing on hundreds of funeral inscriptions for elite women, it illustrates how scholar-officials presented Buddhist practice within the ideological framework of domesticity. Pious women are seen to constitute a different sort of female exempla, displaying assertive, even defiant characters. In their diverse forms of devotion (and anti-clericalism), women…
