"Teiser offers an excellent study of the role of the festival in
medieval (third-to-ninth centuries) Chinese religious life. . . .
[A] vibrant portrayal of the living faith of a large portion of
medieval China. . . . His transcendence of traditional boundaries
between Buddhology and sinology has set a new standard for future
studies of Chinese religion."---Terry F. Kleeman, The Journal of
Asian Studies
"An admirable attempt to focus on the interstices of Chinese and
Buddhist conceptions of the afterlife."---Linda L. Lam-Easton,
Religious Studies Review
