Co-Winner of the 1988 Best First Book Prize in the History of Religions, American Council of Learned Societies "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
