The Body Incantatory: Spells and the Ritual Imagination in Medieval Chinese Buddhism - The Sheng Yen Series in Chinese Buddhist Studies
Copp, Paul (Assistant professor in Chinese religion, The University of Chicago)
The Body Incantatory reveals the histories and logics of practice of deeply embodied forms of Buddhist ritual. Paul Copp vividly captures the diversity of Buddhist practice among medieval monks, ritual healers, and other individuals lost to history, offering a corrective to accounts that have overemphasized elite, canonical materials.
