It also examines Buddhist imagery and the flourish of new motifs in the fantastic dreamworld and their relationship with Buddhism. This study relates the Youming lu to the development of popular Chinese Buddhist beliefs, attempting to single out ideas that differ from the beliefs found in Buddhist scriptures as well as miraculous tales written especially to promote Buddhism. 410 0$aSinica Leidensia ;$vVolume 114. 606 $aBuddhism$zChina$xHistory 606 $aBuddhist literature, Chinese$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSupernatural 615 0$aBuddhism$xHistory. 615 0$aBuddhist literature, Chinese$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSupernatural. 676 $a895.13/24 700 $aZhang$b Zhenjun$01652526 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816202103321 996 $aBuddhism and tales of the supernatural in early medieval China$94003242 997 $aUNINA
