Here, he explores how Chinese authors, including Daoists and non-Buddhists, received and deployed ideas about rebirth from the third to the sixth centuries C.E. In tracing the antecedents of these scriptures, Bokenkamp uncovers a stunning array of non-Buddhist accounts that provide detail on the realms of the dead, their denizens, and human interactions with them. Bokenkamp demonstrates that the motive for the Daoist acceptance of Buddhist notions of rebirth lay not so much in the power of these ideas as in the work they could be made to do. 517 3 $aDaoism and the birth of rebirth in China 606 $aTaoism 606 $aReincarnation$xBuddhism 615 0$aTaoism. 615 0$aReincarnation$xBuddhism. 676 $a299.514237 700 $aBokenkamp$b Stephen R.$f1949- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911143023703321 997 $aUNINA
