非常inspiring
評分更大的啓發倒是在《冥祥記》以外的。作者成功地讓我對所有的text保持警惕,history或biography顯然不足以反映宗教史的全貌,誌怪或miracle tales也需要迴到當時的context去理解。另外,一方麵作者編選故事是有目的的,另一方麵在田曉菲所言的manuscript culture中,故事的讀者也在改編故事。
評分Campany's article "On the Very Idea of Religion" has been extremely inspiring for me, especially that some points he raises released me from the long time question of "what IS buddhism." The answer seems to be there is no such an ontologically existing thing called Buddhism, rather, it is an abstract idea representative of an imagined community..
評分好像享有盛譽吧,我覺得他說的最重要的幾點小南一郎都說瞭,考證部分也沒有超過中國學者。什麼是佛教這種問題實在提不起興趣。

Robert Ford Campany is professor of Asian studies and religions at Vanderbilt University.
In early medieval China hundreds of Buddhist miracle texts were circulated, inaugurating a trend that would continue for centuries. Each tale recounted extraordinary events involving Chinese persons and places—events seen as verifying claims made in Buddhist scriptures, demonstrating the reality of karmic retribution, or confirming the efficacy of Buddhist devotional practices. Robert Ford Campany, one of North America’s preeminent scholars of Chinese religion, presents in this volume the first complete, annotated translation, with in-depth commentary, of the largest extant collection of miracle tales from the early medieval period, Wang Yan’s Records of Signs from the Unseen Realm, compiled around 490 C.E.
In addition to the translation, Campany provides a substantial study of the text and its author in their historical and religious settings. He shows how these lively tales helped integrate Buddhism into Chinese society at the same time that they served as platforms for religious contestation and persuasion. Campany offers a nuanced, clear methodological discussion of how such narratives, being products of social memory, may be read as valuable evidence for the history of religion and culture.
Readers interested in Buddhism; historians of Chinese religions, culture, society, and literature; scholars of comparative religion: All will find Signs from the Unseen Realm a stimulating and rich contribution to scholarship.
