Spells and the Ritual Imagination in Medieval Chinese Buddhism" 
  ISBN: 0231162707 | 2014 | EPUB | 464 pages | 31
MB
  
  Whether chanted as devotional prayers, intoned against the dangers of the wilds, or invoked to heal
the sick and bring ease to the dead, incantations were pervasive features of Buddhist practice in late medieval China
(600--1000 C.E.). Material incantations, in forms such as spell-inscribed amulets and stone pillars, were also central
to the spiritual lives of both monks and laypeople. In centering its analysis on the Chinese material culture of these
deeply embodied forms of Buddhist ritual, The Body Incantatory reveals histories of practice -- and logics of practice
-- that have until now remained hidden. Paul Copp examines inscribed stones, urns, and other objects unearthed from
anonymous tombs; spells carved into pillars near mountain temples; and manuscripts and prints from both tombs and the
Dunhuang cache. Focusing on two major Buddhist spells, or dharani, and their embodiment of the incantatory logics of
adornment and unction, he makes breakthrough claims about the significance of Buddhist incantation practice not only in
medieval China but also in Central Asia and India. Copp's work 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.
