DESCRIPTION
Tens
of thousands of epitaphs, or funerary biographies, survive from imperial China.
Engraved on stone and placed in a grave, they typically focus on the deceased’s
biography and exemplary words and deeds, expressing the survivors’ longing for
the dead. These epitaphs provide glimpses of the lives of women, men who did
not leave a mark politically, and children—people who are not well documented
in more conventional sources such as dynastic histories and local gazetteers.
This
anthology of translations makes available funerary biographies covering nearly
two thousand years, from the Han dynasty through the nineteenth century,
selected for their value as teaching material for courses in Chinese history,
literature, and women’s studies as well as world history. Because they include
revealing details about personal conduct, families, local conditions, and
social, cultural, and religious practices, these epitaphs illustrate ways of
thinking and the realities of daily life. Most can be read and analyzed on
multiple levels, and they stimulate investigation of topics such as the
emotional tenor of family relations, rituals associated with death, Confucian
values, women’s lives as written about by men, and the use of sources assumed
to be biased. These biographies will be especially effective when combined with
more readily available primary sources such as official documents, religious
and intellectual discourses, and anecdotal stories, promising to generate
provocative discussion of literary genre, the ways historians use sources, and
how writers shape their accounts.
Patricia Ebrey is Williams Family Endowed Professor of
History at the University of Washington. Ping Yao is professor
of history at California State University, Los Angeles. Cong Ellen
Zhang is associate professor of history at the University of Virginia.

QUERY> Garbhāvākrāntisūtra
by Gurmeet Kaur
Dear friends,I am a Doctoral Candidate in the discipline of Women's Studies and Development at Panjab University, India. Besides this, I am pursuing a Postgraduate Diploma in Buddhist Studies. For my dissertation work, I am looking for the Garbhāvākrāntisūtra. Does anyone have knowledge of or access to this sūtra? Existing publications and previous research efforts would be helpful. With thanks in advance,
Gurmeet Kaur

QUERY> Schipper essay "Purifier l'autel..." request
by Richard Payne
Dear Colleagues,I wonder if anyone might have a scan of:
Schipper, Kristofer M. 1990. “Purifier l'autel, tracer les limites, à travers les rïtuels taoistes.” In Detienne, M., ed., Tracés de fondation, pp. 31–47. Louvain-Paris: Peeters.
My thanks to Charles Orzech who kindly provided the full biblio-info.
Normally I would attempt to get this through inter-library loan, but these are of course not normal times.
best wishes and good health to all of you,
Richard
QUERY> New location, if any, for online 2nd Koryo canon?
by Eric Greene
Dear all,does anyone know what has happened to the website hosting the so-called "Tripitaka Koreana Knowledgebase," whereon one could view images of the 2nd Koryo edition of the Chinese Buddhist canon? The address where this used to be seems to no longer be functioning. I notice that the links to images of the 2nd Koryo canon that are embedded in the online SAT dabase of the Taisho canon similarly no longer work. If anyone has any information about this, it would be greatly appreciated.

NEW BOOK> "Buddhist Responses to Religious Diversity: Theravāda and Tibetan Perspectives"
by Christopher Chase
Hi all,Perhaps I missed it, but Equinox has a new volume out on Buddhism and religious pluralism that I wanted to make sure all were aware of :
Buddhist Responses to Religious Diversity: Theravāda and Tibetan Perspectives
Edited by : Douglas Duckworth, Abraham Vélez de Cea, Elizabeth J. Harris
This volume discusses contemporary Buddhist responses to religious diversity from Theravādin and Tibetan Buddhist perspectives. Buddhist attitudes toward other religious traditions (and its own) are unquestionably diverse, and have undergone changes throughout historical eras and geographic spaces, as Buddhists, and traditions Buddhists have encountered, continue to change (after all, all conditioned things are impermanent). The present time is a particularly dynamic moment to take stock of Buddhist attitudes toward religious others, as Buddhist identities are being renegotiated in unprecedented ways in our increasingly globalized age.
Is it true that Buddhists are tolerant of other religions? To what extent are Buddhists tolerant? Is nirvana held to be attainable through Buddhism alone? If so, through which Buddhist tradition? This volume approaches these questions and others from perspectives representing Theravādin and Tibetan traditions of Buddhism. The chapters herein bring together a spectrum of views that are not often found side-by-side in a single volume or in a meaningful dialogue with each other, needless to mention with other religions. This volume seeks to remedy this situation, and break new ground to enable further dialogue, understanding, and constructive encounters across Buddhist traditions and between other religious traditions and Buddhists.
