Criminalized Abnormality, Moral Etiology, and Redemptive Suffering in the Secondary Strata of the Taiping jing
Résumé
This study of Chinese beliefs regarding life after death, Taoist bureaucratic views of the unseen world, and the relationship between the religious and medical spheres, as seen in chapters 110-112 and 114 of the "Great Peace Scripture" (Taiping jing), suggests that these parts of the text form a consistent piece, which seems reminiscent of some of the features of the earliest Taoist communities towards the end of the Later Han dynasty (A.D. 25-220).
