Product Description
The scriptural source for the Ghost Festival in East Asia is the Yulanpen Sutra, which, however, is overwhelmingly considered apocryphal in modern scholarship. This book challenges this widely held belief by demonstrating that the sutra is a Chinese creative translation rather than an indigenous Chinese composition.
