The first attempt to situate the medieval Chinese hagiographies of Asvaghosa, Nagarjuna, and Aryadeva in the context of Chinese religion, culture, and society of the time. The book examines these sources not as windows into ancient Indian history but as valuable records of medieval Chinese efforts to define models of Buddhist sanctity.
