In an attempt to reconstruct an elusive aspect of the medieval Chinese imagination, The Eminent Monk examines biographies of Chinese Buddhist monks, from the uncompromising ascetic to the unfathomable wonder-worker.
While analyzing images of the monk in medieval China, the author addresses some questions encountered along the way: What are we to make of accounts in “eminent monk” collections of deviant monks who violate monastic precepts? Who wrote biographies of monks and who read them? How did different segments of Chinese society contend for the image of the monk and which image prevailed?
By placing biographies of monks in the context of Chinese political and religious rhetoric, The Eminent Monk explores both the role of Buddhist literature in Chinese history and the monastic imagination that inspired this literature.
关于“酒肉和尚”与政治预言的那一部分,分析非常精当。
评分一个文本研究的很好范例,从苦行、秘术、学术三个不同主题而非文献类别作为切入点来讨论。

评分关于“酒肉和尚”与政治预言的那一部分,分析非常精当。
评分可能因为作者是外国人,所以用了很多篇幅描写一些对于中国人来说理所当然的事情。全书分为三章,前两章可以看出作者明显带有偏见性的行文措辞,尤其对于几位“焚身”以供佛的僧人的描述,可以看出作者本身就是极不赞成的。第三章谈到“Scholarship”明显可以看出作者的写作热忱得到了极大提升。纵观全书,有非常可以说独到的见解,也有很多太臆断的揣测,比如在提及道温在僧传中的悲惨结局时作者是打抱不平的,认为这是一种学术正确,而命名道温没有"presumption of improper motivations behind his teachings",但是历史上对于道温记述仅见于此,作者有从何断定呢?至于认为关于“神通”的记述是虚妄,却又热衷于引用僧传中的其他信息的做法有点违和,不过学术界大都这么做。
