- Abstract:
- Drawing from the worldview and beliefs expressed in the early medieval Great Peace Scripture (Taiping jing 太平經), the paper surveys such themes as bureaucratic representations of the superhuman realm, the ceaseless divine surveillance of human beings, the impact of human misconduct on both individual lifespan duration and cosmic equilibrium, the penal fate of the dead underground, and prospects of redemption.
