Abstract
Description
Poster announcing a lecture by Robert Campany, Professor of Asian Studies at Vanderbilt University. Professor Campany's professional interests are Chinese religious history and comparative religion. The lecture examined stories from China from around 300-650 C.E. in which ordinary people are represented as remembering or learning about their own past lives. The goal of the lecture was to understand what was thought to have been at stake in such experiences; why were these types of stories recorded; and why are they so fascinating?
