.Lhe
bodhisattva Avalokitesvara was
a handsome prince when he entered
China. As Guanyin, the bodhisattva
was venerated from the eleventh cen¬
tury onward in the shape of a beautiful
woman who became a universal sav¬
ior. Throughout the last millennium,
the female Guanyin has enjoyed wide
and fervid veneration throughout East
Asia and has appeared as a major
character in literature and legend.
In one tale, Guanyin (as the princess
Miaoshan) returns from the dead after
being executed by the king, her father,
for refusing to marry. The most popu¬
lar version of this legend is The Precious
Scroll of Incense Mountain (Xiangshan
bao
juan), a long narrative in prose
and verse and a work of considerable
literary merit. It emphasizes the con¬
flict between father and daughter, in
the course of which all conventional
arguments against a religious lifestyle
are paraded and rebutted. A lengthy
description of Guanyin s visit to the
underworld, which focuses on the con¬
flict between grace and justice, is also
included.
Personal Salvation and Filial Piety of¬
fers a complete and fully annotated
translation of The Precious Scroll of
Incense Mountain, based on a nine¬
teenth-century edition. The translation
is preceded by a substantial introduc¬
tion that discusses the origin of the
text and the genre to which it be¬
longs and highlights the similarities
and differences between the scroll and
female saints lives from medieval Eu¬
rope. There follows a translation of
the much-shorter The Precious Scroll
of Good-in-Talent and Dragon Girl,
which provides a humorous account
of how Guanyin acquired the three
acolytes
—
Sudhana,
Nagãkanyã,
and a
white parrot
—
who are often shown
surrounding her in popular prints.
As the first English-language transla¬
tion of major precious scrolls, Per¬
sonal Salvation and Filial Piety will ap¬
peal to a wide range of readers
—
from
scholars of Chinese literature to stu¬
dents of Buddhism. Beyond the field
of East Asian studies, it will interest
specialists in comparative religion and
literature and feminist theologians.
Because of its lively and moving nar¬
ratives, the text is suitable for courses
on popular Buddhist religiosity (par¬
ticularly female religiosity) in Chinese
societv.

ture at Harvard University.
