Anlin Ku Lecture Series: Robert Campany – Remembering Past Lives in Early Medieval China

Wednesday, October 15, 7:30 PM
Venue: Jonsson Performance Hall
Ticket: Free
Season: 2014-15

Professor of Asian Studies at Vanderbilt University Robert Campany writes about Chinese religious history and comparative religion. The recollection of past lives is a phenomenon that occurs in many cultures. This lecture examines stories from China ca. 300-650 A.D. in which ordinary people are represented as remembering or learning about their own past lives. What was thought to be at stake in such an experience; why were stories of such events recorded; and why are they so fascinating?
