It follows the experiences and stories of Chinese and non-Chinese practitioners, unpacking why and how they were incorporated into the movement and its campaigns of contestation with the Chinese state. Through exploring relations between authority and media, asceticism and ethics, this dissertation reveals the embodied processes through which practitioners became disciples of Master Li and a movement was formed.DISCIPLES OF THE BUDDHA LAW
