Chindian Myth of Mulian Rescuing His Mother - On Indic Origins of the Yulanpen Sūtra: Debate and Discussion
The scriptural source for the Ghost Festival in East Asia is the Yulanpen Sūtra, which, however, is overwhelmingly considered apocryphal in modern scholarship. This book challenges this widely held belief by demonstrating that the sūtra is a Chinese creative translation rather than an indigenous Chinese composition.
