SUMMARY:When Buddha *Tejaprabha Came to Yunnan: Regional Characteristics an
 d His Place in the Local Pantheon
DESCRIPTION:\n	Liao Yang (Professor\, Institute of Ethnology & Anthropology
 \, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences\; Visiting Scholar\, Harvard-Yenchin
 g Institute)\n	Chair/discussant: Eugene Wang (Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Pro
 fessor of Asian Art\, Department of History of Art and Architecture\, Harv
 ard University)\n\n	Co-sponsored with the Fairbank Center for Chinese Stud
 ies\n\n\n	Due to deep-rooted astral worship\, Buddha *Tejaprabha 熾盛光
 佛 was deified in the Late T’ang\, and thereafter was introduced into L
 iao\, Xixia\, Uyghur\, and even Japan and Korea in virtue of his great pow
 er to eliminate all disasters and bring fortune to believers. *Tejaprabha
  also came to Yunnan at the turn of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. Related v
 isual remains have been discovered in Dali and Lijiang\, the local centers
  of the Bai and Naxi people\, respectively. Some regional characteristics 
 are perceptible\; for example\, *Tejaprabha might bear some Tibetan Buddhi
 st artistic features in Lijiang\, which was an important stop along the Te
 a-Horse Road. Generally speaking\, *Tejaprabha was taken as a Buddhist eq
 uivalent to Emperor Ziwei紫微\, the Taoist personification of the North 
 Star. Furthermore\, he was usually paired with the Medicine Buddha in Yunn
 an. A new triad was established on this structure\, with each member repre
 senting an element of Confucian virtues.
