Description
In this article LaMacchia re-tells a group of nuns' oral account of Negi Lama's death and explores their story's meaning in the contexts of the literary genre of sacred biography and ideas about death in Buddhism. She asks, "What is the role of the after-death miracles in their accounts?" Unusually, the creators of sacred biography here are nuns, and they have embedded the lama's story in their own life stories. LaMacchia begins with the lama's relation to nuns; then defines the contexts; quotes excerpts from their translated accounts; and concludes.
