Beverley Foulks McGuire, Material Religion 10, no. 1, 2014, pp. 4–31

Description

The seminal English-language study of Ouyi Zhixu's game. McGuire dissects the tension between karmic determinism enforced by the board's rigid layout and the radical intervention of Pure Land grace encoded in the Amitābha-inscribed dice.
