摘要Until recently, the role and significance played by parasutraic narratives in the formation and maintenance of scriptural cults have largely been overlooked. These narratives offer valuable insights into the cultic repertoire, the set of defining elements that distinguish one scriptural cult from another. One element that characterises the Lotus Sūtra cult is the trope of devotees attaining rebirth in various afterlife abodes, as depicted in the narratives. While the idea of rebirth in Tuṣita, Trāyastriṃśa, and the Western Pure Land could be found in the Lotus Sūtra, the association between the scripture and these realms as afterlife abode is almost indiscernible in pre-Tang monastic biographical collections, such as the Gaoseng zhuan and Biqiuni zhuan. By the early Tang, the association is noticeable, as evidenced in the early Tang biographical collection, Xu Gaoseng zhuan. The biographies of the Tiantai patriarchs, known for their esteem of the Lotus Sūtra, are the most critical for examining the trope of afterlife abodes. The ambivalence surrounding their afterlife destinations, accentuated by intriguing details about their deaths in their biographies, could have highlighted the various afterlife abodes open to Lotus Sūtra practitioners, which the cult adapted to accommodate a growing and diverse community of followers.
