Following the fate of a small Daoist community temple, the
Wengongci in the town of Hanzhong, Shaanxi, the author examines the
structure of the temple, the monastics living in it, its
surrounding lay community, and the gods worshiped in its confines.
In a second part, she outlines the individual's path as a Daoist
monastic today, from the choice of the religious life through the
various forms of training to advanced ordinations and activities in
the society. Finally, she discusses the greater community of the
Dao in terms of pseudo-kinship structures and gender issues.
