The most influential sect in the Chinese mainland in the 1940s,
Yiguan Dao was largely destroyed in mainland China in 1953. Yiguan
Dao not only survived, however, but developed into the largest sect
in Taiwan, despite its suppression by the Kuomintang state. In
1987, through relentless efforts, the sect finally gained legal
status in Taiwan. Today, Yiguan Dao not only thrives in Chinese
societies, but has also become a world-wide religion which has
spread to more than sixty countries. This book, based on fieldwork
conducted in 2002 in Taiwan, is the first English-language
scholarly study exclusively focusing on Yiguan Dao. Lu includes a
history of Yiguan Dao in mainland China, but focuses on the sect's
evolution in Taiwan in the past few decades. Specifically, he
probes the operation of Yiguan Dao under suppression in the past
twenty years, and examines the relationship between Yiguan Dao and
its rivals in Taiwan's religious market. The Transformation of
Yiguan Dao in Taiwan develops the religious economy model by
extending it to Chinese societies.
