To conceive of Chinese Buddhist ritual as an eternal, environmental, non-human activity is to propose a paradox. After all, Buddhist liturgies generally take the form of temporary feasts offered to spirits by human officiants within the confines of defined ritual arenas. However, a number of texts, images, and sites created in Song-dynasty China suggest that premodern worshippers developed remarkably creative means of conceptualizing time, space, and agency in order to expand the efficacy of ritual. Shizhuanshan in Dazu provides a particularly good example of this. This essay uses Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to consider how Shizhuanshan's carved images, texts, and landscape work together to exert agency and to extend the efficacy of ritual eternally.
