Recipes for Immortality —— Healing, Religion, and Community in South India

----- 不朽的秘方：南印度的医药、宗教信仰与团体

ISBN: 9780195335231 出版年：2009 页码：273 Weiss, Richard S Oxford University Press

In this book, Weiss seeks to illuminate the present success of traditional doctors by examining the ways that siddha practitioners in Tamil South India have won the trust and patronage of patients. They do this, he shows, by offering affiliation to a timeless and pure community, the fantasy of a Tamil utopia, and even the prospect of immortality.
