Photographs of eminent monks and nuns are regularly displayed and enshrined in temples and homes throughout the Chinese Buddhist world.

Drawing on recent scholarship on Buddhist relics, the present article investigates the production of relic-like objects related to the bodies of eminent Buddhist monks and their miraculous quality in the form of photographs.
