General definition (in Buddhism)
Source: eScholarship: Meditation, Repentance, and Visionary Experience in Early Medieval Chinese BuddhismThe notion of the Buddha’s “emanation” (ying 影) is best known in medieval Chinese Buddhist sources in connection with what is often translated as the “cave of the Buddha’s shadow” (佛影窟), a pilgrimage site in the mountains around Nagarahāra (modern Jalalabad, Afghanistan) where the Buddha supposedly left his “shadow” on the wall of a cave, said to appear to devotees on certain occasions. First mentioned in Kumārajīva’s translation of the Treatise on Great Wisdom, the “cave of the Buddha’s shadow” was visited by numerous Chinese Buddhist pilgrims to India, and Huiyuan of Mt. Lu even supposedly constructed a replica of this cave, though what precisely this was is not clear (Rhie 2002, 113–137; Murata 2009). Although in this context the word ying 影 has usually been translated as “shadow,” this does not seem to accurately convey the sense. While a full treatment of the term and its significance requires more study, we may note a few points here.
