Résumé anglais Between heaven and earth : Divine mediation among the T'aï What changes has the conversion to Buddhism of peoples belonging to the T'ai language group brought about in cosmology and messianic conceptions and, too, in the religious observances and beliefs associated with land divinities ? The sky, toward which most religious practices were turned before Indianization, has yielded importance in the Buddhist context to the earth and underworld. Interestingly, this analysis sheds light on the fusion, substitution and reciprocal adaptation between certain pre-Buddhist entities and other entities introduced locally by Buddhism.
