Dans la Chine de la dynastie Ming, le Supérieur du monastère bouddhique de San Pao (Trois Joyaux) doit se choisir un successeur. Parmi les hauts dignitaires invités pour l’assister dans cette lourde tâche, certains convoitent ardemment le parchemin inestimable abrité par le Temple : les soutras du Mahayana écrits par Xuan Zang. Mensonges, trahisons, tentatives de vols et meurtres accompagnent les cérémonies d’intronisation. Mais finalement seule la voie du Bouddha prévaudra.
