1 Saint Lao Tzu, also known as Grand Priest, is a moral god.
The founder of Taoism, also known as: Laozi, Taishang Laozi, and Moral Heavenly Zun. The mount is a green cow. In the solemn Sanqing Hall of Taoism, three majestic gods are usually enshrined, which is the highest god of Taoism-"the founder of Sanqing". Sanqing, standing at the entrance of Sanqing Hall, is a symbol of the trinity theory of Taoist philosophy, namely, the statue of Jade Qing Yuan Stone Buddha in the middle of the hall, the statue of Lingbao Buddha in the upper right, and the statue of Taiqing moral Buddha (Tai Shang Lao Jun) on the left. Chapter 42 of the Tao Te Ching says: "The Tao gives birth to one, two, three and all things. Everything is negative and positive, and it is harmonious. " From nameless avenue to chaotic vitality, from vitality to yin and yang, yin and yang combine to create everything. Chapter 14 also says: "If you don't look at the name, you are called a foreigner; If you listen, you will call it hope; If you don't fight, it's called micro. These three can't be blamed, so they are mixed into one. " I think one is three and three is one. ""divided into three, this is always one. "Later, Taoism derived three gods. Therefore, the "Sanqing" god is the most respected in the Taoist immortal system. In the seventh volume of Daoism, Taizhenke was quoted as saying: "Rhoda gave birth to the third day of Xuanyuan, and turned it into a three-clear heaven: a clear sky in Wan Li, from the beginning; The next day, Yu Yu went to the Qing Dynasty. The third is that the sky is too clear and the atmosphere is mysterious. Since then, three kinds of qi have been born respectively. "According to Taoist books such as" Seven Maps of Clouds "and" The Way of Fa Hui Yuan ",the Qing Dynasty is clear, and the mixed points are too empty. Its qi begins to be green, the true Tao rises to the sacred land, and Tianbao Zun (Yuan Shen) governs; Yu Yu went to heaven to enter the state, and his qi was yellow, and the fairy road rose to the true state, and Lingbao Zun ruled it; The sky is too clear and the gas is white; Human nature rises to a fairyland, and a moral paradise lives in it. Wen said: "These four kinds of people and heaven are above the three realms, so it is better to have three realms between them. Above Sanqing is Daluotian, where the Buddha lived and gave lectures in the Yuan Dynasty. Tianbaojun [Yuan Shi Tian Zun] ruled the Jade Qing realm, and the sky was high and the clouds were light. Lingbaojun [Lingbaotianzun] governs the upper bound, that is, Yuyutianye, and Shenbaozun (moral Tianzun) governs the upper bound, that is, the upper bound. " (Volume III of Seven-year Cloud, The Beginning of Daoism) According to the cloud "Reading the Classics" in Collection of Notes and Interpretation of Truth, "Sanqing lived in the holy land of Jade Qing, and the Yuan Dynasty began to live there; Qing sacred land, Daojun lived there; Taiqing fairyland, where the old man lives. "At the same time, Taoism's worship of Sanqing gods also embodies the deification of Taoism's" Three Caves True Classics ". "The Seven Chapters of Clouds", volume six or three holes, says: "On the gate, those who have three holes in the cloud are called holes. Xuan Tong is great. There are three systems, so there are three holes in the cloud. The first hole is real, the second hole is mysterious, and the third hole is god. It is the mysterious purpose of the three scenes, and it is also the spiritual chapter of the eight major. "According to" Wei Qing's Divine Position in Wei Qing Road and Law Hub ",Volume I records that the Road and Law will be Yuan; At the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, the sage represented the eastern part of Miao Dao, assisted Taixuan and spread Wei Qing School. Wei Qing Xuanzu hired Dadaojun in Qingling Fuyu, representing Dong Xuanjing's department, supplemented by Taiping, and inheriting Lingbao School; Xuanlaojun, the ancestor of the Five Spirits of Taiqing Morality, represents Dong's nervous system, supplemented by Taiqing, and the way of "one alliance and one prestige" runs through the three caves, spreading morality and orthodoxy.
Sheng Yuan Shi Tian Zun,
According to Taoist records, the earliest name of "Yuan Shi" appeared in Jin's Book in Pillow. According to records, before chaos opened, there was an essence of heaven and earth, named "the king of the Yuan Dynasty", swimming in it. After the second ceremony, the king of the Yuan Dynasty lived on the heavenly heart, inhaled the weather and drank underground spring water. After several disasters, she became intimate with the jade girl in Taiyuan, and gave birth to the emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, the birthplace of the emperor and the Yellow Emperor. Later, she was born in Xihe, and Shennong was also of Miao descent. He also said: "The capital of Du Xuan is the Seven Treasures in the Jade Well, with three palaces, namely the Upper Palace, the Middle Palace and the Lower Palace. The real Pangu, the king of the Yuan Dynasty and his wife, the Virgin Mary, visited this palace. " At this time, there is only the name of the king of the Yuan Dynasty. It was not until the Southern Dynasties that Liang Tao Hongjing's "True Spirit Industry Map" began to have the title of "Yuan God". In the first preface of the book, the middle god is "coming to power as a virtual emperor and a Taoist monarch", which should be called "the Buddha of the Yuan Dynasty", mainly called "the Buddha of the Yu Jing Qing Dynasty". But there is also a "Yuan God" in the book, which is listed as the four gods in the middle position and the four gods in the left position. The Annals of Sui Shu began to endow the Buddha with the characteristics of a deity, calling him "born before Taiyuan". It is believed that "the Buddha's body is immortal, and every time he opens the world, he is given a secret passage, which is called robbery." However, it has not been robbed once, so there are Yan Kang, Chi Ming, Han Long and Huang Kai, which are their titles. Their problems are four billion years apart, and they are all top-grade immortals, including the old gentleman on the throne, the old gentleman on the throne, the true emperor, the five emperors and the immortal officials. "The Taoist priests in the Sui Dynasty named the Buddha' Le Jing Xin'. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the story of Pangu's true position in ancient myths and legends was put forward. Explain that Taoist believers believed in Buddhism in the early Yuan Dynasty.
In the solemn Sanqing Hall of Taoism, three majestic gods are usually enshrined, which is the highest god of Taoism-"the founder of Sanqing". Standing at the entrance of Sanqing Temple, Sanqing is a symbol of the "Trinity" theory of Taoist philosophy, that is, the statue of Jade Qing Yuan Shi Tian Zun is in the center of the temple, the statue of Lingbao Tian Zun on the right, and the statue of Taiqing De Tian Zun is on the left. Chapter 42 of the Tao Te Ching says: "The Tao gives birth to one, two, three and all things. Everything is negative and positive, and it is harmonious. " From nameless avenue to chaotic vitality, from vitality to yin and yang, yin and yang combine to create everything. Chapter 14 also says: "If you don't look at the name, you are called a foreigner; If you listen, you will call it hope; If you don't fight, it's called micro.

Therefore, the "Sanqing" god is the most respected in the Taoist immortal system. The seventh volume of Taoist Shu Shu quoted Tai Zhenke as saying: "Rhoda gave birth to Xuanyuan Sanqi and turned it into Sanqing Tiandao: it only took a clear sky in Wan Li one day to become a success; The next day, Yu Yu went to the Qing Dynasty. The third is that the sky is too clear and the atmosphere is mysterious. Since then, three kinds of qi have been born respectively. "According to Taoist books such as" Seven Maps of Clouds "and" The Way of Fa Hui Yuan ",the Qing people are clear, and the mixed points are too empty. Their qi begins to be green, the true Tao rises to the sacred land, and Tianbao Zun (Yuan Shen) governs; Yu Yu entered the Qing Dynasty in the rest of the day, and his qi was yellow, and Xianlu rose to the true state, and Lingbao respected it; The sky is too clear and the gas is white; Humanity rose to a fairyland, where Taoism lived. Wen said: "These four kinds of people and heaven are above the three realms, so it is better to have three realms between them. Above Sanqing is Daluotian, where the Buddha lived and gave lectures in the Yuan Dynasty. Tianbao Junzhi is in the realm of jade Qing, and the sky is high and the clouds are light. Lingbaojun aims at the Qing Dynasty, that is, fish and rain are wild, and Shenbaozun (moral Tianzun) is in the Qing Dynasty, that is, holding Amano. " (Volume III of Seven-year Cloud, The Beginning of Daoism) According to the cloud "Reading the Classics" in Collection of Notes and Interpretation of Truth, "Sanqing lived in the holy land of Jade Qing, and the Yuan Dynasty began to live there; Qing sacred land, Daojun lived there; Taiqing fairyland, where the old man lives. "At the same time, Taoism's worship of Sanqing gods also embodies the deification of Taoism's" Three Caves True Classics ". "The Seven Chapters of Clouds", volume six or three holes, says: "On the gate, those who have three holes in the cloud are called holes. Xuan Tong is great. There are three systems, so there are three holes in the cloud. The first hole is real, the second hole is mysterious, and the third hole is god. It is the mysterious purpose of the three scenes, and it is also the spiritual chapter of the eight major. "According to" Wei Qing's Divine Position in Wei Qing Road and Law Hub ",Volume I records that the Road and Law will be Yuan; At the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, the sage represented the eastern part of Miao Dao, assisted Taixuan and spread Wei Qing School.

There is a historical process in the image of respecting God in Sanqing. During the reign of Emperor Shundi of Han Dynasty (126-144), Hemingshan and Zhang Daoling (now Dayi County, Sichuan Province) founded Wudou Mi Dao, honoring "the old gentleman on the throne" as the highest god. Later, Kou Qian-zhi reformed the Heavenly Teacher's Way, and also regarded "Tai Shang Lao Jun" as the earliest supreme god, but the name "Moral Heavenly Zun" has appeared. As far as we can see, the name of "Sanqing" first appeared in Tao Hongjing's "True Spiritual Industry Map" written in Nanliang. The book arranges the order of immortals, which is divided into seven levels, and each level has a median value. On the first middle position, on the theory of virtual emperor Tao Jun, the name should be Yuan Shi Tian Zun. Secondly, I went to Shengtai, Gao Qing and Huangyuan Avenue, Chen Yu. Third place, Taiji Jinmen Emperor, surnamed Li, (Renchen teaches Taiping Lord). Fourth, Taiqing is better than the old gentleman. Your majesty is on the supreme road, sir. Among them, the name of Shangqing Taiqing was obviously put forward, but the order of the names of Sanqing has not yet been determined. The third place is "Golden Valve Emperor" and Taishang Laojun is in the fourth place. Since then, the name of "Sanqing" has gradually changed and developed, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that it became a definite theory. Volume 7 of the Book of Taoist Collection, Taiping Department and Three-point Beads Capsule quoted the old gentleman as saying: "This is the realm of Jade Qing, and it has been 35 days since the early Yuan Dynasty. This is the upper bound, the road is too high (Lingbao Tianzun), more than 34 days. Too clear and too eye-catching, it is too superior to the old throne, more than 33. " So "Sanqing" became the highest god of Taoism.
Patriarch of Saint Tian Tong.
His most enlightened place is to carry out the principle of "teaching without class", so he got the initial resentment, and then joined hands with Laozi to get in touch with western religions and plot against the sky. Master Tian Tong's disciples are: Zhao Gongming, Taoist Duobao, Notre Dame Golden, Notre Dame Tortoise, Long-eared Fairy, Dark Cloud Fairy, Golden Fairy, Tooth Fairy, Notre Dame Fire Fairy and so on. To explain Jin Xian's murder, God needs God to drive him, so the three religions and three merchants set up a list of gods to explain the cooperation between Qi and Xin, and another Buddha secretly helped the Western Zhou Dynasty attack the Shang Dynasty supported by interception, explaining Twelve Jinxian's wily, so all losers are not important. Although the interception is numerous and powerful, I don't know the number of days and the strategy. On the third day, when Guang arrived in Biyou, he was framed by the disciple of the interceptor and said some rude words, which angered the leader. He thought he was aware of the plot to explain religion, so he came down to earth and stopped the primitive Buddha and others with the fairy array and the Wanxian array. Before the Fairy Array, he made a six-soul coffin in an attempt to hurt the lives of Jiang Ziya and King Wu, and was led by the eldest brother, Tailaojun, the deity of the second brother, and two leaders of western religions. At this point, the gods successfully sealed.
Among the gods, the leader of Tianshi fought a war and was in charge of the array of immortals and swords. Later, the old man said that it took four people of their strength level to break the array. After the establishment of the Immortal Array, the comprehensive combat effectiveness should be the first person below Hong Jun, the sword is a green ping sword, and the mount is a real cow. There are four magic weapons to kill immortals: immortal sword, immortal sword, immortal sword and immortal sword. Have the ability to stand on fire, water and wind and reopen the world.
4 St. Zhun causeway people
I feel that Jin Xian is second to none. Bodhi, the wonderful ancestor of the west;
If you don't die or live three or three lines, you will be full of goodwill.
Emptiness changes with it, just like nature;
The same fate as heaven, solemnity, exorcist, and bright heart have been robbed.
This is the description of Taoist Zhunti in the Romance of the Gods, which is completely consistent with the description of Shizun Bodhisattva, the founder of the Monkey King in The Journey to the West.
The quasi-Taoist in the Romance of Gods is an enlightened person. He has visited the eastern soil of Duhua many times and has a deep understanding of Taoism in the East. He is the second leader of western religions. I know Buddhist culture like the back of my hand Later, he became the Bodhi founder in The Journey to the West, and his name was Buddha. Known as Bodhi, he is a Taoist. It can be seen that he has a deep relationship with western Buddhism. One teaches in the western paradise, and the other lives in seclusion in Niuhezhou to teach his disciples. There are indications that the founder of Bodhi is the incarnation of Zhunti Taoist. It was only later that western religions were merged into Buddhism, and the Taoist priest was renamed Amitabha, the ancestor of Buddhism, and was allowed to retire to the mountains and cultivate his morality.
Now it is basically certain that Bodhi is one of the incarnations of Zhunti Taoist and the younger brother of Amitabha. These two men were in charge of western religions (Mahayana Buddhism). The founder of Bodhi lived in seclusion in the forest and named this mountain "Lingtai Square Inch Mountain", as opposed to "Tianzhu Lingshan". Since then, no one knows his residence except the residents in the mountains. Daochang Duobao was turned into a Buddha by Lao Tzu, and I don't know where he is. I didn't even know Xi Niuhezhou still existed. The Tathagata once commented on Xiniuhezhou: "I, Xiniuhezhou, don't be greedy and don't kill, raise my spirit. Although there is no truth, everyone will live a long life "(see the eighth journey to the west). It can be seen that Tathagata, who is in the same place as Xi Niu, does not know the existence of Bodhi Zu Bodhi.
The poem number of Bodhi's founder is: "I feel that Jin Xian is spotless, and the west is the wonderful ancestor of Bodhi. If you don't die or live three or three lines, you will be full of goodwill. Emptiness changes with it, just like nature. Live a solemn life with the sky and rob the bright heart of the exorcist. " This is basically consistent with the poem number of Zhunti Taoist, which proves that Bodhi is one of the incarnations of Zhunti Taoist.
Section 5 Access Guide
In the Romance of Gods, the Taoist priest is the leader of western religions and the brother of the Taoist priest allowed by the second leader of the west. Its prototype is "Amitabha Buddha", the founder of Mahayana Buddhism, and Amitabha Buddha is regarded as the "receiving quotation" of Sakyamuni Tathagata in Mahayana Buddhism, which is the origin of the word "receiving quotation". Living in the western paradise. The man is six feet tall, with a golden body and a yellow face. I haven't left a quiet place for many years. In the Romance of Gods, he was repeatedly promised by his disciples to overcome the obstacles on the road to Gods. The third relic won the immortal gate and broke through the immortal array with Laozi and Yuanshi. Later, he broke the Wanxian Array with the disciples of Taishang Laojun (Laozi), Fifty Heavenly Zuns, Taoist Deng and others, and collected all the disciples to intercept the Heavenly King in Wanxian Array and cross to the Western Heaven.
