老君传授《大洞真经》,这是由《黄庭经》发展而来,道教上清派的代表经典。上清派认为若
得《大洞真经》,不须金丹之道,读之万遍,便可成仙,因此历代传授不绝。此经被上清派奉
为诸经之首,全书 39 章,以歌诀形式叙述存神法。此经在唐宋以前影响很大,其后因内丹之
兴起,影响渐衰。
Sixty-third, "Impart the Scripture of Dadong"
oil on canvas, 120 × 90cm, August 23, 2016
Laojun imparted The True Scripture of Dadong, which was developed from The
Scripture of Huang Ting and was one of the representative classics of the Taoist
Shangqing school. The School of Shangqing believed that people didn’t need
to practice golden elixir but could achieve immortal by reading thousands of
times the True Scripture of Dadong. This Scripture was therefore delivered for
several generations and recommended as the top of all classics by the Shang Qing
School. It contained 39 chapters and described the method of preserving spirit
in the forms of chant. This scripture had great influence before the Tang and
Song dynasties, but its impact gradually declined because of the rising of inner
elixir.
