Lingbao Chuan

Lingbao Chuan, or the Doctrine of Sacred Treasure, is a major ancient Chinese religious tradition that blends Daoism, Buddhism, and folk beliefs. Originating around the 4th century CE, it emphasizes spiritual purification, ritual practices, and the pursuit of immortality or enlightenment. Central to Lingbao teachings are sacred texts, rituals, and moral principles aimed at healing, protection, and achieving harmony between humans and the divine. Its influence extended through Chinese religious history, shaping practices and doctrines within Daoist traditions and incorporating elements from Buddhist philosophy.
