Lingbao School

The Lingbao School is a religious and philosophical tradition within Daoism, emerging in China during the late Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). It integrates elements of folk beliefs, cosmic theories, and texts emphasizing meditation, rituals, and alchemy. Lingbao teaches the pursuit of immortality and spiritual enlightenment, often through the veneration of deities and the practice of rituals that harness cosmic energy. It values a text called the "Lingbao Scriptures," which outlines its doctrines and practices. Overall, it represents a rich blend of Daoism, ancient Chinese culture, and the spiritual quest for harmony with the universe.
