THE COMPLETE LINGBAO COLLECTION (7 BOOKS)
The Complete Lingbao Collection unites seven volumes of rare Daoist texts, offering the most comprehensive English presentation of the Lingbao Yujian (Jade Mirror of Numinous Treasure) and the Lingbao Wuliang Duren Shangjing Dafa (Great Laws and Highest Teachings). Together, these works reveal the inner and outer mysteries of the Lingbao Daoist tradition, a lineage where ritual magic, celestial invocation, and inner alchemy converge.
The Jade Mirror of Lingbao Daoist Magic (3 volumes) presents the full 43-volume classic from the Southern Song era, filled with magical invocations, celestial petitions, talisman creation, altar banners, star-stepping methods, and transformative rites. Ritual staffs, seals, food-transformation practices, and the profound Yin-Yang, Water, Fire, and Illumination ceremonies reflect the synthesis of Shangqing Daoism and Mahayana Buddhist wisdom transmitted by Ge Chaofu.
The Lingbao Great Laws and Highest Teachings (4 volumes) covers the entire 72-volume sacred corpus, beginning with talismanic arts, confession rituals, celestial petitions, and methods for exorcism, before advancing into weather magic, spirit summoning, ritual transformation, corpse revivification, and the freeing of lost souls. Further chapters detail inner visualizations, dantian practices, star patterns, and the esoteric powers of divine generals. The final volume includes a glossary clarifying ancient Lingbao symbology and terminology.
Taken together, this seven-book collection forms a complete Lingbao curriculum, bridging scholarly preservation with practical instruction. It provides students, practitioners, and researchers with a rare doorway into the esoteric ritual systems of Daoism, safeguarding teachings once passed only from master to disciple while making them accessible for modern study of the Way.
