Eight Immortals

Recommended Posts

Hey all.

 

I've enjoyed reading the stories of the eight immortals for some time. here are some luinks to such stories. Does anyone have color pictures of the immortals? The only ones i can find are black and white.

thank you, haha. Shoulda tried that... have you found color images of each of the respective immortals? About taoist statues in the usa, or at least deity cards?

 

Just wondering. :)

 

Like yourself, I am a fan of the Eight Drunken Immortals. There was a tv show about the Eight Immoortals, several years ago. In Hong Kong, I believe. Any way you can find trailers about the show at Youtube. Hopefully some one will download the entire seris in the near future. I would give you the link, but my links never work. <_<

Alright, i will look it up sometime. I'm actually a fan of any taoist deities. I guess it comes from my tibetan buddhist years.

Hey Zhi!

 

If you ever get to any Chinatown, i am pretty sure there will be some stores that will sell most, if not all, the images and figurines that you are looking for. I am not sure where you are located, but i have been to Chinatown in London, and have seen them readily available there. So hurry on to your nearest Chinatown! The bigger your budget, the bigger will be the smile on the store-keeper's face.. :D (just kidding mate!)

 

It would be no surprise if one or two of the bigger ones might have an online catalog? Just a thought.

 

All the best.

Thanks very much.

 

So, about order of deities... the main highets deity is The Three Pure Ones, then the jade emperor, and then the 36 heavenly marshals?

You will have to ask someone who is more of a Communal Daoist than I. :D
