Try Posted March 31, 2018 Ever heard of 太上老君真經? I found it by chance and I'd like to clarify its origin. Google search brought me nothing. The first sentence is 元始一天尊, 太上人尊稱,几度下凡間, 創設正 道宗 Sorry, I can't write the full text as I'm not proficient enough at Mandarin. I did that sentence by drawing using google translate The full text can be found here at youtube Maybe we can discuss about it here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taoist Texts Posted March 31, 2018 Well, bogus entails an intent to defraud and we do not know if that is the case. Giving the benefit of doubt, i would say that whoever publishes this text on the web, genuinely believes it to be original, meaning that it comes from Taishang himself. Perhaps in the form of a manuscript of allegedly ancient provenance, perhaps transmitted in a seance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuji_(planchette_writing) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Try, Tai Shang Lao Jun zhenjing is an official scripture used internally by Xiaoyao school. The school is based in Jakarta, Indonesia. Below is the translated scripture, in local language. https://siutao.com/siutao/kitab-suci/tao-taoism-tai-shang-lao-jun-zhen-jing/ You should be able to get the clarification by contacting the admin.
