So does this mean that some Taoist scriptures have been materialized by God just like the scriptures from Abrahamic religions and others before them? I remember seandenty said the same thing about Da Mo meditating in cave then coming out with materialized Taoist scriptures.

Yeah, think so?

Tradition of/in most "old"religions,

though not always something that was "written" ?

But still something that is the same substance "essence"

as the "god/s" or that "primordial energy"

Sorry, i don't have any references about such things to post though?

Wonder if someone else does?

Maybe someone on the bum's does? Don't know.

 

Thank you for posting that YMWong, very interesting.

Hard for this tired mind to read,

had a hard time with the writing style : )

Seems like it was a lot of little bits of stuff,

would have liked them to go into more details

on each part or thing that they spoke about?

...Always do though! LOL, oh well.

But then it would have been a book you where posting!

Would be far To long

 

Have enjoyed your posts thank you!

 

Do you yourself have any comments about this one?

What was it that caught your interest?

 

Thanks again!

Nothing in particular, just posting info that some might find interesting.

Given that the importance of Scriptures has been debated here before and that many seemed to view hands-on transmission as the ONLY thing necessary, I thought this article might give some background as to why - in Daoism - Scriptures are considered equally necessary, together with Dao and (a) Master.

 

Most of what is written in this article, in my opinion, is not only scholarly well researched but it is also accurate from the point of view of the Tradition
