Home›Taoist Scriptures›TraditionBrowse ByTraditionThis page groups scripture texts by the tradition that treats them as central. Wikipedia notes that in some non-theistic religions "such as some Indian religions they are considered to be the central tenets of their eternal Dharma," a different basis for sacredness than divine revelation. Browsing by tradition lets a visitor read every text central to one religion together.FactsTraditionSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedScriptures & Texts 1TraditionFilter Results4 entriesDefining Doctrinal PositionAllAuthority through registers, talismans and liturgy (1)Neidan: the refinement of body and spirit as the path (1)Neidan: the refinement of body and spirit as the path (1)Revealed scriptures and inner visualisation (1)GovernanceAllAuthority through monastic ordination lineage and its seats (2)No central authority (1)Priestly office passing by descent (1)Liturgical LanguageAllClassical Chinese (read in Sino-Japanese where used in Japan) (4)Membership Over TimeAllno count isolating this lineage exists (1)OrdinationAllCelibacy required of the ordained (1)Married clergy permitted (1)Office passes by descent (1)Open to women and men (1)Ordination is into a monastic order, not to a congregation (2)Origin Period End YearAll370 (1)1170 (1)1300 (1)Origin Period Start YearAll142 (1)364 (1)1167 (1)1200 (1)Status TodayAllHistorical; not practised continuously (1)Living tradition, practised today (4)Show ResultsBrowseCompareDragon GateTradition3 entriesQuanzhen (Complete Reality)Tradition3 entriesShangqing (Highest Clarity)Tradition3 entriesZhengyi (Orthodox Unity)Tradition3 entriesSources1.
