DAOIST SCRIPTURE RECITATION, INCANTATION, AND PERCUSSION

Introduction to Daoist Ceremony, specifically the recitation of the Morning Scripture and it’s musical accompaniment.

 

Zao Wan Gong Ke includes some of the major Daoist texts such as Qing Jing Jing (Scripture of Purity and Stillness), Ba Da Shen Zhou (Eight Spirit Mantras), and Xin Yin Miao Jing (Jade Emperors Heart Seal Classic).

​

The Qing Jing Jing is a foundational Scriptures of the Daoist lineages, similar to the Heart Sutra in Buddhism.  It is of profound significance as a guidance for spiritual cultivation. We will study the Scripture in Chinese and its meaning, and learn the recitation method to be able to chant it during the Morning Scriptures Ceremony.
