Lingbao School
The Lingbao School is a significant tradition within Taoism, focusing on the integration of spiritual practices and philosophical teachings. It emerged during the late Han Dynasty and became prominent in the Tang Dynasty. The school emphasizes the importance of inner alchemy, meditation, and the pursuit of immortality through self-cultivation.
Lingbao teachings are often associated with the Lingbao Jing, a foundational text that outlines its doctrines and rituals. The school promotes the idea of harmonizing with the cosmos and achieving enlightenment through a deep understanding of the Tao. Its practices have influenced various aspects of Chinese culture, including art, literature, and religious rituals.
