Book Summary
About the Book: Celestial Masters
In 142 CE, the divine Lord Lao descended to Mount Cranecall (Sichuan province)
to establish a new covenant with humanity through a man named Zhang Ling, the
first Celestial Master. Facing an impending apocalypse caused by centuries of
sin, Zhang and his descendants forged a communal faith centering on a universal
priesthood, strict codes of conduct, and healing through the confession of sins;
this faith was based upon a new, bureaucratic relationship with incorruptible
supernatural administrators. By the fourth century, Celestial Master Daoism had
spread to all parts of China, and has since played a key role in Chinasreligious
and intellectual history.
