Taoist culture: Who is the Supreme Lord? (Figure)

道教文化：太上老君是谁？（图）

Tai Shanglaojun, the leader of Taoism, is the moral god of Sanqing, and the incarnation of the world is Laozi.

-----Zhuge Changqing

Taoist culture, extensive and profound, is an important part of Chinese culture.

Taoist culture has always influenced the life of Chinese people.

Zhuge Changqing believes that the truth of people's practice of the Tao Te Ching and the Book of Changes in their lives is not known to us.

Taoist culture includes many great principles such as "cultivating one's moral integrity and establishing one's life, governing the country and ensuring the stability of the country, coming out of the world and entering the world, and harmonious life".

When you think about life, you will find that many words come from Taoism.

Let's take a brief look at these examples, such as:

"Morality, good as water, walking on thin ice, enduring forever, following the nature of the Tao, being skillful as a fool, governing the country with integrity, using strange weapons, and taking a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", etc., are derived from the Tao Te Ching.

"Constantly striving for self-improvement, carrying things with great virtue, being a modest gentleman, combining with the sun and the moon, being gay and civilized, peaceful, upright and bright, being optimistic about life, reforming the past and promoting the new, and preventing the gradual changes" and so on, are derived from the Book of Changes.

Taoism worships the Supreme Lord as the leader, just as Buddhism worships Sakyamuni Buddha as the Buddha.

1、 Tai Shanglaojun is one of the "Sanqing", the "moral god".

When you enter the Taoist temple, you will generally see the "Sanqing Hall",

In the middle of the three Qing Dynasty is the Jade Qing Yuan Shi Tianzun, on the right is the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and on the left is the Taiqing Moral Tianzun.

The statue of Tai Shanglao Jun (the Supreme Master of Morality) is on the left, and usually holds the eight trigrams and a fan.

Tai Shanglaojun is the leader of Taoism and the third of Sanqing.

Tai Shang Lao Jun is an abbreviation, and its full name is: "One Qi, Three Qing Dynasty, Tai Qing Dynasty, Fire, Red Celestial Immortal ascends the realm of Tai Qing Dynasty, and the mysterious Qi becomes the god of the day, the treasure of the king, the moral god of heaven, and the mixed Yuan God", which is called "Lao Jun" for short.

It is also known as "Moral Heavenly Respect", "Hunyuan Laojun", "Born Heavenly Respect", "Great Emperor of the Qing Dynasty", etc.

2、 "Tao Te Ching" Lao Tzu is the incarnation of Tai Shang Lao Jun

Laozi, who wrote the Tao Te Ching in the world, was born in Kuxian County of the State of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period.

He came to the world as the incarnation of the Supreme Lord and served as the guardian of the Tibetan history of the Zhou Dynasty.

Lao Tzu is the founder of Taoism.

Confucius once went to ask questions and wrote more than 5000 words of the Tao Te Ching.

It is said that Laojun lives in the Holy Land of Taiqing. In Journey to the West, Laojun lived in "Li Hentian Dou Pi Gong"; In the list of deities, it is the "Eight Scenes Palace of the Xuandu Cave in the Big Luo".

Taoism believes that Laozi, the Taoist philosopher, is the incarnation of Laojun, and has countless benefits. Because he handed down the Taoist classic "Tao Te Ching", he is called the "God of Morality", and is also regarded as the founder of Taoism.

Many of the founders of Taoism claim to have been inspired and taught by the old king, such as Zhang Daoling in the Han Dynasty and Kou Qianzhi in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The royal family of the Tang Dynasty even worshipped Laojun as its ancestor.

3、 The Tao Te Ching contains the truth of the universe and life.

Zhuge Changqing believes that by studying the wisdom of Tao Te Ching carefully, you can work and live happily.

Taoism affects people's lives.

Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period was the greatest thinker and philosopher in ancient China.

At the time of leaving the customs, Laozi wrote down the "Tao Te Ching", which is civilized for all ages, according to the request of "Yin Xi" in the customs order.

The Tao Te Ching, also known as the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu, Five Thousand Words, and Lao Tzu's Five Thousand Essays, is a work of ancient China before the separation of scholars in the pre-Qin period. It was widely admired by scholars at that time and is an important source of Taoist philosophy.

The Tao Te Ching is divided into two parts. The first part of the original text, the Tao Te Ching, and the second part, the Tao Te Ching, are not divided into chapters. Later, it is changed into Chapter 37 of the Tao Te Ching, and Chapter 38 is followed by the Tao Te Ching, which is divided into 81 chapters.

Tao Te Ching is the first complete philosophical work in Chinese history.

The Tao Te Ching is often classified as Taoist doctrine. In fact, philosophical Taoism and religious Taoism cannot be confused, but the Tao Te Ching, as one of the important components of the basic doctrines of Taoism, is regarded as an important classic by Taoism, and its author Laozi is also regarded by Taoism as the embodiment of one of the supreme Sanqing deities, the moral deity, also known as Tai Shanglaojun, so it should be said that Taoism absorbed Taoist thought, which improved Taoism. At the same time, the philosophy mentioned above does not cover the whole picture of the Tao Te Ching (cultivating one's moral integrity, establishing one's life, governing the country and country, and entering the world).

Taoism is regarded as one of the main classics (Taoism has three wonderful books, the Tao Te Ching, the South China Classic and the Book of Changes). The Tao Te Ching was originally a representative work of Taoism in the pre-Qin period. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Ling created the Five Dou Rice Doctrine, worshipped Lao Tzu as the ancestor of the religion, and honored Lao Tzu as the Supreme Lord. He used the "Five Thousand Essays of Lao Tzu" as the canon to teach repentant Taoists, and founded Taoism. He also wrote the "Five Thousand Essays of Lao Tzu" to explain the "Five Thousand Essays of Lao Tzu" from a religious point of view. Since then, it has become the basic classic of Taoism

Zhuge Changqing: After your busy work, read the Tao Te Ching and do good deeds. You can clean your mood, improve your wisdom and harmonious life.

Zhuge Changqing wishes all the people who are destined to respect their parents and do good deeds and accumulate virtue rich and auspicious!

Bless all the people in the world who are destined to meet their needs, the heavenly officials will bless them, the cause will take off, and the source of wealth will expand!

太上老君，是道教的教主，是三清的道德天尊，人间的化身就是老子。

----- 诸葛长青

     道教文化，博大精深，是中国文化的重要组成部分。

    道教文化时刻影响着中国人的生活。

    诸葛长青认为，人们生活中实践《道德经》、《易经》的道理，我们日用而不知。

    道教文化包含了“修身立命、治国安邦、出世入世、和谐人生”等许多大道理。

    大家思考生活，就会发现，很多词语出自道教。

    我们简单看看这些例子，譬如：

    “道德、上善若水、如履薄冰、天长地久、道法自然、大巧若拙、以正治国、以奇用兵、千里之行始于足下”等，就出自《道德经》。

    “自强不息、厚德载物、谦谦君子、日月合璧、同志 文明、和平、正大光明、乐天知命、 革故鼎新、防微杜渐”等，就出自《易经》。

     道教尊奉太上老君是教主，就像佛教尊奉释迦牟尼佛为佛祖一样。

    一、太上老君，就是“三清"之一的"道德天尊"。

    大家走进道教宫观，一般会看到“三清殿”，

    三清的中间是玉清元始天尊、右边是上清灵宝天尊、左边是太清道德天尊。

    太上老君（道德天尊）其塑像居左位，一般是手执八卦蒲扇。

    太上老君，是道教教主，为三清之第三位。

    太上老君是简称，全称是：“一气化三清太清居火赤天仙登太清境玄气所成日神宝君道德天尊混元上帝”，简称“老君”。

    又称“道德天尊”、“混元老君”、“降生天尊”、“太清大帝”等。

    二、《道德经》老子就是太上老君的化身

    人间写《道德经》的老子，姓李，名耳，字聃，又字伯阳，春秋时楚国苦县人。

    他作为太上老君的化身，来到人间，曾任周朝守藏室之史。

    老子主“道德”之说，后世以为道家始祖。

    孔子曾经前往问礼，著有《道德经》五千余言。

    相传老君居住在太清圣境。《西游记》中，老君居“离恨天兜率宫”；《封神榜》中，则是“大罗天玄都洞八景宫”。

　　 道教相信道家哲人老子是老君的化身，度人无数，因其传下道家经典《道德经》，故称老君为道德天尊，也被道教奉为开山祖师。

　　许多道教祖师都自称得到老君显灵的启示与教诲，如汉朝的张道陵、南北朝的寇谦之等。唐朝皇室更尊奉老君为其始祖。

     三、《道德经》包含了宇宙人生的道理。

    诸葛长青认为，认真学习道德经的智慧，可以工作生活的更幸福开心。

    道教思想影响人们的生活。  

     春秋时期的老子，中国古代最伟大的思想家、哲学家。

    老子在出关的时候，根据关令“尹喜”所请，写下了文明万世的《道德经》 。

   《道德经》，又称《道德真经》、《老子》、《五千言》、《老子五千文》，是中国古代先秦诸子分家前的一部著作，为其时诸子所共仰，是道家哲学思想的重要来源。

    道德经分上下两篇，原文上篇《德经》、下篇《道经》，不分章，后改为《道经》37章在前，第38章之后为《德经》，并分为81章。

    《道德经》是中国历史上首部完整的哲学著作。

   《道德经》常会被归属为道教学说。其实哲学上的道家，和宗教上的道教，是不能混为一谈的，但《道德经》作为道教基本教义的重要构成之一，被道教视为重要经典，其作者老子也被道教视为至上的三清尊神之一道德天尊的化身，又称太上老君，所以应该说道教吸纳了道家思想，道家思想完善了道教。同时，前面所说的哲学，并不能涵括《道德经》（修身立命、治国安邦、出世入世）的全貌。

     道教奉为主要经典之一（道教有三部奇书，《道德经》，《南华真经》，《易经》）。《道德经》本为先秦道家的代表作，汉末张陵创五斗米道，奉老子为教祖，尊称为太上老君，以《老子五千文》为教典教悔道徒，创立了道教，并作《老子想尔注》以宗教的观点解释《老子五千文》，自此成为道教的基本经典

     诸葛长青：繁忙的工作之余，看看《道德经》，做做善事，可以清净心情，提升智慧、和谐人生。

诸葛长青祝福天下孝敬父母、行善积德的有缘者富贵吉祥！

   祝福天下有缘者有求必应、天官赐福、事业腾飞、财源广进！
