Divine Heart-Purifying Incantation As the foremost among the Eight Divine Incantations, this mantra is essential for Taoist practitioners' daily morning/evening rituals and talismanic arts cultivation. It purifies body-mind, dispels distractions, and stabilizes spiritual essence. Through its power, mundane consciousness enters meditative stillness, enabling introspection of the Tao-heart within sacred serenity. It further safeguards the ethereal soul (hun) and corporeal soul (po).
Mortals dwelling in worldly realms inevitably commit verbal transgressions - slandering scriptures, blaspheming the Tao, gossiping, or cursing heaven/earth. Such "oral karma" (kǒu yè) demands purification.
Mundane diets involving three pungencies (garlic, onion, leek) and five fetid meats taint breath, defiling the Three Treasures (scriptures, masters, sacred spaces) during rituals. Regular recitation eliminates oral impurities and invites celestial rectification.
Divine Body-Purification Mantra Realigns the Four Cardinal Deities governing bodily functions, eradicating "physical karma" (shēn yè) - sins of violence, theft, and licentiousness. This sanctification enables adepts' physical forms to resonate with divine energies, transforming the body into a consecrated vessel for spiritual communion.
Earth-Soothing Incantation Used when establishing altars to summon local earth spirits and mountain deities. These terrestrial guardians petition Heaven on mortals' behalf while protecting orthodox practices. Essential for grounding rituals within cosmic hierarchies.
Cosmos-Cleansing Divine Chant Subdues demonic forces, commands celestial legions, and stabilizes the Five Sacred Peaks. Purges miasmic accumulations caused by human transgressions, replenishing primordial qi to ensure cosmic sustainability. Its vibratory patterns dispel pestilence and prolong vitality through cosmic rebalancing.
