The Golden Register Triple Audience 金箓斋三朝仪

The Golden Register Triple Audience FULL NAME IS
Rituals of the Three Daily Audiences for the Golden Register Fasting
The compiler was originally unnamed.

Judging from its content and literary style, it was presumably composed in the Song Dynasty, and is suspected to be one of the Golden Register Fasting rituals revised and abridged by Zhang Shangying in the late Northern Song Dynasty.
The original text is a single scroll, incorporated into the Section of Ritual Norms under the Cavern Mystery Section of The Daozang. It contains three chapters: The Morning Audience Ritual of the Golden Register Fasting, The Midday Audience Ritual of the Golden Register Fasting and The Evening Audience Ritual of the Golden Register Fasting, which constituted the morning, midday and evening ritual cultivation practices for the Golden Register Fasting.
The proceedings of these three daily audience rituals are largely similar with minor differences, all including paying homage to the master with mindful invocation, beating the ritual drums to summon the divine officials, requesting and proclaiming the ritual positions, reciting the memorial prayers and benedictions, chanting the Twelve Aspirations, invoking the gods and burning incense, among other rites.
Its benedictory prayers express wishes for the eternal stability of the imperial reign, the longevity of the sage sovereign, universal peace across the four seas, and a bumper harvest of grains every year.
