The Jade Register Triple Audience Requiem
The compiler is originally unnamed.
It was roughly compiled from the late Northern Song Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty.
It is a single scroll and incorporated into the Ritual Norms Section of the Cavern Mystery Division of The Daozang.

The text is divided into three chapters: The Morning Audience Ritual for the Jade Register Salvation Fasting, The Midday Audience Ritual for the Jade Register Salvation Fasting and The Evening Audience Ritual for the Jade Register Salvation Fasting. It elaborates on the morning, midday and evening ritual cultivation ceremonies of the Jade Register Fasting. The proceedings of these three rituals are largely similar with minor differences, mainly including paying homage to the master with mindful invocation, reciting incantations to summon divine officials, requesting and proclaiming the ritual positions, intoning memorial addresses, chanting invocations to the cardinal directions, repenting sins for all quarters, three memorial invocations with three obeisances, making vows, invoking the gods and burning incense, intoning the hall-exiting hymns and other rites.
The memorial addresses primarily state that the fasting ceremony is held to pray for netherworld blessings on behalf of the deceased spirits, and express the aspiration to universally bestow blessings upon the nation and its people, embodying the merciful salvation connotation of The Dao.
