Taishang Lingbao Hongfu Miezui Xiangming Jing (The Scripture of the Numinous Treasure of the Supreme Oneness: Names of Images for Great Blessings and Sin Eradication), the author of which is unknown. It was probably composed during the Tang Dynasty.
It consists of one scroll and is included in the Text category of the Cavernous Mystery section of the Daozang (Taoist Canon).

The scripture states that the crown prince of Anren Kingdom wished to become a monk and cultivate the Dao, and the national master, the Supreme True Person, was ordered to expound this scripture to the crown prince.
The text lists the titles of 279 Heavenly Worthies and the catalogue of the thirty-six divisions of Taoist scriptures. It claims that if sentient beings in the mortal realm can wholeheartedly believe in and reverence them, burn lamps and recite the names of the Heavenly Worthies and Taoist scriptures, and vow to repent, they can eradicate sins and attain great blessings.
Hence, the text is titled Hongfu Miezui Xiangming Jing (Scripture of Great Blessings, Sin Eradication, and Image Names).
