The Numinous Treasure Jade Register Requiem Rite
The compiler is originally unnamed.
It was roughly compiled from the late Northern Song Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty.
It is incorporated into the Ritual Norms Section of the Cavern Mystery Division of The Daozang.
The sacrificial ceremony recorded in this text is also one of the rituals of the Jade Register Fasting. This ritual was performed to pay homage to the Three Pure Ones, the Four Sovereigns, as well as the deities of Fengdu and the City God. It entailed presenting green talismanic memorials, eulogizing the merits and virtues of the sacred true immortals, and declaring the imperial edict to hold the Grand Jade Register Fasting for the salvation and blessing of the deceased spirits, praying for the blessing to "further accumulate heavenly bliss and thoroughly attain the true Dao", the ultimate spiritual pursuit of The Dao. Besides the regular ritual proceedings, its core ceremonies mainly include invoking the descent of true immortals, scattering flowers, reciting talismanic verses, proclaiming memorial submissions, intoning hymns of merit dedication, sending off the sacred deities and burning sacrificial offerings to the nether world.
