The Tai Ji Zhen Ren Wen Gong De Xing Ye Jing 太极真人问功德行业经

Paul Peng
Scripture of the Taiji True Person Inquiring about Meritorious Deeds and Karmic Actions, the author of which is unknown.

It is likely to have been composed during the Southern and Northern Dynasties or the early Sui and Tang dynasties.

It was not included in the Zhengtong Daozang (Orthodox Taoist Canon).

It is recorded in the Daozang Quejing Mulu (Catalogue of Lost Scriptures in the Taoist Canon).

One complete Dunhuang manuscript (S425) of this scripture survives today, with a full beginning and end and 57 lines of text.

The scripture is pseudonymously attributed to dialogues between the Taiji Taixu True Person and the High Supreme Lord Laozi, narrating the origins of meritorious deeds and karmic actions, and exhorting people to perform extensive good deeds, accumulate merits and cultivate virtues, and foster good karmic affinities.
