The Taishang Lingbao Tiandi Yundu Ziran Miaojing 太上灵宝天地运度自然妙经

Paul Peng
Taishang Lingbao Tiandi Yundu Ziran Miaojing (The Wonderful Scripture of the Natural Cycles of Heaven and Earth of the Numinous Treasure of the Supreme Oneness)

One of the ancient Taoist Lingbao Scriptures, compiled approximately during the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420–589 CE).

It was already cited in Wushang Miyao (The Supreme Secret Essentials) and Sandong Zhunang (Pearl Satchel of the Three Grottoes).

It is also recorded in Jiang Shuyu’s Zhaitan Anzhen Jingmu (Catalogue of Scriptures for Stabilizing Altars) of the Song Dynasty: consisting of one scroll, it is included in the Original Text Category of the Dongxuan (Mysterious Grotto) Section of the Daozang (Taoist Canon).

The scripture first outlines the numerical principles governing the distribution and movement of heaven, earth, sun, moon, and stars. It holds that the natural operation of heaven and earth undergoes cycles of minor and major kalpas (cosmic calamities) and the "Yangjiu-Bailiu" misfortunes every several thousand years.

Humans ought to first understand the numerical cycles of heaven and earth and the timing of kalpic transformations, then cultivate the Dao and perform good deeds to transcend kalpas and avoid misfortunes.

Otherwise, even if one pursues the Dao for many years, it will be difficult to ascend to immortality. The text further states that those who consistently observe pure fasting and chant mystical melodies can overcome floods.
