Scripture of the Perfected Taiji's Inquiries about Acts of
Merit
"This intact roll preserves the text of a late Lingbao codification offering a lesson on altruism. The scripture is framed as a dialogue between the Perfected Taiji (Taiji zhenren) and Laozi. Nine levels of activities are given whereby one may realize the merit of benefitting others. As Ofuchi_1978:
112 observes, this work is not extant in the MingDaoistCanon:
Ming Daoist Canon of 1445 but a similar title is recorded in a catalogue of missing scriptures, HY1419:
HY 1419 'Dao zang que jing mu lu'. [JB]"
