Synopsis

The True Teaching of Patriarch Lü Dongbin brings together the most important stories, scriptures, and treatises attributed to one of Daoism’s greatest immortals. Lü Dongbin (呂洞賓), revered as the Pure Yang Patriarch, is celebrated as both a legendary figure of the Eight Immortals and a transmitter of profound inner alchemical wisdom.

This volume presents:

  • The Yellow Millet Dream and the Trials of Lü Dongbin – the most famous accounts of his awakening and spiritual testing, revealing the impermanence of worldly success and the steadfastness required to uphold the Dao.
  • The Heart Scripture of Patriarch Lü (呂祖心經) – with its two prefaces, teachings on the heart-mind as the foundation of cultivation.
  • The True Teaching of Patriarch Lü (呂祖正教編) – fifteen sections of moral guidance and practical Daoist instruction.
  • The True Scripture of Dao and De by Patriarch Lü (呂祖道德真經) – echoing the Dao De Jing while offering Lü’s own voice on Dao and Virtue.
  • The Wondrous Scripture on Self-Mastery (呂祖克己妙經) – emphasizing restraint, self-discipline, and the conquering of selfish impulses.
  • The Treatise on Pointing to the Mysterious (呂祖指玄篇) – a complete text with commentaries, guiding readers through Daoist inner alchemy and the cultivation of the Elixir of Immortality.

Each text is accompanied by commentary that opens its meaning for modern readers.

Together, these writings span parable, scripture, moral exhortation, and alchemical teaching. They form a living portrait of Patriarch Lü Dongbin: immortal, sage, alchemist, and compassionate guide. This collection was chosen to reflect both the breadth of his influence and the depth of his wisdom, offering readers a way to encounter his words not as distant relics, but as living instructions on the path of the Dao.
