 Taoism  Ultimate One the Heavenly Savior (太乙救苦天尊)   Ultimate One the Heavenly Savior (太乙救苦天尊) is a divine manifestation of the Uncreated energy of The One (先天一炁), a.k.a. Ultimate One (太一). According to Taoist Scriptures, He comes from the Eastern World of Everlasting Bliss (東方長樂世界), riding a nine-headed lion. He has countless manifestations and incarnations in all worlds.   Master Loy's Spring and Autumn Annals (呂氏春秋.大樂) says: Tao is the ultimate essence, which is formless and nameless. To name it artificially, it can be called Ultimate One . (道也者，至精也，不可為形，不可為名，強為之，謂之太一。)   The Ultimate One generates Water (太一生水) says: Heaven and earth are created by Ultimate One . (天地者，太一之所生也。)   The Wondrous Scripture on Ultimate One's Salvation and Protection ( 太一救苦護身妙經 ) says: In the Eastern World of Everlasting Bliss , there is a greatly merciful and benevolent one called Ultimate One the Heavenly Savior .

Yellow Emperor's Scripture on the Hidden Talisman

An English translation of  黃帝陰符經 The beginning chapter -- The Divine Immortal embracing the ONE reveals the Way Behold Heaven's Way ( Dhoe ), and act according to Heaven's motions, that is all. In Heaven there are five thieves, those who see them will be thriving.

At the pivotal time that Heaven launches a killing, the stars and constellations move. At the pivotal time that Earth launches a killing, the serpent rises from the land. At the pivotal time that Man launches a killing, the Heaven and Earth are overturned. When Heaven and Man launch together, the base of all transformations is established. The Heart generates both cleverness and clumsiness, it can be calmed and concealed. T...

The Vessel of Dhoe

A living being's body is a vessel, the world is a vessel, and the universe is also a vessel -- this truth is revealed repeatedly in many Scriptures: The Kabbalah Unveiled, Introduction  says: Light personifies itself by veiling itself, and the personification is only stable when the veil is perfect. Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra  ( Taisho Tripitaka 0374, 0375 ) says: With the 100 virtues perfected, a phase is accomplished. Thus do things proceed one after the other, and the 32 bodily signs of perfection are attained. When all this is accomplished, we say "pure body".  "Also, the Bodhisattva practises the way of the 80 minor marks of excellence......For the sake of all beings, he practises the ways of the 80 characteristics and adorns his own body. This is the pure body of the Bodhisattva. Why so? Because all these 80 gods are what all beings greatly trust in. That is why the Bodhisattva practises the ways of these 80 characteristics, and his body does not suffer cha...
