hihi,
oh my oh my.. well, firstly this forum does NOT only restrict to
'quan zhen taoism' but rather the whole of Taoism, including folk
Taoism and orthodox Taoism. It is just that i am more concern of
quan zhen taoism, but that does not restrict other info or
discussion.
Well, generally a little bit of off-topic will be tolerated, but
certainly NOT too much and mutual respect and own-initiative is
uphold here and i hope all will follow, for everyone's good.
Qing Shui Zu Shi, or Revernend Qing Shui, is widely worship by
sourthern China and Taiwan provinces.
He is also known as 'black faced master', 'Peng Lai Zu Shi' etc..
He lived in the Northern Song dynasty and once followed Wen Tian
Xiang in serving the country.
in the 6th year of Yuan feng, he was summoned to pray for rain in a
drought in Qing xi(near Fu jian province) and his prayer was
answered. and thus he was called 'qing shui zu shi'.
He residued on Peng Lai mountain, and cultivated there. He passed
away at the age of 65 in a siting position. strictly speaking, he
was a famous buddhist monk in that era.
