Features: The collated texts in this volume provide several texts for the study of Taoism and Buddhism that are not included in the Dao Zang. Professor Gu Yu Tong's Notes on the Recovery of Health sets a high standard for utilizing Dunhuang Taoist manuscripts. The collated texts included in this album provide primary sources for studying the Ancient Lingbao Sutra and related Taoist scriptures and compendia. Meanwhile, the collated texts of the Shengxuan Neijiao Jing and the Benji Jing published in Ling region timely provide interpretable texts for the ongoing research on medieval Taoist Xuanxue studies. The authors of this volume are also committed to theoretical innovation within their capabilities. Using the "what Buddhism took from Taoism" and "what Buddhism did not take from Taoism" provided by Dunhuang manuscripts, they clarify the overly exaggerated impression of mutual antagonism between Buddhism and Taoism in the Fengming Ji and the Fengming Mingji.
