The First Celestial Master

This painting depicts the first celestial master of Taoism, Zhang Daoling. In 142 CE Master Zhang had a vision of Lao Tzu, the author of the fundamental Taoist text, the Tao Te Ching. Lao Tzu appeared before Master Zhang, who was a hermit on a holy mountain in Sichuan province, and announced the beginning of the era of Great Peace. Many attribute this as the official start of the Taoist community. Printed on rayon silk. Painted by Grandmaster Tu Jin-Sheng. 18" x 35"
