上清宝诰
志心皈命礼。
居上清境，号灵宝君。祖劫化生，九万九千余梵炁。赤书焕发，六百六十八真文。因混沌赤文而开九霄，纪元洞玉历而分五劫。天经地纬，巍乎造化之宗。枢阴机阳，卓尔雷霆之祖。大悲大愿，大圣大慈。玉宸道君，灵宝天尊。

铜范铸像，素面须髯，建上清灵明冠，衷袍端坐，外服离尘青玉锦氅，束七宝带，手持如意。灵宝天尊亦称灵宝君、太上大道君，为“三清”中第二位天尊。《云笈七签·三元》谓: “妙一分为三元，其中为‘赤混太无元’，化生灵宝君，居上清圣境，称禹余天。气元黄，为洞玄教主，传授洞玄部经典，故称上清灵宝君。”道经说他是在宇宙未形成之则，混沌状态产生的元气所化生。原是“二晨之精气，九庆之紫烟”，后托胎三千七百年诞生，住在上清境的玄都玉京仙府，有金童、玉女各三十万人侍卫，万神朝拜，超度之人不计其数。有三十六变七十二化，人们随时随地都可以见到他。据《云笈七签》引《洞真大洞真经》，灵宝天尊系“玉晨之精气，九庆之紫烟，玉晖焕耀，金映流真，结化含秀，苞凝元神，寄胎母氏，育形为人”。《灵宝略记》则称：“太上大道君以开皇元年托胎于西方郁那玉国，寄孕于洪氏之胞，凝神琼胎之府三千七百年，降诞于其国郁察山浮罗之岳丹玄之阿侧，名日器度，字上开元。及其长，乃启悟道真，期心高道，坐于枯桑之下，精思百日而元始天尊下降，授灵宝大乘之法，十部妙经”。上清高圣太上玉晨大道君，自元始天尊处受经法以后，即辅佐元始天尊，居三十六天之第二高位上清境，在三十四天之上，治蕊珠日阙，管七映紫房，金童玉女各三十万侍卫。万神入拜，五德把符，上真侍晨，天皇抱图。 《洞玄本行经》记载，灵宝天尊以灵宝之法，随世度人。自元始开光，至于赤明元年，经九千九百亿万劫，度人有如尘沙之众，不可胜量。凡遇有缘好学之人，请问疑难，灵宝天尊即不吝教诲。天尊有三十六变、七十二化，人欲见之，随感而应，千万处可分身即到。灵宝天尊的诞辰为夏至日。

Three statues of bronze gilt are erected to the deities, located inside San Sheng Gong
San Qing, also named as the Three Pure Ones, are the most honourable deities in Taoism. These deities include Yu Qing Yuan Shi Tian Zun (玉清元始天尊), Shang Qing Ling Bao Tian Zun (上清灵宝天尊) and Tai Qing Dao De Tian Zun (太清道德天尊). The trinity is the manifestation of the “Three One” Theory of Tao. In the 42nd chapter of Taoist classic Dao De Jing (道德经), it was said that “Tao produced One, One produced Two, Two produced Three and Three produced All Things. All Things carry Yin and Yang, when these two are well integrated, that is harmony.” In the 14th chapter, Tao was also described as an essence “Looked at but cannot be seen; Listened to but cannot be heard; Reached for but cannot be obtained. These three senses cannot be analysed, but they mingle and act as one.”
It is believed that San Qing is the manifestation of Yuan Shi Tian Zun, who comes into being at the beginning of Jing Qi (精气) and resides in Da Luo Tian (大罗天). He is eternal, limitless and formless. He was incarnated into two other deities namely Ling Bao Tian Zun during the time of Tai Shi (太始) - a state of the beginning of “form”, and Dao De Tian Zun during the time of Tai Su (太素) - a state of the beginning of “substance”.
