玉皇上帝乃元始天王所化法身，为太极界最高之神。道经以：玉皇上帝居昊天金阙，弥罗天宫，妙相庄严，法身无量。统御诸天，综领万圣，主宰宇宙，开化万天。行天之道，布天之德，造化万物，济度群生。权衡三界，总御万灵而无量度人。为天界至尊之神，万天帝主也。宋真宗大中祥符八年（西元1105年），尊玉皇上帝圣号为“太上开天执符御历含真体道玉皇大天帝”。宋徽宗政和六年（西元1116年），又尊玉皇尊号为“太上开天执符御历含真体道昊天玉皇上帝”，简称“玉皇大帝”或“玉皇”。玉皇为众神之王，在道教神阶中地位极高，神权最大。道经中称其居住昊天金阙弥罗天宫，总管三界（天上、地下、水府），十方（四方、四维、上下），四生（胎生、卵生、湿生、化生），六道（天、人、魔、地狱、畜生、饿鬼）的一切阴阳祸福。

(Also known as: The Jade Emperor, Yu Huang)
Yu Huang Da Di, commonly known as the Jade Emperor, is another manifestation of Yuan Shi Tian Zun (元始天尊) and is regarded as the highest deity in Tai Ji (太极). In Taoist scriptures, it was mentioned that Yu Huang Dai Di resided in Hao Tian Jin Que (昊天金阙), the Heaven of Mi Luo (弥罗). He has a solemn look; ruled over different heavens, led all the saints and deities, governed the universe and created the cosmos. He enforced the heavenly rules of God, rewarded the virtues, created and protected all the beings. In 1105 A.D., this deity got his formal title conferred by Emperor Zhen Zong of Song Dynasty (宋真宗) as “Tai Shang Kai Tian Zhi Fu Yu Li Han Zhen Ti Dao Yu Huang Da Tian Di” (太上开天执符御历含真体道玉皇大天帝). Later in 1116 A.D., Emperor Hui Zong (宋徽宗) changed the deity’s title to “Tai Shang Kai Tian Zhi Fu Yu Li Han Zhen Ti Dao Hao Tian Yu Huang Shang Di” (太上开天执符御历含真体道昊天玉皇上帝). He has almighty power over San Jie (三界) - the heaven, the earth and the water; over Shi Fang (十方) – East, South, West, North, Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, Northwest, Up and Down; over Si Sheng (四生) – viviparous (胎生), oviparous (卵生), wet birth (湿生) and metaplasia (化生); and also over Liu Dao (六道) – Heaven (天), Human (人), Ashura (阿修罗), Hell (地狱), Animals (畜生), and Hungry Ghosts (饿鬼).

志心皈命礼
太上弥罗无上天，妙有玄真境。渺渺紫金阙，太微玉清宫。无极无上圣，廓落发光明。寂寂浩无宗， 玄范总十方。湛寂真常道，恢漠大神通。玉皇大天尊，玄穹高上帝。
