Buddhahood." Other themes in his compilation have been less well explored,
though his copious citations yield much useful information. In particular he
is our chief source for the threefold and sevenfold formation of the Taoist
Canon in two stages, in the fifth and sixth centuries (see *DAOZANG AND SUB-
SIDIARY COMPILATIONS). The Daojiao yishu represents the high water mark
of the influence of Buddhist doctrinal compendia on Taoism; the influence
of Tiantai Buddhism (which had a strong center at the nearby Yuquan si .3I.
jR ~ or Jade Spring Monastery) has in particular been identified. As a result,
and as a result perhaps also of the decline and disappearance of Blue Brook
Mountain as a religious center, it seems to have fallen quite rapidly into neglect
by later Taoists.

Daomen kefan da quanji

Great Complete Compendium of Ritual Protocols of the School
of the Dao

The Daomen kefan daquan ji (CT 1225) is a collection of *zhai (Retreat) and *jiao
(Offering) rituals in eighty-seven juan. Although the collection was largely
edited by *Du Guangting (850-933), juan 25- 45, 63, and 65-69 were probably
compiled by Zhong Li {'f1 ff1lJJ in the Ming period. Since this work is a compila-
tion of documents dating from different times, it must be used with care as a
historical source; there is, furthermore, no agreement among scholars about
. Zhong Li's dates.
The work contains a large number of rituals dating from the Tang and Song
periods, classified under the following categories: 1. Time of birth (j. 1-3); 2.
Averting illnesses (j. 4-6); 3. Averting disasters (j. 7-9); 4. Praying for rain or
snow (j. IQ- I8); 5. *Wenchang (j. 19-24); 6. Praying for posterity (j. 25- 29); 7.
Averting calamities and controlling fire (j. 30-36); 8. Securing the household
from theft (j. 37-44); 9. Exorcizing inauspicious fate (j. 45- 48); 10. Southern and
