All who have received the Jingming method (Jingming fa, the transmitted ritual arts of the Jingming school of Daoism) must carve two seals, each measuring two cun and four fen. One is called the “Seal of the Most High Pure Brightness” (Taishang Jingming zhi yin), and the other the “Seal of the Master of the Jingming Method” (Jingming fazhu zhi yin). The Seal of the Most High Pure Brightness is used for presenting memorials and documents to the deities; the Seal of the Master of the Jingming Method is used for dispatching envoys and summoning ghosts and spirits.
The Taishang Lingbao Jingming Fayin Shi (Formulae for the Seals of the Most High Numinous Treasure Pure Brightness Method) ends here.
