The 36 Heavens in Taoism Context (道教三十六天)

In Taoism, since the Far-away Era, Taoists & Chinese had been believing in the 36 Heavens System and till now, in most Major Taoist Rituals/Ceremonies, the Official Taoist Priests will still perform the Reporting to the 36 Heavens before the starting of the Rituals/Ceremonies. These 36 Heavens are being divided into 9 Levels, each Level with 4 Heavens.

Due to different Eras and different Records, since after Song Dynasty, there are a few sets of 36 Heavens being recorded. Some will being strongly influenced by the Buddhism and so, you will see Buddhist Heavens being recorded inside it, which is not Accurate.

In here, in-order to retain the Oldest Set of 36 Heavens, I will share with you all the 36 Heavens that being recorded by Grand Master Zhang Jun Fang (张君房) in Yun Ji Qi Qian (云笈七签), the Oldest Taoist Encyclopedia (compilation of All Ancient Taoist Articles & Scriptures).

In the following are the 36 Heavens being recorded by Grand Master Zhang Jun Fang:

(三十六)太虛空境大罗天 Tai Xu Kong Jing Da Luo Tian

This Da Luo Tian is the Highest among All the Heavens. This is where the Whole Universe or Null being Manifested. This is the Heaven where Yuan Shi Tian Wang (元始天王) being Manifested. According to Taoist Records, San Qing Heaven also located in this Da Luo Tian, just that San Qing Heaven had their own allocation area in it.

Today in the Taoist Society, due to some Taoist Priests wanted to cut down the Duration & Work on performing certain Taoist Rituals, they tend to cut down the Making of Reports to the 36 Heavens Ritual (the Ritual Title is known as Qi Gu Shang Zou San Shi Liu Tian Ke Yi 启鼓三十六天科仪or Qi Gu Jin Tian Cao Ke 启鼓进天曹科) in many Major Rituals/Ceremonies. And due to such ignorant actions, the Practice of this Ritual was not being pass-down. This is indeed a Sad thing to know about.
