This transforma- tion is inseparably connected with the name of Chang Ling or Chang Tao-ling.
To this day, this saint is described as a miracle- worker of the highest order, as a distiller of elixir of life, as a first-rate exorcist, as a god-man who commanded spirits and gods. He personifies the transformation of Taoist ancient principle and doctrine into a religion with magic, priesthood, and pontificate, under the auspices of Lao-tsze himself, who, appearing to him, commissioned him to estab
...lish that great organisation. In obedience The Worship of the Universe 183 to this patriarch, he transmitted his mission to his descendants, who reside to the present day, as legal heads of the Church, in the province of Kiangsi, in the same place in the Kwei-khi district where Chang Ling prepared his elixir of life, and flew up to the azure sky. ' History and myth teach us that in the second century of our era this remarkable man founded, in the province of Sze-chwen, a semi-clerical state, with a system of taxation, and with a religious discipline, based on self-humiliation before the higher powers, and on confession of sins.
