Alot of our friends might have come across this Incantation, but never have a chance to really understand the background of this Incantation, upon request and the great interest of so many friends here, I will do a quick and brief intro on this Incantation - one of the Taoist Eight Spiritual Incantation, known as Jin Guang Shen Zhou.

In Taoism, we do have 2 forms of Jin Guang Shen Zhou, the longer version is known as Da Jin Guang Shen Zhou (大金光神咒), which will take at least 2 or more minutes to recite the whole passage whereas Jin Guang Shen Zhou, the shorter version, takes only about less than a minute to complete reciting.

From the various Taoist Records, Jin Guang Shen Zhou appeared in the Incantation-records that being compiled by a Taoist Priest in Song Dynasty (宋朝). This Record was known as Tai Shang San Dong Shen Zhou (太上三洞神咒).

In the Record, Jin Guang Shen Zhou was being placed in the Thunderial Department Incantations Section, meaning that, this is one of the Incantations that is closely related with the various Heavenly Marshals in the Thunderial Department (雷部). If you will to look closely in the Incantation, on the 9th sentence & 11th sentence, the Title of Thunder Deities are being mentioned, this prove that, in the very beginning, this Incantation was impart by Deities or Priests that got relationship with Shen Xiao Taoist School (神霄派) or Qing Wei Taoist School (清微派). 

During Song Dynasty, our Zheng Yi Sect 30th Heavenly Master Zhang Xu Jing (正一天師道第三十代天師虛靖天師) did comment on this Incantation (brief translation):

This is a Incantation that allow the Enhancement from the Initial Energy from the Universe to be bestowed onto one person. By mastering this Incantation, one will be able to summon the Deities in-order to achieve the objective of Cleansing, Cultivation & Opening of Wisdom, etc.

From here, you could see that, this Incantation was being widely & commonly used in Zheng Yi Tian Shi Sect during Song Dynasty under the leading of the 30th Generation Heavenly Master Zhang.

So, how to do Cultivation upon this Incantation?

Many people have enquiry me on that, and my reply are:

1 - you must be an Official Taoist or accepted Disciple of any Taoist Schools, in-order to allow one self to evoke the Initial Energy from the Three Realms and also the Protection from any of the Taoist Ancestors. For Layman Taoists, one self can just do normal reciting to gain the possible blessings from the Three Realms, due to Layman Taoists do not have the authority and ability in doing Summoning & Commanding, certain effects will not be enhanced or happened.

2 - you must put down whatever one self have learnt from other Religions or other Non-Taoist Schools, in-order to prevent the different form of energies from crashing & fighting. In long-run, one self will be hurt and seriously harm if the various energies keep crashing & fighting among themselves.

3 - you must only start Practicing this Incantation after the gaining the permission from the Master or the School, if not, any fatal outcome, no one will be able to provide the immediate assistance, etc.

4 - you must be sincere and faithful in learning the Incantation, cos, once the energy emitted from the Incantation has merged into one's physical body, mind & soul, whatever actions that one self involved in will be recorded and after-effect will be "repaid" accordingly.

Only by accepting the above mentioned-issues and followed closely, if not, No Masters will imparted the Hidden Set of Skills to the disciples or students, to prevent any fatal outcome, etc.

People might felt that, all these are just Chinese Characters, what harm can they bring to people and this LARGE World?

Like what I have mentioned in other postings, Energy is something that till today, No One can actually used good terms to do a detailed and accurate explanation.

As Mortal, we can play or joke with things that are physically visible, physically touchable, physically hearable, etc, but never ignore or neglect the Invisible Forces that Energy emitted out, cos if a little minor mistake, sometime it can lead to Scary & Unsolvable outcome - one of Unbelievable Creation by Energy is known as Big Explosion, only after Big Explosion then this Universe is being formed.
