This article examines the historical developments of the Sanyi Lun 三一論, with emphasis on Daoist visualization techniques during the Six Dynasties. The process of how the Chong Xuan 重玄 School transformed traditional visualization, the objective of which was health and immortality, into the Gongfu Lun 功夫論, which emphasized personal cultivation, is also addressed. The paper first points out that early visualization techniques were based a view of a fluid body and were integrated with the enigmatic “Preserving the One” principle. The location of visualization was also changed from the Gods of the Five Viscera system (which was influenced by early medical practices) to the Three Palaces system, which has the Three Cinnabar Fields as its core. This was later combined with the cultivation traditions of the Sanyi Lun during the Six Dynasties. The Chong Xuan School, which formed during the Southern Dynasty, had adopted the critical attitude that the Way of the Celestial Master had for visualization in earlier times. Under the stimulation and influence of Buddhism, the Chong Xuan School subsequently proposed another Sanyi Lun model that replaced the pursuit for immortality with the realization of the mystical experiences, allowing Sanyi Lun to transform from a technique of physical training into a type of Gongfu Lun that was focused on the cultivation of the mind. |
