《正统道藏》洞神部本文类，一卷，约唐（或更早重玄传统）。托老君说：人受生自胞胎至百神驻形，心为身主、神之舍。五脏藏五神，心制之则正、放之则狂。修道即修心，修心即修道；内观不遗则生道长存。详分命、性、心、意、志、智、魂、魄、精、荣、卫等概念。与《定观经》《清静经》同属隋唐“内观澄心”一系，强调生道合一、虚寂长生。
⚡ Ứng dụng: 内观澄心是八字命理“神安则命稳”的修持法；定心可制七杀、伤官妄动。

The Scripture of Inner Contemplation proves that the Dao is found by turning the gaze inward: the body-mind contains the entire field of spirit, and outer seeking multiplies delusion. It argues that correct 内观 reveals emptiness, spirit, and life as already present, converting metaphysics into a perceptual practice. Knowing the Dao is a change of direction of attention.
1) Daily reverse-attention drill: from senses → breath → spirit → open awareness. 2) In BaZi counseling, teach clients to observe their chart patterns as inner habits, not only outer events. 3) When 七杀/伤官 agitation is high, use 内观 to metabolize heat before action. 4) Alternate brief outer ritual with longer inner viewing to avoid dependence on spectacle. 5) Criterion of progress: less compulsion to seek signs outside.
Unlike 中经’s detailed deity bureaucracy, 内观经 is leaner and more nature-of-mind oriented. It differs from 定观经 by emphasizing the inward turn as such more than the formal 定/观 taxonomy. The core argument is directional: truth is missed by vector, not by lack of information.
