Kinh ngắn về thiền định Đạo giáo: muốn “quan diệu thành chân” phải bỏ tà hạnh, dứt ngoại sự, chỉ diệt động tâm không diệt tĩnh tâm, ngưng không tâm không ngưng hữu tâm. Mô tả “tâm ngũ thời” và “thân thất hậu” (từ chân định đến luyện thần hợp đạo). Cốt tủy nội tu, triết lý sâu nhưng kinh văn rất ngắn và ít được nhắc rộng.
Ứng dụng: Tọa quan, tĩnh tâm, tu định; tham khảo tiến trình “thất hậu” đắc đạo
撰人不详,约出唐代,一卷,收入《正统道藏》洞玄部本文类。短篇心性修炼要诀,要旨在「静心凝神」。与《定观经》同源近文:夫欲观妙成真,先去邪僻,外事都绝,然后澄静其心,所思次束次灭;习久心闲,唯灭动心、不灭静心,但凝空心、不凝有心;静心之上豁然无覆,寂然无载。强调宽急得所、处喧无恶、涉事无恼之真定。属灵宝系中偏重定观止念的清修短经。
⚡ Ứng dụng: 定观炼心、止念入静;为内丹筑基与命理「心君泰定则五气朝元」之心理功夫根本。

The text proves that true insight is not gained by multiplying objects of contemplation, but by a single continuous attention that empties the mind of fixed form; once the observing mind itself is seen as empty, dualistic grasp collapses and the Dao is immediately present. It argues that 'wonder' (妙) is not a special object but the residual clarity left when conceptual seeking stops. Thus cultivation succeeds only when observation turns back upon the observer rather than chasing phenomena.
1. In BaZi or life reading, first quiet personal preference before interpreting stems and branches—bias is a form of grasping. 2. Contemplation practice: sit and track breath/thought without labeling outcomes as good or bad. 3. When a chart shows strong 'seeking' patterns (e.g., excessive Fire or agitated Metal), prescribe 'return observation' rather than more action. 4. Use the text as a rule: if a technique increases conceptual complexity without calming the heart-mind, it is counterfeit 'wonder-viewing'. 5. End sessions by releasing the role of 'interpreter' so insight can settle without reification.
Unlike the Huangting corpus, which maps the body as a sacred landscape of deities and organs, this Lingbao scripture abstracts method into pure phenomenology of attention. Unlike Daotong jing’s metaphysical unity thesis, it is operational and anti-reificatory: it proves emptiness of the act of seeing rather than asserting cosmic oneness as doctrine. Its distinctive force is methodological minimalism.
