Weixinism

"Guiguzi became of interest to me when I started studying one of Taiwan’s new religions, Weixin Shengjiao (唯心聖教), on which I have written and lectured extensively. It is a central tenet of Weixin Shengjiao that the legitimate successor of the mythical Three Chinese Ancestors was Guiguzi, identified with the Bodhisattva Wang Chan Lao Zu, and that he appeared to the founder of the movement, Grand Master Hun Yuan, mysteriously united with him, and gave to him several books of revelations."

"Grand Master Hun Yuan was a rare figure: a religious innovator whose teachings on Feng Shui, I Ching, and ancestor veneration were matched by a painter’s sensibility and a scholar’s appetite for dialogue. His canvases, infused with spiritual intention, were not simply works of art but living embodiments of his cosmology. His leadership of Weixin Shengjiao was never insular; he saw religion as a bridge, not a boundary. This vision led him to organize conferences that welcomed international scholars from fields far beyond his own tradition, creating spaces where ideas could circulate freely and respectfully."
