Oral Formulas of the True Transmission of the Great Dao (大道真传口诀) is a rare Daoist inner-alchemy manual presented in the direct voice of oral instruction-and accompanied in this edition by clear, practice-oriented commentary that helps modern readers navigate the text's dense symbolic language without turning it into rigid technique.

Orally transmitted by Wèi Yáo (魏尧) and recorded by Chén Wēigōng Mèng (陈威公孟), this work preserves a 1924 lecture manuscript-practical guidance shaped in real time for serious cultivation.

Within its vivid, compressed instruction, the text lays out a complete internal roadmap: the stages of Small Heavenly Circulation (小周天, xiǎo zhōu tiān), the crucial transitional period of warming and nourishing (温养, wēn yǎng), and the approach to Great Heavenly Circulation (大周天, dà zhōu tiān). It addresses fire phases (火候, huǒhòu), timing, refinement, sealing and safeguarding, and the traditional sequence of verification signs-while repeatedly warning against the most common error: mistaking symbols, numbers, and scenes for literal mechanics.

In addition, the original text does more than give methods; it explains key classical sources that practitioners often cite but rarely understand in practical terms. Throughout the lectures, it interprets core Daoist and classical works of Patriarch Qiu Chuji (丘處機) from Longmen Secret Essentials 《龙门秘旨》

  • Verses and Oral Formulas of the Small Heavenly Circulation 《小周天歌诀》
  • Song of the Great Dao 《大道歌》
  • Rhapsody on Gathering the Great Medicine《采大药赋》
  • Rhapsody on Obtaining the Great Medicine 《得大药赋》
