Ci Hang Zheng Ren ( 慈航真人) - The Taoist Goddess Of Mercy


Many people only know the Buddhist Version Of Avalokitesvara and some Chinese only know the folk legends of Guan Yin (观音).

Chinese has no interest and no drive to "evangelise" the world to Taoism, therefore, hundreds of Taoist Scriptures are not translated to English and other languages. Due to this reason, many people don't know much about Taoist Deities.

There are 2 Chinese Texts that record the history of Ci Hang Zheng Ren (慈航真人):
1) The Celestial Beings Of Past Dynasties (历代神仙通鉴)
2) The Scripture Of Ling Bao (灵宝经)

Over here, the Original Taoist Version of Goddess Of Mercy will be revealed.

Ci Hang Zheng Ren (慈航真人) - "The True Person Of Traveling Of Compassion", is one of the earliest Immortals. Since the period of Yin/Shang Dynasty (殷代/商朝), it already had records of her.

Ci Hang Zheng Ren (慈航真人) is one of the 12 disciples under Yuan Shi Tian Zhun (元始天尊), known as 12 Golden Immortals(十二金仙). She is one and only female immortal of these 12 Golden Immortals(十二金仙). In pure Taoism, she is originally, already a female form, and not an image change of male to female form by the Chinese.

Ci Hang Zheng Ren (慈航真人) can appear in the human realm in 32 different human forms (三十二应), some of which are males, others females.

In Taoist Pictorial Form, Ci Hang Zheng Ren (慈航真人) is shown sitting on a Mystical Lion.

In 1119, the Song Emperor - Hui Zong (徽宗) conferred her the title "Heavenly Lord Ci Hang Pu Du Yuan Tong Zi Zai" (慈航普渡圆通自在天尊).

Base on Taoist Scripture, Guan Shi Yin (观世音) is an action rather than an Official Title of any Deity.

There are 3 Taoist Festivals catered to venerate her:

The Flower Month (花月) - 19th day of 2nd Chinese Lunar Month
Ci Hang Zhen Ren prayed for the dead to be liberated from hell and blessings for the all living things.

The Lychee Month (荔月) - 19th day of 6th Chinese Lunar Month
The day Ci Hang Zheng Ren (慈航真人) subjugated Ning Bo Xian Zi (凌波仙子) - A sea spirit, and gain the Tao.

The Chrysanthemum Month (菊月) - 19th day of 9th Chinese Lunar Month
The day Ci Hang Zheng Ren (慈航真人) completed her final duty and return back to Pu Tuo Luo Qie Mountain(普陀落伽岩潮音洞) to sit on the throne - Gain Immortality.

 Ci Hang Zheng Ren (慈航真人) or Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa (观世音菩萨) ?

To some folks of Pure Taoist Faith, Ci Hang Zheng Ren (慈航真人) has the same goal as Guan Yin Pu Sa (观音菩萨), which promised to answer the cries and pleas of all sentient beings and to liberate them from their own karmic woes, but is not Buddhist's Guan Yin Pu Sa (观音菩萨). However,  there are also other folk and even Taoist Priests agree that, Ci Hang Zheng Ren (慈航真人) and the Buddhist's Guan Yin Pu Sa (观音菩萨) is the same spiritual being, because she will and had appeared in different forms and contexts to preach her teaching and to save the mortals.

 Pure Taoists will revered Goddess of Mercy as Ci Hang Zheng Ren (慈航真人).

To the folks of Pure Buddhist Faith, they don't know who is Ci Hang Zheng Ren (慈航真人) , but only know that Guan Yin Pu Sa (观音菩萨) is originally a Bodhisattva in Male Form from Buddhism , then the Chinese Buddhism changed her into female form, and later copied over by Taoism.

Pure Chinese Buddhists will revered Goddess of Mercy as Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa (观世音菩萨).
