Lu Hsiu-ching

Lu Hsiu-ching (born 406—died 477 ce) was a scholar of Taoism in South China who edited the revealed Ling-pao scriptures that became the basis for the most important ritualistic, or liturgical, traditions in religious Taoism. His efforts to assemble Taoist texts and to unify Taoist rituals show the influence of Buddhism during the 5th century and led eventually to the creation of a coherent sectarian tradition and scriptural canon.
