問。老經五千最為淺略。上清三洞乃是幽深。且靈寶禁經天文玉字。超九流越百氏。儒統道家豈及此乎。

> Question: The five thousand words of Laozi's scripture are the most shallow and sketchy, whereas the Three Caverns of Shangqing are profound and deep. Moreover, the Lingbao Prohibitory Scriptures and the celestial scripts of jade characters surpass the nine lineages of philosophy and transcend the hundred masters. How could the Confucian tradition or the Daoist school ever reach this?
