Introduction

Mat Giao (Secret Teachings) is pleased to present to our fellow practitioners the book “Mysticism in “The Investiture of the Gods”” authored by scholar Duc Quy. This book explores the mystical and religious themes found within the Chinese classic epic “The Investiture of the Gods,” offering insightful commentaries and explanations in the field of Mysticism. Scholar Duc Quy delves into the basic principles and general laws governing the operation of deities, drawing from personal experiences involving miracles, possessions, charms, and spells, which enrich the text with firsthand encounters.

Additionally, the book includes articles discussing religious doctrines from Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Confucianism. The content of this book was previously serialized in Matgiao Magazine, spanning from Issue No. 3 in 1985 to No. 17 in 1986.
