Taoism is divided into 36 heavens. This is the difference in levels
Thirty-six levels are divided into: six heavens in the desire realm, eighteen heavens in the color realm, and four heavens in the colorless realm. The four heavens, the four Brahma heavens, and the four holy realms.
The eighth of the eighty-one incarnations of Taishang Laojun: Laojun is the ancestor of chaos and the parent of heaven and earth, so he sets out on a path of no hurry, wanders in the ruins of Xiaoyao, controls the hollows to ascend and descend, and rides on them. Yin and Yang are used as pottery pottery. It distributes the pure and turbid, opens up the universe, hangs the three lights, and cultivates the masses, so that the heaven and the earth can be divided, and the sun and the moon can move accordingly. It is metabolized in the four seasons, and regenerates in the five elements. Therefore, at the beginning of the ninety-nine and ninety-nine billion qi, the three qi of the true Yuanshi were transported to become heaven, and the upper level was the three realms of the three pure states, that is, the first qi was the jade clear state, the true qi was the upper clear state, and the original qi was the upper clear state. This is the realm of Taiqing. Also, the Qi of the three pure states generate three Qi each, and then combine into nine Qi to form nine heavens:
1. The Yudan Infinite Heaven. 2. The superior Zen is good for the heaven of infinite longevity. 3. The Brahma prison must be extended to heaven. 4. Jiran Doushu Heaven. The five paramiṣas are not arrogant and happy. 6. Dongxuanhua responds to the sky. 7. Spiritualize Brahma and assist heaven. 8. Have a high and clear tomorrow. 9. No thoughts, no knots, no love.
Each of these nine days produces three qi, and each qi is one day, totaling twenty-seven days. Through these nine days, there are thirty-six days.
