Abstract
Traditionally, the discussion of religious experiences has focused predominantly on mystical experiences. However, many contemporary religious scholars have discovered that religious experiences are not necessarily equivalent to mystical experiences or peak experiences. Instead, they are often embedded in general religious practices and intertwined with spiritual insights in daily life. This article aims to provide a preliminary sorting and interpretation of the first volume of The Linshui Hundred Cultivation Records, which includes 50 cases centered on the belief in Linshui Furen in Southeast China and Taiwan. Besides aiming for a more detailed understanding of the diverse cultivation practices within the Linshui Furen belief system, this research also seeks to serve as a foundation for future comparative studies of East Asian religions across different deities and regions.
