Fulu

Uncommon card · No. 157806

Fulu (traditional Chinese: 符籙; simplified Chinese: 符箓; pinyin: fúlù) are asemic Taoist magic symbols and incantations, translatable into English as 'talismanic script', which are written or painted on talismans by Taoist practitioners. These practitioners are called fulu pai (符籙派; fúlù pài; 'the fulu sect'), an informal group made up of priests from different schools of Taoism. Like most aspects of Taoist practice, use of these objects is not confined to Taoism: they have been incorporated into several forms of Chinese Buddhism, and have inspired the ofuda used in Japanese Buddhism and Shinto and the bujeok used in Korean shamanism.
