Zhang Dao Ling was a Chinese religious leader and the founder of the “Way of the Celestial Masters” movement of Taoism, who lived during the Eastern Han Dynasty. In essence, his followers were attracted to his faith-healing method which led them to believe in the purification of the body and the cure of illness caused by sinful-mindedness. However, Zhang Tian Shi (Celestial Master Zhang) was also a name given to him by many Taoists because of his magical skills as a healer and an exorcist. At times he was affectionately pictured as an old scholar wearing a Taoist crown and riding on a tiger.
