In Most Traditional Taoist sect the direct transmission is through oral ,and maybe precede with some mantra which are opening password to transmission, like the Spiritual Qigong Sect , Tai Shan Men Xiao Pai
In the Daoist tradition, Direct Transmission (⼜訣, kǒu jué) is not simply a helpful teaching technique—it is the living thread that binds generations of practitioners into an unbroken chain of the Dao. The written word is fixed, static. But the Dao is alive, and so its true method must be transmitted through life itself.
The term ⼜訣 (kǒu jué) refers to oral formulas, secret instructions, and subtle explanations that are passed directly from master to disciple. These teachings are rarely written down—not because of secrecy alone, but because they cannot be fully captured in language. They deal with the timing, inner feeling, shifts in consciousness, and energetic subtleties that must be personally experienced and inwardly confirmed.
Without oral transmission, a practitioner may have the text, the method, and even the right aspiration—but still go astray. The tradition warns that mistaking symbolic instructions for literal ones, or performing a method without recognizing its inner alignment, can lead not only to stagnation but to real harm in the energetic body.
