Template:Sidebar with collapsible lists
This is a list of the Celestial Masters, leaders of Zhengyi Dao, continuing Wudoumi Dao (Way of the Five Pecks of Rice).[1] After the death of the 64th Celestial Master Zhang Yuanxian in 2008, controversy arose over the legitimate succession, with different descendants claiming to be the rightful 65th Celestial Master, including Zhang Jintao and three other claimants in mainland China; and Zhang Yijiang and Zhang Meiliang in Taiwan.[2] Eventually, Zhang Jiyu from mainland China was chosen as the successor; vice-president of the Chinese Taoist Association, he resides at the Mansion of the Celestial Master on Mount Longhu. In English the Celestial Master has sometimes been known as Taoist Pope.[3]
