The Zuowanglun or Zuowang lun is a Taoist meditative text that was written by the Shangqing School patriarch Sima Chengzhen (647–735). Taoism incorporated many Buddhist practices during the Tang dynasty (618–907), and the Zuowanglun combined meditation techniques from Taoism (e.g., 坐忘 zuòwàng "sitting forgetting", and 觀 guān "observation"), Buddhism (śamatha "calm abiding", and vipaśyanā "insight") and Confucian concept (正心誠意).
