 Lingbao ritual shares a great deal with ritual in other Daoist traditions . Like other traditions , Lingbao rituals had a theatrical quality that involved accompanying music , dances , and chants . Lingbao Daoism also shared the multidimensional aspect of Daoist ritual , meaning that it was carried on at several different levels simultaneously . For example , while a ritual was being performed , the priest would repeat the ritual within himself through interior meditation .
