Wikipedia / List of Celestial Masters
This is a list of the Celestial Masters, leaders of Zhengyi Dao, continuing Wudoumi Dao (Way of the Five Pecks of Rice). 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. In English the Celestial Master has sometimes been known as Taoist Pope.
