The Tao Susi 陶素耜

The Tao Susi 陶素耜

Paul Peng
Tao Susi was a native of Kuaiji (now part of Zhejiang Province) during the Qing Dynasty.

His original name was Shi Yu, and he styled himself Cuncunzi, Daoist Tongwei, and Dweller of the Pure and Quiet Heart.

In his youth, he traveled around the country, visiting and seeking guidance from Taoist masters and fellow practitioners. Once, he encountered a Daoist who imparted to him esoteric cultivation methods. From then on, he wholeheartedly devoted himself to Taoism and delved into the essential principles of alchemical practices (Neidan methods). Later, he compiled Dao Yan Wu Zhong (Five Types of Taoist Discourses), which was circulated among the people.
