The Tianyinzi(Master of the Heavenly Seclusion) is a Daoist book written by the Daoist master Sima Chengzhen. This is a small book, but it presents a concrete way to become a Shenxian. The Tianyinzi is divided into 8 chapters. Starting with the preface, the eight themes are Shenxian(Immortals), Yijie(Change to simplicity), Jianmen(Gradual gate), Zhaijie(Diet and fasting), Anchu(Peaceful living), Cunxiang(Resting in thoughtfulness), Zuowang(Sitting in forgetfulness) and Shenjie(Explanation of deities). The subject to become a Shenxian is none other than a person. If ‘spirit’ resides in a person, forgetting everything, not having attachments, and letting go as it flows, this is Shenxian. In order to become a Shenxian, your thoughts must be extremely simple and easy. However, this process is not as easy as it sounds, and it is not accomplished in an instant without a process of practice. This is what is called a gradual process. Even if they are different religions, they should be willing to talk and interested if they can help, so the introduction of Tianyinzi itself is considered meaningful.
