Acknowledgments

The Universal Tao publications staff involved in the preparation and production of Sealing of the Five Senses: Advanced Practices for Becoming a Taoist Immortal extend our gratitude to the many generations of Taoist masters who have passed on their special lineage, in the form of an unbroken oral transmission, over thousands of years. We thank Taoist Master I Yun (Yi Eng) for his openness in transmitting the formulas of Taoist Inner Alchemy. We also wish to thank the thousands of unknown men and women of the Chinese healing arts who developed many of the methods and ideas presented in this book.

We offer our eternal gratitude and love to our parents and teachers for their many gifts to us. Remembering them brings joy and satisfaction to our continued efforts in presenting the Universal Healing Tao system. As always, their contribution has been crucial in presenting the concepts and techniques of the Universal Healing Tao.

Thanks to Juan Li for the use of his beautiful and visionary paintings, illustrating Taoist esoteric practices.

We thank the many contributors essential to this book’s final form: The editorial and production staff at Inner Traditions/Destiny Books for their efforts to clarify the text and produce a handsome new edition of the book, Gail Rex for her line edit of the new edition, and Dr. Andrew Jan for his contributions on Kan and Li practice and Taoist Immortality.

We wish to thank the following people for their assistance in producing the earlier editions of this book: Bob Zuraw for sharing his kindness, healing techniques, and Taoist understandings; our senior instructors Juan Li and Renu Li for their insightful contributions over the years to this edition; Colin Drown for his editorial work and writing contributions; Otto Thamboon and Udon Jandee for their artistic contributions to the revised edition of this book; and Charles Morris, without whom the book would not have come to be, for inspiring and supporting all of the UHT books.

A special thanks goes to our Thai production team: Hirunyathorn Punsan, Sopitnapa Promnon, Udon Jandee, and Suthisa Chaisarn.
