The issue of life and death has been covered in Eastern and Western thought and religion for a long time. Life and death cannot be divided. Well-dying and well-being are closely related to each other. Ultimately, well-dying may result from living well. In Taoist ritual of delivering deceased souls, one can free from death by having lived positively and enthusiastically in one's life. Contrary to the Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu thought, Taoism did not accept death as returning to nature. They tried to solve the problem of death by living ever-young and being a Taoist hermit with supernatural powers(Sin-Sun) during their lifetime. In Song Dynasty, among the various Taoist schools, the Ling Bao school held that the problem of death could be solved though a complete deliverance with body and mind practice in life. Especially, Suo Nan Zheng Si Xiao, a Taoist in the Ling Bao school, presented the theory of body and mind practice which was called Su Hwa Yon Do. In this theory, the principle of Neidan theory was added to the ritual of delivering deceased souls. Sou Nan's Su Hwa Yon Do has the following characteristics. First, Su Hwa Yon Do explains the human body and mind using the water and fire energy based on Kan(Yin) and Li(Yang) of the Book of Changes. Second, a balance of the water and fire energy means a balance of body and mind. That is, the cultivation of both inner nature(Xing) and fate(Ming), which is a balance of body and mind, can result in human perfection. As a result one can enter a world of a Taoist hermit with supernatural powers(Sin-Sun). Third, it can be possible to deliver other deceased souls when one delivers his or her own soul through Neidan practice while alive.
