Taoism believes that the Tao Sutra is a sacred book written by the Sanqing Tianzun in order to save all living beings in the universe using the wonderful qi of nature. The Taoist scriptures are hidden in the "Seven Treasures Xuantai", and the immortals pass the scriptures to the high-ranking celebrities, and then they spread the sermons to the people of the world. The Taoist classics are voluminous, covering all aspects of catechism, canons, precepts, cultivation of spells, fasting and Jiao rituals, preaching and propagation, and feng shui calculations.
