• Sahng-jeh-nim’s First Memorial Chee-sung
  • One year after Sahng-jeh-nim’s ascension, many followers gathered for the first memorial chee-sung.
  • They lamented, shouting to the sky, “We have come a long way, yet Sahng-jeh-nim is not here. Why does Sahng-jeh-nim not know we have gathered here?”
  • At that moment, thunder roared and colorful clouds appeared.
  • Bright, auspicious qi emanated from heaven to the guest room where Sahng-jeh-nim had lain prior to His ascension. The disciples were delighted to see this.
  • Ho-yun asked Sahng-jeh-nim, “They have been very sad. Why don’t You say something to them?”
  • Sahng-jeh-nim said, “What should I say? I will not speak simply for the sake of speaking.
  • Since you wish for it so much, I stop by like this as I come and go. Who do they think I am that I should appear?
  • I am traveling around conducting My work. Should I come down just to eat a food offering?
  • Do not trouble Me. Keep your mind steadfast.
  • 10 Your offering is good because spirits must also eat. If spirits do not come, what can be accomplished?”

  • (JSD Dojeon 10,69)
