- Tae-mo-nim Oversees the Meditation
of Sahng-jeh-nim’s Disciples
- 1 On September 7, Gim Gyung-hahk and his brother Yung-hahk, both disciples of Sahng-jeh-nim, came to Tae-mo-nim.
- 2 Gyung-hahk said, “When a group of us were meditating at Su-wahng Hermitage on Mo-ahk Mountain, Sahng-jeh-nim’s sacred spirit appeared and rebuked us for having lost contact with You over the past few decades.
- 3 Sahng-jeh-nim said to us, ‘If you do not go to your Mother, bring Her back with you, make amends, and renew your bond with Her, you will meet with misfortune.’”
- 4 With tears of regret, he continued, “The two of us came here on everyone’s behalf to seek forgiveness and ask You to come back with us to oversee our meditation for three days.”
- 5 “The past is like a dream,” Tae-mo-nim said. “Despite My failing health, I cannot refuse an elderly man in his seventies who comes to Me with such an earnest request.” She left for Su-wahng Hermitage with the two men.
- 6 There, a group led by Bahk Gohng-ooh had gathered to meditate. Among them were Ee Joong-sung and his wife, Ee Sung-yung, Gim Su-eung, and others.
- 7 Tae-mo-nim stayed with them for three days and, on September 11, visited Geum-sahn Temple.
- 8 From there, She went to Yohng-hwa Village and stayed two days. Upon seeing the new portrait of Sahng-jeh-nim, She said, “The new portrait is inaccurate. Have it made again.”
- 9 She left Yohng-hwa Village on the thirteenth and returned to Oh-sung Mountain.
