- The Gravest Transgression
- 1 “When transgressions are reflected by the ‘mirror of ten thousand people’ and you recognize your own transgressions, your regrets will not avail you.
- 2 Ruining another’s heavenly relationship is the gravest transgression.
- 3 having an affair with a married woman is such a grievous wrong that i will do nothing for you in this matter.”
- Those Who Have Transgressed
- 4 Walking along a wide road with Ho-yun, Sahng-jeh-nim asked, “Should I walk in the center of the road or along the side? Should I take a side trail?”
- 5 “What are You talking about?”
“Those who have transgressed find it difficult to walk down a road in the open.
- 6 They walk along the side of the road without pride, shifting their eyes left and right. If you look into a person’s eyes, you can tell whether or not that person has a just mind.”
- (JSD Dojeon 2,80)
