• A New Bud Comes from an Old Tree
  • Sahng-jeh-nim often said, “The work will be accomplished before long.”
    “Before long? When?” Ho-yun would ask.
  • Sahng-jeh-nim would not name a specific date, saying only, “A great world will come.”
  • At other times, He would say to her, “A new bud comes from an old tree. From that bud, an il-ggoon arises.
  • A bud comes from an old tree, and then that bud becomes an old tree. From that old tree comes another bud, and that bud has offspring. Then, the person of dao comes to meet you.”
  • On another occasion, at Hyung-yul’s house, Sahng-jeh-nim said, “In the future, a new bud will come from an old tree, and the one who is to carry out the work will emerge.”
