- You Hold the Word Saeng
- 1 “You hold in your hands the word saeng (生), which means ‘to save life.’ Is this not the great work of autumn through which you gain the true meaning of life? The work will be accomplished through three stages of change.
- 2 The work under heaven rests at the divide in the road between life and death. Our ceaseless effort is the work of earning three meals a day.
- 3 Our work is to live when others die and to live with prosperity and blessings when others live.”
- (JSD Dojeon 8,67)
