- Meditation and Spirits
- 2 Sahng-jeh-nim said, “I called a spirit of Bu-ahn County, but it did not respond.
- 3 This occurred because Shin Wun-il was meditating and the local spirits guarding him would not leave his side. Seeing this, how can you neglect to meditate?”
- Study Should Be Continuous and Ceaseless
- 4 One day, Sahng-jeh-nim said to the disciples, “There was a man who spent three years away from home in meditation. On his journey back, he intuitively knew the name of every stranger he met and addressed each one accordingly.
- 5 By the time he reached home, he had lost whatever awakening he had gained and his perception had become dull again.”
- (JSD Dojeon 9,107)
