- A Caution to Those Who Distort the Teachings
- 1 Sahng-jeh-nim looked around the room and then said to the disciples outside, as if to admonish them, “From now on, people will live according to their own will.
- 2 The learned are thieves. Those who use a writing brush are the biggest thieves of all.”
- 3 Hyung-yul signaled with his eyes for Ho-yun to leave the room with him. As he was about to step outside, lightning suddenly struck, and the front and back doors flew open with a violent gust of wind.
- 4 Rain as thick as bamboo came pouring down, and thunder rolled in the sky as a blue bolt of lightning shot into the room.
- 5 Sahng-jeh-nim, still lying down, caught the lightning with His bare right hand and shouted, “Which one of you is it? I decide the time! You dare to wield a sword in boastful display!
- 6 I will ascend any minute now.”
- (JSD Dojeon 10,45)
