• A General Rises from His Grave
  • On His way to Jeonju County from Mu-ju Township, Sahng-jeh-nim, holding Ho-yun in His arms, chanted a mantra in front of a grave on Bohng-chohn Mountain.
  • All of a sudden, the grave heaved and a general resembling Guan Yu rose out of it, shook the dust off himself, and sat down.
  • Wearing a suit of armor and having no wounds, he looked just like a living man to Ho-yun.
  • Sahng-jeh-nim said to the general, “Do not worry. Lie down. Though you are dead, you still have a gallbladder. Do not be bitter about all your men having been killed in battle.
  • When the time comes to do our work, do not think of being dead. Strive to the utmost. If you do, your bitterness will be resolved.”
  • The general lay down again, and Sahng-jeh-nim restored the grave mound, smoothing it with His hands.
