- The Great Justice of the Work Under Heaven
- 1 To swear an oath is to make a paramount promise to boundless and eternal heaven and earth.
- 2 If you break such a promise, you will have difficulty in accomplishing anything, no matter how great and virtuous it is.
- 3 “Those who are numbered among the faithful, but who are later removed from the count for acts of betrayal, cannot survive.
- 4 A spirit perishes if its essence gate (精門) is blocked, and a human becomes worthless if a promise is broken.
- 5 There is a saying, ‘Three buckets of beads will not become a treasure unless they are strung together.’”
- (JSD Dojeon 8,22)
