• If There Were Not an Ultimate Person
  • In December 1907, while staying at Moon Gohng-shin’s house in Wa-ryohng Village, located at the foot of Jung-toh Seven Peaks, Sahng-jeh-nim conducted a great work of renewal.
  • He had the disciples chant the Jin-aek Mantra for many days. Also, He told them about King Yao’s observation of the movement of the sun, moon, and stars and how the king used this knowledge to teach the people about seasonal changes.
  • Sahng-jeh-nim said, “Heaven and earth would be empty shells if there were no sun or moon. The sun and moon would be empty shadows if there were not an ultimate person.
  • King Yao understood the movement of the sun and moon, and people benefited from his knowledge.”
  • He then recited a poem:
  • 日月無私治萬物 江山有道受百行
    Sun and moon rule all things without prejudice.
    Rivers and mountains embrace all actions with dao.
  • A New Way of Life for the World’s People
  • That month, late one night at Gohng-shin’s house, Sahng-jeh-nim told each disciple with Him to scoop up half a gourd of water from a large pot inside the house and pour it into the well.
  • He then had them scoop half a gourd of water from the well and pour it into the pot.
  • Sahng-jeh-nim had other disciples do the same thing at other wells in the village.
  • He said, “This work of renewal is for the exchange of goods and money among all nations in the world. This is the new way of life for the people of all nations.”
  • Preparing for the True Master and Emperor Program
  • 10 In December, Sahng-jeh-nim performed works of renewal at both Moon Gohng-shin’s house in Wa-ryohng Village and Shin Gyung-su’s house in Oon-sahn Village.
  • 11 Sahng-jeh-nim said to Gohng-shin, “Near your house is an auspicious site called Emperor Being Captured. I will now activate and make use of its qi.” After saying this, Sahng-jeh-nim conducted various rites.
  • 12 One month earlier, Sahng-jeh-nim had come to Gohng-shin’s house and said,
  • 13 “I will need one hundred nyahng. Prepare it.” Gohng-shin prepared the sum and put it in a chest.
  • Sahng-jeh-nim Weeps Throughout the Day
  • 14 One day, Hwahng Eung-johng’s son, Nae-ja, and Moon Gohng-shin’s son, Gwahng-ohk, were playing together in the yard,
  • 15 when they noticed Sahng-jeh-nim lying on His side alone in a room. Throughout the whole day, Sahng-jeh-nim wept loudly, resting His head on a chest and hitting His hand against it.
  • 16 The sound of His hand hitting the chest was like the beating of a drum.
  • 17 On December 20, Sahng-jeh-nim summoned Hyung-yul and said, “Return home, prepare attire for yourself, and come back with Ja-hyun.”
  • 18 Hyung-yul followed this command, and on the twenty-third, he arrived with Ja-hyun at Shin Gyung-su’s house and there met Sahng-jeh-nim.
