• Widening the Area in Front of the Maitreya Shrine
  • Sahng-jeh-nim planted about ten green bamboo seedlings behind the medicine room.
  • Then, on a clean sheet of paper, He listed every item in the medicine room. He also wrote:
  • 世界有而此山出 紀運金天藏物華
    應須祖宗太昊伏 何事道人多佛歌
  • The world came into being and from it came this mountain.
  • On this mountain lies the destiny
    for opening the Later Heaven’s autumn civilization.
  • The head ancestor of the Early Heaven’s civilization
    is definitely the Great Bright Bohk-hee.
  • Why do so many seekers sing of Buddha?
  • Sahng-jeh-nim then gave this writing to Bahk Gohng-ooh and Gim Gwahng-chahn, saying,
  • “At Geum-sahn Temple, there is a shrine for Shakyamuni Buddha in front of Maitreya Buddha’s shrine. This is discomforting. Take this to the temple and burn it facing the statue of Shakyamuni. While doing so, imagine that you are carrying the statue on your back to the western side of the yard.”
  • The two disciples went to the temple and did as they were told.
  • 10 Several years later, when Geum-sahn Temple was renovated, the shrine for Shakyamuni Buddha was moved to the western part of the yard, making the area in front of the Maitreya Shrine wider.
