• Do Not Be Distracted
  • One day, Sahng-jeh-nim sat on the front porch of the medicine room with Yu Chahn-myung sitting below Him.
  • Sahng-jeh-nim had him write the following:
  • 淳昌 五仙圍碁 長城 玉女織錦
    務安 胡僧禮佛 泰仁 群臣奉朝
  • In Soon-chahng County, there is an auspicious site:
    Five Immortals Playing Ba-dook.
  • In Jahng-sung County, there is an auspicious site:
    Female Immortals Weaving Silk.
  • In Mu-ahn County, there is an auspicious site:
    Buddhist Monks in Prayer.
  • In Tae-in County, there is an auspicious site:
    Subjects Obedient to the King’s Orders.
  • He also had him write:
  • 淸州萬東廟
  • Mahn-dohng Shrine in Cheongju
  • Sahng-jeh-nim then burned the paper.
  • Because Chahn-myung was a little distracted, Sahng-jeh-nim cautioned, “A spirit holding an ink line is standing next to you. Why is your mind scattered?”
