- Written Records of Sahng-jeh-nim’s Work
- 1 When Sahng-jeh-nim conducted works of renewal, He would often write things or draw talismans and then burn the paper.
- 2 The disciples could not understand the meaning of the talismans, and if they tried to record the writings, He stopped them and said,
- 3 “Keep what you have heard firmly in your minds and later tell people about all of this from your memory. Written records will appear in the future.”
- 4 Therefore, there are few written records, and the few passages that have survived were recorded from the disciples’ accounts.
- (JSD Dojeon 5,332)
