• Cultivation and Enlightenment
  • Bahk Gohng-ooh once pleaded, “Please grant me enlightenment.”
  • Sahng-jeh-nim chastised him, “What are you saying? In heaven, there is a council containing one representative for each family name.
  • If enlightenment is granted to one person now, these ancestral spirits will gather and criticize the unfairness.
  • I cannot be swayed by personal preference.
  • All will attain enlightenment simultaneously, according to the degree of their cultivation.
  • Outside the mainstream, I plant the seed of enlightenment.
  • This seed will sprout and eventually cover the whole world.”
