- Ahn Nae-sung Meets His Deceased Father
- 1 One day, while in Gu-rit-gohl Village, Sahng-jeh-nim asked Ahn Nae-sung, “Do you long to see your deceased father?”
- 2 “It has been my lifelong wish.”
- 3 “Then, open the door and look,” said Sahng-jeh-nim. “Do not touch or talk. Just look.”
- 4 Overjoyed, Nae-sung opened the door and saw his father standing outside.
- 5 Without speaking, the father and son stood for a long time, looking at each other through the doorway.
- 6 “Are you satisfied?” Sahng-jeh-nim asked and had Nae-sung close the door.
- 7 A while later, Nae-sung opened the door again and looked outside, but his father was nowhere in sight.
- 8 Sahng-jeh-nim had fulfilled Nae-sung’s lifelong wish by summoning the spirit of his father.
