- One Mind and the Ship of South Joseon
- 1 Sahng-jeh-nim went to Gyung-suk’s house in Dae-heung Village and designated it as the Po-jung-so.
- 2 On a piece of paper, He wrote the characters of the twenty-four directions in a circle and, in the middle, wrote, “Virtuous sages who are venerated with offerings of food for a thousand autumns (血食千秋 道德君子).”
- 3 He said, “Some say that heaven and earth began from the direction of Gahn (
), but that is not true. Heaven and earth were formed simultaneously from all twenty-four directions.”
- 4 He continued, “This is the work of rowing the Ship of South Joseon. The spirits of the virtuous sages who have been venerated for a thousand autumns row the ship, and Jun Bohng-joon is the captain.
- 5 When asked how they have come to be adored by people and honored with offerings of food for so long, the spirits say that everything came of having one mind.
- 6 Unless you have one mind, you cannot board the ship.” After conducting a ceremony, He burned the paper.
