- The Origin of All Diseases
- 1 A disciple asked Sahng-jeh-nim, “Whenever You see sick people, You cannot bear to witness their pain and You suffer on their behalf. Why is this so?”
- 2 “All diseases are rooted in vengeful energy or destiny,” He replied.
- 3 “If the vengeful energy is not alleviated, it leads to more vengeful energy; if the destiny is not erased, misfortune ensues.
- 4 When I suffer on their behalf, vengeful energy undoes itself and destiny disappears naturally.
- 5 Since I will have suffered all illnesses in this world on behalf of humanity, there will be no suffering from disease in the Later Heaven.”
