- The Gahn and Tae Union Program
- 6 Occasionally, Sahng-jeh-nim, Hyung-yul, Bohng-nahm, and Ho-yun traveled on horseback to conduct works of renewal. Before these journeys, Sahng-jeh-nim always ordered three horses readied for the four travelers.
- 7 Sahng-jeh-nim rode on one horse, and Hyung-yul on another. Sahng-jeh-nim had Bohng-nahm and Ho-yun ride together on the third horse.
- 8 Sometimes, when Bohng-nahm and Ho-yun bickered about not wanting to ride together, Sahng-jeh-nim would rebuke them and say, “I might as well not take you along.” Thus, there was no choice but for Ho-yun to cling to Bohng-nahm’s back as they rode.
- The Ultimate Contest and Young People Wearing Straw Hats
- 9 One day, while traveling with Bohng-nahm, Sahng-jeh-nim asked, “Do you think you can beat Me at wrestling?”
- 10 Looking serious, Bohng-nahm replied, “Father, why would You ask such a question?”
- 11 “Let’s wrestle,” Sahng-jeh-nim said. Bohng-nahm hesitated out of deference, so Sahng-jeh-nim again ordered him to wrestle.
- 12 With no choice, Bohng-nahm grasped the waist of Sahng-jeh-nim’s pants with both hands and began wrestling with Him. Somehow, Bohng-nahm beat Sahng-jeh-nim.
- 13 “Let’s wrestle again!” Sahng-jeh-nim said. Bohng-nahm grabbed the waist of Sahng-jeh-nim’s pants and wrestled with Him again. Bohng-nahm again beat Sahng-jeh-nim.
- 14 “Let’s wrestle one more time!” Sahng-jeh-nim said. Bohng-nahm thought, “I should lose this time to allow my Father to save face.” He then began to wrestle with Sahng-jeh-nim.
- 15 Initially, Bohng-nahm did not try hard, but when the match became close,
- 16 he suddenly thought, “Oh I don’t care. I’ll win again.”
- 17 With a sudden exertion, he threw Sahng-jeh-nim to the ground.
