- The Outbreak of the Mysterious Disease
- 1 “When the mysterious disease breaks out, people will die in their sleep, during their meals, or even while they are walking.
- 2 There will be no one to tie the dead bodies. The bodies will be disposed of using pitchforks. People will not have time to put their shoes on properly.
- 3 When the catastrophic disease arrives, it will strike the pharmacies and hospitals ahead of all other places. The whole of humanity will come to the brink of annihilation. What could possibly help you to survive?
- 4 Do not look for precious medicine. Learn ui-tohng with sincerity, attentiveness, and faithfulness.”
- 5 A disciple inquired, “Chey Su-oon said, ‘Why should people in this Eastern land worry about dying of the three-year mysterious disease?’ and
- 6 ‘The fate of facing the mysterious disease all over the world―oh, it is again the time of gae-byuk.’ Is this the way it will happen?”
- 7 “This refers to the vast scale of the disease,” Sahng-jeh-nim explained. “It will happen all over the world.
- 8 When the time comes for the catastrophic disease to take its toll, it will be like being swept away by a flood. Those lying down will not have time to get up, and those eating their meals will not have the chance to drink a spoonful of broth.”
- (JSD Dojeon 7,26)
