¹Du O-bok, the mother of Jeon Seon-pil of Okgu County, had been suffering from stomach pains for many years,²and she eventually reached a stage where her entire body swelled and nothing could be done for her. When Seon-pil informed Taemonim of the symptoms of his mother’s illness, She instructed,³“Have your wife offer a bowl of cheongsu with utmost devotion and pray in her heart with complete sincerity, then have her brew four-herb medicine in the cheongsu and serve the brew to your mother.”

⁴Seon-pil’s wife did exactly as commanded, and his mother was cleansed of her illness within days.

⁵Later, Taemonim revealed to Seon-pil, “If you preserve one mind and never deceive your mind, you will become a dharma master.”
