¹Taemonim usually forbade anyone to set foot in the front yard of the dojang;²consequently, when the disciples passed through the gate, they did not enter the dojang by the front raised wooden floor, but instead entered through the back door.

³This was so because their passage through the front yard would disturb the comings and goings of high spirits.⁴If someone tried to cross the front yard, Taemonim without even looking would thunder, “Who dares trespass the front yard!”⁵Occasionally, some followers would nonetheless pass through the front yard, and they would become seriously ill upon their return home.

⁶One day, Taemonim suddenly spoke in Chinese toward the sky, and the disciples, not understanding why She did so, remained seated in bewilderment.

⁷A moment later, Taemonim revealed, “Spirits from Qing China came to this country and concocted plots concerning its political affairs, so I have banished them from this land.”
