¹In 1928 and 1929, Bocheongyo practitioners from various regions settled in Daeheung-ri and nearby villages, creating a community of practitioners.²This sudden resettlement of several thousand households meant that most of these families had no livelihood, so they eventually became too hard-pressed to support themselves.³As a means of relief, Cha Gyeong-seok widely issued a guideline on non-grain food sources and promoted them. However, this led to a series of deaths related to poisoning and starvation, and the remaining practitioners were all beset with hunger.

⁴Taemonim was sojourning in Wangsim-ri Village during this period, and scores of Bocheongyo practitioners visited Her every day and bemoaned their hunger, the total number of such visitors eventually surpassing ten thousand.⁵Taemonim provided them all with relief, forsaking none of them.

⁶These circumstances severely impaired the running of the dojang, until aid from Gahng Jae-ryong, a follower who was a policeman, arrived to sustain the dojang for many days.⁷Meanwhile, Bak Jong-o and Gim Su-yeol toured the Imok region and Yi Yong-gi and others toured Jeonju, Iksan, and Gimje regions, raising funds, but these barely sufficed to sustain the dojang.
