¹One day, Taemonim proclaimed to the disciples, “There are none among humanity who have not sinned. ²Grave sins are not forgiven by heaven and earth; and before long, retributions afflict the sinner. Lesser sins torment later generations as retributions plague the sinner’s descendants. ³Therefore, I shall now suffer for everyone’s sins to purge them.” She then had a bowl of cheongsu positioned on a baduk board and commanded the disciples to chant the Jinaekju Mantra.

⁴A moment later, Taemonim fainted and lay barely breathing. When several hours had passed, She regained consciousness and said, ⁵“The matters of the world are truly tangled.”
