¹Beginning in June, Sangjenim resided for nearly two months at Gyeong-seok’s house in Daeheung-ri Village, Jeongeup County.

²Just over a month before becoming Sangjenim’s disciple, Gong-u brawled with a Christian in the Cheonwon Village market. The man struck Gong-u with a large stone, breaking his ribs, and Gong-u fell to the ground and did not regain consciousness for quite a time.³After weeks of treatment, he could just barely walk about, but still could not touch his chest because of the terrible pain. Gong-u informed Sangjenim of this incident.

⁴Sangjenim revealed to him, “A time ago, on a roadside, you struck someone in the chest, nearly killing him. Reflect carefully upon the harm you did to him, and repent.⁵You are planning, after your recovery, to find the Christian man who injured you and kill him, but it was the vengeful qi from the man whom you had nearly killed that possessed the Christian, to exact revenge upon you. It is rather fortunate that your suffering is not any worse.⁶Calm your anger and consider your assailant your benefactor, and you will quickly heal.”

⁷Profoundly inspired by Sangjenim’s words, Gong-u set aside his hatred for the Christian and resolved in his mind to treat him with respect the next time they met.

⁸Many days later, it was reported that Christian ministers from twelve towns had assembled for an evangelical meeting at the church in Cheonwon Village.⁹Sangjenim told Gong-u, “The Christian ministers of twelve towns have been gathered in order to heal your injury.” Gong-u’s injury completely healed within three days.

¹⁰Sangjenim later revealed, “All disastrous events throughout the world are instigated by vengeful spirits. ¹¹Be careful to never create vengeful qi within others. If you have engendered vengeful qi, resolve all such instances one by one and seek reconciliation.”
