¹Sangjenim immediately went to his home village, Gaengmang-ri, and sold off the family home and seven small fields used for chili pepper farming. He then announced to the village, “We will now move.” At this, the whole village became unsettled.

²On the day of the relocation, villagers gathered to help pack Sangjenim’s belongings, and he told them, “Carry what your heart guides you to carry.” Those who were sincere and caring bore sacks of rice, a rice kettle, earthenware pots, and other heavy and valuable items.³Conversely, those who had come only for the sake of appearances merely carried brooms, straw mats, and other light and thus less valuable items.

⁴When all who were helping with the move reached Maldunggurijae Hill, Sangjenim said to them, “Take whatever you are carrying to your homes.”⁵Those who had struggled carrying their loads gained valuable items, while those who had sought to be clever found they had only valueless items to bear home.

⁶Soon afterward, Sangjenim took the money from selling the family house and fields and went to Jeonju. There, he gave all the money to beggars.⁷Thereafter, Sangjenim’s family lived indigently in a small rented room in someone’s home.

⁸Indeed, after what happened to Sangjenim’s family, all the members of the Jinbo Association exhausted their wealth and possessions. Sangjenim proclaimed, “They are following my example by spending all their wealth, so it is indeed proper that I save them.”
