¹In February, Taemonim summoned key senior disciples and commanded, “Have another portrait of Sangjenim made and enshrine it.”

²After discussing the matter among themselves, the senior disciples decided to commission a renowned painter, and thus they had Jo Dong-hui seek out a master painter,³which led Dong-hui to Joseon’s most famous painter of the time, Chae Yong-sin. ⁴After some inquiry, Dong-hui discovered that Yong-sin lived in Yuk-ri Village, Jeongeup County.

⁵Dong-hui immediately went to Yong-sin’s house and met with the painter, and they discussed the matter of Sangjenim’s portrait. Yong-sin consented to accompany Dong-hui to the Jojong-ri Dojang, arriving on March 1.

⁶Yong-sin began painting Sangjenim’s portrait that very day. Taemonim arrived when the portrait was nearly complete, but after seeing it, She flung the portrait away with Her tobacco pipe.⁷She then struck Yong-sin on the back with Her pipe, exclaiming, “You! I gave instructions to paint Jeung-san....” After speaking these words, She departed.

⁸Appalled, Yong-sin was at a loss for words, but Go Min-hwan and other senior disciples appeased him and convinced him to begin a new portrait.
