¹One day as Taemonim was conducting a work of renewal with many disciples, She declared,²“The world’s people do not understand the underlying principles of life.” She then ordered Go Min-hwan, “Write down the content of this work of renewal in which I reveal the teachings.³Carefully record the principles word for word, and let them be known to all of humanity.”

⁴It is for humanity that heaven and earth came into being;

⁵It is for humanity that the sun and moon circulate and illuminate;

⁶It is for humanity that yin and yang wax and wane;

⁷It is for humanity that the order of the four seasons observes harmony;

⁸It is for humanity that all existence comes into being;

⁹It is to edify and to save humanity that sages are born.

¹⁰Since heaven and earth cannot attain fruition without humanity,
heaven and earth beget, in balance, humanity and all existence.
