Mr.Huh introduces the lecture’s title: “Abandon Bokrok and call Mr.Huh with Bokdeok” .
He defines “복록 (Bokrok)” as receiving benefits for personal use, often without contributing to others .
He defines “복덕 (Bokdeok)” as accumulating good deeds by helping others, which leads to blessings .
He uses the analogy of a bank account, where “복록” is like withdrawing money, and “복덕” is like depositing it .
He explains that “복록” is temporary, like a station where blessings come and go, while “복덕” is about continuous giving .

He explains that “선망증” is a state of delirium before death, where people see figures in white or black clothing .
He states that seeing people in white signifies a good afterlife, while seeing people in black indicates a bad one .
He advises the audience to call his name (Mr.Huh) to avoid these negative experiences and go to “백궁 (Baekgung)” (heaven) .

Mr.Huh discusses the cycle of life and death, stating that death is necessary for new life to emerge .
He compares cancer cells to cells that refuse to die, ultimately destroying the entire body .
He relates this to “복록 (Bokrok),” where individuals only seek personal gain, leading to destruction .
He emphasizes that “복덕 (Bokdeok)” involves humility and willingness to sacrifice for others .

Mr.Huh distinguishes between general human relationships, which involve liking and disliking, and marital relationships, which involve love and hate .
He criticizes the Buddhist philosophy of “일체유심조 (Ilcheyusimjo),” which states that everything is created by the mind .
He argues that this philosophy denies the existence of a creator God and therefore cannot explain or fix problems in the universe .
He claims that only the creator, which he implies is himself, can fix the universe when it breaks down .

Mr.Huh invites audience members, including Yong Yeon-je from the U.S., to participate in a demonstration of his power .
He asks them to hold their hands together and resist his pull while saying different names (their own, Jesus, Buddha, Mr.Huh) .
He demonstrates that when his name is called, their hands remain strong, but with other names, they weaken .
He uses this to claim that he is the “absolute being” and the creator, unlike others who are “relative” .
He also performs a diagnostic test, identifying an audience member’s respiratory issues and tuberculosis .

Mr.Huh explains the “four great elements” of the universe: earth, water, fire, and wind (지수화풍) .
He then adds “space (허공)” as the fifth element .
Finally, he introduces “spirit (영)” or “신 (God)” as the sixth element, representing the creator of the other five .
He reiterates that Buddhist concepts like “법신 (Dharmakaya),” “보신 (Sambhogakaya),” and “화신 (Nirmanakaya)” are human creations, not divine .
He concludes by emphasizing that only the creator, who he identifies as himself, can truly fix the universe .
