March 29, 2025. Episode 1485: The Difference Between the Baekgung Nameplate, Cheondojae, Jesa, and Prayer!
Just the fact that we are sitting face-to-face like this makes a lecture unnecessary. You, Divine Man, are always giving out energy and shouting, so your voice is about to get hoarse. You gave me so much energy because you kept telling me to lower my voice and stuff. On top of this yellow dust, there is no one who uses their voice as much as I do. So, your voice is a bit stuffy, isn’t it? But my voice is loud. The resonance is different from yours. That is why your voice is taking such a hit. Divine Man, still, you haven’t missed a single lecture, have you? You lecture every morning. There isn’t a single day you don’t do it. How many times is this on Saturday? It’s the second time. You lectured in the morning. You lectured in the morning, and now you are doing this. No, not the morning. You lectured at 1 o’clock, and now you are doing this again. The 1 o’clock lecture must have been fun.
No matter how many flowers you give, nothing is more beautiful than a human being. You shouldn’t think that flowers are the most beautiful just because someone brings them. It is the person bringing the flowers who is beautiful. We shouldn’t look at the gift and ignore the person just because someone brings flowers as a present. Is the gift more important, or is the person more important? I’m telling you, the person is important. But we humans immediately set our eyes on the gift. You know that. So, when a daughter hears that her dad went abroad and bought a gift, she is interested in the gift, not in the fact that her father came back alive. She takes it for granted that he will come back alive. After all, he survived and returned without dying. Isn’t that right? You should have a daughter who, while on the plane, says, “Father, oh my, the fact that you came back safely is the gift,” but instead, she asks, “Father, what did you bring?”
So, for a daughter, not bringing anything back is also against that law. That is why, even if the father doesn’t say anything, the daughter looks at his bag like this whenever he returns from overseas. There must be something to it. So, we don’t care at all whether the father returned safely. The problem is the gift. So, is it okay for you to just ask for levels without any interest in the Divine Being? Would that work? No matter how many levels I have in my pocket, it seems you only see the child’s levels. You need to look at the Divine Being. What does the father bring back from that galaxy every day? He has many angels and heavenly hosts. But you should ask for this, this; you don’t acknowledge that I came, and you just ask for that. If I go to the White Palace and just say, “Oh, you’ve come today,” is that all the gifting is done?
I came to this place called the Sky Palace and met a Divine Being. Just for that, the White Palace gives you an enormous level, doesn’t it? Oh my, it’s indescribable. I do give some things, but the White Palace gives way far more than I do. Why? Out of 8 billion people, the number of those who have met a Divine Being can be counted on one’s fingers. So, how high do you think your level goes? But they don’t look at me; they only look at the level. That is why a father returning from a trip abroad, if he has a daughter, simply cannot come back without bringing a gift for her. Even if he can’t bring back his wife, it would be awkward if he didn’t bring back something for his daughter. That is the reason we survive. Clearly, a daughter is born of her mother, but she forms an emotional bond with her father. It is strangely set up that way.
So, if a daughter is an only child, a father is head over heels in love with her, but a mother isn’t like that. She could divorce and leave her daughter behind. But a father can’t do that. Besides, he wouldn’t be able to go anywhere and succeed while leaving his daughter behind, so I suppose there is just something to it? That is why we are bound by these invisible chains. To the chains. Oh, but the chains for meeting a divine being are fine. They are worth being bound by. We must be freed from the chains of the world.
There was a fire in Andong recently. We have many supporters in the Andong area, around Uiseong, and in Yeongju. But could I put energy into it to prevent the fire? Would it work or not? Even without me putting it in, the fire naturally avoids my supporters. All the supporters’ houses didn’t burn. Even if the houses next door burned down, their own houses didn’t. I imagine there are lots of photos plastered on their houses. So, the fire just avoids them on its own, doesn’t it? That is why I specially set up Hwahoe Village so that the fire would avoid it. So, it uses the character for fire (Hwa) and the character for return (Hoe). The fire must return. The fire comes, turns 360 degrees, and goes away. Why? Because I named it Hwahoe. Fire will surely come someday. The fire must return. Hwahoe. The Divine Being put that energy in. The fire returns. So, you just need to think of it as Hwahoe.
Originally, it was Suhoe. The river turns. Doesn’t the water circle around Hahoe Village? The water was turning, but a divine being designated it as Hwahoe. Let the fire turn.
I mentioned this a few days ago. I explained it during my lecture. I infused it with energy. Let the fire turn around in Hahoe Village. Why? Use the character for “fire” (Hwa) and the character for “turn” (Hoe). Turn it all around with Hwahoe. The water comes like this and turns around Hahoe Village. But this time, I made the fire turn around. Ah, so that didn’t burn there.
This is where the Queen of England visited. From the perspective of the rest of the world, how does Andong even stand out? Yet, before she died, the Queen visited and saw Andong Hahoe Village before passing away. Why did she do that? It’s not as if she had only one or two places she wanted to visit. But even when she came to Korea, she only went to Andong Hahoe Village before returning. That shows just how much interest the Queen had in Andong Hahoe Village. Those people like “Traditional.” “Tradition” means tradition. Yes, they cherish that very essence immensely. It is remarkable that the Queen of England came and went. That is why the people of Andong say, “We have conquered the world empire through culture.” Who is the Queen of England? She once ruled the empire on which the sun never sets, didn’t she? She took everything; she took everything.
Canada is currently ruled by the British Queen, and Australia, the whole world—and the US, for that matter, was British.
It wasn’t that all of it was British territory in the past; Britain held China, too. They controlled Hong Kong and Shanghai. Although they divided it with France, and even with Japan, there wasn’t a piece of land that Britain didn’t possess. So, the most important thing is that the Queen came to Hahoe Village before she died, and she came in her old age. Look, the British Queen came here when she was old. Coming in old age is what matters.
I matured when I got older. The time I spent as a maiden is less valuable than the time I have now, right before I die. Why? Because I’m sick; would I just go anywhere? When I was young, I would just say, “Okay, I’ll go for a moment.” But now that I’m old and nearing death, would I just go anywhere? Is there a funeral to be held there? However, I would be willing to go to Hahoe Village and die there. I came here because I wanted to visit.
What do you call this color? Royal Blue. That is the British Queen’s signature color. It’s known worldwide. But wherever you go and meet people, it’s rare to see someone wearing clothes of this color. That’s why it always stands out. You know how if you wear red, people will say, “There are others wearing red”? But with that color, it’s so unique that if you see the British Queen wearing that specific color, people immediately think, “Has the British Queen arrived?” You know that kind of thing. So, she chose the color well. She made sure that when you say Royal Blue, the King of England immediately comes to mind. Is there anyone else wearing Royal Blue? If this person wore a Royal Blue hat, it means they dislike it. The British Queen dislikes it.
So, if the Queen of England is coming, you shouldn’t wear clothes like this. Would it be appropriate for the people standing next to her to be wearing clothes like that? It wouldn’t be right. It is against etiquette. The Queen’s signature color is royal blue, but the President’s wife standing next to her is wearing an outfit with that kind of collar. Would they view that country favorably? They would view it negatively. There must be something like that. Yes, I’ve included it right here, haven’t I? I’ve put it here like this, haven’t I? And now, coming to Hahoe Village to pay respects at our people’s ancestral rites and things like that—that is similar to the title of my lecture today.
That just now looked like a priest, didn’t it? What is the title of today’s lecture? It is related to this. Guess the title of today’s lecture. I said it is related to this. It is related, isn’t it? What kind of relationship could it be? What kind of relationship could it be? What kind of relationship could it be? The character for “Sa” is a bit strange. It is.
The difference between the White Palace Nameplate, the Ancestral Rite, the Ritual, and the Prayer!
It’s similar to the part about the British Queen earlier, isn’t it? The difference between the White Palace Nameplate, Cheondojae, ancestral rites, and prayers. You all need to study things like this now, too.
You must not confuse things like Cheondojae with what a nameplate is. Make sure you understand this today. When performing Cheondojae, you must not use the character ‘Je’ (祭). People think of it as the character for ‘Jesa’ (祭). It is not about performing a sacrificial rite. It is the character ‘Jae’ (齋). A sacrificial rite is a sacrificial rite. You must perform Cheondojae and then perform a sacrificial rite separately. You should not think of Cheondojae as a sacrificial rite. Cheondojae is a form of guiding your mother and father, telling them not to go down a bad path, but to go down a good path if the price is the same.
This is the ritual performed on the anniversary of passing. It is an offering made to the same spirit, but this character is not ‘Je’ (祭); it is ‘Jae’ (재). We perform a Cheondojae (ritual for guiding souls to heaven). At the temple. It is a ‘Jae.’ This is a ritual. So, does that mean you don’t perform the ritual just because you performed the Cheondojae? Here, the nameplate signifies the end of all eternal rituals for the parents. You can perform this Cheondojae multiple times in the future, but rituals must be performed countless times. You must pray countless times as well. The Baekgung nameplate is for a single time. Divine Person, then, is something like this useful or not? You all know very well. It is of no use at all. Divine Person, Cheondojae simply means, “Go to a good place.” It means, “Go to a good place.” You say you are performing a ‘Jae,’ It is not performing a ritual.
So, just because someone has performed a Cheondojae doesn’t mean they stop performing a Jesa. Therefore, Cheondojae is a custom in Buddhism. It is to comfort the departed soul. It is a prayer asking them not to go to the evil path, but to go to the good path. It is a type of prayer. A prayer offered by monks. Prayer is not a Je (ritual), but a Jae (ritual). That is why you all insist on calling Cheondojae “Cheondoje.” You must not use that terminology. Cheondojae and Jesa are different. So, regarding where your parents or ancestors go after they return, and what etiquette is involved, I learned all of that back in elementary school.
You’ve removed everything from the list of asthma. So, you’ve written prayers and tried all sorts of things. However, you don’t clearly understand these things. I’ve done a lot of this at the temple, haven’t I? I ran errands for many Cheondojae (rituals for guiding souls to the afterlife). There is nothing I haven’t done here—everything. So, I am the one handling the nameplates right now, aren’t I? This is precisely where all of these things are unnecessary. Do you think your parents, who have committed many sins, will go to a good place just because you pray? If you hadn’t met the Divine Being right now, when you ask where you would go after death, everyone would say animals. There isn’t a single person who says they would go 100% as a human. Isn’t that fascinating?
That is why I am here. Why is that? The era of becoming human has ended. Mothers and fathers who committed no sins have all gone up to the waiting room, and all living humans become animals when they die. Therefore, when new humans arrive, only those coming from the White Palace are allowed to enter. They are divine beings descending from the soul waiting room. So, can you be born as a divine being? It is impossible, isn’t it? Most of the kindest people will go as oxen, the next as pigs, and the next as dogs; everything is neatly determined. I am here in this era. That is why I ask you how scary a nameplate is. After you have your nameplate, ask once, “Where is Father?” It comes out.
Ten years ago, ten years ago, before meeting the Divine Being, before meeting the Divine Being. Can you hear me from over there? It’s about 100 meters from here, so you might not be able to hear well. Before meeting the Divine Being, before meeting the Divine Being, my mother, my mother, look closely. We aren’t fake, are we? My mother, my mother. They were alive back then. They were alive back then? Mother. The one who passed away, the one who passed away, Father, Father passed away. Passed away? Before meeting the Divine Being, my father, before meeting the Divine Being, was my father in the Heaven Waiting Room? Was he in the Heaven Waiting Room? (Doesn’t fall) He was. Hold hands and try. Jeon Chae-hee, was Father in the Heaven Waiting Room ten years ago?
So, regarding Jeon Chae-hee’s father, almost 99% of people of his age go to the Heavenly Waiting Room. However, about 1 to 2% of them entered through their own children or grandchildren. You need to know that. They enter through grandchildren or great-grandchildren and things like that, but anyway, they were in the waiting room. Since almost 99% went there. But do people these days go to the Heavenly Waiting Room? Almost none. Maybe pastors or monks, or a few others. They would enter the Heavenly Waiting Room. Most ordinary people cannot enter. Now then, after meeting the Divine Being, after meeting the Angel, did my parents, Jeon Chae-hee’s father, move from the Heavenly Waiting Room to Heaven, to the Five Hundred Palaces? To Heaven. Did he move to the Five Hundred Palaces, to the Five Hundred Palaces? (He doesn’t detach) Try taking them all out. He moved.
So, regarding this nameplate of the White Palace, its distinguishing feature is standing over there to the side. Does its movement path show up or not? Does the movement path of your father or mother show up or not? Anyone who comes to me and finds out that has become the most filial son among filial sons. How can you be hostile toward me when such a person has come? Who am I? I show you the entire map of space. I show you all the movement of space and the movement of souls, and I verify everything. Can you verify it even if it isn’t your own father? Has such a thing ever happened? This is why even the world’s richest tycoons in America cannot come here because they lack the qualifications to meet me. These are people who have abandoned their own parents.
Right now, these 8 billion people are abandoning their parents, thinking they are smart, thinking they are smart.
Then, since I’ve come, shouldn’t you have investigated quickly and sent my parents to Heaven? Are those smart guys? But is it right for someone to frame me? I mean, if I come and do this, they’ll gleefully spread it to the news all over the world. What are these Korean reporters doing? They just sit there making things up and reporting them.
I mean, the whole world was created by a God-Man, so who does it matter who a God-Man meets? It’s up to me. Then who sent your parents here to Heaven? Your mother is in Heaven right now, isn’t she? Let the hand test begin. Angel, Angel, is Jeon Chae-hee’s mother, my mother, in Heaven? Is she in the 500 Palaces of Heaven? (Doesn’t fall) She is in. She is in. You have to say 500 Palaces. Say it again: 500 Palaces, Heaven.
Jeon Chae-hee’s mother asked, “Angel, is my mother inside the 500 Palaces Heaven? Is she inside the 500 Palaces Heaven?” (She doesn’t fall) “She’s all inside. Then is this fake? Shall I show you a map of Heaven? Just like when you join the military, there are records of exactly where you went regarding the movement paths of these souls. Just like that, there are records in Heaven. I am pulling them out and showing them to you. Have you ever seen anyone like that? Space, time, distance, yes, temperature, gravity—do you have these things? You can freely go back 10 years, 20 years, even hundreds of billions of years ago, and travel through all your past lives. Have you ever seen anyone like that? And the entirety of humanity does not know where all their ancestors went. But only those who have come to the Heavenly Palace have realized this.”
Right now, imagine Bill Gates comes to the U.S. to find me and asks, “Where are my father and mother?” That would work. But for them to find out, the mass media has to sweep the entire world. Then, they all come by the back door. They arrive in private jets, and Incheon Airport is packed to the brim. Then they radio in, “Hey, pull over other planes so my plane can land here at Incheon Airport. A billionaire is coming in!” “Hey, push those pathetic guys’ planes aside!” “Oh, so many planes are coming from all over the world, there are no seats left. Pull out about 10 planes!” and they get in right away. That is how they come here to meet me. Then, if the traffic is backed up and the journey is too difficult, they have to come back in by helicopter. At that point, all the banks in the world would be gods.
What would happen if the whole world officially acknowledged that? Bill Gates sent his parents to the White Palace. Musk sent them. Trump sent them. What kind of phenomenon would occur then? It would be indescribable. The news would be covered by the entire world. And that is when the unfilial and filial children appear. They come lining up. Those who have this, those who have that, those who have this and that—they push everyone else’s cars onto the road, bulldozers them, and squeeze in. If the traffic ahead is backed up too much, one phone call will come, and a bulldozer will arrive and just push everything away. Then they’ll start spinning around, and a war will break out. The Sky Palace will turn into a battlefield.
Oh my goodness, go inside. Now, isn’t that the person over there who sent their parents to the 500-Palace Heaven? You all agree. Then what is this? There was a special amnesty period, so I sent many people from the 100-Palace to the 500-Palace this time. This is a special privilege, too. It won’t be possible in the future, but I’m doing it all for you during this period, aren’t I? That is also an amnesty period. That is possible during the current period when I give out a lot of levels. Divine Being, then, can you see this absolute power with your eyes? You can’t see it, but you can confirm it. When it comes to energy, all of humanity is the same. Did I conspire with you all? Divine Being, so regarding this… no matter how many times you perform Cheondojae, have you ever performed a Cheondojae for your parents? Anyone who has performed a Cheondojae?
Come out. Those who have performed the Cheondojae. You have all done a lot, haven’t you? Raise your hand if you have. Well, almost everyone has performed the Cheondojae. That is why Buddhism is barely holding on, thanks to the Cheondojae. It is not a Shinin Cheondoje, but a jae. It is because of that jae that we are holding on. Now, Angel, Angel, when did my father pass away? How many years has it been since you performed the Cheondojae? It has been about 20 years, 20 years. Angel, Angel, I performed the Cheondojae for my father 20 years ago. Angel, I performed the Cheondojae for my father 20 years ago. Did my father go to Paradise 20 years ago? Did he go to Paradise? Buddhism calls it Paradise. (Falls) Hold the hand of the person next to you. You know this person’s name. “20 years ago” needs to be included.
Did they go or not? Cheondojae is praying that the person does not go down a bad path, that they do not go down the evil path. So it is not a ritual. It is an act of education. That “jae” means to provide education. Do you understand what I mean? It is better to take the path this way and that, rather than going that way. It is constantly guiding them on this. Since monks in temples are fundamentally people who teach others, they have the right to teach that. That is not a bad thing. That is called prayer. It is praying for them. “May so-and-so’s father go to a good place. May the spirit not move toward a bad place.” That is what is being prayed for. That character is the character for “to pray,” not the character for “ritual.”
So, regarding my father here, back then—just 20 years ago, after my father passed away, Angel, 20 years ago… I mean, you know how we automatically use a time machine? We went back 20 years. 20 years ago, Angel, my father performed a Cheondojae (ritual for guiding spirits to the afterlife). He performed the Cheondojae, but was there any change in that spirit? Was there any change? (Falls) There wasn’t. I am someone who distributed Buddhist scriptures extensively. I taught philosophy. It’s not like the Cheondojae just appears out of nowhere. Shakyamuni’s philosophy is excellent. However, who comes to the mountains for a Cheondojae? They don’t come. They came because the Cheondojae existed. When tigers roam back and forth, and a woman carries sacks of rice to visit the temple, she is risking her life to come.
But monks aren’t supposed to sit there and eat; they’re supposed to come down, beg for food, and then go back in. Even Shakyamuni begged for food until he passed away.
That’s how it should be, but they created this ritual called Cheondojae and didn’t want to leave. They told people to come, made money, and just didn’t come out. But Shakyamuni’s disciples went around begging for alms until the day they died, living off that until they passed
away. On that day, too, he received alms for porridge, and it was mushroom porridge. But poisonous mushrooms got into it, so he ate it and went back. They said Shakyamuni died under a tree. What kind of tree did they say it was? The Twin Sal Trees? Then, where was he born when he was alive? The Bodhi Tree. So, they said Shakyamuni moved from four trees. I’ve given you a good lecture, haven’t I?
In this way, Shakyamuni also begged for alms until his passing. Even though he was 80 at the time, Shakyamuni was begging for alms at my age. He begged for alms. But did he live by performing the Cheondojae? No. Nowadays, all monks in our country performed the Cheondojae. That is why the senior monks call that very thing “karma.” They call it karmic retribution. Why do they do that out of karmic retribution? They could have just gone and begged for food. That is why religion, whether Christianity or Buddhism, has already become corrupted. That is why I have come. Religion was not created by Heaven. What I am coming to speak of is the very first thing created by Heaven. You all say religion existed. No one knows where a single parent is. Do you call it science when 8 billion people don’t know where their parents are? It is not science. We must always smile.
No matter how much I discover the truth or providence and explain it to you, you must laugh. I am making this person realize with their ears and eyes that their father has the White Palace. This is knowledge. “My father went to the White Palace.” This is knowledge. But did this person know that their father went to the White Palace? They didn’t know in the past, did they? That is because I created and explained the White Palace to you all. What is this? Is this knowledge? This is awareness. It is enlightenment. Now, realizing that one cannot enter Heaven through prayer alone, such as through rituals for the deceased or Buddhist offerings. Realizing this is enlightenment. That enlightenment.
There are two kinds of knowing: simply knowing and realizing. Knowing is simply thinking, “Oh, that person is so-and-so.” That is knowing. But imagine this: “I thought my mother was doing well because I prayed and performed ancestral rites diligently all this time, but after meeting the divine being Huh Kyung-young, I realized I was completely wrong.” What do you call this kind of realization? It is self-awareness and enlightenment. That is what we call enlightenment. Knowing is the same thing, but the difference between enlightenment and knowing is like heaven and earth. So, when he finally shows me that my father has gone to heaven, I realize it instantly. “Ah, this part isn’t effective, this one. This part really works.” That is enlightenment. Do you understand?
So, you might think that because you know about enlightenment, you already know it—that it’s something you just need to have on your phone. But that’s different. Is this kind of thing actually on a phone? No.
Everything on a phone is just knowledge. Imagine you really enjoyed grilling bulgogi on a frying pan and eating it every day. You grilled pork belly right over a fire and ate it. But then a doctor told you that eating grilled pork belly increases the risk of cancer. Did you know this or not? You didn’t know at first, but then you found out. That is enlightenment. You realized, belatedly, that to avoid cancer, you shouldn’t eat things like this. That is called enlightenment. Do you understand what enlightenment is? Therefore, the more enlightenment a person has, the more outstanding they become.
So, let’s ask where your parents are now. Angel, Angel, before my parents met the Divine Being, before my parents met the Divine Being, were my parents in the Soul Waiting Room today? Were they in the Eternal Waiting Room? (Does not fall) They were in the Soul Waiting Room, weren’t they? They didn’t go to the Beast as a human, did they? This is how, before I came, the number of people going to the human stage gradually disappeared. Almost everyone ascends. Unless they committed a great sin, everyone ascends to the White Palace Waiting Room and stops the lineage. Everyone returns to the Beast. Do you understand now? Did they enter Heaven after meeting? Angel, after my parents met the Divine Being, after the White Palace nameplate, after the White Palace nameplate, did my parents go to Heaven? (Does not fall) They went in. Now, let’s check if my parents went to Heaven.
Did Jang Chang-soon’s parents enter Heaven? They did.
So, is your discovery of the Divine Being an enlightenment or not? Meeting the Divine Being is enlightenment, isn’t it? Ah, so Heaven exists. There is the Hundred Palace Heaven. There are five Heavens. Oh my, so where does the kindest person go? They go to the Five Hundred Palace Heaven. This is what you have realized. Then today, enter. You have realized what Cheondojae and Jesa are. None of these things actually exist. These things. They comfort our wishes. They rationalize the feeling that our father has gone to a good place. It gives us peace of mind. This is effective for peace of mind. Those who do not do this feel uneasy for no reason.
But this isn’t something that leaves you feeling uneasy about true enlightenment. After doing this because people say it’s good, you feel like you’ve fulfilled your filial duty and it brings you comfort. Your mind becomes at ease. It helps with digestion. However, if you don’t do it—like a mother who attends a temple diligently but hasn’t performed a ritual for the deceased—you feel uneasy. That must be the case. Then, for whom is this done? This thing exists for themselves. For their own sake. They are trying to package their uneasy feelings as a desire to be a filial son. So, it’s like whitewashing a corpse. They’ve applied alcohol nicely. They should have sent it to heaven, but instead, they took it to hell, applied alcohol to make it white, and whitewashed it.
You roughly understand now. That is why the Nameplate is formidable. This White Palace Nameplate. The Blessing is formidable too, isn’t it? Then, this goes through something called a Blessing. Without going through the Blessing, there is no Nameplate. The Nameplate is completed only after passing through the Blessing. Then, does the level enter? Yes, it does. If you just have the Nameplate, the level won’t enter. You go to the White Palace, and there are restrictions on your life. You have to put the Nameplate down and insert the level, and then it starts moving. Good. So, regarding what the Nameplate is—it is all about your children receiving comfort. They don’t even eat ancestral rites. They went to Heaven, so would they eat the rites you offer? If you do this just once, is there anything like this? No.
So, as I came and spoke these words, the religions that were already on the verge of disappearing began to face frost. That is how things are turning out now. Why? Because there is no reason to live on that. I didn’t use that money to provide free meals at every temple. I am watching everything. The Divine Being is watching everything. When so much money came into the world, no one built a Buddhist temple to distribute it. I gave it back. Because Shakyamuni’s words are so excellent, I am the very person who spread them.
Upload the photo of me on the podium on Buddha’s Birthday. Let’s take a look at that handsome face. Presidential Candidate Huh Kyung-young, serving as an advisor to the Korean Buddhist Youth Association, was there to mark the Buddha’s birthday—it is the General Federation of Korean Buddhist Orders. It is the general federation of Buddhists in Korea. On the podium at the Yeouido venue, where a million Buddhists gathered, the person with the ‘O’ in the center is Presidential Candidate Huh Kyung-young. Venerable Chantananta, the Supreme Patriarch of Sri Lanka; Kang Seok-ju, the President of the Jogye Order; and the Representative of the Supreme Patriarch of Japanese Buddhism—these are already all prominent figures, aren’t they? With the Supreme Patriarch of Sri Lanka, the Supreme Patriarch of Japan, and the President of the Korean Buddhist Order, the entire Buddhist community is there, isn’t it? It’s just that I haven’t listed them all here. And Professor Park Wan-il, the President of the Korean Buddhist Lay Association—Professor Park Wan-il, these are also presidents of Buddhist lay associations who came from abroad.
This is the Chairman of the Japanese Buddhist Shinto Association, and this is the Supreme Patriarch of Sri Lanka. This is our country’s General Secretary, Kang Seok-ju.
Well, before he became General Secretary, I was the one distributing Buddhist scriptures during the terms of General Secretary Oh Nok-won and the one before him, Hwang Jin-kyung. It started back then. The General Secretary position has changed several times. About ten General Secretaries changed while I was in office. He’s right here, isn’t he? Why isn’t Huh Kyung-young listed here? General Secretary Oh Nok-won is the head of the military chaplain corps. In the military, there are military chaplains in every unit, just like pastors. He is the head of those chaplains. I think he is a Colonel or something like that. And the person here is the one who distributes Buddhist scriptures so extensively.
Did you buy clothes instead of visiting the Buddhist scriptures? With that money. Are the clothes really that nice? I mean, did you buy clothes with the money you used for distributing the scriptures instead of distributing them? Why do the clothes look so good? There are a lot of people here. I am right here, aren’t I? This is Venerable Byeon Mil-un. Right here. You know I am the head monk at Bongeunsa Temple in Gangnam. As for where this was taken, try zooming out the photo a little. Make sure more people show up. This is in front of the Daeungjeon Hall
at Bongeunsa Temple. There are so many people. As an advisor to the Korean Buddhist Youth Association, which commands 2 million members nationwide. There are 2 million here. My Korean Youth Association was 1 million, I suppose. So, do you see the characteristic of all these incredible people wearing name tags on their chests? These are the representative presidents from each region. The presidents of the regional Buddhist Youth Associations. There are a lot. There are many people under each of them. Only those representatives have gathered in Seoul.
Huh Kyung-young is right here. There are three people sitting in chairs, and everyone else is standing. This was before I turned 40, wasn’t it? So, do you know how much I was involved in Buddhist and Christian activities? I haven’t talked about this before, but I am talking about it now. If you look at these people, they are wearing something. If you look at their chests, they are wearing name tags like this. Chairman Bae is wearing one too, isn’t he? I’m wearing one here. Everyone has to wear them like this. There is no one who isn’t wearing one. Everyone is wearing one. If you look here, even the women are wearing them on their t-shirts, like this. Everyone is wearing one here. Everyone is wearing one. What is this one wearing? So, they are all chairmen. They are chairmen, regional chairmen. This person is a university professor, I think. Everyone is a chairman, and the chairman is a university professor. Gangnam Bong Eunsa—so whenever there is any issue with Buddhism, I go there and stand at the center.
Take a look at me wearing a nice suit earlier. Do you see the cake here? This isn’t a gathering just anyone is invited to. And right now, I’m here at the Korean Buddhist Association, aren’t I? I’m not affiliated with this lay association. I’m the president of the Youth Association and the Volunteer Association, but I just came here on my own. I came here to do this, and these people are all Buddhist believers gathered here. The presidents of the lay associations have gathered. This is Oh Nok-won, the General Secretary. It’s quite an old photo. But this is Song Chun-hee, isn’t it? Song Chun-hee. Is this the female president of the Buddhist lay association? Well, they are all powerful people, and the one characteristic is that they all have good physiognomy. The physiognomy here is good, isn’t it? This was when Ms. Song Chun-hee was young, too.
But I am the only one standing in front of the mirror. Why would I be standing in front of a mirror? What do you think this mirror is? Why would I be standing in front of it? What is the background behind me? The aurora is behind me. When light reflects, light shines out. I am standing in front of a reflective mirror, aren’t I? Standing in front of that mirror isn’t a coincidence either. Is there some kind of glass standing behind these people? Is there a big shot? So, this photo is also just a coincidence that I am standing in a good spot. This event that day was held because of this person: the founding of the Military Chaplain Corps. The founding of the Military Chaplain Corps. It was the first time a Military Chaplain Corps was established within the Jogye Order. From that time on, chaplains began serving in the military. Monks went out, and temples were established in every division, and in every temple and every division. From that time on, and I sent Buddhist scriptures. So, I am someone who was involved in the history of Buddhism when it began to flourish.
It is the founding ceremony of the Military Chaplain Corps. It features Oh Nok-won, the President of the Jogye Order, and Lee Yang-gil, the first Commander of the Military Chaplain Corps. Look, he is the first Commander. There was no one like him before. As the first Commander, numerous officers serve as monks within the military under his command. They wear military uniforms, but he acts as a military chaplain, just like the uniform itself, managing the military temples. I was there when this system began. Now, let’s move on. Let’s move this aside and get our circle to appear on the screen. So, what I have written here today is the Cheondojae. Then, how did the character for “thousand” end up looking so messy while being written? I don’t know how it was written, but it just ended up looking that messy as I was writing it.
It is Cheondo. So, I told you that story today. If the Divine Being were fake, could they really do things like spiritually sending people to Heaven? If I hadn’t met the Divine Being, if I hadn’t met the Divine Being, my parents would be in the Heaven waiting room right now. Are they in the Heaven waiting room right now? (Doesn’t fall) That’s right. If I hadn’t met my parents, if I hadn’t met the Divine Being, if I hadn’t met the Divine Being, if I hadn’t met the Divine Being, could I go to Heaven after I die? Could I go to Heaven? No, I couldn’t. This is an established fact.
If I hadn’t met you, Angel, if I hadn’t met the Divine Being, if I hadn’t met you and died, if I had died, would I go as a beast? Because I would go as a beast? (Does it not fall) That’s accurate. You go as a beast, but do you go as a cow? Angel, if I died without meeting the Divine Being, would I be born as a cow? Would I go as a cow among beasts? Would I be born as a cow among beasts? (Does it not fall) No. Would I be born as a bull among beasts? Would I be born as a bull among beasts? (Does it not fall) The reason you are born as a bull is that while the karma is on the lighter side, the karma of a bull is still heavier. Look, you see, cows aren’t usually sent to the slaughterhouse. Because they give birth to calves. They provide reproduction, but with males, they fatten them up and kill them quickly.
Yeah, you only need one or two real breeding bulls in the village. Most people raise cows. So, the bull owner lives in the village with his head held high. Phone calls come in. It’s not really a phone call; it’s more like news. “Oh, could you lend me a bull today?” they say. If he says okay, that guy goes around every day driving his bull from house to house to mate it.
But, Divine Being, right before this, I asked why since Yu Gwan-sun did a good deed?
Even so, that is how it is. But even for someone like Yu Gwan-sun, it is still like that. So, going by ox is the highest class among animals. It is actually a top class. Since tigers are almost non-existent, you cannot go by them. That is why I have never seen anyone go by tiger. Do you understand now?
Since tigers are nearly extinct, people in Siberia must have a connection with them. There has to be some kind of incident where they were eaten or something like that. They had to be entangled with tigers. But I saw a lot of cows. They go to become cows, but they go to become cows, and they go as males to become meat cattle. They are simply born as cows, and when they are born, go to the slaughterhouse, and die, they go back into the cow cycle. This cycle repeats tens of millions of times.
Here, singer Shin Seong-il is also a male
They say it goes to the bull. So the singer singing here is also a bull. Most of you will end up as a bull when you try it, but the person who goes to the pig is someone of a lower class.
Angel, among those who have come to the Heavenly Palace, if they hadn’t met the Divine Being, are there more people destined to become oxen than pigs? No, are there more people destined to become pigs than those destined to become oxen after death? (They don’t fall) There are many. Almost everyone here is destined to become an ox when they die. That is why they came to meet me. Isn’t it unbelievable? You cannot pass through humans. But meeting me means that you met me when your destiny was to become an ox. Do you understand what it means to be an ox up to the stage of going to Heaven? It is a high stage. That is why it is called Seongsan Seongji Umyeongji. This is the place where the ox’s voice cries out. Then, shouldn’t we gather the herds of oxen? These are the herds of oxen that have reached the highest position. The herds of oxen are gathered here right now. So, you are sending these herds of oxen to Heaven.
So, the perfection of a human is the cow. Does that come out or not? The character for cow (우) is in the word for sacrifice. And isn’t it called Woomyeongji for everything? Isn’t it called Wooseongjae? The sound of a cow mooing spreads across the field. It is the character for cow (우), and this is the character for sound (성). It is Wooseongjae.
Ox’s voice in the field
So, the sound of a cow mooing spreads across the fields. So, if you become a cow, it is over; but if you die, you keep repeating the cow cycle until God comes, at which point you become Kantec. Understood? However, it is difficult for people who have become cats, dogs, or pigs to meet me. That is why, out of these 8 billion, only about 10 million who have become cows are seeing me. That is why I am here. Is it good or not? So, everyone, the reason I have come is to select the 10 million people who have become cows and are qualified to go to Heaven.
But you all came looking for me. Find me, everyone. It would probably be safer to go inside and sit down. So, the One who shows all spiritual things with the eyes is here. When I came as Jesus, wasn’t I lacking? Of course I was. I couldn’t communicate with the entire world completely, and I couldn’t fix Trump in the U.S. or things like that. But do I have distance? Do I have space? Do I have time? Say, “Go back to the past.” Go back a few decades. It is at my will. I appear instantly. I do not exist in the present. Then you become slaves to time and cannot escape the present. You escape when I give a command. “Go back to being 30 years old.” “Go back 20 years.” If I say that, you go. Now you see. So, regarding which world the Divine Man is in, if you think of me simply as an instructor, you are greatly mistaken.
You are the one who has come to herd cattle, hearing the sound of a cow’s moo. The field is the Earth. The “Jaeya” is the Earth. Isn’t this field the Earth? You have come to the field to find the sound of a cow’s moo. Can you hear the sound of a cow mooing over there? This is where the cows gather. Now, I will send you to Heaven. Listen to this sound of a cow’s moo. This is the Sky Palace. This is the sound of a cow’s moo. Can a human make this fake? Look, look, the people who recorded this sound of a cow’s moo are the believers who came to the Sky Palace. We didn’t record it. I didn’t record it because I hear it so much. But let’s look at the photos of the people who came here and are recording. These are the ones who recorded it. They were shocked. The rocks are trembling. You can see how much the sound resonates. The sound has vibrations. It’s scary, isn’t it?
This place where you can hear the sound of a cow mooing is called Umyeongji. Umyeongji. A place where you hear the sound of a cow mooing is called Umyeongji. Where is this Umyeongji?
Woomyeongjiji (牛鳴之地)
I’m telling you, this Umyeongjiji is the Heavenly Palace. This Umyeongjiji is our Heavenly Palace. The divine being, Useongjae, comes there. That is why this place is a fearsome and sacred spot. That is why you all do not perform ancestral rites. What is there to worry about? That is one of our fine customs.
What do we call those fine customs and traditions? From the Eight Virtues of our nation. From the Eight Great Virtues of the nation, what do we call those fine customs and traditions? The Eight Great Virtues of the nation. We have the Eight Great Virtues of our nation. I mean, there are these eight virtues. What is included in the Eight Great Virtues?
The Eight Great Virtues:
Filial Piety, Fraternal Love, Loyalty, Trustworthiness, Propriety, Righteousness, Integrity, and Shame
So, this is filial piety. Then there’s loyalty. And trustworthiness—here, there must be propriety. This righteousness is ancestral rites. Regarding rites of passage—marriage, funeral, and ancestral worship—we call them rituals. If you attach these to this, doing it the other way around makes it etiquette, and doing it the other way makes it ritual. Then, etiquette and ritual are like two different worlds.
These rituals are Gwanhonsangje, marriage, ancestral rites, and ceremonies. So, regarding these four—Gwanhonsangje—holding a funeral and performing ancestral rites are the final ones. When a person dies, it is called Gwanhonsangje; when they are born, it is called Gwan. Then comes marriage, then funeral, and then ancestral rites. For our people, it doesn’t end with the funeral. Ancestral rites are attached to it. So, for us, it includes Sa-je-sa-sa-sa-je. Gwanhonsangje—what is Gwanrye? It includes Honrye. There are four of these rituals. How many are there? Four. Do you understand? If there are four, it follows through. Rituals.
Then, what is the ‘Yeom’ (廉) in ‘Yeui’? ‘Chi’ (恥) means shame. So, among the four virtues of filial piety, fraternity, loyalty, and trustworthiness—Yeuiyeomchi—where does this ‘this’ (ancestral rite) fit in? It fits into righteousness. It fits into filial piety. It fits into both filial piety and righteousness. The ancestral rite itself is filial piety. People view it this way: if you don’t perform the rite, it isn’t filial piety. However, in reality, having met a divine being, is this necessary? You don’t have to perform the rite that is contained within this. Now, just like how Buddhists used to perform the Cheondojae (ritual for guiding souls to heaven) in the past to make temples flourish, was that actually realized? Since it wasn’t, fewer and fewer people went to the temples. So, monks have to go the extra mile to make a living in the future. Once the temple’s finances are exhausted, what happens? They will come out and live by alms-gathering. Otherwise, they will come to me. Then it is the end.
So, regarding these 8 things, what are actually the other 8 things?
Sincerity, faith, love, saving misfortunes, and blessings in return.
Holy Spirit. So, these four things—Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, Love for the Lord—and then this is Harmony. It’s set up like this, isn’t it? In that case, this is an equation. What does the word “equation” mean? What do you mean by “equation”? Why do you call an equation an equation? What is an equation? Do you not know what an equation is?
Equation
Remember the equation. What is a specific unknown? It’s X.
X
What do you have to do with a specific unknown to make it an equation? You assign a specific value to the specific unknown. You give it a value called X. It is an equation that holds true only when that value is given.
Then it’s very easy. X minus 1 is 1.
X – 1 = 1
X = 2
So, how much is this? What is X? X is 2. This is an equation. So, something has been added here. An equation has been given. Then, something has been applied to this specific equation. But if there is just 1 there, you can figure this out. Oh, X minus 1 has been set. So the answer is 1. Then X must be 2. We call this equation an equation. It comes from mathematics. So, we have to substitute this mathematical equation here. We have to try substituting it here. Then, in loyalty, sincerity, faith, love, harmony, blessings, and retribution must also be included. If you do not observe these, disasters come, and you also receive blessings and retribution. So, you have to substitute these eight things here.
Also, regarding my character, this part refers to friendship. Friendship requires sincerity. There must be trust. All of these must be present. Eight things must go in here as well. Eight things must go in here as well. This, so to speak, is X. Why is it that as we write X? This becomes X. I mean that if you substitute this, the answer comes out. So, we call this specific value X. We have put a specific value here. That is X. Then, an equation appears from here. What kind of equation will come out?
Seongsin, what comes out of here? What is this? It’s compassion.
Filial piety, fraternity, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame;
sincerity, trustworthiness, love, saving lives, blessings, and retribution;
measuring righteousness and
expressing it as such; benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom.
This is the heart of humility, isn’t it? It’s the heart of humility, isn’t it? What is this? The heart of shame. The heart of humility shouldn’t come out first here. If it does, it won’t form an equation. The heart of shame must come out here. You understand the heart of shame. This is the heart of humility. Do you understand? The heart of humility. What is here? The heart of discernment. This is how this becomes an equation. This, this must all be attached here. They must all be attached for the answer to come out. You know what I mean. The heart of compassion, the heart of shame, the heart of humility, and the heart of discernment must be attached here for that to become an equation. So, what else gets attached here? If we change this guy into other words, it becomes benevolence. This becomes righteousness. This becomes propriety. Humility is propriety. This heart of discernment requires wisdom. Understood? Then it becomes like this.
Then dozens of these go down. It’s not really practical for me to write them all on the blackboard here. So, what is benevolence? The heart of compassion is benevolence—loving. The heart of shame requires distinguishing good from evil through righteousness. Next, the heart of deference is propriety—propriety. What about the heart of discernment? It is wisdom, because you have to distinguish between right and wrong. Then, these words must be inserted here, one by one. Only then can I ask myself, “What answer am I seeking there? What answer should I seek here?” It is becoming a human being. However, in reality, that is a wrong statement.
X = Human
It means becoming a human. You become a human. Got it? So, if this X goes in, what comes out? You become a human.
That specific value is where a person emerges. So, if we substitute that equation into it, it turns out exactly the same. Therefore, you must study Classical Chinese entirely through equations. Take calculus and ask yourself, “What is that X?” This is calculus. It is calculus, isn’t it? You don’t know what it is, do you? You use this calculus to find the actual value. Do you understand what I mean? So, using this thing, using these calculus, humans discover something. This is a mathematical formula. When learning Classical Chinese, you apply mathematical formulas and study from a young age. You delve deeply into it. This is calculus itself.
So, then we get benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom. What does it become if we go further down? What does it become if we go even further down?
Filial piety, fraternity, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame;
sincerity, trustworthiness, love, saving lives, and repaying misfortune and blessings;
measuring righteousness and expressing righteousness;
benevolence
, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom; origin, prosperity, benefit, and integrity;
spring, summer, autumn, and winter;
benefiting humanity;
birth, growth, decline, storage;
creation, dwelling, decay, and emptiness;
joy, anger, love, and pleasure;
birth, old age, sickness, and death.
It becomes Wonhyeong-i-jeong. If you write it here and there, this one becomes Wonhyeong-i-jeong again, doesn’t it? If the Wonhyeong-inhyeong goes down further, something else will surely appear. Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter appear. Love is this heart of compassion. What is love? It is a warm heart. This is righteousness, and this heart of shame—what is it? What kind of heart is it? A hot heart. It is having a burning, passionate heart for the nation. That would be Ha. What is this? You have to be cool-headed. This is Chu. And what is Jeong—being upright? It is winter. Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. This goes down endlessly.
As we go down, regarding these eight great virtues of our nation, what comes out at the end when all of this is combined? There will probably be four more. There will be four. If there are four, what does it appear as here? A bow comes out. A person shooting an arrow appears. Hongik Ingan appears, doesn’t it?
Hongik Ingan, Saengjang
Yeomjang,
Seongju Gwaegong, Hee-no-a-rak,
Saeng-ro
-byeong-sa
If Hongik Ingan appears, what does it descend to next? The equation descends endlessly. Hongik Ingan. Jaeseihwa will appear. That is contained within Hongik Ingan. Hongik Ingan and Jaeseihwa contain all of that. What will appear next? It’s simple. East, West, South, and North are included. Then there will be Saengjangyeomjang. Then there is Seongjugwaegong. So, Saengjangyeomjang is contained here, and Saengjangyeomjang is contained here. Saengjangyeomjang is contained here, and Saengjangyeomjang is contained here. Saengjangyeomjang is contained here, and the last character for Saengjangyeomjang is the character for ‘jang’. It means to be born and grow. It would be written like the character for ‘conceal’ (藏).
Then, you stay in the castle. The character for “dweller” (住) was written incorrectly. So, “Castle, Dweller, Grow, Empty” (成主癸空) will appear. That is how the equation is solved. Grow, Grow, Empty. It continues endlessly like this. This is called an equation. If you keep going, the answer to everything comes out. Castle, Dweller, Grow, Empty. What comes next? Equations will keep appearing. Hundreds of them come out in succession. I can’t write them all down, but you learn all of this through equations in elementary school.
So, do you think I would do something that commits sin? What I do is not sin. I am someone who is dissecting your sins. What you are doing is sin. Would anyone analyze what a God-Man does with a strange look? This providence of heaven cannot be seen with the eyes of truth. You can realize providence with the eyes of truth, but it is difficult for you to judge it accurately. That is why angels are helpful. Regarding the God-Man, it is simple: if you ask the God-Man, “If your actions so far have gone awry, is there anything that violates the laws of heaven?” the answer comes out clearly. It says there isn’t. It comes out like this. Then, if you ask, “Is there anything in this world that does not belong to the God-Man?” he says there isn’t. He says everything is his. But to you, if I were to ask, “Are all the things in this world mine?” What a ridiculous thing to say. My hand would just drop.
So, would a divine being have anything they covet? Oh my, I have an object like this. Once upon a time, an old man went to the mountains to weed a field. He dug with his hoe, but the hoe wouldn’t dig through the soil. “That’s strange. Why is this happening?” He dug, and a large stone came out. Wondering if there had been a stone like this in the field or if he had missed something, he looked at the spot where he had struck with the hoe, and it was flashing brightly. It was a lump of pure gold. Thinking it was strange, he dug deeper, and beneath the rock, there were thousands of such lumps of pure gold buried in the ground. Now, there was a man who had come there to work for a day. He had come to weed the field, but the entire field was gold, wasn’t it? It was a gold mine. He had expected to find only stones, but upon closer inspection, he realized they weren’t stones at all, but lumps of gold embedded deep beneath.
The field owner always thought it was just a stone and threw it around, completely unaware. But since the hoe struck it, the gold was glittering. This guy discovered it. So he went to the field owner and asked him to sell the field. The owner asked, “What do you intend to do with that field?” but he replied, “I’ll give you whatever you ask.” The gold wasn’t even worth a tiny bit. It wasn’t even worth a single don (unit of weight). He immediately went and sold his thatched house, realizing that his entire fortune was worth less than a don of gold. Then his wife started arguing and ranting about him selling the house. “Where are we going to live?” she asked. “What plan do you have after selling the house?” he replied. “Don’t worry, honey. We’ll find a way to live after selling the house.” So he sold the house, and his wife was furious. “Sell it and trade the house for that field.” How foolish is that field owner? To the one who realized there was gold in that field—that is true enlightenment.
You met a divine being and discovered a gold mine. So, can you swap it with your husband? If your wife sells the house, you’re on your own. Let’s get a divorce. Or, “Honey, I’m fine with a divorce, just sell it.” Would that work? How could you possibly swap it with anything? You can’t exactly tell this wretched wife, can you? If she goes to the landowner and tells him, it could cause a huge mess. If he says something like, “Okay, let’s share it,” the man gets cast aside. Since the house is on the market until everything is bought, she picks fights all the time. So, should you endure it during that time or not? Your wife picks fights all the time. “Why do you want to sell the house? You don’t need to know that. Just stay put.” That is the proper way to handle it. But instead, she threatens to separate and picks fights because you won’t reveal this information. If you do separate, that woman ends up penniless. If you just endure a little longer, will you become rich or not? You will become rich.
So, anyone who picks a fight over something that came to a Divine Person is giving up on a gold mine. They have encountered a golden gold mine. In such cases, even if you sell your wife, your house, and everything else, you can bring everything back later.
If you go to Heaven, receive blessings, and are given a nameplate, that husband will be right beside you when you go to Heaven later. It becomes like this: “Go live your life as you please.” But even if they don’t know this and just pick a fight, you must endure it.
Understood? If I were to tell my wife the details of this, she would definitely throw away all my milk and pick a fight. That is a gold mine, but she doesn’t realize it. Where did you see the gold mine? You met it at the Heavenly Palace. The Divine Person. This Divine Person is something that cannot be bought even with gold buried in the earth.
I am telling you to realize this. You have realized it. That is true enlightenment. Things like, “Oh, this is good for diabetes,” or “This is good for heart disease,” are not true enlightenment. That is enlightenment for my physical body. That is not true enlightenment of the universe. It is a high-level, materialistic enlightenment. This metaphysical, transcendental enlightenment of the universe—this is the enlightenment I am talking about right now. No matter how many philosophy professors from our country, or from around the world, come here, or how many religious studies professors come, can they stand a chance against me? If they talk to me, can it be a game of truth? No matter how many PhDs in mathematics or physics come here to solve math and physics problems, can they keep up with me? They cannot. That is a method of calculation used by humans.
I am the equation, and I just spoke of this equation here. I spoke of calculus right here. This calculus called X is actually a divine being. So, you humans, bound to things like this while knowing nothing. What is this? Is this the same as this? I am telling you to realize that it is heaven and earth. What is that field of dirt? I went to work there for a day, and there was a jewel in that field of dirt. That field of dirt is the Heavenly Palace. But when I went there and scraped the ground with a hoe, the face of a divine being appeared. This is the gold of gold and the diamond of diamonds. Wow, this isn’t just used on Earth. You use it on Earth, and then you use it in the White Palace as well. You cannot take the rest of this. You cannot take that gold nugget, but the divine being can go.
You can meet them even after you go, so meet them here and then go. So, when you are dying, you will have this thought. If you just close your eyes, you can meet the Divine Being without a hitch. If you just breathe quickly, you will meet the Divine Being right away, so why is it so hard to get there? Why does this ache so much? If you just endure this a little longer, the Divine Being will appear. You will already see them in the very split second that your breath passes. The Divine Being—so it doesn’t give you even a second of anxiety. It starts appearing right around the time you breathe your last. Is that good or not? Even so, you shouldn’t commit suicide. The Divine Being—so I explained it to you like a farmer weeding rice, but you will realize it now. You cannot attain enlightenment with things like this.
You have now clearly learned that performing Cheondojae a thousand or ten thousand times, holding ancestral rites, and praying does not mean your parents will say, “Oh, Mother, please take me to Heaven.” That is absolutely preposterous, isn’t it? So, those who defected and left halfway without even listening to this lecture to the end—can an airplane flying to America or a satellite flying to Mars ever return? They cannot get back on board. They have already passed the stop. The space station. This satellite does not stop at any other star while traveling. It goes straight to Heaven. The lectures of the Divine Man Huh Kyung-young may seem trivial, but I am delivering lectures that do not exist in this world. I am the only person in South Korea who, as a child, used calculus to solve Chinese characters like this.
You understand. Filial piety, fraternity, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, shame, and all these things—sincerity, benevolence, love, and friendship, and the retribution of fortune and misfortune. All of these things were strictly followed in the correct order from a young age, and every action was controlled. Is this the kind of person who would go around hurting or harassing just anyone, or drinking indiscriminately out of greed? So, is it acceptable to frame this person and claim they committed some crime?
I can see exactly how those public officials’ futures will turn out. They don’t know who I am. They have no sense of right from wrong. Even if they are blinded by immediate success, once you go up, it is nothing. They need to meet a divine being. No, the public officials who should be giving me medals for developing this region, educating many people, providing free meals, various rural volunteer activities, distributing temples and Bibles, and doing things like umbrella volunteering aren’t giving me medals. Instead, those damn media outlets aren’t promoting any of that; instead, they are sitting there promoting what those thieves are putting forward.
You must be dumbfounded. However, I only speak this way; I harbor no emotion. With what heart do I look upon them? Is it compassion? You must be viewing them with a sense of shame, humility, and discernment. But in the end, justice prevails. You will inevitably receive your retribution through the principle of justice. Therefore, we must not act foolishly. You must realize who the Divine Man is. “Ah, I hoeed this field, and a Divine Man named Huh Kyung-young has rolled into the Police Agency.
Oh my, this is the time. Let me at least see his face.” Isn’t that how it should be? “Is there anyone who has done so much service? Oh my, let me at least meet him.” Shouldn’t the higher-ups chase after me while I’m under investigation and say, “Oh my, you’re going through a lot of trouble. We will clear up the misunderstandings quickly”?
But you think, “Let’s frame someone and use Huh Kyung-young to get ahead?” Does that work? Do you understand what awaits you? You must keep in mind that justice will prevail. You must not confront a divine being with limited common sense. Where are your parents, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, and great-great-grandfathers? With just a single word from me, they could all go to heaven or stay where they are. If they harbor resentment forever, will their descendants prosper? If public officials frame a divine being now, their descendants will understand without being told. You must realize this. Do not take a divine being too lightly.
You are currently employing a strategy of feigning ignorance, aren’t you? You make songs for kids and lift your legs and stuff. Can just anyone lift a leg? Only a divine being can do that. Others can’t even hold it up because it is too difficult. I have even fallen backward while lifting my leg, but I just lifted it anywhere… Now, regarding today’s nameplate, can it be compared to a memorial service, a ritual, or a prayer? Can it be compared to any religion? This has reached a trans-religious level. It means it has transcended all dimensions. This video will remain on Earth forever. By watching this video, this video of mine, you will see that a divine being is not someone who just goes around having fun all the time or meeting women. I don’t know what I delved into deeply in my youth, but I simply thought, “Since Shakyamuni’s words are excellent, I must spread the scriptures.”
When I was buying the remaining house, I saw that and bought those expensive items, and the cost of distributing them is considerable.
Whether I send them by house stamp or by parcel, the shipping cost is as much as the price of the books. Because the books are heavy. I did all of that with my eyes closed, and I never ate a proper meal even once a day. Whenever I went to my kitchen, there was just cold rice and one side dish. That was all. Eating that, I always did that work alone in my room, distributing the food. Then I ran for president. Even when I ran for president, who would cook for me? I cooked for myself and went out to campaign. Even when I came here, I cooked for myself at first.
You guys are helping out a bit these days, but… I am someone who brought hardship upon myself. If you try to shift the blame onto that person, won’t Heaven be watching from the White Palace? They might succeed right now, but you need to worry about their descendants. Also, if I talk about it tomorrow, I’ll tell you another somewhat interesting story tomorrow, Sunday, so you need to make sure I keep to the schedule. Play that today. Let’s listen to the sound. Let’s listen to that. I made sure there was no fire in Hahoe Village. When I received a call from people in Andong saying there was a fire in Hahoe Village, I told them, “Oh, don’t let the fire enter Hahoe Village.” It uses the character for fire and the character for return. I just made it Hahoe Village. They said there was a fire in Andong’s Hahoe Village and that fire was coming, so I told them, “Ah, don’t let that Hahoe Village burn,” didn’t I?
So I just left the character for fire there like this.
Fire Return
I mean, the fire at Hahoe returns. I told everyone it wouldn’t burn, and they all avoided it. Hahoe—you understand. Uh, well, actually, that place is where the water returns, but I ordered the fire to return too. And about ten of my supporters’ houses in Andong didn’t burn down. We don’t have the video, but play the voice recorder. The Prime Minister went to Andong. He went to Hahoe Village. Someone told me what Prime Minister Han Duck-soo said—whatever it was—so let’s listen to it.
The Divine Being told us not to burn it, but it didn’t. So, that firefighter who puts out fires—yesterday, over there, over there, for some reason—was walking around with Prime Minister Han when he came down. I was walking all the way here in Cheongsong with him. This is a firefighter from Andong City, right there. I saw on YouTube via KakaoTalk that President Huh Kyung-young said, “Do not let the cultural heritage in Hahoe Village burn.” He was saying that it is completely clean. He was telling Prime Minister Han that. We walked together. Governor Lee Cheol-woo, Kwon Seong-dong, and everyone else—we walked together like this.
Now, as I was walking over and coming out, it was like this. The firefighters were returning from behind and stopped with the Prime Minister, and they came closer and said exactly that. So I added from the side, “That is correct. Just yesterday, our Divine Being Huh Kyung-young was actually worried about the Sky Palace, so he said that he gave energy to Hahoe Village and told them not to burn down the Folklore Pavilion in Andong.”
They say that one of the city hall employees watched a lot of YouTube videos.
He even took care of that. Judging by the Prime Minister’s response, he knows. He knows about the energy. So, he came to Cheongsong, and you know Daejeon? At the foot of Mt. Juwang, right at the entrance, the fire started burning but stopped. So, almost all the monks know about our divine being. They say, “It is amazing that the fire didn’t burn here.” Since the Prime Minister is good at joking, he says, “It didn’t burn because there is someone in heaven who gave all that energy.” You heard that. And the County Governor of Cheongsong is also a friend of ours.
So, they were staring at me. They know I walk around holding that Huh Kyung-young sign. So, they were looking at me. While I was boiling noodles and doing all that in the kitchen, the middle-aged women in Daejeon—amazingly enough—were about to take the train but didn’t. And they say all this energy comes from the heavens. That Prime Minister Han. He was actually quite good at telling jokes. I found it so funny. I thought, “Wow, they are really realizing this through this opportunity.” Now, those people, especially the public officials, need to come to a realization one by one. Oh, so that’s why I filmed that YouTube video. It was very effective. You told them not to go to Haho Village this time. So, they didn’t take the train cleanly. They took it in a circle, and not a single one of them took it cleanly.
It’s not over yet. It’s not over yet, is it? You haven’t finished everything, have you? Are you done? Do a little more. You need to wrap up that story.
So, those who haven’t experienced it don’t know.
I’m telling you, that divine being said so. Hahoe Village is a no-go. He told me this several times, every single day. He said I shouldn’t ride there.
You know, three years ago, when the fire broke out right in front of our house in Andong? Even though everything around it burned down, only my father’s grave and our house remained untouched. It’s a tiled-roof house, you know. And to top it all off, it’s my mother’s house. But regarding that photo you sent earlier… it hasn’t been that long since I bought it. That photo shows that the fire didn’t burn. However, strangely enough, out of seven houses, about six—that is, about five houses—burned. It burned all the way to the interior. But the lady right in front, the one who asked me to take her with me when we go to Haneulgung next time—only the ridge and the shell burned. I told her I would take her with me when we all go up together next time. So she agreed. Oh my, that’s good news. I’m delivering this to you.
So, regarding the person who was sent to the Sky Palace and asked to go with them, they say only their shell burned. That person’s house didn’t burn. So, while traveling with the Prime Minister, people were telling him that story—even the firefighters. Isn’t it amazing that they are talking about all of that, saying Mr. Huh Kyung-young did it? Then, when they went to the temple, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo said, “Oh, you should know that the fire didn’t burn because there is someone giving energy from heaven.” Isn’t it interesting? Rumors are spreading all over the place because of this fire.
You mean Ms. Kim Jin-ah from Cheongsong? So, there are several households that didn’t get on board like this. We received a lot of calls. So, my name or my photo has an influence. It’s not just an ordinary photo. It’s practically the same as me being there. When you go to heaven later, you need to have my photo with you. You just need to hold onto my photo. You need to hold onto my photo like this or attach it to your body when you go. Then your heart will feel secure, and angels will be clinging to you, both black and white. The suffering of escaping the six senses as a divine being—the suffering of birth, aging, sickness, and death—is completely different from that of other people.
So, just as you are about to lose consciousness, you see it. You see the White Palace. You see a divine being. So, your heart is instantly at ease, you hear music, and a scent begins to emanate. The fragrance of flowers begins to rise. And then, you all return. Yesterday, what did that young man ask you? So, I told you that beauty is the most beautiful thing in the world, and the human body cannot be compared to a flower. Among us women, those whose bodies emit a floral fragrance are all nobles. The lower a woman’s rank, the different her scent is. That is why humans are the greatest flowers. Even in old age. Humans are completely flowers. You cannot imagine how beautiful a woman is. But then, a mother is even more beautiful.
So, we are ruining the most beautiful bodies. We are being greedy. We don’t eat properly and things like that. You have no idea how beautiful a body can be if you take good care of it. It is simply like having a flower garden inside your heart. You must fill your head with a beautiful palace. Then, your body will become completely beautiful. It doesn’t matter how old you get. I mean, the body. It is incredibly beautiful. Is there a flower more beautiful than the body? No. That is why only humans can cultivate flowers. Only humans can pick flowers. So, having these eyes, nose, and mouth is amazing. But next time, if you haven’t met me, what do you think of me? Put this cow’s head inside, a cow’s head. How frustrating is that? There is no guarantee. Once you go down the cow path, there is no guarantee of return. I’m telling you, there is no guarantee of coming back.
Every single day, you have to go to the slaughterhouse, get electrocuted, and die again. Then you open your eyes and find yourself back in the womb. It’s like, “Come here, come here, cow.” It’s a constant repetition. And even when it comes to eating, they just tell you, “Hey, eat and gain some weight quickly. We need to sell you to the slaughterhouse soon.” So what is the point of eating? You eat to die. To sell you for a high price. Is there any affection there? No. They just sit there thinking, “Why isn’t this cow gaining weight? Should we slaughter it and eat it right away?” So, you are people sharpening axes—people sharpening axes, trying to grasp the axe with an axe. Humans are people sharpening axes. Holding those blood-stained axes. Right in front of me, while I hide and try to save our cow, they have the cow’s head tied up. They are people sharpening axes on a whetstone. Isn’t that scary?
And I wondered why they were sharpening the axe, but they were using it to cut through bones. They said they were cutting through the bones. That’s why they said they had to sharpen the axe. Wow, I was hiding while they were sharpening it.
But when I tried to untie the cow and escape, its neck was tied so tightly that I couldn’t even untie it. Yet there were three people there. They wouldn’t even leave. They were just sitting right next to the cow, sharpening it with an axe. I mean, I had to get away so I could drive the cow away. But in the end, I hit the cow on the head and it died. It bled profusely as it died, and seeing that scene made me lose all affection for my hometown. So they kicked me out to Seoul. There’s a reason for all of that, isn’t there? By ultimately killing the cow and witnessing that blood, I came to Seoul. But when I arrived, it was swarming with cows everywhere.
When I came to the Sky Palace, it was swarming with cows. So, while that cow is truly pitiful, you are still the cows that didn’t go to the slaughterhouse. You have come to me now. I am telling you, you are the cows being led to Heaven.
Thank you, Divine Being.
