2015.02.07 962 초심과 발심의 진리복과 덕의 진리

dv 불교 용어(사바세계(娑婆世界), 피안(彼岸), 극락세계, 찬, 예토, 정토, 보살 등) 및 기독교 용어(천국 등)에 대한 기본적인 이해가 있다면 좋다.

1. 사바세계와 극락세계 이해

사바세계(娑婆世界): 여자를 중심으로 돈과 명예를 쫓는 세상으로, 모래성을 쌓는 것과 같이 덧없고 고통스러운 지옥과 같은 세상이다.
불교에서는 이를 ‘찬(濁)’이라고 부르며, 지옥 같은 세상으로 비유한다.
또한, ‘예토(穢土)’ 즉 더러운 땅이라고도 표현한다.
극락세계: 사바세계(娑婆世界)의 반대 개념으로, 우리가 지향해야 할 이상적인 세계이다.
찬의 반대는 ‘피안(彼岸)’이며, 예토의 반대는 ‘정토(淨土)’이다.
지옥의 반대는 ‘낙원(樂園)’이며, 탁한 세상인 ‘오탁악세(五濁惡世)’의 반대는 ‘천국(天國)’이다.

2. 복과 덕의 진리

복(福): 삼세(과거, 현재, 미래) 동안 행한 선행에 대한 인과응보로, 자신이 받는 것이다.
복을 누리기만 하면 죄(罪)로 변할 확률이 높다.
복은 덕을 이기지 못한다.
덕(德): 자신에게 온 복을 남에게 베푸는 것이다.
덕을 쌓는 자는 복을 구하지 않으며, 덕은 복보다 상위 개념이다.
덕은 공덕(功德), 음덕(陰德), 언덕(言德)으로 나눌 수 있으며, 공덕을 짓는 것.
덕은 하늘에 상달되는 유일한 길이다.

3. 초심과 발심의 중요성

초심(初心): 복을 받고자 하는 욕심과 탐욕에 물든 마음이다.
발심(發心): 진리를 깨닫고 선행을 베풀고자 하는 결심이다.
발심은 ‘발 안욕따라 삼약삼보리 살심(發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心)’의 줄임말로, 모든 진리를 깨닫는다는 의미이다.
발심한 사람을 불교에서는 ‘보살(菩薩)’이라고 부른다.
발심은 종자(種子)와 같아서, 미래를 결정하는 씨앗의 역할을 한다.
발심은 ‘진리의 안경’을 쓰는 것과 같다.

4. 졸탁동시(啐啄同時)의 원리

졸탁동시: 병아리가 알 안에서 껍질을 쪼고(啐), 어미 닭이 밖에서 껍질을 쪼아(啄) 동시에 알을 깨는 것을 의미한다.
이는 인간이 탐진치(貪瞋癡)에 갇혀 있을 때, 외부의 도움(강연자의 강의)과 내부의 깨달음이 동시에 이루어져야 함을 비유한다.
‘내 것’이라는 소유욕을 버리고 우주와 하나가 되어야 덕을 이룰 수 있다.
강연자의 강의는 탐진치에 갇힌 인간을 깨우는 ‘졸탁 동기’이자 ‘메신저’의 역할을 한다.

5. 종교와 진리

종교는 복을 팔아먹는 행위이며, 종교인들은 하늘이 가장 싫어하는 존재이다.
종교는 가족 간의 대화를 단절시키고, 세상을 전쟁터로 만든다.
메시아는 종교를 만들지 않고, 진리를 통해 사람들을 돕기 위해 온다.
각자 스스로 예수나 부처가 되어야 한다.

6. 통일과 국가 정책

남북 통일은 현재 한국의 경제 상황(남북 GDP 40:1)을 고려할 때 시기상조이며, 오히려 국가 경제를 몰락시킬 수 있다.
통일부와 여성부는 없애야 할 부처이다.
통일부는 남에게 오해를 줄 수 있고, 여성부는 여성을 장애인으로 취급하는 것과 같다.
교육 정책은 한 과목 시험 제도로 개편하여 학생들의 부담을 줄이고, 부모와의 소통을 늘려야 한다.

사바세계(娑婆世界): 불교에서 중생이 번뇌를 참으며 살아야 하는 고통스러운 세계.
피안(彼岸): 불교에서 번뇌와 고통이 없는 이상적인 세계.
극락세계(極樂世界): 불교에서 아미타불이 다스리는 즐거움만 있는 세계.
탁(濁): 불교에서 지옥과 같은 탁한 세상을 의미.
예토(穢土): 불교에서 더러운 땅, 즉 현실 세계를 의미.
정토(淨土): 불교에서 깨끗한 땅, 즉 이상적인 세계를 의미.
오탁악세(五濁惡世): 불교에서 다섯 가지 탁함(겁탁, 견탁, 번뇌탁, 중생탁, 명탁)이 가득한 악한 세상.
초심(初心): 처음 품는 마음. 강연에서는 욕심과 탐욕에 물든 마음으로 해석.
발심(發心): 불교에서 깨달음을 얻으려는 마음을 일으키는 것. 강연에서는 진리를 깨닫고 선행을 베풀고자 하는 결심으로 해석.
보살(菩薩): 불교에서 깨달음을 구하고 중생을 구제하는 사람.
탐진치(貪瞋癡): 불교에서 인간의 세 가지 근본 번뇌(탐욕, 성냄, 어리석음).
졸탁동시(啐啄同時): 병아리가 알을 깨고 나오기 위해 안에서 쪼고, 어미 닭이 밖에서 쪼아 돕는 것처럼, 때가 되어 안팎이 동시에 작용하여 일이 이루어지는 것.

허경영을 고해와 같은 사바세계(娑婆世界)를 건너 극락세계로 가는 ‘배’에 비유한다.
종자 전쟁이 미래에 다가올 위협이라고 경고하며, 한국이 종자 주권을 잃었음을 지적한다.
빙하기 주기와 지구의 나이에 대한 독자적인 견해를 제시한다.
이명박 전 대통령의 회고록에 김윤옥 여사가 그를 지지하겠다는 내용이 실린 것을 언급하며, 자신의 공약이 대중에게 알려져 있음.
북한 핵 문제에 대한 미국의 접근 방식(완벽하고 검증 가능하며 영구적인 제거)과 자신의 접근 방식(되돌릴 수 없고 검증 가능하며 충분한 폐기)을 비교하며, 자신의 방식이 북한이 받아들일 수 있는 현실적인 방안.
종교 때문에 세계 대전이 일어날 수 있으며, 특히 이슬람권의 핵무기 보유가 큰 위협이 될 것.

스크립트

이 세계는, 사실은 불교에서는 이 세계 자체가 이 사바세계 라고 그래요. 이걸 왜 사바세계라고 하죠? 왜 사바세계라고 그럴까? 불교에서는 이걸 왜 사바세계라고 그러냐면 여자 위에다가 모래성을 쌓는 거야. 여자 위에다가 모래 사(沙) 자를 써 놨잖아. 이 세상은 여자 위에다가 모래성을 쌓는다. 여자한테 잘 보이려고 돈 벌고 여자한테 잘 보일려고 명예를 얻고.. 다 여자가 중간에 끼어있는 거야. 그러니까 여자 위에다 모래성을 쌓는 거야. 그냥 땅에다 쌓는 것도 아니야. 바(婆)자는 뭐예요? 사바세계라고 그러잖아.

바 자는 파도 파 자 인데 여자 위에 파도를 치는 거예요. 이 여 자가 들어가면 모든 글자가 나쁜 거야. 예를 들어서 간음한다 할 때도 여 자, 투기한다 할 때도 이 계집여 변에 돌 석 자면 투기야. 부귀. 질투하면 또 이게 계집 여 자야. 질투하면 계집녀가 두 개가 들어가요. 모든 건 계집 여 변이 들어가면은 나쁜 세상이야. 그렇게 돼 있어. 옛날에 한문 만드는 사람들이… 그래서 여자 위에다가 모래성 쌓느라고 다 바쁜 거야.

여러분들이. 공부할 생각은 안 하고 머릿 속에 돈만 생기면 그냥. 허허. 돈이 없고 나이가 들면은 그걸 좀 포기하는데 웬만하면 거기에 부부 문제가 평생 가는 거예요. 싸우다가 한 평생. 그러니까 이걸 사바세계라고 그래. 이걸 다른 말로 하면 이걸 차안(此岸)이라고해요. 차안. 불교에서는 이걸 차안이라 그래. 차안은 지옥 같은 세상이다 이 말이야. 그리고 여기가 차안이면 여기는 뭐가 돼? 피안(彼岸)이야. 여기는 피안이다 이 말이야. 피안. 이렇게 되는 거지. 여기는 사바세계예요. 그래서 이 사바세계의 반대, 이 것의 반대가 뭐죠? 이 사바세계의 반대가 뭐예요? 극락세계(極樂世界)죠. 극락이란 말이야.

우리가 이 극락세계에 가기 위해서 하는 거예요. 이 사바세계보다는 극락세계로 가야 되고 차안 보다는 피안으로 가야 된다. 그 세계가.. 졸지 말라고 그러는 거예요. 뭐든지 좋은 쪽으로 생각해요. 뭐 여기 대포가 떨어져도 좋은 쪽으로 생각해. 나는 KBS 방송이 나오는 도중에 이런 소리가 나왔으면 좋겠어요. 국민들이 자다가 번쩍 정신 좀 차리게. 허허허. 정신차려보면 대포 떨어지는 소리가 나요.허허허

내가 월남에 가 있는데, 아니 내가 월남에 도착한 날, 도착한 그 날 아이 8명이 죽었어. 내 옆방이 이발소이고 여기가 보충대야. 보충대 내무반에서 자려고 하고 있는데, 옆방 이발소에 B52가 터진 거야. 문 열려 있어요. 들어와요. 그러니까 월남에 배를 타고 가는데 보름이 걸렸거든. 필리핀 마닐라를 거쳐서 월남에 갔는데 배가 왜 그렇게 많이 돌아갔냐면 어뢰를 묻어놨대. 소련이 어뢰를 묻어 놓는 바람에 배가 돌아서 갔는데 다른 배는 열 이틀이면 가는데 3일을 더 돌아간거예요. 필리핀 남쪽으로, 그러니까 필리핀을 한 바퀴 돌아가지고 마닐라 항구 앞을 지나서 월남으로 들어가는 거야. 왜? 소련에서 어뢰를 설치했다는 거죠. 소련에서. 그러니까 그 쪽으로 가면 군함이 폭파된다는 거예요.

월맹군이 한국군이 오는 걸 막느라고 바닷속에 어뢰를 설치해 놨대. 그러니까 배가 가다가 터지면 다 죽는 거야. 그러니 간신히 내부반에 들어가서 얼마나.. 나는 가는 보름 동안 배 안에서 멀미를 안 했는데 90%가 멀미를 하더구먼. 그 사람들이 몸이 안 좋은 거야. 나는 멀미를 안 하지. 그런데 세상에 내가 가서.. 이게 우리 월남 내무반 막사야. 한국에서 온 애들이 자려고 들어와 있고 이게 이발소야. 여기에 귀국하려고 하는 애들이 머리를 깎고 있었어요. 그런데 여기에 폭탄이 여기로 안 떨어지고 여기에 통 떨어져가지고 지붕으로 떨어져 밑으로 떨어지니까, 그 이발소 안은 월남 생활 끝내고 가는 애들이 자는 곳이고 여기는 오는 애들이 자는 데야, 여기에 떨어지면서 얘네들이 다 죽어버린 거야. 처참해요. 그러니깐 이 폭탄의 방향이 이리 갔느냐 저리 같느냐에 따라서 누가 죽느냐가 달라지는 거예요.

그래 가지고 한 명도 못 살고 몰살되버린 거야. 그래가지고 내가 월남 도착한 날 저녁에 8명의 시체가 흔적이 없는 거예요. 사람이 없어져 버려요. 떨어지니까. 이발소에 사람이 죽고 나니까 막 난리가 나죠. 사이렌 울리고 막 난리가 날 거 아니야. 백마 부대가 난리가 났어. 이게 백마 부대. 여기가 보충대라 그래요. 귀국하는 사람하고 출국하는 사람들이 여기서 머리 깎고 대기하는 곳이야. 여기가 이렇게 돼 있어. 여기에 가도 얘들 막사야. 가는 애들 즉 귀국하는 애들 막사, 여기는 도착하는 애들 막사 이렇게 돼있고 이발소가 이 가운데 있다니까. 근데 여기 가운데에 폭탄이 떨어졌어. 이 건물을 멀리서 조준했는지 이 건물 가운데 딱 떨어집니다. 다 죽었어요. 건국훈장 있잖아요. 수당 나오는 건국훈장 이거 나한테 나오잖아요.

이 수당이 월남 가서 부상 입은 사람들 뭐 이런 사람들에게 해당이 되요. 그래서 여기에서 8명이 딱 죽으니까 월남이 여기는 낙원이고 여기는 지옥이야. 어디로 들어가느냐에 따라서. 이 벽 하나 차이에 이게 지옥과 낙원이니까. 또 재밌는 게 여기서 폭탄이 터져도, 이 칸막이가 얇아도, 여기는 괜찮아. 여기 내무반이 어떻게 생겼냐면 중간중간에 방탄이 있어요. 이렇게 돼 있어. 이래 가지고 방탄 막이 이렇게 있어요. 이렇게 있어가지고 이럴 때 애들이 자는 거예요. 이렇게 되어있으니까 어떤 놈이 가서 수류탄을 탁 던져도 다 안 죽는데 여기 이발소는 안 그래요. 이발소는 허당이야. 양쪽에 거울이 쫙 있고 의자가 이렇게 쫙 있어요.

그래 여기에 딱 떨어지면 다 죽는데 여기는 폭탄이 떨어져도 여기만 죽어요. 여기는 또 막이 이게 콘크리트예요. 그러니까 여기서 애들이 이렇게 잔다 이말이야. 이렇게 자니까 아무리 폭탄이 떨어져도 다 죽지는 않게 구조가 그렇게 돼 있더라고. 내가 거기를 가서 저런 일이 있었는데 그게 극락과 지옥을 왔다 갔다 하는 거예요. 그러니까 이게 그런 세계예요. 사바세계. 요거는 극락세계. 이 차 안에서 피 안으로 가는. 이게 무슨 안(岸) 자에요?

언덕 안 자에요.
음. 저쪽이 언덕이다. 그래 실제는 음… 그 다음에 지옥 반대가 뭐예요?
낙원이에요. 사바세계 반대는 극락세계이고 지옥의 반대는 낙원이에요. 그러면 에…
천국은 어디에 있느냐 하면, 천국은 어디에 있어요? 천국은 뭐의 반대예요?

이게 뭐예요? 탁할 탁(濁)자죠? 탁한 세상이야. 우리 있는 곳이 탁세예요. 이 탁세의 반대가 천국이야. 이거는 오탁악세라고 그래요. 오탁악세의 악 자예요. 오탁악세. 여기는 천국이야. 그러니까 우리가 이 초심과 발심, 여기에 여러분이 꼭 알아야 되는 게 있어. 복은 뭐에요? 복은 무슨 뜻이에요? 복은 무슨 뜻입니까? 아는 사람?

복은 오복이다 뭐다 이렇게 이야기 하는게 아니야. 오복은 뭐 강의할 때 배웠겠지만, 복은 무슨 뜻이냐. 내가 이제 가르쳐주고 나면 또 금방금방 잊어버리면 안 되. 팔복? 복은 뭐냐 하면은 3세 동안- 전생, 현생, 과거, 전현생 과거까지 3세- 동안 행한것에 대해서 받는 거야. 덕은 뭐에요?

뭐가? 이거는 예토(穢土)라 그래. 예토는 더러운 땅이야. 지금 현재 우리 있는 데가 예토야. 여기는 이제 하늘. 여기는 이제 정토(淨土)라 그래 정토. 그러면 이 예토에서 정토로 가려면은 복을 지어야 되거든. 그럼 복은 뭐냐? 여러분들이 복의 정의를 꼭 알아놔야 되는데. 꼭 알아놔요.

내가 3세(世) 동안, 현재 미래 과거의 생애 동안 지은 모든 선행에 대한 인과에 대한 응보야.그게 복이에요. 그러면 덕은 뭐예요? 덕은 무슨 말이에요?

덕도 마찬가지예요. 내가 3세 선행에 인과응보. 내가 지은 모든 여기에 대한 보답을 자기 스스로 받는 거예요. 덕은 뭐냐면 주는 것, 그게 차이예요. 내가 전생과 현생에 복을 많이 지어서 그걸 받아 누리면, 남편 잘 만나서 편안하게 한 평생 잘 살면 복을 다 낭비해 버리는 거예요.

이걸 복이라 그래. 그런데 3세 선행을 한 인과 응보를 남한테 베풀어.가령 자기한테 온 복을 빌게이츠 같이 오히려 남을 위해서 다 사용하는거야. 아프리카에 굶어 죽어가는 애들, 학교 못 가는 애들, 병 못 고치는 애들 도와 주면 그것이 뭐예요? 덕이야 덕. 덕을 쌓는 거지. 이 덕을 짓는 자는 복을 구하지 않아. 그래서 복과 덕은 구분돼 있어. 복덕궁이라 해가지고 복과 덕중에 덕이 상위 개념이야. 복은 뭘 못 이겨요? 덕을 못 이겨. 악은 뭘 못 이겨요? 선을 못 이겨. 이렇게 계급에 순서가 있는 거야.

14:00
이게 이등병이야. 악한 자는 선한 자를 못 이기고 선한 자는 복을 못 이겨요. 복은 덕을 못 이겨. 덕은 뭘 못 이겨요? 덕은 뭘 못 이긴다고요? 하늘을 못 이겨요. 그래서 여기에 비(兆) 자가 붙으면 뭐가 돼요. 비악선 복덕천이야. 그러니까 악은 선을 못 이겨. 선은 복을 못 이기고. 복은 덕을 못 이기고. 덕이 돼야 하늘에 상달이 되는 거예요. 복은 받아봤자 독이고 대부분 뭘로 바뀌냐면 죄가 되는 거예요. 당뇨병, 심장병, 고혈압. 앉아 가지고 잘 먹고 잘 사니까. 자기만 술 퍼마시고 술집 가서 바람나고 이러면서 이 복은 죄로 갈 바뀔 확률이 굉장히 높아요. 복을 누리고 받기만 하면은 죄가 돼버리는 거예요. 그래서 복과 죄는 삼촌간이에요.

삼촌. 덕은 나한테 오는 복을 “야 내가 이 복을 받아서 되겠나? 이거 우리 가족한테 온 이 복을 이웃하고 좀 나눠야 되겠다.” 하면서 남한테 다 주는 거. 그걸 뭐라 그래요? 남한테 주는 걸? 남한테 주는 걸 공덕이라고 그래요. 이게 무슨 공 자야? 베푼다는 소리야. 베풀 공 자야. 덕을 남한테 베푼다. 그러면 이 덕이 뭐가 된다고요? 공덕이 되는 거예요. 그러면 공덕을 지으면 후손들한테 그 영향이 가 안가? 저 집 아버지가 여기에 다리를 놔줬다고 하면 그 집 사람한테는 동네 사람들이 큰 소리 못 쳐. 그래서 공덕보다 한 단계 높은 게 뭐예요? 은덕이죠?

그다음 위에 또 높은 게 언덕이죠. 그러면 덕도 이렇게 계급이 있어 일, 이, 삼. 계급이 있단 말이야. 우리가 뭘 못하더라도 공덕은 지어야지. 우리가 언덕은 잘 못하더라도 이 공덕은 꼭 지어야 된다.

그래서 이 초심이라는 건, 오늘은 불교 기독교 뭐 그런 이야기도 좀 있는데, 이 초심이라는 것은 복에 가까운 거예요. 사람들이 처음에는 잘 먹고 잘 살려고 해. 복 받는데만 뛰어다녀. 그러다 빌게이츠같이 재벌이 딱 되면 발심을 해. 발심이 뭐예요? 발심이 뭐의 약자예요? 선행이지. 그러면 그 때 이 덕을 짓는 거예요. 처음에는 이걸 구하다가, 복만 받으려고 그러고 아버지 어머니한테 뺏으려 그러고, 상속 받으려 그러고 뭐 그러다가 나중에 자기가 큰 부자가 되면 그 다음부터는 발심으로 들어가는 거야. 초심은 욕심이야. 초심은 탐욕이야. 발심은 이제 자기가 진리를 깨닫겠다 하는게 발심이야. 그래서 이 발심이 그렇게 중요한 거예요. 초심은 우리 인간들이 탐욕에 물들어 있어요.

그래서 이걸 불교에서도 기독교에서도 이 초심을 굉장히 중요시하는데 사실은 발심도 굉장히 중요한 거예요. 발심을 다른 말로 하면 뭐에요? 결심이야 결심. 내가 좋은 일을 하겠다고 결심을 하는 거지. 그래서 요게.. 비자를 붙이면..이제 이거 적었죠? 양고문님 적었어요? 이걸 비자를 붙이면.. 내가 전기가 쎄 가지고, 내가 일반 사람하고 달라 가지고 이리 가까이 오면 무슨 소리가 나. 여기 찌이 하잖아.

전기가 쎄요. 여기 보면은 이렇게 되잖아. 그러면 우리의 인간의 정은 이치를 못 이기고 이치는 법을 못 이기고 법은 권력을 못 이기고 권력은 하늘을 못 이긴다. 이승만이 부정선거를 했다. 그걸 부정선거를 해서 법과 권력을 지배하고 있으니까 아무도 말을 못 하는 거 같지? 근데 하늘이 이승만이 내쫓지 그렇죠? 이게 국민이야. 하늘은 못 속이는 거야. 자기들은 아무리 속여도. 그래서 이렇게 이 순서가 있단 말이야. 예를 들어서 용기 있는 자는 지혜로운 자를 이길 수 있어요 없어요?

못 이기죠. 악이 선을 못 이기듯 용기는 지혜를 이길 수가 없어요. 지혜로운 자는 뭘 못 이겨요? 덕 있는 자를 못 이기는 거야. 아무리 사람이 지혜가 뛰어나도 덕이 있는 사람한테 이길 수 있어 없어? 없어. 지장은 용장을 이길 수는 있어. 근데 지장은 아무리 지혜가 뛰어나도 덕장을 못 이겨. 아무리 자기가 재갈공명이라도 유현덕을 이길 수가 없어요. 제갈공명은 없는 재주가 없는데 자기가 유현덕을 하지 그래. 덕이 없기 때문에 안 되는 거야. 제갈공명은 지혜로운 자지 덕이 있는 자가 아니란 말이에요. 덕의 위치가 항상 높단 말이에요. 그러면 덕보다 더 중요한 거는 전생업보예요. 운이야. 그러니까 이게 정성화가 덕장이잖아.

그럼 또 운이 있는 전두환은 계급이 한참 밑인데 이겨지는 거예요. 그러니까 우리는 계급을 인정해야 돼. 전생에 저 사람이 복을 많이 지었으니까 이건희 아들로 태어난 거야. 이재용이가. 도대체 이재룡 이 사람은 왜 이건희 아들로 태어나서 저렇게 복이 많냐? 어림도 없는 말이에요. 전생이 달라요. 사람은 운이 다른 거야. 업장이 그래. 그러면 우린 그걸 인정해야 돼. 그렇지 않습니까? 그래서 아무리 자기가 나는 덕이 있다 완벽하다 해도 어림도 없는 건 전생에 덕이 있는 사람이 아니다 이 말이야. 전생에 남의 것을 뺏었어. 그러면 현생에 와 보니까 없는 거야. 운이 있는 자는 따로 있어. 운은 또 하늘이야. 전두환이 노태우를 교도소에 넣어버려. 이 덕장을 두드려 잡은 놈들이 다시 교도소 가는 거예요. 운이 다 하면 또 가는 거예요.

그런데 사람들이 부정을 했어도 하늘이 봐주는 기간 동안에는 큰소리를 치고 다녀. 아무도 이의를 제기 못해. 전두환 당신은 왜 군사 쿠데타 했어? 아무라도 해봐야 씨알이 먹히나? 안 먹혀. 안 먹히는 거예요. 그 기간이 있는 거야. 그 기간에는 어쩔 수 없어 그게 운이라는 거다 이 말이지. 박 총장 물이 어디 있나?

어 그래. 그럼 그럼. 그러니까 자 사람이 아무리 뭘 구해도, 자기가 아무리 물질을 구하고 뭘 구한다 해도 남한테 진리에 대해서 묻는 것만 못 한 거야. 남한테 이 자연의 물고기는 어째서 몸이 저렇게 유선형으로 생겨가지고 저렇게 이쪽에 암놈이 딱 오면 이 숫놈 물고기의 이쪽, 왼쪽 암놈 쪽 색깔이 빨개져. 유혹을 하는 거야. 근데 이쪽 색깔은 덜 빨개. 그러니까 남자도 가다가 저기 예쁜 여자가 있고 여기 못난 여자가 있으면 남자 얼굴이 이 쪽에서 자꾸 저쪽으로 돌아가. 이쁜 여자 쪽으로 돌아가는 거예요. 그런데 이쪽 얼굴이 더 빨개져. 이 쪽 얼굴은 덜 빨개져. 허허. 그러니까 고게 자연을 그렇게 만들어 놨어. 그러니까 아무리 구해도 묻는 것만 못하고, 묻는 것이 듣는 것만 못 해. 이건 들을 문 자, 이거는 물을 문 자. 그럼 이거 보다는 뭐가 문제예요? 또 위에는 뭐가 있었어요?

김 고문님. 물 한잔 마시고 하자. 그 위에는 뭐가 있어

여태까지 가르쳐 준 거는 포인트가 여기 있어요.

이렇게 된다 이 말이야. 물어서 알아도 알면은 이거 사람 잡을 수 있잖아.

이게 지혜지. 지혜라고 하면은 반드시 덕이 위에 서는 거예요. 위의 개념이.묻고 남의 말을 들었지만 듣고도 요걸 교활하게 제갈량같이 제갈공맹같이 쓰면은 지혜자지. 그런데 그걸 다 알고도 행하지 않는 자가 누구냐. 그리고 지혜로운 자를 데리고 있는 자가 누구요? 유현덕이지 그 자는 덕이 있어가지고 묻지도 않고 듣지도 않아요. 딱 들어보고 우리가 이길 수 있지만 그냥 거기서 철수 해라. 우리가 거기에 이길 수 있는데, 철수하라 이거예요. 근데 제갈공명은 “아니 이길 수 있는데, 왜 철수를 합니까?” 그래. “야 우리가 전쟁을 지금 몇 번을 했냐? 항상 이기면 안 된다. 한 번 정도는 물러나라. 병사들도 좀 쉬어야 되니까.”

“거기서 이긴들 뭐하나?” “틀림없이 저놈들 다 잡아 놓았는데요?” “야 살생도 때에 따라서 하는 거니까 철수해라.” 그러니 제갈공명은 이해를 할 수 없는 거야. 근데 유현덕이는 일단 철수를 하래. 그러니까 엄청나게 덕이 있는 자야. 부하를 사랑하는 거지. “야, 금년에 전쟁을 몇 번 했냐” “5번 했습니다.” “철수해라, 금년에는 그만 잡아라.” 이게 그래서 이 덕은 전략 회의를 아무리 하는 것보다 덕이 있는 자를 이길 수 있어요 없어요? 여러분 오늘 내가 이 덕을 왜 이야기하냐면. 복은 뭐 하는 거라고 그랬어요? 복은 이꼬르(이퀄) 죄가 된다고 그랬죠?
25:48
죄가 되잖아. 덕은 이꼬르(=) 뭐가 돼요?

덕은 복이 돼요. 그러니까 이 덕은 계속 복이 됐다가 복이 다시 덕이 됐다가. 이걸 반복하는 거야. 근데 이놈의 복이 죄로 가 버리는 사람이 있다 이 말이야. 그러니까 이걸 판단을 잘해야 되는 거야. 이 두 갈래길. 이제 이 복이 이쪽으로 가느냐 저쪽으로 가느냐 하는 두 갈래 길에 항상 서게된다. 그러면은 에… 이거는 가 자예요. 거짓 가 자야

자 그렇게 써. 인변 쓰면 돼. 가 이고. 그 다음에 가 다음에는 뭐가 있겠어요. 여기 아니 내가 잘못 썼네. 여기에 비자를 쓰고 말이야 이게 이제 가 가 되면은. 여기는 실이 있을 거 아니야. 가 자는 뭘 못 이겨 실 자를 이게 못 이겨

실 자 못 이기지? 가 는 실을 못 이겨. 그러니까 거짓은 사실을 못 이겨. 사실은 뭘 못 이겨? 진실을 못 이겨. 진이야 진. 그럼 진실은 또 뭘 못 이길까? 요걸 풀어봐. 여러분들이 인제 공부하는 거니까

사랑이란 말이에요 사랑. 진실도 사랑을 못 이이기는데 이게 뭐야? 덕이야. 이게 덕이란 말이야. 사랑이 덕이란 말이야. 그래서 요것이 우리 자연의 순서인데 내가 이 말을 하는 이유는 굉장히 중요한 거예요. 미국에 1930년에 무슨 재판을 했어. 이름이 리치라는 여자야. 어디 갔다가 살인 누명을 썼는데 살인 누명을 썼으니까 이제 이 여자가 죽게 생겼어. 근데 배심원들이 전부 이 여자를 의심해. 의심하는데 그 여자가 거짓말을 한다 이거예요. 거짓말을. 판사와 전체 배심원들이 말이에요. 저 여자가 사람 죽여놓고 안 죽였다고 한다. 딱 몰렸어. 수세에. 그런데 사실은 그 여자가 죽인 게 아니야.

빨리 들어와요. 여기. 이리로 이리로 와요. 거짓이 사실을 못 이기죠 그렇죠? 그러니까 판사는 당신이 거짓말을 하고 있다 하고 배심원도 여자의 말이 전부 거짓말이다 이렇게 된 거야. 근데 여자는 사실 안 죽였어. 마침 여자가 돈을 받으러 갔는데 사람이 죽어있는 거야. 그래서 돈 관계로 이 사람을 죽였다는 거예요. 예를 들어서. 그러니까 이 여자는 빼도 박을 수도 없는 거야. 그러니까 죽은 사람이 죽기전에 묶인채로 신음을 하니까 그 사람 몸에 묻어있는 걸 풀어줬어. 그러다 거기에 자기 지문이 다 찍힌 거야. 사람이 막 팔이 묶여 있는데 풀어줘야지. 막 풀어주느라 이 사람을 죽인 놈은 따로 있는데 이 여자의 지문이 다 찍혀버린거야. 꼼짝없이 죽인게 된 거예요.

그런데 그 여자가 만진 지문이나 이것이 이 여자 지문이라는 게 확실한 증거가 있는 건 아닌데 이 여자가 그걸 막 만졌지만 지문 상태는 없었어. 근데 이 여자가 거기 있었던 것은 사실이라는 거예요. 그리고 여자가 거기서 누명을 썼어. 현장에. 그런데 그 여자 얼굴이 여자를 닮았을 뿐이지 여잔지 아닌지는 몰라요. 그런데 누명을 거야. 그러니까 법정에서는 저 여자가 틀림없다고 해 얼굴이. 우리 동네에서는 닮은 여자가 저 여자뿐이라는 거야. 근데 그 여잔지 아닌지는 화면이 정확하지가 않아. 그 본 사람이 얼굴이 이게 맞는 거 같다 그래서 이 여자가 지목이 됐으니까. 그러니깐 그 여자는 자기 옷 때문에 거기 지명이 된 거야. 옷을 빨간 스웨터를 입었으니까 그러면 이 여자는 거기 간 사실도 없어요.

근데 사형이야. 그래서 이게 신문에 딱 났어. 근데 나같은 사람이 법정에 어느 날 탁 나타난 거야. 그 여자 재판하는 데에 나타났어. “이 여자는 나하고 같이 있었습니다.” 이런 사람이 하나 나타난 거야. 근데 그 사람이 워낙 유명한 사람이라 판사가 자리에서 일어나서 절을 할 정도야. 미국 사회에서 유명한 사람이야. 딱 와서 “이보세요 판사, 저 사람이 나하고 있었어 그날.” 근데 이 사람은 그 사람이 범인이 아니라는 걸 확실히 알아. 근데 증인이 없으니까 저 여자를 살려낼 수가 없는 거야. 저 여자는 이제 사형이야. 근데 이 사람이 그러니까 판사고 검사고 “그럼 석방하세요.” 원체 유명한 사람이니까. 예를 들어서 그럴 거 아니에요. 그 지역에서 저명한 사람이야. 아주 그냥 너무 존경받는 사람이야. “쟤요? 나하고 그날 같이 있었어. 나한테 와서 그날 뭐 인생에 대해서 상담을 했어.”

딱 그러니까 판사가 “그렇습니까? 그러면 증거 자료 필요 없습니다. 그냥 석방입니다. 범인이 아니래요. 수사 다시 하세요.” 제껴버려. 그래서 여자를 살려냈어. 이 사람이 한 말은 거짓말일까? 진짜일까? 이 지금 유명한 인사가 한 말은 거짓이에요 진짜예요? 거짓이지. 그 사람하고 자기는 같이 있어본적도 없고 본 적도 없는 여자야. 그 사람이 그냥 미국에서 유명한 인사가 신문을 보고 나타난 거야. 와서 여자 하나를 살렸지. 이게 미국의 유명한 일화란 말이에요. 리치라는 여자를 이 유명인사가 살렸어요. 그렇게 해서 살렸는데 나중에 이 진짜 범인이 잡혀. 그러니 얼마나 기가 막혀. 그래 가지고 이 인사가 알려진 거야.

그러니까 판사, 검사, 배심원 그 어느 누구를 믿겠냐고. 이 세상에. 가짜가 진짜 행세하고 진짜 범인이 아닌 사람은 가짜라고 범인으로 잡아넣어가지고 죽이려고 하는 거예요. 그렇게 몰렸는데 이 인사가 가서 거짓말을 했어 안 했어요? 이럴 때 이런 인사가 하는 거짓말, 여러분들이 누구를 살리면서 하는 거짓말을 다른 말로 바꾸면 뭐야? 그게 진실이라고 하는 거예요. 사실보다 위에 있어 아래에 있어? 사실보다 위에 있잖아. 여기 하늘이거든. 사실보다 하늘에 더 가까워요 안 가까워요? 그래서 이걸 진실이라고 그래. 그래서 거짓과 진실 사이에 사실이 있어요. 그래서 사실이고 아니고 중요한 게 아니야. 사람을 일단 살려요 어 그리고 사람은 범인이 아니다. 이런 높은 사람이 확증을 해가지고 한 사람을 살려낸 거예요.

이럴 때 이 사실이라는 것은 사실 그리 중요한 게 아니야. 그래서 진실이 사실을 지배해요. 그러면 이 진실에는 뭐가 있어야 돼요? 사랑. 그 사람이 희생을 한 거지. 가서 사람을 살려주는 거는. 사랑이. 이게 만물의 순서야. 양고문 이거 적었지? 이것이 자연의 법칙이다. 그래서 용감한 장군은 지장을 못 이기지만 지장은 덕장을 못 이겨요. 덕장은 운을 못 이기잖아. 그러면 복은 덕을 이게 못 이겨? 못 이기는 거야. 그래서 여러분들이 남편 복 있다 자식 복 있다 뭐… 복을 내세우면 안 돼요. 복을 숨기면서 덕을 베풀어야 나중에 내생에 가서 또 복이 돌아오는 거야.

그럼 다시 또 핑퐁을 하는 거지. 또 덕으로 바꿔주고. 내가 오늘 이 말을 하는 거는 이쪽 세계가 이거야 이거. 이걸로 이쪽 세계는 하늘에 가까운 세계야. 그러면 이쯤에서 이쪽으로 와야지. 이쪽으로 가지 말고. 그래서 뭘 구하는 자, 그냥 맹목적으로 구하는 자들이 처음에 이걸 구한다. 초심일 때 구한다.

자 이거 많이들 썼죠? 안 쓴 사람은 핸드폰으로 찍어놔도 되고 써도 되요. 그래서 이 사바세계는 순전히 여자 위에다가 세우는 세계야. 그래서 여성… 남자들이… 서울대 교수가 갑자기 제자가 진정서 하나 내면… 서울대 교수 한번 되려면 평생 동안 목숨을 걸고 잠 못 자고 공부해야 돼. 근데 그 서울대 교수가 여자한테 농담 한 마디 잘못했다가 사표감이고 집안이 멸문지화가 돼요. 그러니까 요새 젊은 사람들은 유명한 사람 죽이려면 간단해요. 그냥. 사람 죽이는 거야. 요새. 그러니까 이 여자는 모든 세상을 무너뜨릴 수 있는 힘을 가지고 있다.

무슨 말인지 이해가 가죠? 여자 위에 지나치게 모래성을 쌓거나 하면 파도가 일렁이니 한심한 거야. 그런데 이 말은 여성들에게 그만큼 파워가 있다 이 말이에요. 여기 썼죠? 자 여러분들이 눈을 한번 감아봐요. 내가 이 마이크를 잡으니까 전기가 자꾸 오네. 전기가. 자 눈을 감아봐요. 자 머릿속에 나무의 씨를 한번 넣어봐요.

나무의 씨. 큰 50미터씩 올라가는 느티나무. 느티나무가 아니라 큰 직선으로 올라가는 나무 씨가 있어. 소나무. 그 씨는 우리 손톱보다 작아. 근데 그 씨 속에, 이 세상을 만든 자가 만들어 놓은 그 씨를 지금 전세계 공학자들이 못 만들어. 조그마한 소나무 씨를 못 만들어. 그 씨 속에 DNA가 들어있어요. DNA는 소나무 길이까지 다 정해져 있고 소나무의 모양까지 다 정해져 있어요. 그리고 그것은 나무뿌리 쪽은 뿌리 DNA가 땅으로 들어가야 되고 줄기 DNA는 위로 올라 가라고 입력이 돼 있어. 씨가 전부 같이 땅속으로 들어가 버려서 뿌리만 돼 버리면 큰일 나잖아. 씨 속에 너는 뿌리로 가야 될 놈, 너는 하늘로 올라가야 될 놈 이렇게 딱 정해져 있어. 그것을 곰곰이 한번 생각해 봐요.

너는 이파리가 될 꺼, 너는 줄기가 될 꺼, 너는 뭐 뿌리가 될 거 이렇게 다 정해져서 씨앗이 만 들어져 있으니 이것이 신이 있다는 증거예요. 이 우주가 그냥 만들어진 게 아니야. 어떤 과학자도 씨 하나를 못 만들어. 깨 하나를 못 만들어 깨. 쌀 한 톨을 못 만들어. 어쩌면 아무리 수억 년 과학이 발달돼도 우리는 씨앗 하나를 못 만들지도 몰라. 그게 우리 인체 몸에 있는 DNA야. 그 DNA를 나는 마음대로 바꿔버려요. 나무 보면서 나무의 DNA를 바꾸고 여러분을 보면서도 여러분의 DNA를 바꿔버리고 병이 있으면 세포를 바꿔버리고 모든 물질, 물을 갖다 놓고 바꿔버리고 우유를 갖다 놓고 바꿔버리고 내 마음대로 DNA를 바꾸어. 그러면 여러분들이 그 씨앗을 곰곰이 생각해 봐요. 거기에 우주의 질서가 들어 있습니다.

그리고 그 씨앗에는 “너는 인간들에게 산소를 제공해 주고, 너는 인간들 입에서 나오는 탄산가스를 마셔라 그래서 나무는 탄산가스를 먹어야 살아 사람은 나무가 뱉어주는 산소를 먹어야 돼. 그러니까 나무는 산소를 만들어서 인간한테 주고 우리는 탄소를 만들어서 나무한테 주면서 서로 교대로 바꿔 먹어. 그러면 그것이 신이 만들어 놓은 거에요? 장난으로 만든 거예요? 만들어 놓은 거지. 여러분들은 그런 걸 명상을 한번 해 봐. 눈을 감고 가만히 생각해봐요. 정말 자연의 이치는 동물이나 사람이 만들어 내는 탄산가스를 나무들과 풀들이 다 먹어야 돼. 또 걔들은 산소를 만들어서 우리한테도 열심히 나눠줘요. 이제 눈 떠봐요. 행복해요 안 해요?

만약에..응, 어서 와요. 만약에 내가 어떤 수목원이나 극장에 들어 가려면 돈을 내야 돼요 안 내야 돼요? 내야 되죠? 그런데 내가 어느 수목원을 들어가면… 김고문님 뭐하노? 여기 강의하는데 정신 바짝 차리고 들어요. 내가 어느 수목원을 들어가면 돈을 내야 되는 지혜가 있어요 없어요? 어린이 대공원도 들어가려면 돈 내야 되잖아. 그런데 만약에 이 자연을 바라보는데 여러분한테 돈을 내라고 한다면 여러분은 눈을 감고 다녀야 돼요. 한번 쳐다보는데 뭐 몇천 만원씩 몇백 만원씩 내야 되잖아. 그런데 사람들이 저렇게 빌딩을, 롯데 그룹 회장이 150층을 지어 놓으면 우리는 공짜로 그걸 보는 거예요.

모든 것을 사실은 관람료를 내야 돼.맞아요 안 맞아요? 하늘이 만들어 놓은 이 아름다운 자연, 씨 한 알 나무 하나 그거 쳐다보는 거 원래 다 돈 내야 되는 거예요. 관람료. 근데 우리는 전부 그냥 보잖아. 그러니까 우리가 얼마나 행복한 어떤 사람들이냐 하면은 그거를 다 공짜로 감상할 수 있어요. 그 모양들이 다 신이 있다는 증거야. 자세히 보면 나무는 가지는 위로 뿌리는 내려가고 동물들은 그 살아가는 모든 모습이 신이 만들어 놓은거죠.

그래서 우리가..그래서 우리가 이것과 이것과 이걸 합친 세계가 있어요. 불교에서 합친 세계. 합친 세계가 뭐예요? 합친 세계야. 아는 사람 있어요? 합친 세계. 여기를 잘 알아봐요.

이 글자를 내가 정 자로 쓸 테니까. 정 자로 쓸려면 좀 천천히 써야 돼. 이게 별 진 자야

반 욕. 욕 자야. 발 아 뇩. 삼, 석삼 자. 이게 무슨 소리야? 박총장 여기다가 종이를 붙이든지 스카치를 붙이든 해. 이게 왜 소리가 나서. 발 아 뇩 다 라 삼 약. 삼.
소리가 안 나야지. 거기다 한번 넣어봐.

더 접어야지. 됐나? 저쪽에. 다음에는 다른 걸로 좀 해요. 보기가 안 좋으니까.
살 자 알죠? 살 자 알겠지? 이렇게 쓰는 거예요. 음.. 발 심이란 글자는 이 발 자하고 요 심 자. 그러니까 열 석 자의 약자야.

발 안 욕 다 라 삼 약 삼 보 오 리 살 타 심. 상당히 길죠? 그러니까 열 석 자를 줄여서 이 끝 시작하는 글자와 맨 끝자를 발 심이라고 해. 열 석 자가 두 글자로 바뀐 걸 발심한다 그러는 거예요. 그래 이게 영 구 불 발 심이라는 것은 이 세상을 초월해서 모든 진리를 깨닫는다는 거예요. 그래서 이것을 두글자로 할 때는 발심이라고 하고 이것을 또 다른 말로 바꿀 때는 이 글자와 보 자. 이 글자가 좀 흐린데. 이 글자와 이 보 자. 이게 설 립 자. 알겠죠잉? 이 보 자와 이 글자. 이 두 자를 합치면 보살이 돼요.

보살. 불교에서는 이걸 보살이라 그래요. 보살님 그러잖아. 불교에서는 발 아 뇩 다 라 삼 약 삼 보 리 설 타 심을 보살이라고 불러. 그래서 많은 사람들을 보살이라고 불러. 보살이라는 건 이쪽 세상이 아니고 이 초심이 아닌 발심을 한 사람이다 이 소리야. 그러면 발심을 한 사람 이름이 보살이다라고 해서 이것을 넉자로 할 때는 보 리 살 타 라고도 해. 이 보살을 이렇게 보 리 살 타 라고도 한다 이 말이야. 그래서 이걸 줄여서 보살. 그러니까 보 리 살 타의 마음, 그거예요.

그리고 발심. 여러분들이 발심한다고 하면 완전히 진리 쪽으로 목숨을 걸었다 이 소리야. 그런 사람을 불교에서는 보살이다. 기독교에서는 이런 사람을 보고 뭐라고 그래요? 집사, 전도사, 권사 이렇게 이야기합니다. 불교에서는 이것을 보살, 그리고 보살이 되겠다고 마음먹은 그걸 발신했다, 그러니까 이 안에 여러 가지를 뽑아가지고, 우리가 쓰는 거예요. 삼 약 삼 보 리 라는 이 말은 여기 보면 진리를 말해요. 이 우주의 진리. 삼 약 삼 보 리. 진리를 따른다고 결심했다.

그런 것을 알아놔야 돼. 그래서 우리가 이것을 다른 말로 바꾸면 이게 이거라고 보면 돼. 종자. 여러분들은 이 종자가 좋아야 돼. 종자를 딱 보면 저것은 종자 씨가 요만한데 큰 거목이야 종자 씨를 딱 보면 이게 거목의 씨인지 아닌지 씨에 이미 다 정해져 있는 거예요. 씨에. 그래서 이 종자가 이게 종자라는 뜻이야. 발심을 하면 이미 마음의 씨앗이 딱 들어가. 앞으로 미래에 지구에는 무슨 전쟁이 남아 있어요? 종자 전쟁. 종자 전쟁이 앞으로 우리한테 다가오고 있어. 많은 씨앗을 미국이나 다른 나라가 독점해서 가지고 있어요. 우리는 종자를 다 뺏겨버렸어요.

그래서 외국에서 콩 종자, 쌀 종자를 가져와야 우리가 농사를 짓는 거예요. 지금. 종자를 사와야 돼. 수입해 와. 그 사람들은 종자 은행을 가지고 있어요. 그래가지고 종자를 대량 생산해요. 우리는 종자까지 다 삶아 먹어 버리고 종자가 없어진 거예요. 그래서 종자가 없어진 민족이 한 민족이야. 종자 관리를 잘못한 거예요. 그래서 앞으로는.. 서양 사람들이 이 종자를 가지고 곡식을 많이 수확하기 위해 변이를 일으켜 가지고 뭘 했어요? 어. 유전자 조작을 해서 종자가 농약에도 이기고 뭐에도 이기게 만들어 놓은 거야. GMO를 넣어 가지고. 우리가 지금 이 종자를 안 쓸 수가 없는 거예요. 그래서 미래에는 이 종자 때문에 엄청난 위기가 와. 그러면서 식량 전쟁이 붙을 때 종자, 제일 먼저 이 종자 전쟁이 온다는 거예요.

그래서 전 세계에 나라에 종자를 공급 안 해주면 북한이 농사를 못 지어. 이제는 뭐 은행 동결한다고 할 필요가 없어. 종자 없어도…삐이.. 이 소리가 참 잘 나네, 허허. 그러니까 잠을 못 자는 거지. 아주 안성맞춤일 때 나오네. 그러니까 나중에 북한이 옥수수 종자를 못 가져오면 농사를 못 짓는 거예요. 그러면 사람들이 항복을 하게 되지. 말하자면 앞으로 종자가 그렇게 무기가 되고 있어요. 내가 질문을 하나 할게. 이 세상이 전부 녹색으로 됐으면 좋겠다고 하는 임금이 있어. 그래서 그 임금이 신하에게 세상을 녹색으로 다 바꿔라. 돈이 무지무지하게 들어가더라도. 근데 어떤 신하가 와서 녹색으로 바꿔주는 데 한 시간밖에 안 걸렸어요. 뭐에요? 왜 그래? 임금이 세상을 다 녹색으로 바꿔달라니까 신하가 “좋습니다. 해 드리겠습니다.” 다른 신하들은 안 된대. 어떻게 해서 녹색으로 다 바꿨을까? 박 회장님?

어. 박수. 녹색 안경을 갖다 줬어. 임금이 녹색 안경을 처음 딱 쓰고 보니까 전부 녹색으로 바뀌어 버려. 사람 얼굴도 녹색, 다들 녹색으로 보이니까 “야 이제 살 거 같다.” 고 그래. 여러분들에게 이 발 아 뇩 다 라 삼 약 삼 보 리 살 타 심 이 뭐냐면 우리가 써야 되는 안경이야. 발 심. 내가 진리에 접근하겠다 라고 하면 여러분이 그런 안경을 쓰면 되는 거야. 진리안경. 근데 여러분은 그것을 쓸 줄 몰라. 그걸 끝까지 안 쓰려고 하는 거야. 내 고집대로 내가 누구 집 자식인데 이러면서 그것을 가지고 있는 거야. 그걸 반드시 바꿔야 돼요. 안경을 바꿔야 된다. 안경 잃어버리면 안 돼요. 안경을 바꿔야 된다.

그러면 내가 이렇게 강의를 하는데… 연필들이 다 문제가 있네.

많이 좀 갖다 놔요.
자 이게 뭐예요?
이 너무 날려 놓으니까 잘..

어. 잘 나와. 됐어. 조금 더. 이것도 괜찮아. 한번 강의할 때 많이 필요해. 자 졸 탁 동 시. 졸탁동시라는 거는 내가 이 계란을 밖에서 깨주는 거야. 근데 여러분이 안에서 가만히 있으면 졸탁동시가 되나 안 되나?

안 되죠. 그럼 졸탁동시를 다른 말로 바꾸면 뭐야? 다른 말로 바꾸면 뭐가 돼요?

졸탁동시를 다른 말로 우리가 많이 써. 알죠? 졸탁동기. 무슨 말인지 알죠 그러면 졸탁동기나 졸탁동시나 마찬가지인데 이 졸탁동시라는 것은 안에서 새끼가 탁탁 치면은 엄마가 소리를 듣고 탁 깨줘요. 쪼아주잖아. 그래서 계란에서 병아리가 나와요. 그래서 엄마가 실수하면 비실비실한 병아리가 나와. 그러니까 먼저 깨준 병아리는 건강한데 이 엄마가 조금 한눈 팔다가 놓쳐버리면 약하다 이 말이에요. 그러니까 이 졸탁동시가 정확하게 일어나야 정상적인 병아리가 돼. 정상적인 병아리가 되는데 이 인간들이, 이게 인간이야, 인간들이뭐에 갇혀 있어요?

사바에 갇혀 있다니까 사바. 이 여자들. 이 사바 세계. 그래서 이건 탐진치에 갇혀 있죠 그렇죠? 탐 진 치 에 인간이 갇혀 있어요. 그러면 이 탐진치 욕심내고, 성질내고, 어리석어. 아주 골고루 다 가지고 있어. 욕심을 내더라도 지혜로우면 괜찮은데 욕심과 성내는 것과 어리석은 삼박자가 합쳐져 있어. 그러면 이 인간이 위에서 탁 칠 때 이 사람이 졸탁동시를 할 수가 있나 없나?

이 시 자는 때 시 자야. 때가 있는 거예요. 때를 놓치면 안 되는 거지. 그런데 지금 내가 강의를 하는 것은 여러분들에게 탐진치라는 이 라인에 갇혀 있는 이 인간이 이 라인만 없애버리면 우주와 70억과 하나가 돼요 안 돼요? 하나가 되는 거야. 하나가 되는데 이 사람은 여기서 뭘 하고 있냐면 “내 것.” 이래. 이거 내 것, 이거 내 것, 요거는 내 색시, 요건 내 자식. 여기에 내 것이 들어가서 이 탐진치가 딱 갖춰지니까 우주와 70억 인류가 하나가 될 수 없는 거야. 그러면 덕이.. 아까 이게 이루어질 수 있나? 이거는 이걸 깨버려야돼. 깨버려. 여러분들 이것을 예사로 보지 말아요.

물론 졸탁동기도 있어. 이걸 깰 수 있는 동기가 허경영이야.맞아요 안 맞아요?을? 혀경영이가 와 있는데, 동기를 부여했는데, 부여했는데도 (여기는 신호를 안에서 보내는 게 아니라 밖에서 보내. ) 얘가 나올 때가 됐는데 밖에서는 아무 소식이 없는 거야. 그냥 이 안에서 살겠다는 거야. 이걸 좀 나가겠다고 몸부림치는 사람이 석가모니 같은 그런 사람들이야. 근데 여러분들은 이 안이 좋다는 거야. 그냥 탐진치에 썩어 가지고 우리는 이 안에서 누에꼬치가 되겠다는 거야. 그러면 안 되는 거야. 나와 제발. 나올 때가 됐는데 왜 안 나오냐 이거야. 70억 인류가 지구에서 사람 같은 사람을 길러내는 중인데 안 나와 하나도. 누에고치 안에 들어 앉아 가지고.

그래서 내가 와서 이걸 때려주는 거야. 지금 졸탁동기. 동기를 부여해주는 게 내 강의야. 이게 이제 메신저로 이렇게 나가. 이렇게 유튜브로 나가. 이제 살살 소문이 나가지고 사람들이 내 걸 보고 연락이 많이 와. 그게 뭐냐하면 이 카메라가 졸탁동기야 그러면 전 국민이 이걸 깨닫고 이 안에 있는 공기도 탁한데 하면서 이걸 깨버리면 그냥 우주가 다 나와 하나가 되는 거야. 공동체가. 이걸 다른 말로 바꾸면 덕이라 그래. 이 안에서 가만히 있는 걸 뭐라 그래? 복이라 그래. 여기서 자기 혼자 편안하게 그냥 있겠다는거야.

그래 가지고 이 복이 뭐로 변한다고 안 나오면은 죄로 변해버려요. 그래서 덕은 뭐라구요? 나에게 온 복을 내가 안 받고 남한테 다시 돌려주는 거야. 그러면, 임산부가 담배를 피우는 걸 뭐라고 해요? 임산부가 담배 피우는 걸 뭐라고 그래? 내가 너무 딱딱하니까 재밌는 걸 물어보는 거예요.

아니 임산부가 담배 피우는 걸 뭐라고 그래?

모르겠습니다.

아는 사람 하나도 없어요?

하버드로 대학 가서 그랬다가는 쫓겨나요. 우리 김 고문님이 요새 전단을 많이 돌려가지고 지금 저기 계신 저 어른이 오셨어. 송 선생이. 우리나라 부정선거를 감시하시는 분인데 아주 그… 박수 한번 쳐줘요. 전단을 돌려서 거기서 만나게 됐을 때 오셔서 나하고 이야기를 좀 했어 아까. 이거는 인터넷으로 나가는 이제 방송이니까 마음대로 할 수가 없어서 내가 그러는 데 좋은 일 하시는 분이라서 소개하는거야. 지금 내가 여러분들한테 이야기하는 이런 것은 기독교나 불교나 천국도 있고 극락도 있어요.

이것은 이것은 기독교고 이것은 불교야. 어느 종교를 편파적으로 할 수가 없으니까 기독교와 불교를 내가 다 이야기 해 놨는데 이미 메시아가 와서 여러분한테 온 것을 졸탁동기라 그래. 21세기는 지구에 빙하가 몇 년 만에 한 번씩 만들어지죠? 지금 빙하가 남아 있잖아 아직. 이게 몇 년에 한 번씩 만들어져?

빙하가 몇 년마다 한 번씩 만들어지는지 아는가. 혹시?

그러니까 여러분들은 여러분들의 수명이 100년이라는 것만 알지 지구의 수명이 얼마인지를 모르고 있는 거야. 빙하는 과학자들이 정확하게 조사하니까 13만 년 된 거야. 13만 년마다 빙하가 자꾸자꾸 녹았다가 또 만들어지고 해서 13만 년이 한 축이야. 그래서 지구 나이를 알아 놓으세요. 13만 년이에요.

그러니까 12만 9600년이라고 나와. 이 결과는 빙하 연구에서 나온 결과야. 빙하 연구에서. 그런데 내가 우주를 만든 자의 화신이니까 이걸 알까 모를까? 알죠. 자 이게 뭐냐 하면 360년 곱하기 360 하면 나오는 숫자야. 360이 곱하기 360이 이렇게 나와. 12만 9600이 나오는데 이거는 태양을 지구가 한 바퀴 도는 거예요. 360도로 돈다 이 말이에요. 이게 360도지. 그러니까 지구가 태양을 360도로 완전히 한 번 돌면 빙하기가 오는 거야. 그래 12만 9600년이 되면 지구는 또 빙하기가 와서 몇 년 정도 있느냐. 약 12만 9600년이니까.

얼마정도 있겠어요? 다시 인간이 여기서 태어난 건 만 년이 안 된다고 하잖아. 기독교 역사는 지금 7000년 6000년 이렇잖아요. 그러니까 현생 인류 12만 9600년이라는 이 주기에 우리 빙하가 또 만들어지고 다시 이 지구가 휴먼기로 들어가서 많은 시간 동안 뭘로 있어요?

빙하로 있다가 빙하를 또 만들어. 계속 얼어가지고 빙하를 만들어서 소독을 완전히 해. 냉동 건조해 가지고. 그 다음에 다시 빙하가 녹아 가지고 서서히 자연에 싹이 나면서 동물이 만들어지고 또 인간이 만들어져. 그러니까 나비 한 마리 새 한 마리 노루 한 마리 인간 하나 모든 동물은 철저한 디자인에 의해서 만들어져 있어요. 남자 여자. 그러니까 이 인류는 여러분이 상상 못하는 내가 온 그런 세계에서 만들어져 가지고 지구에 왔어. 지구가 생체 교육장이야.

여기서 교육을 받아가지고, 12만 9600년이라는 이 기간 동안 인간이 교육받다가 쓸만한 영혼은 다 건지고 나면 다시 유급하는 사람이 있어요. 유급하는 사람은 다시 또 지구를 순환하면서 또 교육을 받아야 돼. 석가모니가 그렇게 계속 말을 했지만 나는 그런 자들의 위해서 온 자니까 그것이 계속 순환해서 여러분들을 가르치는 거예요. 그러니까 이걸 빨리 떼야 여러분들이 다음 세상으로 가는 거지. 그래서 이 세상에는 낙이 있다 없다? 이 사바세계는 밑에 여자가 받침으로 있으니까 낙 같지만 낙이 아니야. 이 세계에서 이 세계로 가는 배가 뭐예요? 이름이 이 세계에서 이 세계로 가려면 무슨 배를 타야 돼? 무슨 바다를 건너야 돼요?

이 세상에서 이 세상으로 가려면 고해의 바다를 건너야 되는데 이 고해의 바다가 이쪽과 이쪽 사이에 있어. 그래서 타고 가는 배가 이거야. 이것인데 지금은 뭘로 바뀌었어? 허경영. 발 안 욕 다 라 삼 약 삼 보 오 리 살 타 심이 다른 말로 바꾸면 뭐예요? 이거는 불교 이야기고 허경영이야 알겠어요. 허경영이라는 배를 타야 이 고해를 지나가는 거야. 여러분들을 이쪽 바다에서 이쪽으로 옮겨주기 위해서 와 가지고 인터넷으로 때리는 거예요. 이게 하는 거야.

그러면 여러분들이 나중에 허경영이는 종교도 안 만들고 조직도 안 만들고 대통령 되고 세계 통일을 하는데 왜 사람이 와서 이걸 바꾸느냐 이러는데 종교하는 거는 전부 가짜예요. 내 말이 하늘에서 제일 무서워하는 자가 교인이야. 기독교 불교 뭐 이슬람교. 이 교인들이 하늘에서 제일 싫어하는 존재예요. 여러분들 하나님이 어떤 거냐 하면은 교회에서 목사가 제일 무서워하는 사람이 어떤 사람인지 알아요? 헌금 잘 내는 사람, 십일조 잘 내는 사람. 전도 잘하는 사람. 그 사람의 눈동자는 목사를 꼬나 봐요. 꼬나본다니까.

그러니까 여러분들이 종교하는 사람은 하나님을 꼬나봐. 허경영을 꼬나본다니까. 저거 예수를 죽여. 그런 사람들은 열렬한 신앙의 철두철미한 자들이 예수를 죽는 거예요. 지나가는 바리세인, 지나가는 뭐 미친 개 같은 사람들이 예수를 죽은 게 아니고 아주 헌금 잘하고 십일조 지키고 율법가들이 예수를 죽인 거예요. 그러니까 지금 목사들이 코너에 몰리는 게 뭐에요? 신도 중에 헌금 잘하고 교회 잘 나오고 철저한 사람들이 남을 재단하는 거야. 목사도 재단하고 신자들에게도 저건 틀렸어, 저건 지옥 갈 놈이야, 저건 뭐 하는데?, 나는 헌금 잘하고, 나는 뭐 잘하고, 이런 것들이 생겨가지고 종교가 세상을 전쟁 바다로 만들어. 앞으로는 이슬람이 원자무기를 가지게 돼. 그래서 이것이 뉴욕으로 날아가. 그러면 세계 대전이 일어날 때 우리는 망연자실하게 죽는 거야.

그것을 내가 막으러 와 있어. 내가 거짓말하는 게 아니에요. 아무것도 아닌 것 같아도 지금 얘네들은 준비를 다 하고 있어요. 아이에스가 그 모양을 좀 보여주는 거야. 잔인함을. 조금 있으면 이란이 핵을 만들어서 대륙 탄도탄을 만들어. 그래서 머지않아 그게 미국 뉴욕 워싱톤 샌프란시스코에 막 떨어져서 전 세계가 핵전쟁이 일어나면 어떤 일이 일어나겠어요? 우리 애들이 엄마 아버지 보는 앞에서 그냥 불에 타서 죽는 거야. 핵에 녹아가지고. 그러면 이 세상 어디에도 발 붙일 곳이 없어. 다 핵낙진이 비에 떨어져가지고. 아니 미국의 핵포장이 터지면 핵낙진이 우리나라에는 안 날아와? 다 비로 떨어져 가지고 이 세상에 농사 지을 곳이 하나도 없어. 일본 후쿠시마 원자력 발전소는 개미야 개미. 세계 대전이 누구 때문에 일어난다고요?

이슬람 종교 때문에. 그래서 허경영은 지구상에 와서 종교 이야기합니까? 종교의 원리를 설명해 주기만 할 뿐이지 여러분들에게 종교를 가질것을 나는 권장하지 않아요. 여러분 자체가 예수가 돼야 돼요. 여러분 자체가 부처가 돼야 돼. 그래서 이 발 안 욕 다 라 삼 약 삼 보 오 리 살 타 심, 이 마음이 고해를 건너는데 필요한 거라고 불교에서는 말해.근데 지금 나는 종교를 떠난 사람이니까 허경영을 부르면 된다. 나는 헌금을 받는 사람도 아니고 종교를 하는 사람도 아니야. 여러분들에게 완전히 실제로 와서 여러분을 돕는 자. 그런 자가 오게 돼 있다.

그래서 졸타동기를 가지고 이 세상에 왔다. 이걸 꼭 여러분들이 명심해야 됩니다. 그래서 이 계란 속에서 안 나오는 인간들이 99.9프로예요. 99.9 프로. 이것을 인터넷이 발달했을 때 내가 나타나서 인터넷과 텔레비젼을 통해서 전 세계 인류를 바꿔버려. 그게 머지 않았어. 지금은.. 어디 갔어? 박 총장? 그 김윤옥 여사가 해 놓은 거 가지고 와봐. 내가 가지고 왔어? 그거 하나씩 오늘 복사해 와서 드리세요.

책 드려요? 책?

책 가져와봐.
박춘영 그거 하나 가지고 왔어 어쨌어?

나를 줬다고? 여기 있는데, 여길 봐요. 저 책 이름 뭐예요? 이게 이명박 대통령의 회고록이야. 회고록 부록이야. 뒤에 붙어있는 거지. 책 살 때 주는 거잖아. 그렇지? 여기보면 여기 목차가 네 개가 있는데, 여기에 김윤옥 여사의 허경영 지지 발언이 들어있어. 한 파트에 그렇지? 여기 네 번째에 들어 있어요. 목차도 이것 뿐이야. 이게 다예요. 목차가 이게 다예요.

없잖아 목차가. 네 개 중에 목차가 들어 있어. 들어있는데, 여기에 이렇게 나와 있어. ‘김윤옥 MB 재산 기부하면 허경영 지지할 것’ 이렇게 제목이 나왔죠? 그 다음에 여기 또 뭐에요? ‘허경영 대선 후보 지지하겠다.’ 김윤옥 사진이 나와 있죠? 그러니까 이게 대통령 영부인도 허경영을 알고 있는 거예요 이게. 그래서 김연옥 여사가 갑자기 이명박 대통령 비서실장이었던 (류우익이가 비서실장 했지)사람한테 “아니 재산 기부하면은 내가 뭘로 애들 시집 장가 보내냐. 그러니까 나는 앞으로 아들하고 같이 해서 허경영을 지지하겠다. 허경영을 지지할 테니 그리 알아라.” 하니까 이 사람 류우익씨가 엄청 놀란 거야.

이게 자선전 회고록에 나온 개인 이야기는 내 거 하나밖에 없어. 다 딱딱한 이야기뿐인데 내 것만 재밌는 이야기야. 그러니까 내 공약을 사람들이 많이 안다는 결론이다 이 말이에요. 한번 읽어보세요. 허경영 공약을… 그럼 97페이지.. 허경영의 공약을 다 안다 이 말이야.

양고문님이 한번 읽어봐. 자네가 한번 읽어봐. 학생이 한번 읽어봐. 마이크 잡고 한번 읽어봐

대통령은 2007년 대선 당시 본인의 사제를 사회에 환원하겠다고 약속했다.

김윤옥 여사의 허경영 지지 전말.
대통령은 2007년 대선 당시 본인의 사재를 사회에 환원하겠다고 약속했다. 대통령 취임 후 약속대로 331억 원을 출원하여 청계재단을 만들었다 2014년 12월 회고록 회의를 하면서 물어봤다. 사제를 출연하시는 데에 가족들과 상의는 하셨습니까? 나는 어머니께 자식들에게 유산을 물려주지 않겠다고 약속했어. 그 약속을 지키고자 했지만, 아내한테는 미안한 마음이 있었지. 그래서 대선 티비 연설 원고에 그 내용을 넣어 읽어보라고 했지. 그러자 ( ) 전 실장이 덧붙였다. 대통령 선거 때였을 거예요. 테니스장 옆인가. 여사님과 마주쳤어요.

그때 여사님은 제가 사제 출원을 하도록 대통령을 부추겼다고 생각하신 것 같아요. 저를 보더니, 대뜸하시는 말씀이 ( )님 저는 이제 아들하고 상의해 허경영을 지지해야 하겠습니다. 재산을 전부 기부하면 아들 장가는 어떻게 보냅니까? 허경영 후보가 공약으로 신혼부부에게 몇억 원씩 준다고 하니까 우리는 허경영 지지하렵니다. 고 하시는 거예요. 그래서 제가 허경영은 후보 탈퇴해 지지해도 소용없습니다고 말씀드렸죠. 순간 회의장은 웃음 바다가 되었다.

그게 끝이지? OK. 그게 끝인데 이게 영부인은 이명박 대통령이 기부한 걸 그렇게 좋게 본 건 아니다 이 말인데 사실 이런 기사를 책에다 내는 것은 불가능한 거예요. 그럼 그걸 왜 냈을까? 이 책을 만드는데 준비된 원고가 산더미 같은데, 전직 장관 수석들이 일 년 동안 매주 한 번씩 만나서 회의를 하고 발췌를 해서 만든 책이야. 그리고 출판사가 또 심사를 해 가지고 거기서 또 다 골라내. 그래서 다 잘려 나갔어. 그런데 맨 마지막 남은게 허경이의 이야기 하나만 들어간 거예요. 다 잘려 나가고. 그러니까 왜 넣어 놓았을까? 이 사람들은 청와대에 있을 때부터 허경영의 인기 여론을 다 알고 있어요. 알고 있는 거야.

이게 자기들한테는 엄청난 담보야.이 김연옥 여사가 상당히 순수한 면이 있어요. 그래서 내가 보면 저분들이 저 내용을 넣은 것은 저것이 젊은 사람들의 지지를 내가 많이 받고 있다는 증거야. 그래서 자기들의 자서전이 젊은이들한테 또 많이 읽히기를 바라는 거야. 책이 이거 앞에 있는 책은. 전부 대통령의 업무를 본 이야기라 딱딱해서 아무도 안 읽어요. 이것만 읽는 대. 이것만 읽는데 내것이 들어가 있으니까 이게 텔레비젼 화면으로 많이 나왔어 또. 이게. 그러니까 나는 심심하면 한번씩 내 공약 때문에 텔레비전에 나오는 거야 하여튼. 허허허.

자 그러면 빨리빨리 하고 이제 끝을 내자고. 질문하고.

이게 전부 내가 정자로 쓴 거야. 요거는 컴플리트(completely) 이거는 버리파이브(verifiably) 요거는 퍼먼틀리(permanently) 그다음에 이거는 엘리미네이트(eliminate). 이거는 핵을 제거하는 거예요. 이것은 핵을 영구적으로, 이것은 핵을 검증 가능하게, 이것은 핵을 완벽하게, 컴플리틀리, 완벽하게. 이게 내가 미국에 갔을 때 부시한테 이야기한 거야. 얘들이 Would you please tell me how to drive north korea plutonium project. 북한의 플루토늄을 허경영씨는 어떻게 생각하느냐 이렇게 물었을 때 내가 이야기해 준 거예요. 이거는 내가 한 게 아니야. 미국이 이야기한 거예요. 미국이 나한테 말하기를 완벽하게, 검증 가능하게, 영구적으로 제거하겠다고 하잖아.

근데 이 사람들이 북한의 핵과 이란 핵과 파키스탄 핵을 그냥 놔둬 버렸어. 그러니까 파키스탄이, 이슬람이 막 들어오고 있어. 그 다음에 북한 핵이 이란이나 이라크로 갈 수가 있어. 또 이란에 핵이 있어. 지금 미국이 이슬람권에 핵을 놔두고 있는 거예요. 잘 들어요. 그래서 나는 뭐라고 하냐면 핵을 충분히 FULLY 버리파이브도 마찬가지야 V R I,,,,,,,, 마찬가지예요. 이것은 퍼먼트리가 아니고 나를 바라보세요. 이리벌져블리Irreversibly예요.

일리벌져블리. 이것은 되돌릴 수 없게 이것은 영구적이고 이것은 되돌릴 수 없게. 나는 핵을 되돌릴 수 없고 검증 가능하게 충분히. 그러니까 북한의 발전소에서 핵을 쓰는 거는 놔둘 수 있는 거야. 그 중에 핵을 충분히 제거하면 되지 완벽하게 제거한다는 거예요. 자 이것은 검증 가능한 거 좋아. 영구적으로. 되돌릴 수 없게 일리버저블리. 그 다음에 나는 엘리미네이트가 아니고 뭐가 있어요? 디스멘틀(Dismantle).이 디스멘틀은 핵을 폐기 하라는 거예요. 폐기. 이것은 북한 스스로 핵을 폐기하고, 북한이 대들 수 없도록 하고, 검증 가능하고, 충분히. 그러면 이것은 북한이 받아들여. 내가 얘기하는 이것은 북한이 받아줄 수가 있어요. 받아주고 이렇게 하려고 해. 근데 미국은 요렇게 하라는 거예요.

미국은 이란이나 파키스란이나 인도나 이스라엘의 핵을 묵인하는 거예요. 지금 그러면 이것들이 이슬람.. 여기가 북한이 빠졌네. 그러면 이 핵들이 전부 어디로 가느냐? 이슬람권으로 이동해. 그러면 머지 않아서 북한의 핵 기술자가 이란으로 가고 파키스탄으로도 가고 다 가요. 그럼 여러분들은 이 사람들을 막을 수가 없잖아요. 그러면 어떻게 돼요? 전 세계가 앞으로 종교 핵전쟁이 일어난다. 그래서 이 아이에스가 누구를 따라가고 있냐면 천주교를 따라가고 있어요. 아이에스가 지금 하고 있는게.아이에스가 하는 것이 꼭 천주교가 옛날에 50만 명 정도를 불에 화형시킨것과 같이 따라가고 있어요. 종교가 다르다는 이유로. 저 사람이 믿는 종교는 지금 귀신을 믿는 거야 저 여자 죽여 그러면 그냥 화형이야. 불에 태워서 죽여. 불에 태워 죽인 사람이 50만 명. 그 외에 전쟁으로 죽인 사람은 말도 못하게 많아. 그런데 이 아이에스가 드디어 이제 사람을 불에 태워 죽이더라구. 화형식을 해요. 그게 경전에 있거든. 성경에도 있고. 이슬람 경전에도 그게 나와요. 그렇게 해 가지고 이게 되겠냐고 이게. 이런 종교들은 결국은 종교 전쟁을 앞으로 할텐데 이슬람하고 카톨릭하고 만만한 존재들이 아니야. 내가 미국에 가서 핵 이야기를 해 보니까 그 사람들은 북한에 대해서만 이런 걸 주장해. 그러면서 북한의 핵을 해결하겠다는 의지가 안 보여. 처음에는 좀 부드럽게 해가지고 가자. 그러니까 이 부드럽게 하자는 것을 반대하는 거예요. 안 된다는 거야 이런 거. 이거 안 되는 거예요. 얘네들은 이런 강경 노선이에요. 그래서 미국은. 어 괜찮아. 미국은..여러분들이 이 핵에 대해서 예사로 생각하는데 어느 날 갑자기 남산에 핵폭탄 하나가 딱 떨어지면 우리나라는 서울 사람들중 대략 3000만 명이 없어져 버려. 인구가 밀집되어 있으니까. 하나가 딱 떨어지면 3000명이 없어지고 어떤 사람이 방사능 가루를 한 봉지 가져와서 팔당 댐에 넣어버리면 몇백 년 동안 우리는 한강 물을 못 먹어. 무슨 말인지 이해가 가죠? 서울에는 사람이 못 살아요. 아주 간단하지만 어마어마하게 위험한 사람들이 저기 있는 거예요.

저 사람들은 죽는 거 조금도 두려워 안해. 자기들이 한번 죽는 거는 뭐 간단하게 생각해. 그러니까 여러분들은 허경영이가 대한민국의 대통령이 되어 가지고 세계 통일을 빨리 안 하면 이거 큰일 난다는 걸 지금 모르고 있어. 꼭 내가 옛날 25년 전에, 23년 전에 결혼하면 1억 애기 낳으면 3000만 원 해싸니까 저 미친놈이 어디 있나 그랬어. 근데 그때 줬으면… 우리 박 회장님도 나한테 이야기 하더라고. 이 때 줬으면 우리나라가 인구가 8000만, 국민소득이 8만 불, 세계 1 위야. 세계 1 위가 될 수 있었다 이 말이야. 그런데도 여러분들은 내가 말할 때는 다 한쪽 귀로 흘려. 지금 이 세상이 이런 위험을 안고 있다 이거예요. 근데 또 월남은 프랑스가 보증을 해 가지고 키신져가 육 자 회담을 했어. 월남은 평화적 통화 주장한다.

그래 가지고 미군과 한국군이 철수했는데 내가 그때 철수해서 왔어. 내가 철수하기 한 달 전에 월남이 공산화 돼버린 거예요. 아니 그냥 우리 백마 부대와 사이공까지 관공서고 뭐고 그냥 이 베트공 깃발이 안 붙어있는 데가 없는 거야. 아니 지금 월맹군은 오지도 않았는데 월남 전체에 베트공 깃발이야. 그러더니 갑자기 미국에서 백마 부대 철수 하래. 그래서 백마 부대가 철수를 하는 거야. 하루에 몇천 명씩 철수하는데 공항에 500명씩 싣고 가는 대형 비행기가 나트랑 공항에서 계속 뜨는 거야. 철수를 다 끝냈어. 내가 맨 마지막 비행기를 탔어요.

맨 마지막에 비행기를 탔는데, 이 맨 마지막 비행기에 사단의 간부들이 제일 많이 탔어. 사단의 간부들이 타니까 비행기 안에 뭐가 많이 들어갔냐면. 장군 뭐 연관 급들이 다 타니까 비행기 짐칸 안에 물건이 많은 거예요. 그래서 비행기가 뜨다가 실패를 해버렸어요.허허허. 나트랑 공항이 짧아 가지고. 짐을 너무 많이 실어서. 음.. 들어오세요. 비행기가 활주로 끝까지 달리다가 안 되겠으니까 스톱 해 버리네. 그래 가지고 이제 우리가 다시 비행기에서… 비행기가… 비행기에 실은 물건은 안 내리더라구. 서울까지 오려고 넣은 휘발유를 한 두시간 동안 다 빼버려. 그러더니 다시 비행기가 뜨더라구. 그게 어디까지 가냐면 다낭 공항까지 가. 다낭 공항에서 기름을 넣으면 되는 거예요.

다낭 공항은 나트랑 공항 보다 10배가 길어. 거기는 북폭하는 곳이니까. 다낭 공항까지 가기 위해서 기름을 다 빼더니, 비행기가 뜨더라고. 기름 무게가 대단한 모양이야. 기름을 다 빼니까 비행기가 막 아슬아슬하게 떠요. 뜨는데. 이 비행기를 타러 가는 길이. 세상에 백마 부대가 빈 공항까지 마지막 가는 그 거리가 10키로 정도 되는데 완전 철수 작전이야. 완전 분장해 가지고 공항까지 전투를 하면서 가는 거야. 차 타고 그냥 가는 게 아니야.탱크부터 시작해서 중무장을 해가지고 공항까지 가는데 월남이 완전 공산화가 돼 있는 거예요.

그래서 그냥… 빨리빨리 그냥 들어와 버려, 문 놔두고. 그래서 비행기가… 월남에 있는 전체 공항까지 가는 곳에 베트콩들이 다 있어서 우리가 위험하니까 작전을 해 가면서 공항까지 갔는데 공항에 도착해서도 3일동안 비행기를 못 타는 거야. 그러니까 우리는 땅바닥에서 자는 거야. 비행장에서 전부 다 3일을 땅바닥에서 자요. 비행기를 타야 되니까. 이게 군인들이 엄청 많이 와 있으니까 비행기를 한 번 타려면 기다려야 되는 거예요. 그래서 우리가 3일 만에 비행기를 탔는데 이놈의 비행기가 못 뜨는 거야. 그게 사단 사령부가 마지막 철수하는 거예요. 그래서 사단장도 탔고, 다 탔지. 그 비행기가 다시 다낭까지 가더라구. 다낭에 가서 다시 기름을 넣더니, 두 시간 만에 뜨더라고. 뜨는데. 뜨는 데 말입니다 다낭 공항을 보니까 전부 월맹폭격기 수백 대가 그냥 쫙 대기하고 있는 거야.

위에서 밑을 쳐다보니까. 그렇게 딱 철수하고 나서 며칠이 지나니까 월남이 공산화가 됐어요. 우리가 맨 마지막에 나왔어요. 나왔는데, 프랑스가 보증을 서기로 하고 키신저 가 몇 년 만에 육 자 회담을 해서 남북이 육 자 회담이 성사됐어. 됐는데, 얼마 안 가서 한 달 만에 그냥 공산화가 돼버리는 거예요. 그래서 우리나라는 절대, 북한과 통일을 하면 망하는 거예요.

어떤 경우라도 북한과 통일을 하면 우리 나라는 그날 이후로 문 닫아. 대한민국은 없어져요. 그런데 그걸 모르고 지금 청와대에서 통일이 어떻다 하는 그것은 넌센스야. 앞으로 조심해야 돼. 왜냐하면 북한과의 통일은 늦을 수록 좋아. 이거 얘들이 알아놔야 돼요. 북한과의 통일은 내가 2029년으로 잡아. 세계 통일은 2030년, 아시아 통일은 2025년. 왜 내가 이런말을 오늘 지금 하느냐? 사람들이 무슨 통일 위원회를 만들고 뭐 어쩌고 이러는거야. 만약 공산주의와 통일을 해 가지고 통일이 된다? 그거는 상상도 하지 말아요. 독일이 통일을 할 때 서독은 동독과 지엔피가 3대1 이야.

그리고 우리나라는 지금 남한하고 북한이 40대 일이야. 40대 일.응 차이가 나. 그러면 40대 1인데 지금 통일을 하면 우리는 같이 망해. 남북이 동시에 망해버려. 그러면 왜 망하냐? 우리나라 해군 산업, 실업자, 그 다음에 우리나라 조선산업이 세계 1 위야. 그럼 우리나라 조선산업이 그대로 망해. 실업자가 300만 명이 나와. 왜? 화물을 러시아로 북한이 실어 나르면 우리나라는 망하는 거야. 그래서 배가 없어져 버리는 거예요. 일본 사람들도 우리 기차로 싣고 가. 그럼 다 망해. 그래서 우리는 러시아나 유럽으로 가는 철도를 연결하면 나라가 망해요.

절대로 그걸 운행하면 안 돼. 그래서 우리는 당분간은. 해운 산업과 조선 산업의 종사자가 굉장히 많아. 그 경제가 국가 경제 몰락이야. 근데 아무것도 모르면서 시베리아 가스를 기차로 싣고 온다? 꿈 같은 이야기야. 그거 싣고 오면 뭘 해. 미국에서 배로도 싸구려 가스가 얼마든지 오는데. 이런 것은 말도 안 되는거야. 그러니까 나라에 이 조선 산업의 하도급 업체가 어마어마해. 다 문을 닫는 거예요. 그래서 우리는 지엔피가 40대 1에 세계적으로 통일되는 나라가 없어. 3대1. 비슷해야 이게 통일이 되는거야. 그런데도 서독 사람들은 지금 동독 사람들을 못마땅하게 생각해. 저것들 때문에 내가 세금을 더 낸다는 거예요. 지금 동독과 서독이 세금이 비싸요. 왜? 저 동독 거지들 때문에 우리가 세금을 더 낸다는거지. 그런데 우리는 이게 뭐예요? 40대 1이야. 그런데도 민생은 생각 안 하고 뭘 해요? 통일해 가지고 또 뭐 개헌이다 뭐다 나라를 초토화시키려고 해. 내가 정부를 비판 하는건 아닌데 정신들을 좀 똑바로 차려야 돼. 통일이 뭐예요? 통일이. 지금 우리나라 내부의 통일이 더 급해. 우리나라의 통일은 가정부터 통일시켜야 돼. 부모와 자식 간을 교육정책으로 다 이간질 해 놓고 말이에요. 뭘 통일하겠다는 거예요 지금? 남북이 지금 통일이 되면 지금이 가장 위험한 시기가 되는게 뭐냐면. 통일이 되면 북한에 있는 처녀들이 전부 남한에 있는 졸부들의 세컨드가 돼. 여러분 이런 생각이 보통 일인 줄 알아요? 맨날 사업은 안 하고 북한에 여자 잡으러 다니고 돈 가지고 가서 처녀들 매수하러 가. 차 가지고 가서. 불을 보듯이 뻔해. 왜 이런 사람들을 위해서, 졸부들을 위해서 통일을 시켜줘야 되노? 근로자는 다 굶어 죽는데.

그래서 통일이라는 말을 함부로 쓰지 말라 이거야. 내가 뭐 대통령 하는 거 반대하는 거 없어요. 그러나 통일 이야기 함부로 하는 사람들은 밥 먹고 할 일 없으면 책이나 읽어. 세계에서 최고의 통일 전문가가 허경영이에요. 이런 이야기들, 이런 핵 이야기를 지금 국회의 장, 국방위원장도 잘 몰라요. 세계 최고 핵 전문가가 허경영이에요.

이게 20년 전 이야기야. 20년 전 이야기. 그래서 통일은.. 지금 뭐 시간이 다 됐으니까… 통일의 3대 요소를 보면 통합이라는 거, 남북통합이라는 거 이거는 아무 의미가 없어 지금. 그 다음에 통합 다음에 뭐예요?

통일의 3대 요소. 융합이고 화합이지? 내가 이걸 왜 이야기 해주냐면 통합 융합 화합이 있는데, 이게 통일의 첫째, 둘째, 셋째. 그러면 통합의 3대요소가 뭐야? 통합의 3대 요소가 뭐냐고? 연합, 결합, 집합이야. 이거는 영토를 연합하겠다는 거예요. 이게 결합하고 집합한다는 거. 이거 융합은 뭐야? 융합. 통일의 3대 요소 중 융합의 3대 요소. 맨날 이야기 해 줘도 까먹어. 혼합, 우리 박 회장이 하는 발효가 여기 들어있지? 들어와요. 화합의 3대 요소.
저기 뭐야? 자 그러면 내가 이어서 이야기할께. 화합의 3대 요소가 양보 소통 박해인데, 우리나라 사람들이 지금 부자지간에 이웃지간에 형제지간에 양보 되나지금? 소통되고 있나? 안 돼. 박애 정신이 있나? 없어.이런 국민을 데리고 통일을 한다고? 먼저 교육부터 시켜. 국민 교육부터 시켜. 허경영을 KBS에 출연시켜가지고, 통일이 뭐고 통일의 원리를 몇 시간씩.. 출연을 시켜.

세상에 통일의 원리가 뭔지, 양보 소통 박해, 혼합과 용해와 발효, 연합 결합 집합. 이런 통일의 원리를 분석하는 교수가 대한민국에 한 명도 없습니다.

그래서 우리가 서로서로 양보하고 서로서로 소통하고 서로서로 박애해야되. 대통령이 청와대 있을 때 전화를 받았으면 세월호가 뒤집어졌을 때 직접 대통령 전용 헬기를 타고 30분 내에 진도항에 도착해야 돼. 300명이, 몇십 명이 물속에 가라앉는데 청와대에서 지시했을 때 바로 현장으로 날아가야지. 대통령 전용기 타면 30분이면 진도항에 도착해. 공수부대 특전대 UDT 다 집합시켜. 물속에 뛰어들어가. 끄집어 내 전부. 대통령이 진두지휘해서. 소통이 안 되고 박애 정신이 없는 거야.

공직자들이 요런 것만. 요런 것에만 관심이 있어 가지고. 양보 소통 박애가 안 되는데 무슨 다른 나라를 넘 봐? 다른 나라를. 제일 먼저 통일부를 없애야 돼. 독일이나 전 세계 분단국은 통일부가 없었어. 왜 우리만 통일부를 만들어 놓고 남한테 오해를 받냐고. 누가 보면 통일부 만들어 놓고 적화하려고 하는 걸로, 흡수 통일하려고 하는 걸로 생각하잖아. 통일부 없애야 돼요. 그 다음에 여성부 없애야 돼. 여자가 무슨 뭐 장애인입니까? 여자나 남자나 똑같아. 여성부니 장애인부니 이런 거는 없어요. 그냥 보건복지부안에 여성국이 있고 장애국이 있어. 무슨 여성부야. 여성부가. 세금 좀 아껴야 돼. 통일부가 우리나라에 있는 한 통일이 돼요 안 돼요? 안 돼요.

내가 이 사람하고 연애를 하는데, 어떤 여자하고 연애를 하는데 연애부나 결혼부를 하나 만들어 놓고 해보자 하면 여자가 무서워서 도망가버려요. 자꾸자꾸 만나다가 서로 정이 들면 결혼은 부수적인 거야. 그걸 결혼을 전제로 사귀면 이상한 일이 생겨. 남북 통일도 서로 좋게 대화하고, 이산가족 만나고 이렇게 하다 보면 나중에 “야 우리가 이거 이러니 그냥 같이 하자. 뭐 그러면 우리는 그때 가서 끝까지 통일을 안 하겠다고 해야 돼. 왜 가난한 사람이 부자와 같이 살겠다고 해? 나는 그게 의심스럽다 이 말이야. 우리는 통일 안 하겠다고 북한에 계속 주장을 해야 되는 거야.

그러면 사람들이 우리하고 통일을 해야 되겠다 우리도 좀 잘 살아보자 이렇게 나오면 그때는 마지못해서. 뭐 그러면 조건을 좀 더 확실하게 합시다 이렇게 하는거지. 그러면 아시아 통일 하고 세계 통일을 할 때 북한하고 통일하자. 단둘이 통일하는 건 못 믿는다. 이게 내 목적이야. 알겠어요? 뭐 월남처럼 될 일 있어요? 그러니까 통일은 우리가 양보 소통 박애 정신이 확실할 때, 북한이 통일하자고 수십 년 동안 사정을 할 때, 그러면 그 때 우리는 한번 생각해 봐야 돼요. 근데 우리 정부에서 통일부를 가지고 있다? 이 뭐하는 사람들이에요?

부끄러워 죽겠어. 없애야 돼. 오늘 내가 강의에서 하고 싶은 이야기들이 있었는데, 너무 답답해서.. 요새 뭐 개헌이니 통일이니 뭐 이따위 소리를 하면 우리 국민들의 민생부터 좀 해결합시다라고 해야 됩니다. 민생 해결. 민생 해결, 애들 교육 문제. 자 한 과목만 시험 보고 열 과목 수업을 받더라도 시험은 한 과목만 보고 수능시험이 없어져야 돼. 없어지면 애들이 한 과목만 보니까 여자가 집에 와서 엄마 콩나물도 다듬어주고 일도 하는 거야. 해 가면서 자기 공부 한 과목만 열심히 하면 되는 거야. 그래 가지고 한 과목을 중학교 고등학교에서 음악 좋아하는 사람은 음악 시험만 봐. 6년간. 음악 시험의 합계가 5000점이라고 하면 어느 대학을 갈지 딱 정해져. 이래야지 하루 딱 정해서 수능 시험을 봐가지고 그게 평생의 운명을 좌우하면 돼요 안 돼요? 정신 병자들이 하는 거예요. 그러니까 6년 동안 미술을 좋아하는 사람은 미술시험, 국어를 좋아하는 사람은 국어시험, 영어를 좋아하는 사람은 영어 시험만 봐. 거기의 총 합계가 자기가 가야 될 대학을 정해요 간단해요 안 해요? 한 과목만 열심히 하면 되잖아. 그러면 과외비 들어가 안 들어가? 근데 뭐 하자는 거예요. 지금 이렇게 해 놓으니까 애들이 부모한테 반항하는 거야. 소통돼 안 돼? 안 돼. 박해 돼? 안 돼. 애들의 여론을 조사하니까 제일 무서운 사람이 어머니래요. 제일 무서운 사람이. 그래서 우리나라는 내가 생각하는 것과 반대로 가고 있다. 또 우리나라는 망하는 길로만 가고 있다.

지금 정치인들 꼬락서니를 보니까 우리나라 미래가 그 사람들의 얼굴을 보면 알 수 있어. 얼굴을 보면. 얼굴이 하나도 제대로 생긴 사람이 없어. 아니 오늘은 뭐 이런 예토나 탁새나 지옥이나 차안이나 바라나 사바세계나 초심 이런 세계. 이런 세계를 우리가 벗어나서 이게 복을 추구하는 세계야. 이 사바세계도. 그러면 이 덕을 추구하는 발심, 발심이 단어가 길다고 그랬죠? 발심 극락 피안 낙원 천국.기독교에서 말하는 천국. 정토. 이런 것은… 절이나 교회에 너무 열심히 다니는 사람들이 결국 세계 전쟁을 일으킨다는 겁니다.

토요일날 일요일날 가족들하고 오손도손 엄마하고 대화해야 되는데 이 종교들은 부모와 자식을 바깥으로 끄집어내버려. 부모를. 그러니까 애들이 평일날은 엄마 아빠가 직장 가니까 못 보는데, 토요일 일요일에 엄마하고 오손도손 이야기를 좀 해야 돼겠다 하는데 갔다하면 교회에서 하루종일이야. 어떻게든 자식들과 부모를 50년 60년간 분리를 시켰어. 종교들이. 그러니 애들이 어떻게 돼? 토요일 일요일 날 집에서 오손도손 애들하고 이야기할 수 있는 시간이 없는 거야. 다 불려 나가. 다. 너는 집으로 가. 나는 어른 있는 대로 가고. 교회에서도 다 따로 따로 떨어져서 엄마 아빠하고 이야기 이야기할 수 있는 시간은 없어. 그게 대한민국이야. 그래서 유럽에서 종교가 다 없어진 거야. 왜 그렇겠어요? 잘 보세요.

현명한 사람들은 거기를 벗어나고 있어. 여러분들도 이제 허경영 말을 들으면 돼. 허경영 부르면 되고. 이미 여기 있는 여러분들은 낙원으로 갈 수 있는 사람들이지만 나는 지금 인터넷을 보고 하는 이야기야. 여기 있는 분들은 하나도 고치지 않아도 돼요. 다 천사같은 분들이야. 그러나 우리나라 굉장히 위험하다는 거, 나는 북한이 언제 무슨 일을 벌일지 다 알고 있어요. 그렇기 때문에 지금 내가 기분이 좋은 게 아니야. 나는 이런 걸 막으러 와 있는 사람이니까 여러분들이 나의 말을 아주 잘 듣고, 이 진리를, 이대로 우리가 복을 추구했었는데 절대 안 된다는 거. 종교는 모든 사람들에게 뭘 팔아먹어요? 복을 팔아. 이것을 파는 사람이 없어요. 덕을 파는 사람이 없어. 지금 전부 이걸 빌고 앉아있는 거야. 이게 뭐야? 이게 이거야.

이거. 내가 그래서 여러분들한테 오늘은 이것을 강의한 거예요. 복하고 덕의 차이를 확실히 여러분들이 알아놔야 돼.
자 누가 나와요.저기서.박 총장 이거 치우라고.

자연부화가 돼게 돼 있는데..

요즘은 그렇지. 요즘은 인공 부화를 시키니까 이제 어미가 필요가 없어. 요즘은 어미가 필요 없지. 그러니까 그 닭은 수정란이 아니야. 우리가 지금 말하는 거는 졸탁동시는, 수정란은 다 어미와 병아리가 시기가 맞아야 돼. 다 그렇게 쪼아야 돼. 졸탁동시 돼야 돼는데 요즘 자연 부화는, 그냥 엄마 닭이 존재하지가 않아요.

그래서 그 유정란이 아니라 무정란이라고 해. 무정란은 기계로 그냥 부화해서 나와버려. 그러면 유정란은 쪼아줘야지. 무정란은 안 쪼아주지. 그렇지. 무정란은 기계로 부활을 시켜버리는데 뭐. 그래서..

퀴즈 하나 말씀하셨는데 답을 주셔야지요. 뭐 임산부가 이거 한다니까 하는데…

임산부가 흡연하는 거? 아니 여러분들은 임산부가 흡연하는 걸 뭐라고 하는지 몰라요?

애 태우는 마음이에요. 애 태운다. 뱃 속에 애를 태운다 이 말이야. 담배 태우는 게 아니라 애 태우는 거예요. 그래서 그걸 애 태운다는 거예요. 애 태운다. 아무리 여자가, 신혼부부가 애타더라도, 애를 태우면 되겠어요? 허허허.

그래서 애 태운다야. 내가 그걸 깜빡했네. 아까 가르쳐 준다는 게. 애 태운다 그래. 뱃속에 애 죽이는 거예요.

아까 죄가 된다하는 그 표현들보다 복을 잡아 갈망하면 오히려 어 사망이 된다 이렇게 하는지..

사망? 그러니까 죄가, 죄의 값은 사망이라고 그러잖아. 죄가 사망으로 가든지 불구자가 되든지 그러면 되지. 뭐? 말씀하세요. 유튜브를 보고 오셨어? 우리 몇 번 오셨지? 두 번째 오시지?

제가 주변분들께 말씀을 드려보면 저를 이상하게 보는데요.

아직까지는 그런 사람들이 어른들 중에 많이 있어.

저희 딸이, 엄마가 이제 허경영 총재님 거를 되게 좋아하고 따른다 제가 집에서 유튜브를 계속 보잖아요. 그래서 얘기하면 니네 엄마가 어디가 아프냐는 소리를 하더래요.

그 얘기를 저한테 하는데….

옛날에 예수님도 그랬고 부처님도 그랬어요.

그것은 지금을 말씀하시는데 나는 지지자가 정해져 있는데, 엄청 많아요. 많은데 텔레비젼나 여러 가지 정보에 갇혀 있는 사람, 뭐 그런 사람들은 아직까지 남아 있어. 앞으로 내 책이 나와야 돼. 그리고 내가 KBS 공중파에 나가서 강의를 할 때가 와.

책은 언제쯤 나올까요?

책은 조금 있으면 나올 거예요. 한두 달 있으면 나오는데, 책이 나오면 이제 그 사람들이.. 텔레비젼에서 내가 광고를 해. 광고를 하면 텔레비전에 나올 거 아니에요. KBS에서 나와서 내 책 광고를 하겠지? 돈만 내면 하니까. 거기서, “여러분 이제 우리나라가 살고 싶다면 보세요. 불황을 타개할 모든 비밀이 여기 허경영의 책 속에 있습니다. 여러분, 지금 굉장히 경제적으로 어렵죠? 내 말을 안 들어서 그렇습니다. 이 책을 보세요.” 이렇게 선전해요. 그럼 사람들이 이게 무슨 소리야 저게 달밤에..허허. 이러면서 사람들이 책을 보게 돼요.

나는 그게 좋은 게, 그런 마인드가 사람들한테 있는 것이, 나는 그것이 내 노이즈 마케팅 방법이에요. 그게 내 홍보가 잘 돼 있는 거야. 그 사람들은 언제나 내 팬이 될 수가 있어요. 왜?내가 무슨 책을 내놓으면 또 무슨 이상한 소리를 했나 한번 보자 무슨 말을 했길래 사람들이 저렇게 흥분하고 저러나 하면서 내 책을 보게 돼요. 보게 되면서 그 사람들이 내…그러니까 옛날에 사람들이 예수를 죽일 때 꼭 유대인들이 다 그랬어. 예수한테 간다고 그러면 “니가 무슨 뱃놈이냐? 너 초등학교밖에 안 나왔냐?” 이런 사람들이 거길 간 거야. 공부 좀 한다고 한 놈이 예수 따라다닌다고 하면 “니가 무슨 뱃사공이야? 왜 예수를 따라다니냐? 거기는 무식한 놈들이 따라다니는데야.” 이래요. 근데 그 당시에 예수가 제일 유식한 사람이었어. 그런데 유대인들중에 그 예수라는 사람을 따라다니는 사람은 공부한 사람이 없어. 전부 무식쟁이들이야 그냥. 그러니까 모든 사람이 요렇게 보고, 예수가 자기 고향에 갔다가 맞아 죽을 뻔했어.

그게 뭡니까? 그래서 인자는 고향에 갈 수가 없다. 고향에 가면 인자는 버림을 받는다고 했지. 쟤가 옛날에 초등학교 때 코 올리고 다니던 애인데 지가 무슨 메시아라고 그래?

기가 막히잖아요. 동네 할머니가 와서 예수 따귀를 때려. “야 이 녀석아! 아이고 니도 나이가 벌써 많이 들었네.” 메시야를 보고 이러고 앉아 있어. 그러고 고향에 가니까 무슨 망신이야. 그때 유대인들이 전부 예수를 그렇게 취급해. 내가 누구라는 게 많이 바뀌어졌어요. 아직은 나한테 오는게 병이나 고치러 오는 줄 알아. 그러나 그것이 나중에 모든 사람들에게 엄청나게 전파가 돼. 그러니까 중국이나 미국이나 캐나다나 이런 데서 공부 많이 하는 사람들이 나한테 전화가 오잖아. 팬들이. 전 세계 한 2억 명인데, 2억이 작습니까? 무슨 교회 이런 거는 말이 안 되는 거예요. 엄청나게 많아. 어떤 교회 신도 이거는 나하고 비교를 하면 안 돼요. 그래서 나는 지지자가 세계적으로 한 2억명이 되요

또, 이번에 중앙일보 여론조사한 거, 박 총장 중앙일보에서 크리스마스 때 만나고 싶은 사람 랭킹에 허경영이 들어간 거 봤어요? 박 총장 그거 가지고 와.

우리가 굳이 하려고, 변명하려고 하고 알리려고 노력할 필요가 없지 않을까요?

어, 그렇지. 그 사람들한테 그냥 본대로 이야기를 해주고 지나치게 그 사람들을 막… 어디 있나? 어디 있노?

오늘 두 번째로 오신 분이 총재님한테 뭐 여러 가지 질문을 하시는데요. 모든 것은 시간이 좀 흘러야 되고 여기 이 자리에 못오는 딸이나 그 분들은 생각이 정리가 돼야 동기화 될 수 있잖아요. 그래서 그것을 더 크게 설명하면 졸탁동기입니다. 그래서 여러분 그렇게 아시고요. 모든 사회의 구조도 그렇고…

사바세계: 욕망의 모래성, 고해의 바다

이 세계는 불교에서 ‘사바세계’라 부릅니다. 사바세계는 여자 위에 모래성을 쌓는 것과 같습니다. 여자에게 잘 보이기 위해 돈을 벌고 명예를 좇는 모든 행위가 결국 모래성을 쌓는 것과 다름없습니다. 심지어 파도 파(波)자를 써서 여자 위에 파도가 치는 세상이라고도 합니다. 여자가 들어가는 글자는 대부분 부정적인 의미를 담고 있습니다. 투기(投機)나 질투(嫉妬)처럼 말입니다. 이처럼 여자가 들어가는 세상은 나쁜 세상으로 인식되어 왔습니다.

옛날 문자를 만든 사람들은 이 세상을 여자 위에 모래성을 쌓는 곳으로 보았습니다. 여러분이 공부할 생각은 하지 않고 돈만 좇으며, 나이가 들어서야 겨우 포기하는 부부 문제가 평생을 따라다니는 곳이 바로 이 사바세계입니다. 불교에서는 이를 ‘찬(爨)’이라 하여 지옥 같은 세상으로 표현합니다. 사바세계의 반대는 ‘피안(彼岸)’이며, 이는 극락세계와 같은 의미입니다. 우리는 이 사바세계를 넘어 극락세계, 즉 피안으로 가기 위해 노력해야 합니다.

복과 덕: 하늘에 닿는 길
우리는 항상 긍정적으로 생각해야 합니다. 대포가 떨어져도 좋은 쪽으로 생각해야 합니다. 제가 베트남 전쟁에 참전했을 때, 도착한 날 옆 막사에 폭탄이 떨어져 여덟 명이 죽는 참혹한 경험을 했습니다. 포탄의 방향에 따라 생사가 갈리는 것이 바로 이 사바세계의 현실입니다. 벽 하나를 사이에 두고 지옥과 낙원이 갈리는 곳, 그것이 바로 사바세계입니다.

지옥의 반대는 낙원이고, 사바세계의 반대는 극락입니다. 우리가 사는 곳은 탁한 세상, 즉 오탁악세(五濁惡世)이며, 그 반대가 천국입니다. 우리는 초심과 발심을 통해 이 탁한 세상을 벗어나야 합니다.

복(福)은 삼세(전생, 현생, 내생) 동안 행한 선행에 대한 인과응보로 받는 것입니다. 반면 덕(德)은 자신이 베푸는 행위입니다. 현재 우리가 사는 곳은 더러운 땅, 예토(穢土)이며, 하늘은 정토(淨土)입니다. 예토에서 정토로 가려면 복을 지어야 합니다. 복은 삼세 동안 지은 모든 선행에 대한 응보이며, 덕은 그 복을 남에게 베푸는 것입니다.

복을 많이 지어 편안하게 살면 그 복을 낭비하는 것이 됩니다. 그러나 빌 게이츠처럼 자신에게 온 복을 남을 위해 베풀면 그것이 바로 덕이 됩니다. 덕을 짓는 자는 복을 구하지 않습니다. 복과 덕은 구분되며, 덕이 복보다 상위 개념입니다. 악은 선을 이기지 못하고, 선은 복을 이기지 못하며, 복은 덕을 이기지 못합니다. 그리고 덕은 하늘을 이기지 못합니다.

악은 선을 못 이기고, 선은 복을 못 이기며, 복은 덕을 못 이깁니다. 덕이 되어야 비로소 하늘에 상달됩니다. 복은 대부분 지혜가 되지만, 잘못 누리면 죄로 변할 확률이 높습니다. 복을 받기만 하면 죄가 될 수 있습니다. 복과 죄는 삼촌 관계입니다. 덕은 자신에게 온 복을 이웃과 나누는 행위, 즉 공덕(功德)입니다. 공덕보다 한 단계 높은 것이 음덕(陰德)입니다. 우리는 최소한 공덕은 지어야 합니다.

초심과 발심: 진리를 향한 결심
초심(初心)은 복을 추구하는 욕심에 가깝습니다. 사람들은 처음에는 잘 먹고 잘 살기 위해 복을 받으려 합니다. 그러나 빌 게이츠처럼 재벌이 되면 발심(發心)을 하게 됩니다. 발심은 선행을 통해 덕을 짓는 것입니다. 초심은 탐욕이지만, 발심은 진리를 깨닫겠다는 결심입니다. 불교와 기독교 모두 초심을 중요시하지만, 발심 또한 매우 중요합니다. 발심은 다른 말로 결심입니다. 좋은 일을 하겠다는 결심입니다.

인간의 정(情)은 이치(理)를 못 이기고, 이치는 법(法)을 못 이기며, 법은 권력(權力)을 못 이기고, 권력은 하늘을 못 이깁니다. 이승만 대통령의 부정선거처럼 권력이 법을 지배하는 듯 보여도 결국 하늘은 이승만을 내쫓았습니다. 하늘은 속일 수 없습니다.

용기 있는 자는 지혜로운 자를 이길 수 없고, 지혜로운 자는 덕 있는 자를 이길 수 없습니다. 아무리 지혜가 뛰어나도 덕이 있는 사람을 이길 수 없습니다. 제갈공명 같은 지혜로운 자도 유비 같은 덕장을 이길 수 없었습니다. 제갈공명은 지혜자였지만 덕 있는 자는 아니었습니다. 덕의 위치는 항상 높습니다.

덕보다 더 중요한 것은 전생의 업보, 즉 운(運)입니다. 아무리 덕이 있어도 전생에 덕을 쌓지 않았다면 운을 이길 수 없습니다. 운이 있는 자는 따로 있습니다. 운이 다하면 하늘도 돕지 않습니다.

진리의 순서: 거짓, 사실, 진실, 사랑
아무리 물질을 구해도 진리에 대해 묻는 것만 못하고, 묻는 것보다 듣는 것만 못합니다. 듣는 것보다 행하는 것만 못하고, 행하는 것보다 깨닫는 것만 못합니다. 깨달음 위에 지혜가 있고, 지혜 위에 덕이 있습니다.

거짓은 사실을 이기지 못하고, 사실은 진실을 이기지 못합니다. 그리고 진실은 사랑을 이기지 못합니다. 사랑이 곧 덕입니다. 이것이 자연의 순서입니다.

1930년대 미국에서 리지라는 여자가 살인 누명을 썼습니다. 판사와 배심원 모두 그녀가 거짓말을 한다고 믿었지만, 사실 그녀는 살인을 저지르지 않았습니다. 현장에 지문이 찍혀 있었지만, 그녀는 단지 죽어가는 사람을 도우려 했을 뿐입니다. 사형 선고를 앞둔 순간, 한 유명 인사가 법정에 나타나 리지가 자신과 함께 있었다고 증언했습니다. 이는 거짓말이었지만, 그 유명 인사의 권위로 인해 리지는 풀려났습니다. 이 경우, 사람을 살리기 위한 거짓말은 사실보다 위에 있는 진실이 됩니다. 진실은 사실을 지배하며, 그 진실에는 사랑이 담겨 있습니다.

복을 내세우지 말고 숨기면서 덕을 베풀어야 합니다. 덕을 베풀면 다음 생에 복이 돌아와 다시 선행을 반복하게 됩니다. 그러나 복을 누리기만 하면 죄로 변할 수 있습니다. 우리는 복이 죄로 변하는 길과 덕으로 변하는 길 사이에서 올바른 판단을 해야 합니다.

신의 섭리와 졸탁동시
이 세상은 순전히 여자 위에 세워지는 세계입니다. 서울대 교수가 여자에게 농담 한마디 잘못했다가 모든 것을 잃을 수 있듯이, 여자는 세상을 무너뜨릴 수 있는 힘을 가지고 있습니다. 지나치게 여자에게 모래성을 쌓거나 파도를 일렁이게 하면 위험합니다. 여성들이 그만큼 큰 파워를 가지고 있다는 의미입니다.

우리가 눈을 감고 소나무 씨앗을 상상해 봅시다. 손톱보다 작은 씨앗 속에 50미터까지 자랄 나무의 dna가 모두 담겨 있습니다. 뿌리는 땅으로, 줄기는 위로 자라도록 입력되어 있습니다. 이처럼 씨앗 하나에도 우주의 질서가 들어 있으며, 이는 신이 존재한다는 증거입니다. 어떤 과학자도 씨앗 하나, 쌀 한 톨을 만들 수 없습니다. 우리 몸의 dna 또한 마찬가지입니다.

나무는 인간이 내뿜는 탄산가스를 마시고 산소를 내뿜으며, 인간은 그 산소를 마십니다. 이처럼 자연은 서로 교대하며 살아가는 완벽한 시스템을 갖추고 있습니다. 이는 신이 만들어 놓은 것이지, 장난으로 만든 것이 아닙니다.

우리가 극장에 들어가려면 돈을 내야 하지만, 자연의 아름다움을 보는 데는 돈을 내지 않습니다. 빌딩을 세운 회장 덕분에 우리는 공짜로 빌딩을 볼 수 있습니다. 이처럼 하늘이 만들어 놓은 아름다운 자연을 우리는 무료로 감상할 수 있습니다. 이는 우리가 얼마나 행복한 사람들인지 보여줍니다. 나무는 가지가 위로, 뿌리는 아래로 자라며, 동물들의 모든 모습은 신의 디자인에 의해 만들어졌습니다.

불교에서는 ‘발 안욕따라 삼약삼보리 살심(發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心)’을 줄여 ‘발심’이라 합니다. 이는 세상을 초월하여 모든 진리를 깨닫는다는 의미입니다. 이 발심을 한 사람을 ‘보살(菩薩)’이라 부릅니다. 보살은 초심이 아닌 발심을 한 사람입니다. 기독교에서는 집사, 전도사, 권사 등으로 불립니다. 삼약삼보리는 우주의 진리를 의미하며, 진리를 따르겠다고 결심하는 것이 발심입니다.

발심은 종자(種子)와 같습니다. 좋은 종자에는 거목이 될 가능성이 이미 정해져 있습니다. 앞으로 다가올 미래에는 종자 전쟁이 일어날 것입니다. 이미 많은 나라가 종자를 독점하고 있으며, 우리는 종자를 수입해야 하는 상황입니다. 서양은 유전자 조작을 통해 농약에도 강한 종자를 만들어냈고, 우리는 그 종자를 쓸 수밖에 없습니다. 식량 전쟁이 붙을 때 종자 전쟁이 가장 먼저 올 것입니다. 종자가 무기가 되는 시대가 오고 있습니다.

세상을 녹색으로 바꾸고 싶어 하는 임금에게 신하가 녹색 안경을 주어 세상을 녹색으로 보게 한 것처럼, 발심은 우리가 써야 할 진리의 안경입니다. 우리는 이 안경을 쓸 줄 모르고, 내 고집대로 살아가려 합니다. 안경을 바꿔야 합니다.

졸탁동시(啐啄同時)는 병아리가 알 안에서 껍질을 쪼고, 어미 닭이 밖에서 껍질을 쪼아주어 병아리가 나오는 것을 의미합니다. 인간은 탐진치(貪瞋癡)에 갇혀 있습니다. 욕심, 성냄, 어리석음이 합쳐져 우주와 하나가 될 수 없습니다. ‘내 것’이라는 생각에 갇혀 있기 때문입니다. 이 탐진치라는 껍질을 깨야 합니다.

제가 하는 강의는 여러분에게 졸탁동시의 동기를 부여하는 것입니다. 인터넷과 유튜브를 통해 이 메시지가 전 세계로 퍼져나가고 있습니다. 이 카메라가 바로 졸탁동시의 도구입니다. 전 국민이 이 껍질을 깨고 우주와 하나가 되는 공동체를 이루는 것이 덕입니다. 알 안에서 가만히 있는 것은 복을 추구하는 것이며, 복을 누리기만 하면 죄로 변합니다. 덕은 자신에게 온 복을 남에게 돌려주는 것입니다.

종교의 허상과 세계 통일의 비전
임산부가 담배를 피우는 것을 ‘애 태우는 마음’이라고 합니다. 뱃속의 아이를 태우는 것과 같다는 의미입니다.

기독교, 불교 등 모든 종교는 천국과 극락을 이야기합니다. 그러나 종교인들은 하늘에서 가장 싫어하는 존재입니다. 교회에서 목사가 가장 무서워하는 사람은 헌금 잘 내고 십일조 잘 내는 사람입니다. 그들은 목사를 꼬아보고, 하나님을 꼬아봅니다. 열심한 신앙인들이 예수를 죽였습니다. 율법가들이 예수를 죽인 것입니다.

종교는 세상을 전쟁터로 만듭니다. 앞으로 이슬람이 원자 무기를 가지게 되면 뉴욕으로 날아가 세계 대전이 일어날 것입니다. 우리는 망연하게 죽을 수밖에 없습니다. 저는 이것을 막기 위해 왔습니다. IS가 사람을 불에 태워 죽이는 화형식을 하는 것은 과거 천주교가 종교가 다르다는 이유로 50만 명을 화형시킨 것과 유사합니다. 이러한 종교들은 결국 종교 전쟁을 일으킬 것입니다.

미국은 북한 핵 문제에 대해 강경 노선을 주장하지만, 이란, 파키스탄, 인도, 이스라엘의 핵은 묵인하고 있습니다. 결국 이 핵들이 이슬람권으로 이동하여 전 세계가 종교 핵전쟁에 휘말릴 것입니다. 남산에 핵폭탄 하나가 떨어지면 서울 인구 3천만 명이 사라지고, 팔당댐에 방사능 가루 한 봉지가 들어가면 한강물은 수백 년간 못 마시게 됩니다.

저는 종교를 권장하지 않습니다. 여러분 자체가 예수가 되고 부처가 되어야 합니다. ‘발 안욕따라 삼약삼보리 보살’의 마음이 고해를 건너는 데 필요합니다. 저는 종교를 떠난 사람이므로, 허경영을 부르면 이 고해를 지나갈 수 있습니다. 저는 헌금을 받거나 종교를 만드는 사람이 아닙니다. 여러분을 돕기 위해 실제 온 자입니다. 계란 속에서 나오지 않는 인간들이 99.9%입니다. 저는 인터넷과 텔레비전을 통해 전 세계를 바꿀 것입니다.

이명박 대통령의 회고록에 김윤옥 여사가 허경영을 지지하겠다는 발언이 실려 있습니다. 이는 대통령 영부인도 허경영의 공약을 알고 있다는 증거입니다. 청와대에 있을 때 허경영의 인기와 여론을 알고 있었기 때문에 이 내용이 실린 것입니다. 젊은 사람들의 지지를 많이 받고 있다는 것을 보여주기 위함입니다.

저는 부시 대통령에게 북한의 플루토늄 문제를 ‘되돌릴 수 없게(irreversibly)’, ‘검증 가능하게(verifiably)’, ‘폐기(dismantle)’해야 한다. 미국은 ‘완벽하게(completely)’, ‘영구적으로(permanently)’, ‘제거(eliminate)’를 주장하지만, 이는 북한이 받아들이기 어렵습니다. 북한이 받아들일 수 있는 방식으로 핵을 폐기해야 합니다.

그러나 미국은 이란, 파키스탄, 인도, 이스라엘의 핵을 묵인하고 있습니다. 결국 이 핵들이 이슬람권으로 이동하여 전 세계가 종교 핵전쟁에 직면할 것입니다. 저는 이것을 막기 위해 왔습니다.

통일의 허상과 민생의 중요성
베트남은 6자 회담을 통해 평화적 통일을 주장했지만, 미군과 한국군이 철수한 지 한 달 만에 공산화되었습니다. 우리나라는 북한과 통일하면 망할 것입니다. 북한과의 통일은 늦을수록 좋습니다. 저는 세계 통일을 2030년, 아시아 통일을 2025년, 북한과의 통일을 2029년으로 보고 있습니다.

공산주의와 통일하는 것은 상상도 하지 말아야 합니다. 독일 통일 당시 서독과 동독의 GDP는 3대 1이었지만, 우리나라는 남한과 북한이 30대 1, 심지어 40대 1입니다. 지금 통일하면 남북 모두 망할 것입니다. 해운 산업과 조선 산업이 몰락하고 300만 명의 실업자가 발생할 것입니다. 러시아나 유럽으로 가는 철도를 연결하면 국가 경제가 몰락합니다.

독일 통일 후에도 서독 사람들은 동독 사람들 때문에 세금을 더 낸다고 불평합니다. 우리는 40대 1의 경제 격차를 가지고 있는데, 민생은 생각하지 않고 통일이나 개헌을 주장하며 나라를 초토화시키려 합니다.

통일의 3대 요소는 통합, 융합, 화합입니다. 통합은 연합, 결합, 집합을 의미하며 영토를 합치는 것입니다. 융합은 혼합, 용해, 발효를 의미합니다. 화합은 양보, 소통, 박애를 의미합니다. 그러나 지금 우리 국민들은 부자지간, 이웃지간, 형제지간에도 양보, 소통, 박애가 되지 않습니다. 이런 국민을 데리고 어떻게 통일을 할 수 있겠습니까? 먼저 국민 교육부터 시켜야 합니다.

대통령은 세월호 참사 같은 위기 상황에서 30분 내에 현장에 도착하여 진두지휘해야 합니다. 그러나 소통이 안 되고 박애 정신이 없는 공직자들이 많습니다.

제일 먼저 통일부를 없애야 합니다. 독일 등 전 세계 분단국가에는 통일부가 없습니다. 여성부도 없애야 합니다. 여자가 무슨 장애인입니까? 여자나 남자나 똑같습니다. 복지부 안에 여성국이나 장애국을 두면 됩니다. 세금을 아껴야 합니다.

남북 통일은 서로 좋게 대화하고 이상 가족을 만나는 등 자연스럽게 진행되어야 합니다. 부자가 가난한 사람과 같이 살려고 하지 않듯이, 우리는 북한에 통일을 계속 주장해야 합니다. 북한이 우리에게 통일을 사정할 때, 그때 가서 조건을 확실하게 내걸고 아시아 통일, 세계 통일과 함께 북한과의 통일을 추진해야 합니다. 단둘이 통일하는 것은 믿을 수 없습니다.

통일은 우리가 양보, 소통, 박애 정신을 확신하고, 북한이 수십 년 동안 통일을 사정할 때 고려해야 합니다. 우리 정부가 통일부를 가지고 있는 것은 부끄러운 일입니다.

민생부터 해결해야 합니다. 아이들 교육 문제도 마찬가지입니다. 한 과목만 시험 보고 수능 시험을 없애야 합니다. 중학교, 고등학교 6년 동안 자신이 좋아하는 한 과목만 열심히 공부하여 그 총합계로 대학을 가는 시스템을 만들어야 합니다. 그러면 사교육도 사라지고, 아이들이 부모에게 반항하지 않을 것입니다. 지금 우리나라는 제가 생각하는 것과 반대로 가고 있으며, 망하는 길로 가고 있습니다.

종교는 모든 사람들에게 복을 팔아먹습니다. 덕을 파는 사람은 없습니다. 사람들은 복을 빌고 앉아 있습니다. 토요일, 일요일에 가족들과 오순도순 대화해야 할 시간에 종교는 자식과 부모를 분리시킵니다. 유럽에서 종교가 사라진 이유가 여기에 있습니다. 현명한 사람들은 종교에서 벗어나고 있습니다.

저는 북한이 언제 무슨 일을 벌일지 다 알고 있습니다. 저는 이것을 막기 위해 왔습니다. 복을 추구해서는 절대 안 됩니다. 복과 덕의 차이를 확실히 알아야 합니다.

자연 부화가 아닌 인공 부화 시대에는 졸탁동시의 의미가 퇴색될 수 있습니다. 그러나 유정란은 어미 닭과 병아리가 시기를 맞춰야 합니다. 무정란은 기계로 부화시키지만, 유정란은 쪼아줘야 합니다.

사바세계: 욕망 위에 쌓은 모래성

이 세계는 불교에서 사바세계라고 불립니다. 사바세계는 ‘여자 위에 모래성을 쌓는 세상’이라는 의미를 담고 있습니다. 사람들이 여자에게 잘 보이기 위해 돈을 벌고 명예를 얻으려 하는 등, 모든 욕망의 중심에 여자가 있다는 것입니다. 한자 ‘여(女)’가 들어간 글자들이 부정적인 의미를 가지는 경우가 많다는 점을 예로 들며, 여자가 개입되면 세상이 나쁜 방향으로 흘러간다. 이는 곧 인간의 탐욕과 욕망이 지배하는 세상을 비유하는 것입니다.

여러분은 공부할 생각은 하지 않고 돈만 좇으며, 나이가 들어서야 비로소 욕망을 포기하는 경우가 많습니다. 평생 부부 문제로 다투며 살아가는 것이 사바세계의 모습입니다. 불교에서는 이러한 사바세계를 ‘차안(此岸)’, 즉 지옥 같은 세상이라고 부릅니다. 반대로 차안의 반대는 ‘피안(彼岸)’이며, 사바세계의 반대는 ‘극락세계(極樂世界)’입니다. 우리는 극락세계로 가기 위해 노력해야 합니다.

극락과 지옥, 그리고 운명의 갈림길
제가 월남에 있을 때 겪었던 경험을 통해 극락과 지옥이 한순간에 갈릴 수 있음을 이야기하고자 합니다. 월남에 도착한 날, 제 옆방 이발소에 B52 폭탄이 떨어져 8명이 몰살당했습니다. 저는 내무반에 있었기에 살아남을 수 있었습니다. 폭탄의 방향이 조금만 달랐어도 제 운명은 달라졌을 것입니다. 이처럼 삶과 죽음, 낙원과 지옥은 한순간의 차이로 결정될 수 있습니다.

지옥의 반대는 낙원이며, 사바세계의 반대는 극락세계입니다. 우리가 사는 탁한 세상, 즉 오탁악세의 반대는 천국입니다. 우리는 초심과 발심을 통해 이러한 탁한 세상을 벗어나야 합니다.

복과 덕: 상위 개념으로서의 덕
복은 삼세(전생, 현생, 내생) 동안 행한 선행에 대한 인과응보로 받는 것입니다. 반면 덕은 자신이 받은 복을 남에게 베푸는 행위입니다. 복을 받아 자신만 누리면 결국 죄로 변할 확률이 높습니다. 당뇨병, 심장병, 고혈압 등 잘 먹고 잘 살다가 오히려 죄를 짓게 되는 경우가 많기 때문입니다. 복과 죄는 삼촌 관계에 있습니다.

그러나 덕은 자신에게 온 복을 이웃과 나누는 행위, 즉 공덕(功德)을 쌓는 것입니다. 공덕은 후손에게까지 좋은 영향을 미 미칩니다. 덕은 복보다 상위 개념이며, 덕을 쌓는 자는 복을 구하지 않습니다. 악은 선을 이기지 못하고, 선은 복을 이기지 못하며, 복은 덕을 이기지 못합니다. 그리고 덕은 하늘을 이기지 못합니다. 즉, 악 < 선 < 복 < 덕 < 하늘의 순서로 계급이 존재합니다. 덕이 있어야 비로소 하늘에 상달될 수 있습니다.

초심과 발심: 탐욕을 넘어 진리로
초심은 복을 추구하는 욕심과 탐욕에 가깝습니다. 처음에는 잘 먹고 잘 살기 위해 복을 받으려 하지만, 빌 게이츠처럼 큰 부자가 되면 발심을 하게 됩니다. 발심은 진리를 깨닫고 덕을 짓는 결심을 의미합니다. 초심은 탐욕에 물들어 있지만, 발심은 진리를 향한 의지입니다. 불교와 기독교 모두 초심을 중요시하지만, 발심 또한 매우 중요합니다.

인간의 정은 이치를, 이치는 법을, 법은 권력을, 권력은 하늘을 이기지 못합니다. 아무리 용기 있는 자라도 지혜로운 자를 이길 수 없고, 지혜로운 자라도 덕 있는 자를 이길 수 없습니다. 제갈공명은 지혜로운 자였지만, 덕이 있는 유비(유현덕)를 이길 수 없었습니다. 덕의 위치가 항상 높다는 것을 보여주는 예시입니다.

그러나 덕보다 더 중요한 것은 전생의 업보, 즉 운입니다. 아무리 덕이 뛰어나도 운이 있는 자를 이길 수 없습니다. 운은 하늘이 정하는 것이며, 운이 다하면 모든 것이 변합니다.

진리의 안경: 졸탁동시와 종자 전쟁
세상 모든 이치는 자연의 섭리에 따라 움직입니다. 물고기의 유선형 몸매, 암수 물고기의 색깔 변화, 인간의 얼굴 변화 등은 모두 자연의 디자인입니다. 아무리 구해도 묻는 것만 못하고, 묻는 것보다 듣는 것만 못하며, 듣는 것보다 행하는 것만 못하고, 행하는 것보다 깨닫는 것만 못합니다. 지혜는 덕 아래에 있으며, 진실은 사실을 지배하고, 사랑은 진실을 지배합니다. 사랑이 곧 덕입니다.

미국의 리치라는 여인의 살인 누명 사건은 거짓이 사실을, 사실이 진실을, 진실이 사랑을 이기지 못한다는 것을 보여줍니다. 유명 인사의 거짓 증언으로 리치는 살았지만, 이는 사랑이라는 더 큰 진실을 위한 것이었습니다.

우리가 써야 할 안경은 ‘발 안욕따라 삼약삼보리 살타심’입니다. 이는 진리에 접근하겠다는 발심의 안경입니다. 이 안경을 쓰면 세상이 진리로 보일 것입니다.

졸탁동시(啐啄同時)는 병아리가 알 안에서 껍질을 쪼고, 어미 닭이 밖에서 껍질을 쪼아주어 함께 알을 깨는 것을 의미합니다. 이는 때가 되었을 때 안팎의 노력이 동시에 이루어져야 한다는 비유입니다. 인간은 탐진치(탐욕, 성냄, 어리석음)에 갇혀 우주와 하나가 되지 못하고 있습니다. 이 탐진치의 껍질을 깨고 나와야 합니다. 허경영은 이 껍질을 깨는 동기를 부여하는 존재입니다.

미래에는 종자 전쟁이 다가올 것입니다. 씨앗 하나에도 우주의 질서와 신의 존재가 담겨 있습니다. 과학자들은 씨앗 하나를 만들지 못하지만, 신은 모든 생명체를 디자인했습니다. 종자 전쟁은 식량 전쟁으로 이어질 것이며, 이는 국가의 운명을 좌우할 것입니다.

종교의 허상과 세계 통일의 필요성
지구는 12만 9600년 주기로 빙하기를 겪으며 생체 교육장 역할을 합니다. 인간은 이 기간 동안 교육을 받으며 영혼을 정화하고, 쓸모 있는 영혼은 다음 세상으로 나아가고, 그렇지 못한 영혼은 다시 지구로 순환합니다. 사바세계는 낙원이 아니며, 고해의 바다를 건너야 합니다. 이 고해를 건너는 배가 바로 ‘허경영’입니다.

종교는 복을 팔아먹으며 세상을 전쟁터로 만듭니다. 기독교, 불교, 이슬람교 등 모든 종교는 하늘이 싫어하는 존재입니다. 열렬한 신앙심을 가진 자들이 오히려 예수를 죽였습니다. 종교는 가족을 분리시키고, 사람들을 탐진치에 가두어 놓습니다. 앞으로 이슬람이 핵무기를 가지게 되면 종교 핵전쟁이 일어날 것이며, 이는 전 세계를 파멸로 이끌 것입니다. 허경영은 이러한 핵전쟁을 막기 위해 이 세상에 왔습니다.

여러분 자체가 예수가 되고 부처가 되어야 합니다. 종교에 갇히지 말고, 허경영을 통해 진리를 깨달아야 합니다.

대한민국 통일의 현실과 미래 교육
이명박 대통령의 회고록에 김윤옥 여사가 허경영의 공약을 지지하겠다는 내용이 실린 것은, 허경영의 공약이 젊은 세대에게 큰 영향력을 미치고 있음을 보여줍니다. 이는 허경영의 인기가 청와대에서도 인지하고 있었다는 증거입니다.

미국은 북한의 핵 문제에 대해 강경한 입장을 취하면서도, 이란, 파키스탄, 인도, 이스라엘의 핵은 묵인하고 있습니다. 이는 결국 이슬람권으로 핵 기술이 이동하여 종교 핵전쟁으로 이어질 위험이 있습니다. 핵폭탄 하나가 서울에 떨어지면 3천만 명이 사라지고, 팔당댐에 방사능 가루가 들어가면 한강 물을 수백 년간 마실 수 없게 됩니다. 허경영은 이러한 위험을 막기 위해 세계 통일.

월남의 공산화 사례는 북한과의 성급한 통일이 얼마나 위험한지 보여줍니다. 프랑스와 키신저가 보증한 육자회담 이후에도 월남은 한 달 만에 공산화되었습니다. 남한과 북한의 GDP 차이가 40대 1인 상황에서 통일은 대한민국을 몰락시킬 것입니다. 해운 산업과 조선 산업이 붕괴되고, 실업자가 300만 명 발생할 것입니다.

통일은 양보, 소통, 박애의 정신이 확립될 때 가능합니다. 지금 우리 국민들은 가정 내에서도 양보와 소통, 박애가 이루어지지 않고 있습니다. 통일부는 없애야 하며, 여성부 또한 불필요합니다. 남북 통일은 북한이 수십 년간 통일을 간청할 때 비로소 고려해야 할 문제입니다.

교육 문제 또한 심각합니다. 수능 시험을 없애고, 학생들이 한 과목만 선택하여 6년간 공부하고 시험을 보게 해야 합니다. 그래야 사교육이 사라지고, 학생들이 부모와 소통하며 박애 정신을 기를 수 있습니다. 지금 대한민국은 허경영의 생각과 반대 방향으로 가고 있으며, 이는 망하는 길입니다. 종교에 갇히지 말고, 진리를 깨달아 민생을 해결해야 합니다.

허경영 강연 기록물: 초심과 발심, 복과 덕의 진리

본 기록물은 2015년 2월 7일 허경영 선생이 진행한 강연 “962 초심과 발심의 진리: 복과 덕의 진리”의 내용을 담고 있습니다. 강연은 사바세계의 본질과 인간의 탐욕, 그리고 이를 초월하여 진리에 이르는 길로서 발심의 중요성을 역설합니다. 특히 복과 덕의 차이를 명확히 설명하고, 덕을 쌓는 삶이 개인과 사회, 나아가 인류 전체에 미치는 긍정적 영향을 강조하며, 궁극적으로 인류가 나아가야 할 방향을 제시합니다.

1. 사바세계의 본질과 인간의 탐욕
   사바세계의 의미: 불교에서 이 세계를 ‘사바세계’라 칭하는 것은, 여인 위에 모래성을 쌓는 것과 같다는 비유에서 비롯됩니다.

‘사(沙)’는 모래를, ‘바(婆)’는 파도를 의미하며, 이는 여인에게 잘 보이기 위해 돈과 명예를 추구하는 인간의 모습을 상징합니다.

여인과 관련된 한자(예: 간음, 투기, 질투)에 ‘계집 녀(女)’ 변이 들어가는 것은, 여인이 개입되면 모든 것이 나쁜 세상이 된다는 옛 한문 제작자들의 인식을 반영합니다.

결국 사바세계는 여인 위에 모래성을 쌓느라 바쁜 인간들의 탐욕스러운 세상을 의미합니다.

인간의 삶과 부부 문제: 사람들은 돈을 좇고, 나이가 들어서도 부부 문제로 평생을 다투며 살아갑니다.

이러한 삶의 모습이 바로 ‘사바세계’이며, 불교에서는 이를 ‘차안(此岸)’이라 부르며 지옥과 같은 세상으로 묘사합니다.

차안의 반대는 ‘피안(彼岸)’이며, 사바세계의 반대는 ‘극락세계(極樂世界)’입니다.

허경영 선생은 우리가 극락세계, 즉 피안으로 나아가기 위해 노력해야 한다.

2. 복과 덕의 진리
   복(福)의 정의: 복은 삼세(전생, 현생, 미래생) 동안 행한 선행에 대한 인과응보로 받는 것입니다.

이는 개인이 지은 모든 선행에 대한 보답을 스스로 받는 것을 의미합니다.

그러나 복을 받아 누리기만 하고 남에게 베풀지 않으면, 그 복은 낭비되거나 죄로 변할 수 있습니다.

허경영 선생은 복을 누리기만 하는 삶은 당뇨병, 심장병, 고혈압 등 질병으로 이어지거나, 술과 유흥에 빠져 죄를 짓는 결과를 초래할 수 있다.

덕(德)의 정의: 덕은 자신에게 온 복을 남에게 베푸는 행위입니다.

빌 게이츠처럼 자신의 복을 남을 위해 사용하는 것이 덕을 쌓는 행위의 예시입니다.

덕을 쌓는 자는 복을 구하지 않으며, 복과 덕 중 덕이 상위 개념입니다.

덕을 남에게 베푸는 것을 ‘공덕(功德)’이라 하며, 이는 후손에게도 긍정적인 영향을 미칩니다.

공덕보다 높은 개념은 ‘은덕(恩德)’이며, 그 위에 ‘언덕(言德)’이 있습니다.

허경영 선생은 우리가 언덕까지는 못하더라도 공덕은 반드시 지어야 한다.

3. 초심과 발심의 중요성
   초심(初心)의 본질: 초심은 복을 추구하는 욕심과 탐욕에 가깝습니다.

사람들은 처음에는 잘 먹고 잘 살기 위해 복을 받으려 하고, 부모에게 상속을 받으려 합니다.

불교와 기독교 모두 초심을 중요시하지만, 허경영 선생은 발심 또한 매우 중요하다고 말합니다.

발심(發心)의 의미: 발심은 진리를 깨닫고자 하는 결심이자 선행을 하겠다는 의지입니다.

재벌이 된 빌 게이츠처럼 큰 부자가 된 후에 비로소 발심하여 덕을 짓는 단계로 나아갑니다.

발심은 ‘발아뇩다라삼먁삼보리살타심(發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提薩埵心)’의 줄임말로, 이 세상을 초월하여 모든 진리를 깨닫는 것을 의미합니다.

이것을 두 글자로 줄이면 ‘발심’이 되고, ‘보살(菩薩)’이라는 단어로도 표현됩니다.

발심은 진리에 목숨을 거는 행위이며, 기독교에서는 집사, 전도사, 권사와 같은 역할로 비유될 수 있습니다.

발심은 마음의 씨앗이 들어가 앞으로의 삶을 결정하는 중요한 전환점입니다.

4. 진리의 계급과 순서
   세상의 계급: 세상에는 악, 선, 복, 덕, 하늘의 순서로 계급이 존재합니다.

악은 선을 이기지 못하고, 선은 복을 이기지 못하며, 복은 덕을 이기지 못합니다.

덕은 하늘을 이기지 못하며, 덕이 쌓여야 하늘에 상달됩니다.

인간 관계의 계급: 인간의 정은 이치를 이기지 못하고, 이치는 법을 이기지 못하며, 법은 권력을 이기지 못하고, 권력은 하늘을 이기지 못합니다.

용기는 지혜를 이기지 못하고, 지혜는 덕을 이기지 못합니다.

제갈공명과 같은 지혜로운 자도 유현덕과 같은 덕 있는 자를 이길 수 없습니다.

진리의 계급: 거짓은 사실을 이기지 못하고, 사실은 진실을 이기지 못하며, 진실은 사랑을 이기지 못합니다.

사랑은 곧 덕이며, 이는 만물의 순서이자 자연의 법칙입니다.

허경영 선생은 미국에서 살인 누명을 쓴 리치라는 여인을 유명 인사가 거짓 증언으로 살려낸 일화를 예시로 들며, 때로는 사실보다 진실(사랑)이 더 중요할 수 있음.

이러한 진실에는 희생과 사랑이 담겨 있으며, 이는 사실을 지배하는 힘을 가집니다.

5. 졸탁동시(啐啄同時)와 탐진치(貪瞋癡)
   졸탁동시의 의미: 졸탁동시는 병아리가 알 속에서 껍질을 쪼고(啐), 어미 닭이 밖에서 껍질을 쪼아(啄) 동시에 알을 깨는 것을 의미합니다.

이는 안과 밖의 노력이 동시에 이루어져야 정상적인 병아리가 탄생하는 것처럼, 인간도 스스로 깨어나려는 노력과 외부의 도움이 조화를 이루어야 함을 비유합니다.

허경영 선생은 자신이 밖에서 알을 깨주는 역할을 하며, 그의 강연이 동기를 부여하는 ‘졸탁동기’.

탐진치에 갇힌 인간: 인간은 탐욕(貪), 성냄(瞋), 어리석음(癡)이라는 ‘탐진치’에 갇혀 사바세계에 머물러 있습니다.

이러한 탐진치는 ‘내 것’이라는 이기심에서 비롯되며, 이로 인해 우주와 인류가 하나가 될 수 없습니다.

탐진치를 깨부수고 나와야 우주와 하나가 될 수 있으며, 이는 덕을 쌓는 행위와 연결됩니다.

알 속에서 나오지 않고 편안하게 머무는 것은 복을 추구하는 행위이며, 이는 결국 죄로 변할 수 있습니다.

6. 종자 전쟁과 지구의 순환
   미래의 종자 전쟁: 미래에는 종자 전쟁이 인류에게 다가올 것입니다.

미국 등 일부 국가들이 종자를 독점하고 있으며, 한국은 종자를 빼앗겨 외국에서 수입해야 하는 상황입니다.

유전자 조작(GMO)을 통해 농약에도 강한 종자를 만들어내는 등, 종자는 미래 식량 전쟁의 핵심 무기가 될 것입니다.

허경영 선생은 종자 공급을 중단하는 것만으로도 북한이 농사를 짓지 못하게 될 것이라고 언급하며, 종자의 중요성.

지구의 순환과 생체 교육장: 지구는 13만 년마다 빙하기가 반복되는 순환 주기를 가집니다.

이 주기는 태양이 지구를 360도로 한 바퀴 도는 것과 관련이 있습니다.

빙하기를 통해 지구는 완전히 소독되고 냉동 건조된 후, 다시 생명이 탄생하는 과정을 거칩니다.

모든 생명체는 철저한 디자인에 의해 만들어졌으며, 지구는 영혼이 교육받는 ‘생체 교육장’입니다.

허경영 선생은 쓸만한 영혼은 다음 세상으로 나아가고, 유급하는 영혼은 지구를 순환하며 계속 교육을 받아야 한다.

7. 통일과 국가 정책에 대한 비판
   남북 통일의 위험성: 허경영 선생은 북한과의 통일은 한국을 망하게 할 것.

남한과 북한의 GNP 차이가 40대 1에 달하는 상황에서 통일은 양측 모두를 몰락시킬 것입니다.

통일 시 한국의 해운 및 조선 산업이 붕괴하고, 대규모 실업자가 발생할 수 있습니다.

또한, 통일은 북한 여성들이 남한 졸부들의 ‘세컨드’가 되는 등 사회적 문제를 야기할 수 있습니다.

허경영 선생은 통일은 늦을수록 좋으며, 2029년에 북한 통일, 2030년에 세계 통일을 목표로 해야 한다.

통일부 및 여성부 폐지 주장: 허경영 선생은 통일부와 여성부의 폐지.

통일부는 다른 나라에 오해를 불러일으키고, 흡수 통일을 꾀하는 것으로 비칠 수 있습니다.

여성부는 여성을 장애인처럼 취급하는 것이며, 남녀는 동등하므로 보건복지부 내 여성국으로 충분하다고 말합니다.

이러한 부처들은 세금을 낭비하고 불필요한 오해를 낳으므로 없애야 한다.

교육 정책 개혁: 허경영 선생은 현재의 교육 정책이 부모와 자식 간의 소통을 단절시키고 있다고 비판하며, 수능 시험 폐지.

학생들이 한 과목만 시험 보고, 자신이 좋아하는 과목을 6년간 집중적으로 공부하여 대학을 결정하는 시스템을 제안합니다.

이는 과외비를 절감하고, 학생들이 부모와 소통하며 가정생활에 참여할 수 있도록 할 것입니다.

8. 종교에 대한 비판과 허경영 선생의 역할
   종교의 문제점: 허경영 선생은 종교가 인류에게 해악을 끼치고 전쟁을 일으킨다고 비판합니다.

교인들은 하나님을 꼬나보고, 율법가들이 예수를 죽인 것처럼, 종교적 열정이 오히려 분열과 갈등을 초래합니다.

종교는 가족 간의 대화를 단절시키고, 부모와 자식을 분리시켜 가정의 화목을 해칩니다.

유럽에서 종교가 사라지는 현상은 이러한 문제점 때문.

종교는 사람들에게 ‘복’을 팔지만, ‘덕’을 파는 사람은 없다고 지적합니다.

허경영 선생의 역할: 허경영 선생은 종교를 만들거나 조직을 만들지 않으며, 종교의 원리를 설명할 뿐 종교를 가질 것을 권장하지 않습니다.

그는 인류가 스스로 예수나 부처가 되어야 한다.

허경영 선생은 ‘발아뇩다라삼먁삼보리살타심’이라는 배를 타고 고해의 바다를 건너는 역할을 하며, 인터넷을 통해 인류를 깨우치고 있습니다.

그는 핵전쟁과 같은 인류의 위기를 막기 위해 이 세상에 왔다고 말합니다.

허경영 선생은 졸탁동기의 동기를 부여하는 메신저로서, 인터넷과 텔레비전을 통해 전 세계 인류를 변화시킬 것이라고 선언합니다.

9. 허경영 선생에 대한 인식과 지지
   초기 인식의 어려움: 허경영 선생의 메시지를 주변에 전하면 이상하게 보거나, 정신적으로 문제가 있다고 생각하는 사람들이 많습니다.

이는 과거 예수나 부처도 고향에서 배척받았던 것과 유사한 현상입니다.

사람들은 아직 허경영 선생을 병을 고치러 오는 존재로만 인식하는 경향이 있습니다.

미래의 변화와 지지 확산: 허경영 선생은 앞으로 자신의 책이 출간되고 공중파 방송에 출연하게 되면, 사람들의 인식이 크게 바뀔 것.

그의 독특한 마케팅 방식(노이즈 마케팅)은 오히려 사람들의 호기심을 자극하여 그의 메시지에 관심을 갖게 할 것입니다.

현재 전 세계적으로 약 2억 명의 지지자가 있으며, 이는 어떤 종교 신도 수와도 비교할 수 없는 규모.

(강연 당시 발언) 중앙일보 여론조사에서 ‘크리스마스에 만나고 싶은 사람’ 랭킹에 허경영 선생이 포함된 것은 그의 인기를 증명하는 사례로 제시됩니다.

10. 결론
    허경영 선생은 인류가 사바세계의 복을 추구하는 삶에서 벗어나, 덕을 추구하는 발심의 세계로 나아가야 한다고 역설합니다. 종교가 아닌 진리를 통해 탐진치를 깨고 우주와 하나가 되는 삶을 살아야 하며, 이는 허경영 선생이 제시하는 길을 따름으로써 가능하다. 그는 인류가 직면한 위험을 막고 새로운 시대로 이끌기 위해 이 세상에 왔으며, 그의 메시지를 통해 인류가 깨어나기를 촉구합니다.

– 제목: 초심과 발심의 진리: 복과 덕의 진리

• 화자: 허경영
• 일자: 2015년 2월 7일
• 핵심 경전: 없음

오늘의 한 문장

• 이 세상은 ‘복’을 좇는 사바세계지만, 우리는 ‘덕’을 쌓아 ‘발심’의 경지에 이르러야 한다.

핵심 내용

1. 사바세계: 욕망과 고통의 세상 🌍

• 사바세계의 본질: 불교에서 말하는 사바세계는 ‘여자 위에 모래성을 쌓는 것’과 같다
  • 남자들이 여자에게 잘 보이기 위해 돈과 명예를 좇는 모습
  • ‘여자 여(女)’ 변이 들어간 한자들이 대부분 부정적인 의미를 가지는 것처럼, 여자가 개입되면 세상이 나쁜 방향으로 흐른다는 비유
• 사바세계의 다른 이름:
  • 차안(此岸): 지옥과 같은 세상
  • 예토(穢土): 더러운 땅
  • 오탁악세(五濁惡世): 다섯 가지 탁함이 가득한 악한 세상
• 사바세계의 반대:
  • 극락세계(極樂世界): 사바세계의 반대 개념
  • 피안(彼岸): 차안의 반대, 언덕 너머의 이상향
  • 낙원(樂園): 지옥의 반대
  • 천국(天國): 탁세의 반대
• 인간의 갇힘: 인간은 탐욕, 성냄, 어리석음(탐진치)에 갇혀 ‘내 것’만을 추구하며 우주와 하나 되지 못한다

2. 복(福)과 덕(德)의 진리 ✨

• 복(福)의 의미:
  • 삼세(전생, 현생, 내생) 동안 지은 모든 선행에 대한 인과응보
  • 복을 누리기만 하면 죄로 변할 확률이 높음 (예: 당뇨병, 심장병, 고혈압 등)
  • 복과 죄는 삼촌 관계
• 덕(德)의 의미:
  • 삼세 동안 지은 선행의 인과응보를 남에게 베푸는 것
  • 빌 게이츠처럼 자신에게 온 복을 남을 위해 사용하는 것이 덕을 쌓는 행위
  • 덕을 짓는 자는 복을 구하지 않음
• 복과 덕의 계급: 덕이 복보다 상위 개념
  • 악 < 선 < 복 < 덕 < 하늘
  • 덕은 자신에게 온 복을 남에게 돌려주는 행위
• 덕의 종류:
  • 공덕(功德): 남에게 덕을 베푸는 것
  • 은덕(恩德): 공덕보다 한 단계 높은 덕
  • 최소한 공덕은 지어야 함

3. 초심(初心)과 발심(發心)의 차이

• 초심: 복을 추구하는 욕심과 탐욕에 가까움
  • 처음에는 잘 먹고 잘 살기 위해 복을 좇는 단계
• 발심: 진리를 깨닫고 덕을 짓는 결심
  • 빌 게이츠처럼 큰 부자가 된 후 남을 위해 선행을 베푸는 단계
  • 불교에서는 ‘발 안욕따라 삼약삼보리 살타심’의 줄임말로, 세상을 초월해 모든 진리를 깨닫는 마음을 의미
  • 기독교의 집사, 전도사, 권사와 같은 개념
  • 발심은 ‘종자’와 같아서, 마음속에 진리의 씨앗을 심는 것

4. 진리의 계급과 깨달음의 과정 🪜

• 진리의 순서:
  • 거짓 < 사실 < 진실 < 사랑(덕)
  • 용기 < 지혜 < 덕 < 운 < 하늘
• 깨달음의 단계:
  • 구하는 것 < 묻는 것 < 듣는 것 < 행하는 것 < 깨닫는 것
  • 지혜로운 자는 덕 있는 자를 이길 수 없음 (예: 제갈공명과 유비)
• 졸탁동시(啐啄同時): 안팎이 동시에 작용하여 깨달음을 얻는 것
  • 병아리가 알 안에서 껍질을 쪼고(啐), 어미 닭이 밖에서 쪼아(啄) 주어야 건강한 병아리가 나옴
  • 인간이 탐진치에 갇혀 있을 때, 외부의 동기 부여(허경영의 강의)를 통해 깨어나야 함
  • 안에서 가만히 있는 것은 ‘복’을 추구하는 것이고, 밖으로 나가는 것은 ‘덕’을 추구하는 것

5. 종교와 세상의 위험 🚨

• 종교의 문제점:
  • 종교는 복을 팔아먹고, 사람들을 탐진치에 갇히게 함
  • 종교인들은 하늘이 가장 싫어하는 존재이며, 열렬한 신앙심이 예수를 죽였듯이 남을 재단하고 전쟁을 일으킴
  • 가족 간의 대화를 단절시키고 분리시켜, 유럽에서 종교가 사라진 이유가 됨
• 다가오는 위협:
  • 종자 전쟁: 미래에는 씨앗을 독점한 강대국들로 인해 식량 전쟁이 발생할 것
  • 핵전쟁: 이슬람권의 핵무기 개발로 인해 세계 핵전쟁이 일어날 수 있음
  • 한반도 통일의 위험성:
  • 남북한의 경제력 격차(40대 1)로 인해 통일 시 국가 경제 몰락 및 대량 실업 발생
  • 북한 여성들이 남한 졸부들의 세컨드가 되는 등 사회적 문제 발생
  • 통일은 늦을수록 좋으며, 북한이 통일을 간절히 원할 때 신중하게 고려해야 함
  • 통일부와 여성부 등 불필요한 부처는 없애야 함

6. 허경영의 역할 🌟

• 메시아로서의 역할:
  • 졸탁동시의 ‘밖에서 쪼아주는’ 역할로, 탐진치에 갇힌 인류를 깨우기 위해 왔음
  • 종교를 만들지 않고, 종교의 원리를 설명하며 사람들이 스스로 부처나 예수가 되도록 권장
  • ‘허경영’이라는 배를 타고 고해의 바다를 건너 극락으로 갈 수 있다고 주장
• 지구의 생체 교육장: 지구는 12만 9600년 주기로 빙하기를 겪으며, 인간은 이 기간 동안 교육을 받고 다음 세상으로 나아감
  • 허경영은 이 순환 속에서 인류를 가르치기 위해 왔다고 설명
• 정치적 비전:
  • 민생 해결, 교육 문제 해결(한 과목 시험 제도 도입) 등 구체적인 정책 제시
  • 통일 문제에 대한 전문가로서, 현재의 통일 논의는 위험하다고 경고

주요 인용 구절 및 예화

• 사바세계: 여자 위에 모래성을 쌓는 것
• 복과 덕의 계급: 악 < 선 < 복 < 덕 < 하늘
• 거짓과 진실의 계급: 거짓 < 사실 < 진실 < 사랑(덕)
• 제갈공명과 유비: 지혜로운 제갈공명도 덕 있는 유비를 이길 수 없었음
• 리치 부인 살인 누명 사건: 유명 인사의 ‘거짓말’이 사실을 넘어 진실(사랑)이 되어 한 사람을 살린 예화
• 녹색 안경: 세상을 녹색으로 바꾸는 가장 쉬운 방법은 녹색 안경을 쓰는 것. 진리의 안경을 써야 세상을 바르게 볼 수 있음
• 졸탁동시(啐啄同時): 병아리가 알을 깨고 나오는 과정처럼, 안팎의 노력이 동시에 이루어져야 깨달음을 얻을 수 있음
• 이명박 대통령 회고록: 김윤옥 여사가 허경영의 공약을 지지하며 재산 기부를 망설인 일화

적용 및 실천

• 이번 주, 다음을 실천해봅시다:
  • 나에게 온 복을 이웃과 나누는 덕을 쌓는 행동 실천
  • 탐욕과 욕심을 내려놓고 발심하여 진리를 깨닫는 마음가짐 가지기
  • 허경영의 가르침을 통해 진리의 안경을 쓰고 세상을 바르게 바라보기

회고 질문

• Q1: 오늘 가르침을 통해 내 삶에서 내려놓아야 할 ‘복’에 대한 집착은 무엇인가?
• Q2: ‘덕’을 쌓기 위해 이번 주에 구체적으로 실천할 수 있는 한 가지 행동은 무엇인가?
• Q3: ‘졸탁동시’의 관점에서, 내가 깨어나기 위해 외부의 어떤 동기 부여(강의, 책 등)를 받아들이고, 내면에서 어떤 노력을 해야 할까?

기타 유용한 정보

• 지구의 수명: 빙하 연구에 따르면 지구는 12만 9600년 주기로 빙하기를 겪음
  • 이는 태양이 360도로 지구를 한 바퀴 도는 주기와 일치
• 임산부 흡연 퀴즈: ‘애 태우는 마음’

1. 사바세계의 본질과 인간의 욕망

이 세계는 불교에서 사바세계라고 불립니다. 사바세계는 ‘여자 위에 모래성을 쌓는 세상’이라는 비유로 설명될 수 있습니다. 이는 사람들이 여자에게 잘 보이기 위해 돈을 벌고 명예를 얻는 등, 모든 행동의 중심에 여자가 개입되어 있음을 의미합니다. ‘사(沙)’는 모래를, ‘바(婆)’는 파도를 뜻하며, 여자 위에 모래성을 쌓고 파도가 치는 것처럼 위태로운 세상임을 나타냅니다. 한자에서 ‘여자 녀(女)’ 변이 들어간 글자들(간음, 투기, 질투 등)이 부정적인 의미를 가지는 것도 이러한 맥락에서 이해될 수 있습니다.

사람들은 돈을 좇고 부부 문제로 평생을 다투는 등, 진정한 공부나 깨달음보다는 세속적인 욕망에 갇혀 살아갑니다. 이러한 세상을 불교에서는 차안(此岸), 즉 지옥과 같은 세상이라고 부릅니다. 차안의 반대편은 피안(彼岸)이며, 사바세계의 반대는 극락세계(極樂世界)입니다. 우리는 극락세계로 가기 위해 노력해야 합니다.

2. 베트남 전쟁 경험과 삶의 양면성
   화자는 베트남 전쟁 당시의 경험을 통해 삶의 극단적인 양면성. 베트남에 도착한 날, 옆방 이발소에 폭탄이 떨어져 8명의 병사가 몰살당하는 참혹한 사건을 목격했습니다. 폭탄의 방향에 따라 생사가 갈리는 상황은 삶과 죽음, 지옥과 낙원이 한순간에 뒤바뀔 수 있음을 보여줍니다.

특히, 막사와 이발소의 구조적 차이가 생존에 결정적인 영향을 미쳤습니다. 막사는 방탄 시설이 되어 있어 폭탄이 떨어져도 모두 죽지 않도록 설계되었지만, 이발소는 허술하여 폭탄에 취약했습니다. 이처럼 한 벽을 사이에 두고 지옥과 낙원이 갈리는 상황은 삶의 예측 불가능성과 운명의 중요성.

3. 복과 덕의 개념 및 위계
   불교에서는 예토(穢土)를 더러운 땅, 즉 우리가 살고 있는 현세로 봅니다. 예토의 반대는 정토(淨土)이며, 예토에서 정토로 가기 위해서는 복(福)을 지어야 합니다.

복(福): 삼세(전생, 현생, 미래생) 동안 행한 모든 선행에 대한 인과응보입니다. 이는 자신이 지은 선행의 결과로 받는 보답입니다.

덕(德): 자신에게 온 복을 남에게 베푸는 행위입니다. 빌 게이츠처럼 자신의 복을 타인을 위해 사용하는 것이 덕을 쌓는 것입니다.

복과 덕은 구분되며, 덕이 복보다 상위 개념입니다. 복은 덕을 이기지 못합니다. 악은 선을 이기지 못하고, 선은 복을 이기지 못하며, 복은 덕을 이기지 못합니다. 그리고 덕은 하늘을 이기지 못합니다.

복을 누리기만 하면 죄가 될 확률이 높습니다. 당뇨병, 심장병, 고혈압 등은 복을 누리다가 생기는 죄의 결과로 비유됩니다. 복을 받기만 하면 죄가 되기 쉽기 때문에, 복과 죄는 ‘삼촌간’이라고 표현됩니다.

반면, 자신에게 온 복을 이웃과 나누는 행위를 공덕(功德)이라고 합니다. 공덕은 덕을 남에게 베푸는 것입니다. 공덕보다 높은 개념은 은덕(恩德)이며, 그 위에 언덕(言德)이 있습니다. 덕에도 계급이 존재하며, 우리는 최소한 공덕은 지어야 합니다.

4. 초심과 발심의 의미
   초심(初心)은 복을 추구하는 욕심과 탐욕에 가깝습니다. 사람들은 처음에는 잘 먹고 잘 살기 위해 복을 받으려 노력합니다.

발심(發心)은 재벌이 된 빌 게이츠처럼, 자신이 큰 부자가 된 후에 진리를 깨닫고 덕을 짓기 시작하는 마음입니다. 발심은 선행을 결심하는 것이며, 진리를 깨닫겠다는 의지입니다. 불교와 기독교 모두 초심을 중요시하지만, 발심 또한 매우 중요합니다.

5. 인간의 정, 이치, 법, 권력, 하늘의 위계
   세상에는 다음과 같은 위계가 존재합니다.

인간의 정은 이치를 이기지 못합니다.

이치는 법을 이기지 못합니다.

법은 권력을 이기지 못합니다.

권력은 하늘을 이기지 못합니다.

이승만 대통령의 부정선거 사례처럼, 법과 권력을 지배하는 것처럼 보여도 결국 하늘은 속일 수 없으며, 하늘이 이승만을 내쫓았다.

또한, 용기는 지혜를 이기지 못하고, 지혜는 덕을 이기지 못합니다. 제갈공명이 아무리 지혜로워도 덕이 있는 유현덕을 이길 수 없었던 것처럼, 덕의 위치는 항상 높습니다.

덕보다 더 중요한 것은 전생 업보, 즉 운(運)입니다. 전생에 복을 많이 지은 사람은 이건희의 아들 이재용처럼 좋은 운을 타고 태어납니다. 운은 하늘과 같아서, 운이 다하면 아무리 권력을 가졌던 사람도 결국 몰락하게 됩니다.

6. 진리 탐구의 단계: 묻고 듣고 아는 것
   진리를 탐구하는 과정에는 단계가 있습니다.

구하는 것보다 묻는 것이 낫습니다.

묻는 것보다 듣는 것이 낫습니다.

듣는 것보다 아는 것이 낫습니다.

그러나 단순히 아는 것을 넘어, 그 지혜를 어떻게 활용하느냐가 중요합니다. 제갈공명처럼 지혜를 교활하게 사용하면 지혜로운 자일 뿐입니다. 반면, 유현덕처럼 지혜를 알고도 때로는 물러설 줄 아는 덕이 있는 자가 진정으로 높은 경지에 이른 사람입니다. 유현덕은 부하들을 사랑하여 불필요한 살생을 피하고 철수를 명령하는 등 덕장의 면모를 보였습니다.

7. 복과 덕의 순환 및 거짓과 진실의 위계
   복은 죄가 될 수 있습니다. 복을 누리기만 하고 베풀지 않으면 결국 죄로 변질될 수 있습니다.

반면, 덕은 복이 됩니다. 덕을 베풀면 그 복이 다시 자신에게 돌아오고, 이 복이 다시 덕으로 바뀌는 선순환이 일어납니다.

세상에는 거짓, 사실, 진실, 사랑(덕)의 위계가 존재합니다.

거짓은 사실을 이기지 못합니다.

사실은 진실을 이기지 못합니다.

진실은 사랑(덕)을 이기지 못합니다.

미국에서 리치라는 여성이 살인 누명을 썼을 때, 유명 인사가 거짓 증언을 하여 그녀를 살려낸 일화가 있습니다. 이 유명 인사의 거짓말은 사실과 달랐지만, 사람을 살리려는 사랑에서 비롯된 것이었기에 진실로 간주될 수 있습니다. 이는 진실이 사실을 지배하며, 그 진실의 바탕에는 사랑이 있음을 보여줍니다.

8. 자연의 질서와 신의 존재 증거
   작은 소나무 씨앗 속에 거대한 나무의 모든 정보(DNA)가 담겨 있듯이, 자연의 모든 생명체는 정교한 디자인에 의해 만들어졌습니다. 뿌리는 땅으로, 줄기는 위로 자라도록 입력되어 있으며, 잎, 줄기, 뿌리가 될 부분이 씨앗 안에 이미 정해져 있습니다. 이러한 씨앗의 존재는 어떤 과학자도 만들 수 없는 신의 증거입니다.

자연은 인간에게 산소를 제공하고, 인간은 나무에게 탄산가스를 제공하며 서로 교환하는 완벽한 생태계를 이루고 있습니다. 이는 신이 만들어 놓은 질서이며, 장난으로 만들어진 것이 아닙니다. 우리는 이러한 자연을 공짜로 감상할 수 있는 행복한 존재입니다.

9. 발심의 진정한 의미와 종자 전쟁
   불교에서 말하는 발심(發心)은 ‘발 아뇩다라삼먁삼보리살타심(發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提薩埵心)’의 줄임말입니다. 이는 ‘이 세상을 초월하여 모든 진리를 깨닫겠다’는 의미를 담고 있습니다. 이 열세 글자를 줄여 ‘발심’이라고 하며, 시작 글자와 끝 글자를 따서 ‘보살(菩薩)’이라고도 합니다. 보살은 초심이 아닌 발심을 한 사람을 의미합니다. 기독교에서는 집사, 전도사, 권사 등으로 불릴 수 있습니다.

발심은 마음의 씨앗, 즉 종자(種子)와 같습니다. 미래에는 종자 전쟁이 다가올 것이며, 많은 나라가 종자를 독점하고 있습니다. 유전자 조작(GMO)을 통해 농약에도 강한 종자를 만들어 식량 생산에 활용하고 있지만, 이는 미래에 엄청난 위기를 초래할 수 있습니다. 종자는 앞으로 강력한 무기가 될 것입니다.

화자는 세상을 녹색으로 바꾸라는 임금의 명령에 신하가 녹색 안경을 가져다준 일화를 통해, 발심이 곧 우리가 써야 할 진리 안경임. 진리에 접근하겠다는 마음을 가지면 세상이 진리로 보인다는 것입니다.

10. 졸탁동시와 탐진치 극복
    졸탁동시(啐啄同時)는 병아리가 알 안에서 껍질을 쪼고(啐), 어미 닭이 밖에서 껍질을 쪼아(啄) 동시에 알을 깨고 나오는 것을 의미합니다. 이는 안과 밖의 노력이 동시에 이루어져야 온전한 성장이 가능하다는 비유입니다.

인간은 탐진치(貪瞋癡), 즉 욕심, 성냄, 어리석음에 갇혀 있습니다. 이 탐진치에 갇혀 ‘내 것’만을 고집하면 우주와 하나가 될 수 없습니다. 화자는 자신의 강연이 탐진치에 갇힌 인간을 깨우는 ‘졸탁동기’라고 말합니다. 알 안에서 안주하려는 인간들에게 밖에서 깨우침의 동기를 부여하는 것이 자신의 역할이라는 것입니다.

이 알 안에서 편안하게 있는 것을 복이라고 한다면, 이 알을 깨고 나오는 것이 덕입니다. 복을 누리기만 하면 죄로 변하지만, 덕은 자신에게 온 복을 남에게 돌려주는 행위입니다.

11. 종교의 문제점과 허경영의 역할
    지구의 빙하기 주기는 13만 년이며, 이는 지구가 태양을 360도로 한 바퀴 도는 주기와 관련이 있습니다. 지구는 생체 교육장이며, 13만 년 동안 인간이 교육을 받다가 쓸만한 영혼은 다음 세상으로 가고, 유급하는 영혼은 다시 지구를 순환하며 교육을 받습니다.

사바세계에서 극락세계로 가는 배는 고해(苦海)의 바다를 건너야 합니다. 불교에서는 ‘발 아뇩다라삼먁삼보리살타심’이 이 배라고 말하지만, 화자는 허경영 자신이 이 고해를 건너게 해 줄 배.

화자는 종교가 세상을 전쟁으로 이끌고 있다고 비판합니다. 하늘이 가장 싫어하는 존재가 교인들이며, 열렬한 신앙인들이 오히려 예수를 죽인 것처럼, 종교는 남을 재단하고 전쟁을 일으키는 원인이 될 수 있습니다. 이슬람과 카톨릭 간의 종교 전쟁이 핵전쟁으로 이어질 수 있다고 경고하며, 자신이 이를 막기 위해 왔다고 말합니다.

화자는 종교를 만들거나 헌금을 받는 사람이 아니며, 사람들이 스스로 예수가 되고 부처가 되어야 한다. 자신의 역할은 졸탁동기를 부여하여 사람들이 알을 깨고 나오도록 돕는 것.

12. 이명박 회고록과 허경영의 공약
    이명박 대통령의 회고록 부록에 김윤옥 여사의 허경영 지지 발언이 실린 일화가 소개됩니다. 김윤옥 여사는 이명박 대통령이 재산을 기부하자, 아들 결혼 자금 문제로 허경영 후보의 신혼부부 지원 공약을 지지하겠다. 이는 허경영의 공약이 대중에게 널리 알려져 있음을 보여주는 사례로 제시됩니다.

이러한 내용이 회고록에 실린 것은 청와대 관계자들이 허경영의 인기를 알고 있었으며, 젊은 층의 지지를 얻기 위한 의도도 있었다고 해석됩니다.

13. 핵 문제와 세계 통일 전략
    화자는 미국이 북한의 플루토늄 프로젝트에 대해 ‘완벽하게(completely), 검증 가능하게(verifiably), 영구적으로(permanently) 제거(eliminate)’할 것을 주장했지만, 실제로는 북한, 이란, 파키스탄의 핵을 묵인하고 있다고 비판합니다.

화자는 자신의 핵 해결 방안으로 ‘충분히(fully), 검증 가능하게(verifiably), 되돌릴 수 없게(irreversibly) 폐기(dismantle)’를 제시합니다. 이는 북한이 핵을 폐기하고 대들 수 없도록 하되, 핵 발전소 사용은 허용하는 등 북한이 받아들일 수 있는 현실적인 방안.

미국이 이슬람권의 핵을 묵인하면서 북한의 핵 기술이 이란이나 파키스탄으로 이동할 수 있으며, 이는 결국 종교 핵전쟁으로 이어질 수 있다. 과거 천주교가 종교가 다르다는 이유로 수많은 사람을 화형시킨 것처럼, IS가 사람을 불태워 죽이는 잔인한 행위도 경전에 근거한 것이라고 지적하며 종교 전쟁의 위험성.

화자는 자신이 대한민국 대통령이 되어 세계 통일을 빨리 이루지 않으면 핵전쟁으로 인해 인류가 멸망할 수 있다.

14. 남북 통일의 위험성과 민생 문제
    화자는 베트남 전쟁 당시 프랑스의 보증과 키신저의 6자 회담에도 불구하고 미군 철수 후 한 달 만에 베트남이 공산화된 사례를 들며, 북한과의 섣부른 통일은 대한민국을 망하게 할 것.

현재 남한과 북한의 GNP 차이가 40대 1에 달하는 상황에서 통일은 양측 모두를 망하게 할 것이며, 특히 한국의 해운 및 조선 산업에 종사하는 수많은 실업자를 양산할 것. 시베리아 가스를 기차로 운송하는 등의 계획도 비현실적이라고 비판합니다.

독일 통일 당시 서독과 동독의 GNP 차이가 3대 1이었음에도 서독 주민들이 동독 주민들 때문에 세금을 더 낸다고 불평하는 상황을 언급하며, 40대 1의 차이에서 통일은 더욱 큰 갈등을 초래할 것.

화자는 통일보다 민생 해결이 더 시급하며, 가정의 통일(부모와 자식 간의 소통)부터 이루어져야 한다. 북한과의 통일은 북한 처녀들이 남한 졸부들의 ‘세컨드’가 되는 등 사회적 문제를 야기할 것이라고 우려합니다.

화자는 자신이 세계 최고의 통일 전문가이며, 통일은 늦을수록 좋다. 북한과의 통일은 2029년, 아시아 통일은 2025년, 세계 통일은 2030년으로 계획하고 있습니다.

15. 통일의 3대 요소와 교육 개혁
    통일의 3대 요소는 통합, 융합, 화합입니다.

통합의 3대 요소: 연합, 결합, 집합 (영토 연합)

융합의 3대 요소: 혼합, 용해, 발효

화합의 3대 요소: 양보, 소통, 박애

현재 한국 사회는 부모와 자식, 이웃 간에 양보, 소통, 박애 정신이 부족하다고 지적하며, 이러한 국민으로는 통일을 이룰 수 없다고 말합니다. 먼저 국민 교육을 통해 이러한 정신을 함양해야 한다.

화자는 세월호 참사 당시 대통령이 현장에 직접 가서 진두지휘했어야 한다고 비판하며, 공직자들의 소통 부재와 박애 정신 결여를 지적합니다.

또한, 통일부와 여성부를 폐지해야 한다. 통일부는 남한이 흡수 통일을 하려는 것으로 오해받을 수 있으며, 여성부는 여성을 장애인처럼 취급하는 불필요한 부서라고 말합니다.

교육 개혁에 대해서는 수능 시험을 없애고 한 과목만 시험을 보게 해야 한다. 중학교, 고등학교 6년 동안 자신이 좋아하는 한 과목만 시험을 보고, 그 총합계로 대학을 결정하게 하면 과외비도 줄고 부모와 자식 간의 소통도 원활해질 것.

16. 종교와 가족 해체
    화자는 종교가 가족을 해체시키고 있다고 비판합니다. 토요일과 일요일에 가족들이 함께 시간을 보내야 하지만, 종교 활동으로 인해 부모와 자식이 분리되어 대화할 시간이 없다는 것입니다. 이는 유럽에서 종교가 쇠퇴한 이유 중 하나.

종교는 사람들에게 복을 팔지만, 덕을 파는 사람은 없다고 지적하며, 사람들이 복만을 추구하는 현실을 비판합니다.

17. 졸탁동시와 인공 부화의 비유
    졸탁동시는 어미 닭과 병아리가 동시에 알을 깨는 자연 부화의 과정입니다. 그러나 요즘은 인공 부화 기술이 발달하여 어미 닭 없이 기계로 병아리를 부화시킵니다. 이는 유정란과 무정란의 차이로 설명될 수 있습니다. 유정란은 졸탁동시가 필요하지만, 무정란은 기계로 부화됩니다.

화자는 임산부가 담배를 피우는 것을 ‘애 태우는 마음’이라고 비유하며, 뱃속의 아이를 죽이는 행위.

18. 허경영에 대한 오해와 지지자 확산
    화자는 자신에 대한 주변의 부정적인 시선에 대해, 과거 예수님이나 부처님도 비슷한 대우를 받았다고 말합니다. 현재는 많은 사람들이 자신을 오해하고 있지만, 앞으로 자신의 책이 나오고 공중파 방송에 출연하게 되면 이러한 인식이 바뀔 것이라고 예상합니다.

자신에 대한 비판적인 시선조차 ‘노이즈 마케팅’으로 활용될 수 있으며, 사람들이 호기심에 자신의 책을 보게 될 것. 과거 예수님을 따르던 사람들이 무식한 사람들이었다고 여겨졌지만, 실제로는 예수가 가장 유식한 사람이었던 것처럼, 자신에 대한 오해도 결국 진실이 드러날 것.

화자는 자신을 지지하는 사람들이 전 세계적으로 2억 명에 달하며, 이는 어떤 교회 신도 수와도 비교할 수 없는 규모라고 말합니다. 또한, 중앙일보 여론조사에서 ‘크리스마스 때 만나고 싶은 사람’ 랭킹에 자신이 포함된 것을 언급하며 대중적 인기.

지지자들에게는 자신을 변명하거나 알리려고 노력할 필요가 없으며, 시간이 지나면 모든 것이 자연스럽게 밝혀질 것이라고 조언합니다.

복과 덕의 차이는 무엇인가? 복은 전생, 현생, 미래생에 걸쳐 행한 선행의 결과로 받는 것이지만, 덕은 그 복을 자신만을 위해 쓰지 않고 남에게 베푸는 행위입니다. 복은 죄로 변할 수 있지만, 덕은 계속해서 복을 낳는 상위 개념입니다.

1. 사바세계와 피안의 개념
   이 세상은 고통과 번뇌로 가득 찬 사바세계이며, 이는 불교에서 말하는 지옥과 같은 차안의 세상이다.

• 사바세계의 의미
  사바세계는 ‘여자 위에 모래성을 쌓는 세상’이라는 비유로 설명된다.

이는 사람들이 여자에게 잘 보이기 위해 돈과 명예를 추구하는 모습을 의미한다.

‘사(沙)’는 모래를, ‘바(婆)’는 파도를 의미하며, 여자 위에 모래성을 쌓는 것처럼 위태롭고 덧없는 세상을 뜻한다.

한자에서 ‘여자 여(女)’ 변이 들어간 글자(간음, 투기, 질투 등)는 부정적인 의미를 담고 있어, 여자가 개입된 세상은 나쁜 세상으로 인식되었다.

사람들은 돈을 쫓고 부부 문제로 평생 싸우며 살아가는데, 이것이 바로 사바세계의 모습이다.

사바세계는 다른 말로 차안(此岸)이라고 불리며, 지옥과 같은 세상이다.

• 피안과 극락세계
  차안의 반대편은 피안(彼岸)이며, 사바세계의 반대는 극락세계(極樂世界)이다.

우리는 사바세계보다는 극락세계로, 차안보다는 피안으로 가기 위해 노력해야 한다.

피안은 ‘언덕 안(岸)’ 자를 사용하여 저쪽 언덕을 의미한다.

지옥의 반대는 낙원이며, 탁세(濁世)의 반대는 천국이다.

우리가 사는 곳은 오탁악세(五濁惡世)라고 불리는 탁한 세상이다.

2. 복과 덕의 진리
   복은 과거, 현재, 미래의 선행에 대한 결과이지만, 덕은 그 복을 자신만을 위해 쓰지 않고 남에게 베푸는 행위이다. 덕은 복보다 상위 개념이며, 복은 자칫 죄로 변할 수 있다.

• 복의 의미와 한계
  복은 과거, 현재, 미래의 삼세(三世) 동안 행한 모든 선행에 대한 인과응보이다.

우리가 현재 살고 있는 곳은 더러운 땅인 예토(穢土)이며, 예토에서 깨끗한 땅인 정토(淨土)로 가기 위해서는 복을 지어야 한다.

복을 자신만을 위해 누리면 낭비가 될 수 있다.

예를 들어, 좋은 배우자를 만나 편안하게 사는 것은 복을 누리는 것이지만, 이는 복을 다 낭비하는 행위가 될 수 있다.

• 덕의 의미와 중요성
  덕은 삼세 동안 쌓은 선행의 결과로 받은 복을 남에게 베푸는 행위이다.

빌 게이츠처럼 자신에게 온 복을 남을 위해 사용하는 것이 덕을 쌓는 것이다.

덕을 짓는 사람은 복을 구하지 않는다.

복과 덕은 구분되며, 덕은 복의 상위 개념이다.

계급 순서: 악 < 선 < 복 < 덕 < 하늘

복은 받아봤자 독이 되거나 죄로 변할 확률이 높다.

당뇨병, 심장병, 고혈압 등 질병이나 술, 바람 등으로 인해 복이 죄로 바뀔 수 있다.

복과 죄는 삼촌 관계처럼 가깝다.

덕은 자신에게 온 복을 이웃과 나누는 것으로, 공덕(功德)이라고 불린다.

공덕은 후손에게 좋은 영향을 미친다.

덕에도 계급이 있으며, 공덕보다 높은 은덕, 그 위에 언덕이 있다.

우리는 언덕은 못하더라도 공덕은 꼭 지어야 한다.

덕은 계속해서 복을 낳는 선순환을 이룬다.

3. 초심과 발심의 차이
   초심은 개인적인 욕심과 탐욕에 기반한 복을 추구하는 마음인 반면, 발심은 진리를 깨닫고 덕을 베풀고자 하는 결심이다.

• 초심의 의미
  초심은 복에 가까운 마음으로, 처음에는 잘 먹고 잘 살기 위해 복을 받으려 한다.

부모에게 상속을 받으려 하는 등 개인적인 욕심과 탐욕에 물들어 있다.

• 발심의 의미와 중요성
  발심은 선행을 의미하며, 재벌이 된 빌 게이츠처럼 덕을 짓는 단계이다.

발심은 진리를 깨닫겠다는 결심이며, 좋은 일을 하겠다는 결심과 같다.

불교와 기독교 모두 초심을 중요시하지만, 발심 또한 매우 중요하다.

4. 진리의 순서와 자연의 법칙
   세상에는 정(情), 이(理), 법(法), 권력(權力), 하늘의 순서가 있으며, 거짓은 사실을, 사실은 진실을, 진실은 사랑을 이기지 못한다.

• 세상의 계급 순서
  인간의 정은 이치를, 이치는 법을, 법은 권력을, 권력은 하늘을 이기지 못한다.

이승만 대통령의 부정선거 사례처럼, 법과 권력을 지배해도 하늘은 속일 수 없다.

용기는 지혜를 이길 수 없고, 지혜는 덕을 이길 수 없다.

제갈공명은 지혜로운 자였지만, 덕이 있는 유현덕을 이길 수 없었다.

덕의 위치가 항상 높다.

• 거짓, 사실, 진실, 사랑의 관계
  거짓은 사실을 이기지 못하고, 사실은 진실을 이기지 못한다.

진실도 사랑을 이기지 못하며, 사랑이 곧 덕이다.

이는 자연의 순서이자 만물의 순서이다.

• 리치 사건 사례
  1930년 미국에서 리치라는 여자가 살인 누명을 썼다.

배심원과 판사는 여자의 말이 거짓이라고 판단했지만, 여자는 사실 살인을 저지르지 않았다.

여자는 죽어가는 사람을 풀어주려다 지문이 남게 되어 범인으로 몰렸다.

옷차림과 닮은 얼굴 때문에 현장에 가지도 않았는데 사형 선고를 받았다.

유명 인사가 법정에 나타나 “이 여자는 나와 함께 있었다”고 거짓 증언하여 여자를 살려냈다.

이 유명 인사의 말은 거짓이었지만, 사람을 살리기 위한 거짓말은 진실이 된다.

진실은 사실보다 위에 있으며, 하늘에 더 가깝다.

이 진실에는 사람을 살리려는 사랑과 희생이 담겨 있다.

결국 진짜 범인이 잡히면서 이 일화는 유명해졌다.

이 사례는 사실보다 진실이 중요하며, 진실은 사랑을 바탕으로 한다는 것을 보여준다.

5. 자연의 질서와 신의 존재
   자연의 모든 생명체는 정교한 디자인과 질서에 따라 만들어졌으며, 이는 신의 존재를 증명한다.

• 씨앗 속 DNA의 신비
  작은 씨앗 속에 거대한 나무의 모든 정보(DNA)가 담겨 있다.

씨앗은 뿌리가 될 부분과 줄기가 될 부분이 정확히 입력되어 있다.

전 세계 공학자들도 작은 씨앗 하나, 깨 하나, 쌀 한 톨을 만들지 못한다.

이는 신이 존재한다는 명확한 증거이다.

• 생태계의 상호작용
  씨앗에는 인간에게 산소를 제공하고, 인간이 내뿜는 탄산가스를 마시도록 하는 우주의 질서가 담겨 있다.

나무는 탄산가스를 먹고 산소를 만들며, 인간은 산소를 마시고 탄산가스를 내뿜으며 서로 교환한다.

이러한 자연의 이치는 신이 정교하게 만들어 놓은 것이다.

• 자연의 아름다움과 행복
  수목원이나 극장에 들어가려면 돈을 내야 하지만, 아름다운 자연은 공짜로 감상할 수 있다.

하늘이 만든 자연의 모든 것은 원래 관람료를 내야 하지만, 우리는 그것을 무료로 누리고 있다.

나무의 가지는 위로, 뿌리는 아래로 향하고, 동물들의 살아가는 모습 등 모든 자연의 형태는 신이 만들었다는 증거이다.

우리는 이러한 자연을 공짜로 감상할 수 있는 행복한 존재이다.

6. 불교의 발심과 보살의 의미
   불교에서 발심은 ‘아 욕다라삼먁삼보리살타심’이라는 긴 단어의 줄임말로, 이 세상을 초월하여 모든 진리를 깨닫겠다는 결심을 의미하며, 이러한 마음을 가진 사람을 보살이라고 부른다.

• 발심의 긴 이름과 의미
  불교에서는 사바세계와 극락세계를 합친 세계를 ‘발 아뇩다라삼먁삼보리살타심’이라고 부른다.

이 열세 글자를 줄여서 발심이라고 한다.

발심은 이 세상을 초월하여 모든 진리를 깨닫는다는 의미이다.

초심은 욕심과 탐욕에 물든 인간의 마음인 반면, 발심은 진리를 깨닫겠다는 마음이다.

• 보살의 의미
  ‘발 아뇩다라삼먁삼보리살타심’의 ‘보(菩)’자와 ‘살(薩)’자를 합치면 보살이 된다.

보살은 초심이 아닌 발심을 한 사람을 의미한다.

보살은 ‘보리살타’라고도 불리며, 보리살타의 마음이 곧 발심이다.

발심은 진리 쪽으로 목숨을 걸었다는 의미이며, 기독교에서는 집사, 전도사, 권사와 같은 의미로 사용된다.

‘삼먁삼보리’는 우주의 진리를 의미하며, 진리를 따르겠다고 결심하는 것이 발심이다.

7. 종자 전쟁과 미래 사회
   미래에는 종자 전쟁이 발생하여 식량 안보에 큰 위협이 될 것이며, 이는 국가의 생존과 직결되는 문제이다.

• 종자의 중요성
  발심은 마음의 씨앗인 종자와 같다.

씨앗을 보면 거목이 될지 아닐지 이미 정해져 있듯이, 종자는 매우 중요하다.

• 종자 전쟁의 위협
  미래에는 종자 전쟁이 다가오고 있으며, 많은 씨앗을 미국 등 다른 나라가 독점하고 있다.

한국은 종자를 뺏겨 외국에서 콩, 쌀 종자를 수입해야 농사를 지을 수 있는 상황이다.

서양은 유전자 조작(GMO)을 통해 농약에도 강한 종자를 만들어 대량 생산하고 있다.

이로 인해 미래에는 종자 때문에 엄청난 위기가 오고, 식량 전쟁이 발생할 것이다.

• 종자를 이용한 통제
  전 세계에 종자를 공급하지 않으면 북한은 농사를 지을 수 없게 되어 항복할 수밖에 없다.

종자는 미래의 강력한 무기가 될 것이다.

8. 진리 안경과 졸탁동시
   세상을 녹색으로 바꾸는 녹색 안경처럼, 발심은 진리를 바라보는 진리 안경과 같다. 또한, 알을 깨고 나오는 병아리처럼, 인간은 탐진치에 갇힌 사바세계에서 벗어나 졸탁동시를 통해 우주와 하나가 되어야 한다.

• 진리 안경의 비유
  임금이 세상을 녹색으로 바꾸라는 명령에 신하가 녹색 안경을 주어 한 시간 만에 세상을 녹색으로 만들었다.

이처럼 발심은 우리가 써야 할 진리 안경과 같다.

사람들은 자신의 고집 때문에 진리 안경을 쓰려 하지 않지만, 반드시 바꿔야 한다.

• 졸탁동시의 의미
  졸탁동시(啐啄同時)는 병아리가 알 안에서 껍질을 쪼고, 어미 닭이 밖에서 쪼아주어 병아리가 나오는 것을 의미한다.

이 시기가 정확하게 맞아야 건강한 병아리가 태어난다.

인간은 탐진치(貪瞋癡), 즉 욕심, 성냄, 어리석음에 갇혀 사바세계에 머물러 있다.

탐진치는 인간이 우주와 하나가 되는 것을 방해한다.

졸탁동시는 이 탐진치의 껍질을 깨고 나와야 하는 때를 의미한다.

• 졸탁동기와 허경영의 역할
  졸탁동기(啐啄同機)는 알을 깰 수 있는 동기를 부여하는 것을 의미한다.

허경영의 강의는 사람들이 탐진치에서 벗어나도록 동기를 부여하는 역할을 한다.

사람들은 탐진치에 갇혀 누에고치처럼 안에서 살려 하지만, 밖으로 나와야 한다.

졸탁동기를 통해 탐진치의 껍질을 깨면 우주와 하나가 되어 공동체를 이룰 수 있다.

이것을 다른 말로 덕이라고 한다.

알 안에서 편안하게 있는 것은 복이며, 나오지 않으면 죄로 변한다.

덕은 자신에게 온 복을 남에게 돌려주는 것이다.

9. 지구의 역사와 인류의 교육
   지구는 13만 년 주기로 빙하기를 겪으며 정화되고, 인류는 이 지구에서 영혼의 교육을 받는다.

• 지구의 빙하기 주기
  지구는 13만 년마다 빙하기가 찾아온다.

정확히는 12만 9600년 주기로 빙하기가 오는데, 이는 360년 곱하기 360년의 결과이다.

지구가 태양을 360도로 한 바퀴 돌면 빙하기가 온다.

빙하기 동안 지구는 완전히 냉동 건조되어 소독되고, 빙하가 녹으면 다시 생명체가 만들어진다.

모든 동물과 인간은 철저한 디자인에 의해 만들어졌다.

• 지구는 생체 교육장
  지구는 영혼을 교육하는 생체 교육장이다.

12만 9600년 동안 인간이 교육을 받다가 쓸만한 영혼은 건져지고, 유급하는 영혼은 다시 지구를 순환하며 교육을 받는다.

석가모니와 같은 존재들이 계속해서 사람들을 가르치며, 이 교육을 빨리 마쳐야 다음 세상으로 갈 수 있다.

10. 고해의 바다와 허경영의 역할
    고통스러운 고해의 바다를 건너 극락세계로 가기 위해서는 허경영이라는 배를 타야 하며, 종교는 오히려 세상을 전쟁으로 이끌 수 있다.

• 고해의 바다를 건너는 배
  사바세계에서 극락세계로 가기 위해서는 고해의 바다를 건너야 한다.

불교에서 말하는 ‘발 아뇩다라삼먁삼보리살타심’은 허경영이라는 배로 바뀌었다.

허경영이라는 배를 타야 고해의 바다를 지나갈 수 있다.

허경영은 사람들을 사바세계에서 극락세계로 옮겨주기 위해 인터넷을 통해 메시지를 전달한다.

• 종교의 문제점과 핵전쟁의 위협
  허경영은 종교나 조직을 만들지 않으며, 종교는 가짜이다.

하늘에서 가장 싫어하는 존재는 교인들이다.

헌금을 잘 내고 율법을 철저히 지키는 사람들이 예수를 죽였듯이, 종교인들은 남을 재단하고 세상을 전쟁으로 만든다.

앞으로 이슬람이 원자무기를 가지게 되어 뉴욕으로 날아가면 세계 대전이 일어날 것이다.

핵전쟁이 일어나면 전 세계가 핵낙진으로 오염되어 발 붙일 곳이 없어진다.

세계 대전은 이슬람 종교 때문에 일어날 것이다.

11. 허경영의 핵 문제 해결 방안
    허경영은 북한 핵 문제에 대해 미국과 다른 해결 방안을 제시하며, 이는 북한이 받아들일 수 있는 현실적인 접근 방식이다.

• 미국의 핵 문제 해결 방식
  미국은 북한의 플루토늄 프로젝트를 ‘완벽하게(Completely), 검증 가능하게(Verifiably), 영구적으로(Permanently) 제거(Eliminate)’하겠다.

하지만 미국은 북한, 이란, 파키스탄의 핵을 방치하여 이슬람권으로 핵이 확산될 위험을 키웠다.

• 허경영의 핵 문제 해결 방안
  허경영은 핵을 ‘충분히(Fully), 검증 가능하게(Verifiably), 되돌릴 수 없게(Irreversibly) 폐기(Dismantle)’해야 한다.

‘되돌릴 수 없게’는 영구적인 것과 같은 의미이다.

‘폐기’는 핵을 완전히 없애는 것을 의미한다.

허경영의 방안은 북한이 핵발전소에서 핵을 사용하는 것은 허용하되, 핵무기는 충분히 제거하고 폐기하는 것이다.

이 방안은 북한이 받아들일 수 있는 현실적인 해결책이다.

12. 통일 문제와 국가 정책 비판
    허경영은 현재의 남북 통일은 시기상조이며, 오히려 국가를 망하게 할 것. 또한, 현 정부의 정책과 교육 시스템을 비판하며 국민의 민생과 내부 통일이 우선되어야 한다.

• 남북 통일의 위험성
  남북 통일은 절대 해서는 안 되며, 통일하면 대한민국은 문을 닫을 것이다.

월남이 평화 통일을 주장하며 미군과 한국군이 철수하자마자 공산화된 사례를 통해 북한과의 통일이 위험하다.

월남 철수 당시 마지막 비행기가 기름을 빼고 다낭 공항으로 가서 다시 기름을 넣고 이륙하는 등 위험한 상황이었다.

공항까지 가는 길도 전투를 벌이며 이동했고, 공항에서도 3일간 대기해야 했다.

다낭 공항에는 월맹 폭격기가 수백 대 대기하고 있었으며, 철수 후 며칠 만에 월남이 공산화되었다.

독일은 동독과 서독의 GNP 차이가 3대 1이었지만, 한국은 남북한의 GNP 차이가 40대 1이다.

40대 1의 차이로 통일하면 남북한 모두 망할 것이다.

해운, 조선 산업이 몰락하고 300만 명의 실업자가 발생할 것이다.

시베리아 가스를 기차로 싣고 오는 것은 비현실적이며, 해운 산업에 종사하는 많은 사람들의 생계를 위협한다.

서독 사람들도 동독 사람들 때문에 세금을 더 낸다고 불평하는데, 40대 1의 차이로 통일하면 더 큰 문제가 발생할 것이다.

통일이 되면 북한 처녀들이 남한 졸부들의 세컨드가 되는 등 사회 문제가 발생할 것이다.

근로자들은 굶어 죽는데 졸부들을 위해 통일을 시켜줄 필요가 없다.

허경영은 북한과의 통일은 늦을수록 좋으며, 2029년에 세계 통일, 2030년에 아시아 통일을 목표로 한다.

공산주의와의 통일은 상상도 하지 말아야 한다.

북한이 통일하자고 수십 년 동안 사정할 때, 양보, 소통, 박애 정신이 확실할 때 통일을 고려해야 한다.

• 정부 정책 및 교육 시스템 비판
  민생을 생각하지 않고 통일이나 개헌을 논하는 것은 나라를 초토화시키려는 행위이다.

현재는 우리나라 내부의 통일, 즉 가정부터 통일시키는 것이 더 급하다.

통일부와 여성부를 없애야 한다.

독일 등 분단국가에는 통일부가 없었으며, 통일부는 남에게 오해를 살 수 있다.

여성은 장애인이 아니므로 여성부는 필요 없으며, 보건복지부 안에 여성국과 장애국을 두면 된다.

통일부가 있는 한 통일은 이루어지지 않는다.

연애나 결혼도 부수적인 것이듯, 남북 통일도 서로 좋게 대화하다가 자연스럽게 이루어져야 한다.

가난한 북한이 부자인 남한과 같이 살겠다고 하는 것은 의심스럽다.

우리는 북한에 계속 통일 안 하겠다고 주장해야 한다.

교육 정책을 바꿔야 한다.

수능 시험을 없애고, 한 과목만 시험을 보고 여러 과목을 수업받아야 한다.

중학교, 고등학교 6년 동안 자신이 좋아하는 한 과목만 시험을 보고, 그 합계 점수로 대학을 가야 한다.

이렇게 하면 과외비가 들지 않고, 부모와 자식 간의 소통도 원활해질 것이다.

현재 교육 시스템은 부모와 자식 간을 이간질하고 있다.

현재 정치인들의 얼굴을 보면 우리나라의 미래가 망하는 길로 가고 있다는 것을 알 수 있다.

13. 종교의 문제점과 허경영의 메시지
    종교는 사람들에게 복을 팔아먹고 가족을 분리시키며 세계 전쟁을 일으킬 수 있다. 허경영은 종교를 떠나 진리를 전하며, 사람들이 복이 아닌 덕을 추구하도록 이끈다.

• 종교의 폐해
  절이나 교회에 너무 열심히 다니는 사람들이 결국 세계 전쟁을 일으킨다.

종교는 토요일, 일요일에 가족들이 대화할 시간을 빼앗고 부모와 자식을 분리시킨다.

유럽에서는 현명한 사람들이 종교를 벗어나고 있다.

종교는 사람들에게 복을 팔아먹지만, 덕을 파는 사람은 없다.

사람들은 복만 빌고 앉아 있다.

• 허경영의 역할과 메시지
  허경영은 종교를 떠나 진리를 전하며, 사람들에게 복이 아닌 덕을 추구하도록 가르친다.

허경영은 빙하기 주기, 종자 전쟁 등 미래의 위험을 알고 있으며, 이를 막기 위해 왔다.

허경영은 메시아로서 사람들을 고해의 바다에서 낙원으로 인도하기 위해 졸탁동기를 부여한다.

99.9%의 사람들이 계란 속에서 나오지 않으려 하지만, 허경영은 인터넷과 TV를 통해 전 세계 인류를 바꿀 것이다.

허경영은 종교를 권장하지 않으며, 사람들이 스스로 예수나 부처가 되어야 한다.

14. 질의응답 및 마무리

• 임산부 흡연 퀴즈
  임산부가 흡연하는 것을 ‘애 태우는 마음’이라고 한다.

뱃속의 아이를 태운다는 의미이다.

• 허경영 지지자에 대한 주변의 시선
  허경영 지지자에 대해 주변 사람들이 이상하게 보거나, ‘어디 아프냐’고 묻는 경우가 있다.

이는 예수님이나 부처님도 겪었던 일이다.

허경영의 지지자는 이미 많지만, TV나 정보에 갇힌 사람들은 아직 남아 있다.

허경영의 책이 나오고 공중파에 나가 강의를 하면 사람들의 인식이 바뀔 것이다.

사람들은 허경영의 책을 보고 ‘무슨 이상한 소리를 했나’ 궁금해하며 읽게 될 것이고, 이는 노이즈 마케팅이 될 것이다.

과거 예수도 고향에서 무시당하고 박해받았듯이, 허경영도 처음에는 병이나 고치러 오는 사람으로 인식되지만, 나중에는 전 세계에 전파될 것이다.

현재 허경영의 지지자는 전 세계적으로 약 2억 명에 달한다.

중앙일보 여론조사에서 ‘크리스마스 때 만나고 싶은 사람’ 랭킹에 허경영이 포함되기도 했다.

지지자들은 굳이 변명하거나 알리려 노력할 필요가 없으며, 시간이 지나면 모든 것이 정리될 것이다.

2015.02.07 962 The Truth of Initial and Awakened Mind: The Truth of Blessings and virtue

This excerpt from a lecture by Huh Kyung-young, delivered on February 7, 2015, delves into his unique spiritual and societal philosophy. He contrasts the “Saba world” (our current, suffering realm) with the “Pure Land” or “Heaven,” emphasizing the distinction between “blessings” (복) and “virtue” (덕). while blessings are received, virtue is given, and true spiritual progress comes from cultivating virtue. The lecture also touches upon his views on Korean unification, the dangers of religious conflict, and his self-proclaimed role as a messianic figure.

The Nature of Our World and Spiritual Progress

The “Saba World” and the Illusion of Happiness
Huh Kyung-young describes our current world as the “Saba world,” a realm built on fleeting desires and attachments, particularly to women and material wealth. this pursuit of superficial happiness leads to a life of conflict and suffering, contrasting it with the true peace found in the “Pure Land” or “Heaven.” This perspective challenges the common understanding of happiness, suggesting that what we often chase is merely an illusion.

이 세계는, 사실은 불교에서는 이 세계 자체가 이 사바세계 라고 그래요. 이걸 왜 사바세계라고 하죠? 왜 사바세계라고 그럴까? 불교에서는 이걸 왜 사바세계라고 그러냐면 여자 위에다가 모래성을 쌓는 거야. 여자한테 잘 보이려고 돈 벌고 여자한테 잘 보일려고 명예를 얻고. 다 여자가 중간에 끼어있는 거야. 그러니까 여자 위에다 모래성을 쌓는 거야.
This world, in Buddhism, is called the Saba world. Why is it called the Saba world? Why would it be called the Saba world? In Buddhism, it’s called the Saba world because it’s like building a sandcastle on top of a woman. People earn money to look good to women, and gain honor to look good to women. Women are involved in everything. it’s like building a sandcastle on top of a woman.

공부할 생각은 안 하고 머릿 속에 돈만 생기면 그냥 허허 돈이 없고 나이가 들면은 그걸 좀 포기하는데 웬만하면 거기에 부부 문제가 평생 가는 거예요. 싸우다가 한 평생. 그러니까 이걸 사바세계라고 그래.
People don’t think about studying; if money comes to mind, they just… If they don’t have money and get old, they give up on it, but usually, marital problems last a lifetime. A lifetime of fighting. this is called the Saba world.

The Hierarchy of Goodness: From Evil to Heaven
He presents a clear hierarchy of spiritual concepts, starting from evil and ascending to heaven. This framework highlights that virtue (덕) is a higher concept than blessings (복), and ultimately, virtue is what connects us to the divine. This is a powerful idea, suggesting that simply receiving good fortune isn’t enough; how we use that fortune determines our true spiritual standing.

악은 뭘 못 이겨요? 선을 못 이겨. 이렇게 계급에 순서가 있는 거야. 이게 이등병이야. 악한 자는 선한 자를 못 이기고 선한 자는 복을 못 이겨요. 복은 덕을 못 이겨. 덕은 뭘 못 이겨요? 덕은 뭘 못 이긴다고요? 하늘을 못 이겨요.
What can evil not overcome? Evil cannot overcome good. There’s a hierarchy like this. Evil is like a private. The evil cannot overcome the good, and the good cannot overcome blessings. Blessings cannot overcome virtue. What can virtue not overcome? What did I say virtue cannot overcome? Virtue cannot overcome Heaven.

복은 받아봤자 독이고 대부분 뭘로 바뀌냐면 죄가 되는 거예요. 당뇨병, 심장병, 고혈압. 앉아 가지고 잘 먹고 잘 사니까. 자기만 술 퍼마시고 술집 가서 바람나고 이러면서 이 복은 죄로 갈 바뀔 확률이 굉장히 높아요. 복을 누리고 받기만 하면은 죄가 돼버리는 거예요.
Even if you receive blessings, they are poison and mostly turn into sin. Diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure. Because people sit around, eat well, and live well. If they only drink alcohol, go to bars and have affairs, these blessings are very likely to turn into sin. If you only enjoy and receive blessings, they become sin.

The Distinction Between Blessings (복) and Virtue (덕)
Huh Kyung-young draws a sharp distinction between blessings (복) and virtue (덕). Blessings are the rewards for past good deeds, often leading to a comfortable life. However, if these blessings are merely consumed for personal gain, they can turn into sin. Virtue, on the other hand, is the act of using one’s blessings to help others, transforming personal fortune into a higher spiritual good. This concept is particularly striking as it redefines what it means to be truly “blessed.”

복은 뭐냐 하면은 3세 동안- 전생, 현생, 과거, 전현생 과거까지 3세- 동안 행한것에 대해서 받는 거야.
Blessings are what you receive for what you have done over three lifetimes—past, present, and even previous past lives.

내가 전생과 현생에 복을 많이 지어서 그걸 받아 누리면, 남편 잘 만나서 편안하게 한 평생 잘 살면 복을 다 낭비해 버리는 거예요.
If I accumulated many blessings in past and present lives and enjoy them, like meeting a good husband and living a comfortable life, I’m just wasting all those blessings.

그런데 3세 선행을 한 인과 응보를 남한테 베풀어. 가령 자기한테 온 복을 빌게이츠 같이 오히려 남을 위해서 다 사용하는거야. 아프리카에 굶어 죽어가는 애들, 학교 못 가는 애들, 병 못 고치는 애들 도와 주면 그것이 뭐예요? 덕이야 덕.
But if you bestow the karmic rewards of good deeds from three lifetimes on others. For example, like Bill Gates, you use all the blessings that came to you for others. If you help starving children in Africa, children who can’t go to school, or children who can’t get medical treatment, what is that? That is virtue.

Societal Critique and Future Vision

The Dangers of Unification with North Korea
Huh Kyung-young offers a stark warning against immediate unification with North Korea, citing the vast economic disparity (40:1 GDP ratio) and the potential for societal collapse. such a unification would lead to widespread unemployment, the destruction of key industries, and social problems like the exploitation of North Korean women. His pragmatic, almost cynical, view challenges the romanticized notion of unification often held in South Korea.

우리나라는 절대, 북한과 통일을 하면 망하는 거예요. 어떤 경우라도 북한과 통일을 하면 우리 나라는 그날 이후로 문 닫아. 대한민국은 없어져요.
Our country will absolutely be ruined if we unify with North Korea. Under no circumstances should we unify with North Korea; our country will close its doors from that day on. The Republic of Korea will cease to exist.

그러면 왜 망하냐? 우리나라 해군 산업, 실업자, 그 다음에 우리나라 조선산업이 세계 1 위야. 그럼 우리나라 조선산업이 그대로 망해. 실업자가 300만 명이 나와. 왜? 화물을 러시아로 북한이 실어 나르면 우리나라는 망하는 거야.
So why would we be ruined? Our naval industry, unemployment, and our shipbuilding industry are number one in the world. Then our shipbuilding industry would collapse. Three million people would become unemployed. Why? If North Korea transports cargo to Russia, our country would be ruined.

The Problem with Traditional Religion
He criticizes traditional religions for fostering division and even war, arguing that they pull families apart and encourage a focus on “blessings” rather than “virtue.” He believes that religious institutions, by emphasizing external rituals and offerings, distract people from true spiritual growth and can lead to self-righteousness and judgment. This is a bold and controversial stance, especially given his own spiritual claims.

절이나 교회에 너무 열심히 다니는 사람들이 결국 세계 전쟁을 일으킨다는 겁니다. 토요일날 일요일날 가족들하고 오손도손 엄마하고 대화해야 되는데 이 종교들은 부모와 자식을 바깥으로 끄집어내버려.
People who go to temples or churches too diligently are ultimately the ones who start world wars. On Saturdays and Sundays, families should be chatting happily with their mothers, but these religions pull parents and children out of the home.

종교는 모든 사람들에게 뭘 팔아먹어요? 복을 팔아. 이것을 파는 사람이 없어요. 덕을 파는 사람이 없어. 지금 전부 이걸 빌고 앉아있는 거야.
What do religions sell to everyone? They sell blessings. There’s no one selling this (virtue). There’s no one selling virtue. Everyone is just sitting around praying for this (blessings).

His Role as a “Messenger” and Catalyst for Change
Huh Kyung-young positions himself as a divine messenger sent to awaken humanity from its “Saba world” slumber. He uses the analogy of “Joltakdongsi” (졸탁동시), where a chick pecks from inside the egg while the mother hen pecks from outside, to illustrate his role in helping people break free from their self-imposed limitations. He sees his lectures and public presence as the external “pecking” that will lead to a global awakening.

졸탁동시라는 거는 내가 이 계란을 밖에서 깨주는 거야. 근데 여러분이 안에서 가만히 있으면 졸탁동시가 되나 안 되나? 안 되죠.
Joltakdongsi means I’m breaking this egg from the outside. But if you just stay still inside, can Joltakdongsi happen? No, it can’t.

지금 내가 강의를 하는 것은 여러분들에게 탐진치라는 이 라인에 갇혀 있는 이 인간이 이 라인만 없애버리면 우주와 70억과 하나가 돼요 안 돼요? 하나가 되는 거야.
What I’m lecturing about now is that if this human, trapped in the line of greed, anger, and foolishness, just eliminates this line, will they become one with the universe and 7 billion people? Yes, they will become one.

그래서 내가 와서 이걸 때려주는 거야. 지금 졸탁동기. 동기를 부여해주는 게 내 강의야.
So I came to hit this (egg). This is Joltakdonggi. My lecture is what provides the motivation.

This excerpt is from a lecture by Huh Kyung-young, a South Korean politician and spiritual figure, delivered on February 7, 2015. In this lecture, Huh Kyung-young delves into his unique worldview, contrasting concepts like “initial mind (초심)” and “awakened mind (발심)”, and distinguishing between “blessings (복)” and “virtue (덕)”. He also touches upon his controversial political views, including his stance on inter-Korean unification and his role as a messianic figure. The core message revolves around transcending worldly desires and cultivating virtue to achieve a higher state of being, while also presenting his vision for societal and global transformation.

The Worldview of “Saba World” and the Path to “Paradise”

The “Saba World” as a Trap of Desire
Huh Kyung-young presents a rather cynical, yet thought-provoking, interpretation of the Buddhist concept of the “Saba World” (사바세계). this world is fundamentally built upon human desire, particularly the desire to impress women, which he sees as the root of many societal ills. This perspective is striking because it challenges conventional notions of ambition and success, reframing them as mere pursuits within a flawed system.

이 세계는, 사실은 불교에서는 이 세계 자체가 이 사바세계 라고 그래요
In Buddhism, this world itself is called the Saba World.이걸 왜 사바세계라고 하죠? 왜 사바세계라고 그럴까? 불교에서는 이걸 왜 사바세계라고 그러냐면 여자 위에다가 모래성을 쌓는 거야Why is it called the Saba World? Why? In Buddhism, it’s called the Saba World because you build a sandcastle on top of a woman.여자한테 잘 보이려고 돈 벌고 여자한테 잘 보일려고 명예를 얻고. 다 여자가 중간에 끼어있는 거야You earn money to look good to women, you gain honor to look good to women. Women are involved in everything.모든 건 계집 여 변이 들어가면은 나쁜 세상이야If the character for ‘woman’ is in any word, it signifies a bad world.여자 위에다가 모래성 쌓느라고 다 바쁜 거야Everyone is busy building sandcastles on top of women.

From “This Shore” to “That Shore”: Escaping the Cycle
He then introduces the Buddhist concepts of “This Shore (차안)” and “That Shore (피안),” equating “This Shore” with a hellish existence and “That Shore” with paradise. This framework emphasizes the need for individuals to actively seek a higher state of being, moving beyond the suffering inherent in the “Saba World.” His call to “think positively” even in the face of disaster, like a cannon falling, highlights his belief in the power of mindset to transcend immediate circumstances.

이걸 다른 말로 하면 이걸 차안(此岸)이라고해요
In other words, this is called “This Shore” (此岸).차안은 지옥 같은 세상이다 이 말이야This Shore is a hell-like world.그리고 여기가 차안이면 여기는 뭐가 돼? 피안(彼岸)이야And if this is This Shore, what is this? It’s “That Shore” (彼岸).이 사바세계보다는 극락세계로 가야 되고 차안 보다는 피안으로 가야 된다We must go to the Pure Land rather than this Saba World, and to That Shore rather than This Shore.뭐든지 좋은 쪽으로 생각해요Think positively about everything.

The Hierarchy of Virtue: Blessings, Virtue, and Heaven

The Distinction Between “Blessings” and “Virtue”
Huh Kyung-young draws a crucial distinction between “blessings (복)” and “virtue (덕).” He defines blessings as the rewards received for good deeds accumulated over three lifetimes (past, present, future). However, he warns that merely enjoying these blessings can lead to their “waste” and even transform them into “sins.” This is a powerful and contrarian idea, suggesting that passive reception of good fortune can be detrimental. Virtue, on the other hand, is about actively giving those blessings to others, transforming personal gain into collective good. This redefines the purpose of good fortune, shifting it from self-indulgence to altruism.

복은 뭐냐 하면은 3세 동안- 전생, 현생, 과거, 전현생 과거까지 3세- 동안 행한것에 대해서 받는 거야
Blessings are what you receive for what you have done over three lifetimes—past, present, and even past lives.내가 3세(世) 동안, 현재 미래 과거의 생애 동안 지은 모든 선행에 대한 인과에 대한 응보야.그게 복이에요It is the karmic retribution for all good deeds I have done over three lifetimes: present, future, and past. That is a blessing.내가 전생과 현생에 복을 많이 지어서 그걸 받아 누리면, 남편 잘 만나서 편안하게 한 평생 잘 살면 복을 다 낭비해 버리는 거예요If I accumulate many blessings in past and present lives and enjoy them, living a comfortable life with a good husband, I am wasting all those blessings.3세 선행을 한 인과 응보를 남한테 베풀어.가령 자기한테 온 복을 빌게이츠 같이 오히려 남을 위해서 다 사용하는거야You bestow the karmic retribution of good deeds from three lifetimes upon others. For example, like Bill Gates, you use the blessings that come to you entirely for others.아프리카에 굶어 죽어가는 애들, 학교 못 가는 애들, 병 못 고치는 애들 도와 주면 그것이 뭐예요? 덕이야 덕If you help starving children in Africa, children who can’t go to school, children who can’t be cured of diseases, what is that? That is virtue.

The Hierarchy of Power: Evil, Good, Blessings, Virtue, and Heaven
He establishes a clear hierarchy: evil cannot overcome good, good cannot overcome blessings, blessings cannot overcome virtue, and virtue cannot overcome heaven. This framework provides a moral compass, emphasizing that true power lies not in worldly achievements but in spiritual elevation and altruism. The idea that “blessings, if only received, become sin” is a particularly sharp critique of self-serving prosperity.

악은 뭘 못 이겨요? 선을 못 이겨
What can evil not overcome? It cannot overcome good.선한 자는 복을 못 이겨요The good cannot overcome blessings.복은 덕을 못 이겨Blessings cannot overcome virtue.덕은 뭘 못 이겨요? 덕은 뭘 못 이긴다고요? 하늘을 못 이겨요What can virtue not overcome? What can virtue not overcome? It cannot overcome heaven.복은 받아봤자 독이고 대부분 뭘로 바뀌냐면 죄가 되는 거예요Blessings, if merely received, are poison and mostly turn into sin.복을 누리고 받기만 하면은 죄가 돼버리는 거예요If you only enjoy and receive blessings, they become sins.

The Evolution of “Mind”: From “Initial Mind” to “Awakened Mind”
Huh Kyung-young connects these concepts to the “initial mind (초심)” and “awakened mind (발심).” The initial mind is driven by greed and desire for blessings, while the awakened mind signifies a commitment to truth and the practice of virtue. This progression highlights a spiritual journey from self-interest to enlightenment, where true fulfillment comes from giving rather than taking.

이 초심이라는 것은 복에 가까운 거예요
This “initial mind” is close to blessings.사람들이 처음에는 잘 먹고 잘 살려고 해People initially want to eat well and live well.복 받는데만 뛰어다녀They only run around seeking blessings.그러다 빌게이츠같이 재벌이 딱 되면 발심을 해Then, when they become a tycoon like Bill Gates, they awaken their mind.발심이 뭐예요? 발심이 뭐의 약자예요? 선행이지What is “awakened mind”? What is it short for? Good deeds.초심은 욕심이야The initial mind is greed.발심은 이제 자기가 진리를 깨닫겠다 하는게 발심이야The awakened mind is when one decides to realize the truth.

The Power of Truth and Love: Beyond Lies and Facts

The Hierarchy of Truth: Lies, Facts, Truth, and Love
He introduces another profound hierarchy: lies cannot overcome facts, facts cannot overcome truth, and truth cannot overcome love. This sequence culminates in love as the ultimate power, even surpassing objective truth. His anecdote about the famous person who lied in court to save an innocent woman, and how that lie was considered “truth” because it was born of love, is a powerful illustration of this philosophy. It suggests that compassion and the intention to do good can elevate an action beyond mere factual accuracy.

거짓은 사실을 못 이겨
Lies cannot overcome facts.사실은 뭘 못 이겨? 진실을 못 이겨What can facts not overcome? They cannot overcome truth.진실도 사랑을 못 이이기는데 이게 뭐야? 덕이야Even truth cannot overcome love, and what is this? It is virtue.이럴 때 이런 인사가 하는 거짓말, 여러분들이 누구를 살리면서 하는 거짓말을 다른 말로 바꾸면 뭐야? 그게 진실이라고 하는 거예요In such a situation, what is a lie told by such a prominent person, a lie you tell to save someone, called in other words? It is called truth.사실보다 위에 있어 아래에 있어? 사실보다 위에 있잖아Is it above or below facts? It’s above facts.진실이 사실을 지배해요Truth governs facts.그러면 이 진실에는 뭐가 있어야 돼요? 사랑Then what must truth have? Love.

The “Joltakdongsi” and the Call to Awaken

“Joltakdongsi”: The Synchronized Awakening
Huh Kyung-young uses the metaphor of “Joltakdongsi (졸탁동시),” the synchronized pecking of a chick from inside its egg and the mother hen from outside, to describe the process of spiritual awakening. He sees his lectures as the “pecking from outside,” providing the motivation (동기) for people to break free from the “Saba World” and its traps of greed, anger, and foolishness (탐진치). This metaphor is particularly effective in conveying his role as a catalyst for individual and collective transformation.

졸탁동시라는 거는 내가 이 계란을 밖에서 깨주는 거야
“Joltakdongsi” means I break the egg from the outside.졸탁동시라는 것은 안에서 새끼가 탁탁 치면은 엄마가 소리를 듣고 탁 깨줘요”Joltakdongsi” means when the chick pecks from inside, the mother hears the sound and pecks it open.이 인간들이뭐에 갇혀 있어요? 사바에 갇혀 있다니까 사바What are these humans trapped in? They’re trapped in Saba, the Saba World.탐진치에 갇혀 있죠 그렇죠? 탐 진 치 에 인간이 갇혀 있어요They are trapped in greed, anger, and foolishness, aren’t they? Humans are trapped in greed, anger, and foolishness.이걸 깰 수 있는 동기가 허경영이야The motivation to break this is Huh Kyung-young.이 안에서 가만히 있는 걸 뭐라 그래? 복이라 그래What do you call staying still inside? You call it blessings.복이 뭐로 변한다고 안 나오면은 죄로 변해버려요If you don’t come out, blessings turn into sin.

The Danger of Religion and the Path to Self-Realization
He strongly criticizes organized religion, claiming that religious followers are “the most feared by heaven” and that religions ultimately lead to conflict. He advocates for individuals to become their own “Jesus” or “Buddha,” emphasizing self-realization over adherence to dogma. This is a radical stance, positioning himself as a guide to a direct spiritual path, bypassing traditional religious institutions.

하늘에서 제일 무서워하는 자가 교인이야
The people most feared by heaven are religious followers.이 교인들이 하늘에서 제일 싫어하는 존재예요These religious followers are the most disliked beings in heaven.여러분 자체가 예수가 돼야 돼요You yourselves must become Jesus.여러분 자체가 부처가 돼야 돼You yourselves must become Buddha.종교는 모든 사람들에게 뭘 팔아먹어요? 복을 팔아What do religions sell to everyone? They sell blessings.이것을 파는 사람이 없어요There is no one selling this (virtue).

Controversial Political and Social Views

Unification with North Korea: A Recipe for Disaster
Huh Kyung-young expresses a highly controversial view on inter-Korean unification, arguing that unification with North Korea would lead to the collapse of South Korea. He cites the vast economic disparity (40:1 GDP ratio) and the potential for social problems, such as North Korean women becoming “second wives” to wealthy South Koreans. This perspective challenges the prevailing sentiment for unification and highlights his pragmatic, albeit harsh, assessment of the potential consequences.

우리나라는 절대, 북한과 통일을 하면 망하는 거예요
Our country will absolutely be ruined if we unify with North Korea.어떤 경우라도 북한과 통일을 하면 우리 나라는 그날 이후로 문 닫아Under no circumstances should we unify with North Korea; our country will close down from that day on.남한하고 북한이 40대 일이야South Korea and North Korea are at a 40-to-1 ratio.통일이 되면 북한에 있는 처녀들이 전부 남한에 있는 졸부들의 세컨드가 돼If unification happens, all the young women in North Korea will become second wives to the nouveau riche in South Korea.

Critique of Government and Education
He also criticizes the South Korean government’s policies, particularly the existence of the Ministry of Unification and the Ministry of Gender Equality, calling for their abolition. He proposes a radical reform of the education system, advocating for students to be tested on only one subject based on their interests, to reduce stress and foster genuine learning. These proposals reflect his desire for a more efficient, compassionate, and less bureaucratic society.

제일 먼저 통일부를 없애야 돼
First, we must abolish the Ministry of Unification.그 다음에 여성부 없애야 돼Next, we must abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality.수능시험이 없어져야 돼The Suneung exam must be abolished.한 과목만 시험 보고 열 과목 수업을 받더라도 시험은 한 과목만 보고 수능시험이 없어져야 돼Even if students take ten subjects, they should only be tested on one, and the college entrance exam should be abolished.

This lecture explains the difference between “복 (fortune)” and “덕 (virtue),” arguing that while fortune is what you receive for past good deeds, virtue is actively giving back. It emphasizes that pursuing only fortune can lead to negative outcomes, whereas virtue leads to true fulfillment and positive impact.

1. Understanding the World and the Path to Enlightenment
   The world we live in is called the Saba world (or Chaan), which is a difficult place filled with desires and suffering, and the goal is to move towards a better world like Paradise or Heaven.

1.1. The Nature of the Saba World

1. The Saba world is described as a place where people build “sandcastles on women,” meaning they are often driven by desires related to women, money, and fame.
2. This pursuit of desires leads to constant conflict and problems, often lasting a lifetime.
3. The term Saba world is also referred to as Chaan in Buddhism, which means a hell-like world.
4. The opposite of the Saba world (Chaan) is Paradise (Pian), which is also known as the Pure Land or Heaven.
5. He emphasizes the importance of thinking positively to move towards these better worlds.
6. He shares a personal story from the Vietnam War to illustrate the thin line between heaven and hell.
7. During his time in Vietnam, a bomb fell on an adjacent barbershop, killing eight people, while his barracks, protected by concrete, remained safe.
8. This event showed how a small difference in location could determine life or death, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the Saba world.

1.2. Hierarchy of Worlds and Concepts

1. He outlines a hierarchy of worlds and their opposites.

2. Chaan (hell-like world) is contrasted with Pian (paradise).

3. Hell is contrasted with Paradise.

4. The Saba world is contrasted with Heaven.

5. The Turbid World (O-tak-ak-se), which is our current impure world, is contrasted with Heaven.

6. The Truth of Fortune (Bok) and Virtue (Deok)
   Fortune is what one receives based on good deeds from past lives, but if only enjoyed, it can lead to negative outcomes; virtue, however, is actively giving back to others, which is a higher concept that leads to true fulfillment and positive impact.

2.1. Defining Fortune and Virtue

1. Fortune (Bok) is defined as the reward one receives for good deeds performed over three lifetimes (past, present, and future).
2. The current world we live in is called the Impure Land (Yeto), and to move to the Pure Land (Jeongto), one must accumulate fortune.
3. Virtue (Deok) is defined as actively giving to others, rather than just receiving.
4. If one only enjoys their fortune (e.g., living a comfortable life with a good spouse), they are essentially wasting it.
5. However, if one uses their fortune to help others, like Bill Gates helping the poor in Africa, that is considered building virtue.

2.2. The Hierarchy of Goodness

1. He presents a hierarchy of concepts: Evil < Good < Fortune < Virtue < Heaven.
2. Virtue is a higher concept than fortune; those who build virtue do not seek fortune.
3. Fortune, if merely enjoyed, often leads to negative consequences, such as illness or moral failings, effectively turning fortune into sin.
4. Fortune and sin are closely related, like cousins.

2.3. Public Virtue (Gongdeok) and Initial vs. Awakened Mind (Chosim vs. Balsim)

1. Public Virtue (Gongdeok) is when one shares their fortune with others, extending beyond their immediate family.

2. This act of giving back creates a positive impact on future generations.

3. There are different levels of virtue, with Public Virtue being a fundamental one that everyone should strive for.

4. Initial Mind (Chosim) is driven by the desire for fortune and personal gain, often rooted in greed.

5. People initially focus on accumulating wealth and receiving inheritances.

6. Awakened Mind (Balsim) is a higher state where one seeks to understand truth and actively builds virtue.

7. This is a crucial step towards enlightenment, representing a firm resolve to do good.

8. The Power of Wisdom, Virtue, and Destiny
   There is a clear hierarchy where human emotions are overcome by reason, reason by law, law by power, and power by heaven, emphasizing that true wisdom and virtue are superior to mere courage or intelligence, but ultimately, destiny (luck) plays a significant role.

3.1. Hierarchy of Influence

1. He outlines a hierarchy of influence: Human Emotion < Reason < Law < Power < Heaven.
2. Even if someone uses power to manipulate laws, Heaven ultimately intervenes, as seen in historical events like the overthrow of Syngman Rhee.
3. Similarly, Courage < Wisdom < Virtue.
4. A courageous person cannot defeat a wise person, just as evil cannot defeat good.
5. A wise person cannot defeat a virtuous person; for example, a brilliant strategist like Zhuge Liang could not overcome the virtue of Liu Bei.

3.2. The Role of Destiny (Luck)

1. Even above virtue is destiny or luck, which is influenced by one’s past life’s karma.

2. For instance, someone like Lee Jae-yong is born into wealth due to their past life’s fortune, which is a matter of destiny.

3. Even if someone has virtue in this life, if they lacked it in a past life, they might not experience good destiny.

4. Destiny can change; those who once held power through corruption may eventually face consequences when their luck runs out.

5. However, during their period of good luck, they may act with impunity, as Heaven allows a certain period for their actions.

6. The Path to Enlightenment: Asking, Listening, Acting, and Realizing
   The journey to enlightenment progresses from asking questions, to listening, to acting on what is learned, and finally to realizing the truth, with virtue being the ultimate goal that surpasses mere knowledge or action.

4.1. The Stages of Understanding

1. He outlines a progression of understanding: Asking < Listening < Acting < Realizing.
2. Simply asking questions is less effective than listening to answers.
3. Listening is less effective than acting on what is heard.
4. Acting is less effective than truly realizing or understanding.

4.2. Wisdom vs. Virtue in Action

1. Wisdom allows one to understand and apply knowledge, but it can be used for cunning purposes.

2. For example, a wise person might use what they hear to be clever, like Zhuge Liang.

3. Virtue is a higher concept than wisdom, as a virtuous person acts with compassion and selflessness, even if it means retreating from a winning battle to spare lives.

4. A virtuous leader, like Liu Bei, prioritizes the well-being of their subordinates over strategic victories.

5. Virtue is superior to mere strategic action or listening to advice.

6. The Cycle of Fortune, Sin, and Virtue
   Fortune can easily turn into sin if it is merely consumed for personal gain, whereas virtue creates a continuous cycle of positive outcomes, ultimately leading to love, which is the highest truth.

5.1. Fortune and Sin vs. Virtue and Fortune

1. Fortune can easily transform into sin if it is not used wisely or shared.
2. This means that simply receiving fortune without giving back can lead to negative consequences.
3. In contrast, virtue leads to fortune, and this fortune can then be used to create more virtue, forming a continuous positive cycle.
4. Therefore, one must carefully choose between using fortune for personal gain (leading to sin) or for the benefit of others (leading to virtue).

5.2. The Hierarchy of Truth: Falsehood to Love

1. He presents a hierarchy of truth: Falsehood < Fact < Truth < Love (which is Virtue).

2. Falsehood cannot overcome fact.

3. Fact cannot overcome truth.

4. Truth cannot overcome love, which is equated with virtue.

5. The Power of Love and the Importance of Awakened Mind (Balsim)
   A historical anecdote illustrates how an act of love (virtue) can transcend facts and truth to save a life, emphasizing that love is the highest principle, and achieving an awakened mind is like putting on special glasses that allow one to see the truth of the universe.

6.1. Love Transcends Fact and Truth

1. He recounts a 1930s American court case involving a woman named Lizzie, who was falsely accused of murder.
2. Despite overwhelming circumstantial evidence and her own inconsistent statements, which led the judge and jury to believe she was lying, she was innocent.
3. A famous public figure, who knew she was innocent but had no proof, lied in court, claiming Lizzie was with him at the time of the murder.
4. This act of love (the lie to save her life) was considered a higher truth than the facts of the case, leading to her acquittal and a new investigation.
5. This story demonstrates that love and sacrifice can override facts and even conventional truth.

6.2. The Divine Order in Nature

1. The natural world exhibits a divine order, as seen in the design of a tree seed.
2. A tiny seed contains all the DNA to determine the tree’s height, shape, and the direction of its roots and branches.
3. This intricate design, which scientists cannot replicate, is evidence of a creator.
4. The symbiotic relationship between trees and humans also points to a divine design.
5. Trees consume carbon dioxide exhaled by humans and produce oxygen, which humans breathe.
6. This reciprocal exchange is not accidental but a deliberate creation.
7. The beauty and order of nature are freely accessible, unlike man-made attractions that require payment, highlighting the generosity of the divine creator.

6.3. Awakened Mind (Balsim) as a Spiritual Lens

1. The term Balsim is a shortened form of a longer Buddhist phrase, Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta, which means the mind that seeks supreme perfect enlightenment.

2. This signifies a commitment to transcending the world and realizing all truths.

3. In Buddhism, a person who has achieved Balsim is called a Bodhisattva (Bosal), meaning someone dedicated to enlightenment and helping others.

4. In Christianity, similar roles include deacons, evangelists, and elders.

5. Balsim is like putting on special “glasses” that allow one to see the truth of the universe.

6. It represents a decision to pursue truth and is essential for spiritual growth.

7. Many people resist wearing these “glasses” due to their stubbornness and attachment to their own ways.

8. The Importance of “Joltak Dongsi” and Overcoming Selfishness
   The concept of Joltak Dongsi (simultaneous pecking from inside and outside an egg) illustrates that spiritual awakening requires both external guidance and internal effort, urging individuals to break free from the “egg” of selfish desires and embrace a collective consciousness.

7.1. The Coming Seed War and Genetic Manipulation

1. He warns of an impending seed war, where nations will compete for control over agricultural seeds.
2. Many countries, including Korea, have lost their native seed varieties and are dependent on foreign imports.
3. Western nations have genetically modified seeds to be resistant to pesticides and other environmental challenges, making them indispensable.
4. This control over seeds will become a powerful weapon in future food wars, potentially forcing nations to surrender if they lack access to essential crops.

7.2. The Principle of “Joltak Dongsi” (Simultaneous Pecking)

1. Joltak Dongsi describes the process where a chick pecks from inside its egg, and the mother hen pecks from the outside, allowing the chick to hatch.
2. This synchronized effort is crucial for the chick’s healthy development; if the mother is late, the chick may be weak.
3. Humans are metaphorically trapped in an “egg” of greed, anger, and foolishness (Tam-jin-chi).
4. These selfish desires prevent individuals from becoming one with the universe and humanity.
5. To achieve Joltak Dongsi, individuals must make an internal effort to break free from these desires, while external guidance (like His lectures) provides the “pecking from outside”.

7.3. Fortune vs. Virtue in the Context of “Joltak Dongsi”

1. Remaining passively within the “egg” of self-interest is akin to pursuing fortune.

2. If one does not break free, this fortune can turn into sin.

3. Actively breaking free and connecting with others is akin to practicing virtue, which involves sharing one’s fortune with others.

4. The Dangers of Organized Religion and the Path to Global Peace
   Organized religions, despite their claims, often lead to conflict and division, and Mr. Huh advocates for individuals to become their own spiritual leaders, emphasizing that true peace requires overcoming religious dogma and addressing global threats like nuclear war.

8.1. The Dangers of Organized Religion

1. He criticizes organized religions, stating that their followers are often the most feared by Heaven.
2. religious leaders often prioritize offerings and proselytizing, and their followers can become judgmental and divisive.
3. Historically, religious zealots have caused immense suffering, such as the persecution of Jesus by religious authorities and the burning of 500,000 people by the Catholic Church for differing beliefs.
4. He warns that religious conflicts, particularly involving nuclear weapons, pose a significant threat to global peace, citing the rise of groups like ISIS and the potential for nuclear war.
5. he has come to prevent such a global catastrophe, emphasizing that he does not promote any specific religion but rather encourages individuals to become their own spiritual leaders, like Jesus or Buddha.

8.2. His Role in Global Peace

1. He positions himself as the “boat” (Huh Kyung-young) that will guide people through the “sea of suffering” to a better world, without establishing a new religion or organization.

2. He claims to be an entity sent to help humanity, providing the external “pecking” for Joltak Dongsi.

3. 99.9% of people are still trapped in the “egg” of self-interest, but through the spread of his message via the internet and media, he aims to awaken them.

4. Political and Social Commentary: Unification, Education, and Leadership
   He critiques current political approaches to Korean unification, education, and leadership, advocating for a more cautious approach to unification, a radical overhaul of the education system, and leaders who prioritize the well-being of their citizens.

3. Scene-by-Scene Summary

1 (00:00:00) The Nature of the Saha World

• The world is referred to as the “Saha World” in Buddhism, meaning a world built on women, like a sandcastle on a woman.
• This implies that people strive for wealth and fame to impress women, with women being central to their efforts.
• The character for “woman” (女) in Korean characters often signifies negative meanings like “jealousy” or “speculation”.
• The Saha World is a place where people are busy trying to please women, neglecting self-improvement.
• This world is also called “Chan” in Buddhism, meaning a hell-like existence, in contrast to “Nirvana” (피안).
• The opposite of the Saha World is the “Pure Land” (극락세계), which people strive to reach.
• He advises thinking positively, even in difficult situations.

2 (00:03:21) Vietnam War Anecdote

• He recounts an experience in Vietnam where a B-52 bomber exploded next to his barracks, killing eight people in an adjacent barbershop.
• The ship journey to Vietnam was prolonged because the Soviets had laid mines, forcing a detour.
• The incident highlights the arbitrary nature of life and death, where a slight change in bomb trajectory determined who lived or died.
• This event illustrates the thin line between paradise and hell, even within a single building.
• The barracks were designed with concrete bulletproof partitions, protecting some soldiers from explosions, unlike the barbershop.
• This experience made Mr. Huh feel like he was constantly moving between paradise and hell, reflecting the nature of the Saha World.

3 (00:08:31) Concepts of Heaven, Hell, Blessings, and Virtues

• The opposite of hell is paradise, and the opposite of the Saha World is the Pure Land.
• The current world is described as “turbid” (탁세), and its opposite is Heaven.
• Blessings (복) are defined as the rewards received for actions performed over three lifetimes (past, present, future).
• virtue (덕) is defined as giving to others.
• The current world is a “dirty land” (예토), and to reach the “Pure Land” (정토), one must accumulate blessings.
• If one only enjoys their blessings without sharing, they are wasted and can turn into sin.
• Sharing one’s blessings with others, like Bill Gates helping the needy, is considered virtue.
• Those who build virtue do not seek blessings; virtue is a higher concept than blessings.
• The hierarchy is: evil cannot overcome good, good cannot overcome blessings, blessings cannot overcome virtue, and virtue cannot overcome Heaven.
• Blessings often lead to sin if not used virtuously, making them “third cousins” with sin.
• Giving one’s blessings to others is called “merit” (공덕).
• Merit benefits future generations and earns respect from others.
• There are different levels of virtue: merit, hidden virtue (음덕), and a higher, unnamed level.
• He emphasizes the importance of accumulating merit, even if higher forms of virtue are difficult.

4 (00:16:00) Beginner’s Mind (초심) and Awakening Mind (발심)

• Beginner’s mind (초심) is associated with seeking personal blessings and desires, often driven by greed.
• Awakening mind (발심) is the resolve to pursue truth and build virtue, often occurring after achieving material success.
• He presents a hierarchy of human qualities: emotion cannot overcome reason, reason cannot overcome law, law cannot overcome power, and power cannot overcome Heaven.
• This is illustrated by Syngman Rhee’s overthrow despite his power, showing that Heaven cannot be deceived.
• Another hierarchy is: courage cannot overcome wisdom, wisdom cannot overcome virtue, and virtue cannot overcome fate (운).
• Zhuge Liang, though wise, could not overcome Liu Bei, who possessed virtue.
• Fate, or past karma, is even more powerful than virtue, as seen in the example of Jeon Doo-hwan’s rise despite his actions.
• He emphasizes accepting one’s fate and past karma, as seen in the birth of Lee Jae-yong into a wealthy family.
• Fate can also lead to downfall, as those who abuse power eventually face consequences.

5 (00:22:50) The Path to Enlightenment and the Power of Nature

• He outlines a path: seeking knowledge (묻는 것) is better than material pursuits, listening (듣는 것) is better than seeking, and realizing (깨닫는 것) is better than acting.
• Wisdom (지혜) comes from understanding, but virtue (덕) is a higher concept.
• A wise person might use knowledge cunningly, but a virtuous person, like Liu Bei, acts with compassion, even retreating from victory to spare soldiers.
• virtue is superior to strategy and action.
• Blessings can lead to sin, but virtue leads to more blessings, creating a cycle of positive action.
• He introduces a hierarchy of truth: falsehood (가짜) cannot overcome fact (사실), fact cannot overcome truth (진실), and truth cannot overcome love (사랑), which is virtue.
• An anecdote from 1930s America illustrates this: a woman named Lizzie was falsely accused of murder, and despite factual evidence against her, a respected public figure lied to save her, demonstrating that love (virtue) can transcend facts.
• This act of sacrifice and love is considered a higher truth.
• blessings should not be flaunted but used to practice virtue, which will return in future lives.
• The Saha World is built on women, and women have the power to dismantle society, as seen in modern examples of public figures being ruined by accusations.
• He asks the audience to close their eyes and contemplate a tree seed, which contains all the DNA and instructions for growth, demonstrating the existence of a divine creator.
• Scientists cannot create a single seed, highlighting the complexity of nature and the presence of a divine designer.
• He claims to be able to change DNA, including that of trees and humans, to cure diseases.
• The symbiotic relationship between trees (consuming carbon dioxide, producing oxygen) and humans (consuming oxygen, producing carbon dioxide) is presented as evidence of divine design.
• The beauty of nature, which is freely accessible, is another proof of God’s existence and a source of happiness.

6 (00:39:00) The Concept of Bodhisattva and Seed Wars

• He introduces the Buddhist concept of “Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi” (발 안욕따라 삼약삼보리), which means attaining complete enlightenment.
• This long phrase is abbreviated to “Balshim” (발심), meaning the awakening mind, and also to “Bodhisattva” (보살), referring to someone who has made the vow to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings.
• In Christianity, similar roles are called deacon, evangelist, or elder.
• “Samyak-sambodhi” refers to the truth of the universe.
• Balshim is likened to a “seed” (종자) in the mind, representing the potential for enlightenment.
• He warns of impending “seed wars” (종자 전쟁), where powerful nations control global food supplies through genetically modified seeds.
• This control over seeds can be used as a weapon, as seen in the potential for North Korea to be unable to farm without foreign seeds.
• He uses an analogy of a king wanting to turn the world green, which a wise minister achieves by simply giving the king green glasses, symbolizing that “Balshim” is the “glasses” through which one perceives truth.
• People often cling to their old “glasses” (stubbornness and ego) instead of adopting the “glasses of truth”.

7 (00:48:00) The Principle of Simultaneous Hatching (졸탁동시)

• He introduces the concept of “Joltak Dongsi” (졸탁동시), meaning “simultaneous hatching,” where a chick pecks from inside the egg, and the mother hen pecks from outside at the same time.
• This symbolizes the need for both internal effort and external guidance for growth.
• Humans are often trapped in the “Saha World” by “greed, anger, and foolishness” (탐진치).
• This self-centeredness prevents unity with the universe.
• To achieve unity, one must break free from these attachments.
• He’s lectures are presented as the external “pecking” (동기 부여) to help people break free from their internal “eggs” of greed, anger, and foolishness.
• The internet and media serve as tools for this external guidance.
• Being content within the “egg” (Saha World) is considered “blessing” (복), which can turn into “sin” if not used to help others.
• “virtue” (덕) is giving one’s blessings to others.
• He uses a humorous analogy: an expectant mother smoking is “burning the baby” (애 태우는 마음), playing on the Korean phrase for “worrying”.
• his teachings transcend specific religions, aiming to guide people towards a “Pure Land” or “Heaven”.
• He claims to be a “Messiah” who has come to help humanity escape the cycle of suffering.

8 (00:55:00) Earth’s Cycles and the Role of Huh Kyung-young

• The Earth experiences ice ages approximately every 129,600 years, a cycle derived from 360 years multiplied by 360.
• This cycle represents the Earth’s rotation around the sun and its entry into a dormant, ice-covered state.
• During these periods, life is “frozen” and then “reborn” through meticulous design, indicating a divine creator.
• The Earth is a “biological training ground” where souls are educated over 129,600 years, with some graduating to higher realms and others “repeating” the cycle.
• He claims to be here to teach those who are stuck in this cycle.
• The “Saha World” offers no true happiness.
• To cross the “sea of suffering” (고해바다) from the Saha World to the Pure Land, one must board the “Huh Kyung-young ship”.
• traditional religions are “fake” and that he does not promote any specific religion or organization.
• He criticizes religious followers for being judgmental and causing conflict, leading to potential global nuclear wars, especially with the rise of Islamic nuclear powers.
• He claims to be here to prevent such a catastrophe.
• He encourages individuals to become their own “Jesus” or “Buddha”.
• 99.9% of humanity is still trapped in the “egg” of the Saha World.
• He plans to use the internet and television to awaken people globally.

9 (01:04:00) Political and Social Commentary

• He references Lee Myung-bak’s memoir, which includes a section about Kim Yoon-ok’s support for Huh Kyung-young’s policies, particularly his promise of financial aid for newlyweds.
• This inclusion in a former president’s memoir is presented as evidence of Huh Kyung-young’s widespread recognition and the public’s awareness of his policies.
• He discusses his nuclear disarmament proposal to President Bush, advocating for “irreversible, verifiable, and sufficient dismantlement” of nuclear weapons, which he believes North Korea would accept.
• He criticizes the US for allowing nuclear proliferation in Islamic countries, which he predicts will lead to a global religious nuclear war.
• He warns of the devastating consequences of nuclear war, including the destruction of cities and widespread radioactive contamination.
• He criticizes past political decisions, such as the Vietnam War withdrawal, which led to the country’s communist takeover.
• He argues against immediate reunification with North Korea, citing the vast economic disparity (40:1 GDP ratio) and potential for economic collapse and social problems in South Korea.
• He believes that reunification should be delayed until 2029, with Asian unification in 2025 and world unification in 2030.
• He criticizes the existence of the Ministry of Unification and the Ministry of Gender Equality, arguing they are unnecessary and counterproductive.
• He emphasizes the importance of “concession, communication, and benevolence” (양보, 소통, 박애) within families and society before attempting national unification.
• He criticizes public officials for lacking these qualities, citing the Sewol Ferry disaster as an example of poor communication and lack of immediate action.
• He advocates for educational reform, suggesting that students should only be tested on one subject they excel in, eliminating the current college entrance exam system.
• He believes that current political leaders are leading the country towards ruin.
• religious fervor often leads to conflict and separates families, contrasting it with his own approach.
• He claims to know North Korea’s intentions and is working to prevent future conflicts.
• He warns against seeking only “blessings” (복), as religions often “sell” blessings, while he promotes “virtue” (덕).
• He concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding the difference between blessings and virtue.
• He addresses a question about artificial incubation, noting that “Joltak Dongsi” applies to fertilized eggs requiring both internal and external pecking, while unfertilized eggs are mechanically hatched.
• He acknowledges that his ideas are often met with skepticism, but he believes that his message will eventually spread globally through media and his upcoming book.
• He compares his reception to that of Jesus, who was initially dismissed by his own community.
• He claims to have 200 million supporters worldwide and that his popularity is growing, as evidenced by recent polls.
• He concludes by reiterating the importance of “Joltak Dongsi” and the need for people to awaken to his truth.

the “Saba world” (사바세계) is metaphorically described as building a sandcastle on top of a __.

(woman, He uses the metaphor of building a sandcastle on a woman to illustrate the transient and often problematic nature of worldly pursuits, driven by desire and attachment to women, which he views as a source of suffering. A common misconception is that “Saba world” literally refers to a physical place, but it’s a Buddhist concept for the world of endurance and suffering.)

In the context of the lecture, “Bok” (복) refers to the rewards received from actions performed over three lifetimes (past, present, future). True or False?
(True, He defines “bok” as the consequence or reward received for all good deeds performed across three lifetimes (past, present, and future). A common misconception is that “bok” is simply good luck; however, the lecture emphasizes it as a direct result of one’s accumulated actions.)

“Deok” (덕) is a higher concept than “Bok” (복). True or False?
(True, He explicitly states that “deok” is a superior concept to “bok,” explaining that “bok” cannot overcome “deok.” This hierarchy is crucial to understanding His philosophy on spiritual advancement. A common misconception is that accumulating “bok” is the ultimate goal, but the lecture positions “deok” as a more selfless and elevated state.)

What is the term used in the lecture to describe the world we currently inhabit, characterized by impurity and defilement, in contrast to the “Pure Land” (정토)?
(Yeto (예토), He refers to our current world as “Yeto,” meaning a dirty or defiled land, which stands in contrast to the “Jeongto” or pure land. This term highlights His view of the earthly realm as imperfect and requiring spiritual effort to transcend. A common misconception is that “Yeto” is a specific geographical location, rather than a spiritual state of the world.)

what is the ultimate goal of human existence in relation to the “Saba world” and the “Pure Land”?
(To move from the Saba world to the pure land, the ultimate goal is to transition from the “Saba world” (world of suffering) to the “pure land” (극락세계 or 정토), and from “Cha-an” (this shore) to “Pi-an” (the other shore). This signifies a journey from suffering and impurity to bliss and purity. A common misconception is that these are physical destinations, rather than spiritual states or realms.)

He mentions that “Chosim” (초심) is often associated with what human characteristic?
(Greed or desire (탐욕), He explicitly links “Chosim” with “탐욕” (greed or desire), indicating that initial intentions are often driven by selfish desires for personal gain. A common misconception is that “Chosim” always refers to pure, original intentions, but here it’s framed as a starting point often tainted by worldly desires.)

Intermediate
Explain the difference between “Bok” (복) and “Deok” (덕) as described in the lecture, including how “Bok” can sometimes lead to “Jae” (죄).
(bok is receiving rewards for past good deeds, while deok is actively giving one’s accumulated bok to others. bok can turn into Jae (sin) if one only consumes it selfishly without sharing, leading to negative consequences like illness or moral failings. A common misconception is that bok is always positive; the lecture highlights its potential to become negative if not managed with deok.)

What is “Balsim” (발심) and how does it relate to “Chosim” (초심) in the lecture’s context?
(Balsim is the resolve to attain truth and enlightenment, representing a higher spiritual aspiration. It contrasts with Chosim, which is often driven by selfish desires for personal gain. Balsim signifies a shift from seeking personal “bok” to cultivating “deok” for the benefit of others. A common misconception is that Chosim and Balsim are interchangeable; the lecture presents Balsim as a more advanced, selfless stage.)

He introduces a hierarchy of concepts: “Ak” (악) < “Seon” (선) < “Bok” (복) < “Deok” (덕) < “Haneul” (하늘). Briefly explain what this hierarchy implies about human actions and spiritual progress.
(This hierarchy implies that each successive concept is superior and can overcome the one before it, culminating in “Haneul” (heaven/Divine). It suggests that good overcomes evil, blessings are better than good deeds, virtue is superior to blessings, and ultimately, virtue connects one to the divine. A common misconception is that accumulating “bok” is the highest achievement; the lecture clarifies that “deok” is a more advanced state leading to “Haneul.”)

What is the significance of the “seed” (종자) metaphor in the lecture, particularly in relation to “Balsim” and future global conflicts?
(The “seed” metaphor illustrates that “Balsim” is like planting a seed of truth in one’s heart, containing the potential for complete enlightenment. He also connects it to future “seed wars,” where control over genetically modified seeds will become a major global conflict, highlighting the importance of understanding fundamental origins and potential. A common misconception is that “seed” only refers to agricultural seeds; it also symbolizes inherent potential and origin.)

He uses the analogy of “Joltak Dongsi” (졸탁동시). Explain this concept and how it applies to human spiritual awakening.
(Joltak Dongsi describes the simultaneous pecking from inside and outside an egg for a chick to hatch properly. In spiritual terms, it means that while external guidance (like His lectures) provides the “peck from outside,” individuals must also make an internal effort (“peck from inside”) to break free from their “Tamjinchi” (greed, anger, ignorance) and connect with the universe. A common misconception is that spiritual awakening is solely an external process; the lecture emphasizes the necessity of internal effort.)

Advanced
The lecture discusses a sequence of understanding: “asking” (묻는 것) < “listening” (듣는 것) < “acting” (행하는 것) < “realizing/enlightening” (깨닫는 것). How does this sequence relate to the concepts of “wisdom” (지혜) and “virtue” (덕)?
(This sequence outlines a path to deeper understanding and spiritual growth. “Asking” and “listening” lead to “wisdom,” which is the intellectual grasp of truth. However, “acting” on this wisdom, especially with compassion and selflessness, cultivates “virtue” (덕). “Realizing/enlightening” is the highest stage, transcending mere wisdom to embody truth, which is inherently virtuous. He implies that wisdom without virtue can be manipulative (like Zhuge Liang), while virtue (like Liu Bei) encompasses a higher form of understanding. A common misconception is that knowledge alone is sufficient; the lecture stresses that applying knowledge virtuously is paramount.)

He presents a hierarchy of truth: “Geojit” (거짓) < “Sasil” (사실) < “Jinsil” (진실) < “Sarang” (사랑)/”Deok” (덕). Using the example of the American court case, explain how “Jinsil” can supersede “Sasil” and why “Sarang” (love) is equated with “Deok” (virtue) at the highest level.
(This hierarchy suggests that objective “facts” (Sasil) can be less important than a higher “truth” (Jinsil) driven by compassion. In the court case, a famous person’s “lie” (Geojit) to save an innocent woman was deemed “Jinsil” because it was an act of “Sarang” (love/sacrifice), which is equated with “deok.” This “Jinsil” transcended the “Sasil” of her fingerprints at the scene. The highest level, “Sarang” or “deok,” represents selfless action that prioritizes saving lives and embodying universal compassion, even if it means bending conventional truth. A common misconception is that truth is always strictly factual; the lecture argues for a higher, compassionate truth.)

He criticizes existing religions for promoting “Bok” and causing division, leading to potential future conflicts like “religious nuclear war.” What alternative path does Mr. Huh propose for humanity, and how does it align with the concepts of “Balsim” and “Deok”?
(He criticizes religions for focusing on “bok” (personal blessings) and creating divisions that could lead to global conflicts, including nuclear war. He proposes that individuals should become their own “buddha” or “jesus,” transcending organized religion. This aligns with “Balsim,” which is the personal resolve to seek truth and enlightenment, and “deok,” which involves selflessly giving one’s blessings to others. The alternative path is one of individual spiritual awakening and universal compassion, rather than adherence to dogmatic religious institutions. A common misconception is that spiritual growth requires religious affiliation; Mr. Huh advocates for a direct, personal path.)

The lecture argues against immediate reunification with North Korea, citing economic disparities and potential social issues. What are His main reasons for opposing early reunification, and what conditions does he suggest for a successful future unification?
(He opposes immediate reunification due to the vast economic disparity (40:1 GDP ratio) between South and North Korea, which he believes would lead to the collapse of the South Korean economy, massive unemployment (e.g., in shipping and shipbuilding), and social chaos (e.g., exploitation of North Korean women). He suggests that reunification should only occur when North Korea’s economy is much closer to South Korea’s (like Germany’s 3:1 ratio) and when North Korea actively “begs” for it, rather than South Korea pursuing it. He also emphasizes that internal “harmony” (화합) within South Korea (through “Yangbo,” “Sotong,” “Bak-ae”) must be achieved first. A common misconception is that reunification is always a positive goal; Mr. Huh highlights the practical dangers of premature unification.)

Speaker	Huh Kyung-young
Source	YouTube Video: 허경영 강연 962회 ‘초심과 발심의 진리복과 덕의 진리’ 20150207
Key Topics	The nature of the Saha world, the distinction between fortune and virtue, the importance of the awakened mind (Balsim), the concept of “Joltak Dongsi” (simultaneous pecking), the dangers of religious conflict, and the future of Korean unification and education.

Ⅱ. Meeting Discussion

• The Saha World and the Path to Paradise

  • The Saha World is described as a place of suffering, akin to hell, where people strive for worldly desires, often centered around women.
  • This world is contrasted with paradise, such as the Pure Land (Geungnak) or the other shore (Pian), which represents a state of bliss.
  • He emphasizes the need to move towards positive thinking and a better world.

• Distinction Between Fortune (Bok) and virtue (Deok)

  • Fortune (Bok): The consequence of good deeds accumulated over three lifetimes (past, present, future). However, simply enjoying fortune can lead to sin.
  • virtue (Deok): The act of giving back the fortune received to others, rather than consuming it oneself.
  • virtue is considered a higher concept than fortune, as fortune can lead to sin, while virtue leads to more fortune.
  • The hierarchy of good is presented as: Evil < Good < Fortune < Virtue < Heaven.

• The Importance of Awakened Mind (Balsim)

  • Initial Mind (Chosim): Often driven by selfish desires and greed, seeking personal fortune.
  • Awakened Mind (Balsim): A resolution to pursue truth and engage in good deeds, akin to building virtue.
  • Balsim is crucial for transcending worldly desires and achieving enlightenment.
  • In Buddhism, “Balsim” is an abbreviation of a longer phrase (Bal Anokttara Samnyaksambodhi Salta) and is associated with the concept of a Bodhisattva, one who seeks enlightenment for the benefit of all beings.

• The Order of Truth and Love

  • A hierarchy of truth is presented: Falsehood < Fact < Truth < Love (Virtue).
  • An anecdote is shared about a famous person who lied in court to save an innocent woman, demonstrating that “truth” (Jinsil) can sometimes transcend “fact” (Sasil) when motivated by love and sacrifice. This act of love is equated with virtue.

• The Concept of “Joltak Dongsi” (Simultaneous Pecking)

  • This refers to the synchronized pecking of a chick from inside its egg and the mother hen from outside, allowing the chick to hatch.
  • It symbolizes the need for both internal effort and external guidance for spiritual awakening.
  • Humanity is seen as trapped in the “Saha World” by greed, anger, and foolishness (탐진치 – Tamjinchi).
  • He positions his lectures as the external “pecking” (Joltak Donggi) to help people break free from their self-imposed limitations and achieve unity with the universe.

• Critique of Religion and the Coming Global Crisis

  • traditional religions (Christianity, Buddhism, Islam) are often “fake” and are the primary cause of global conflict.
  • He criticizes religious followers for their self-righteousness and for judging others, leading to division and war.
  • A warning is issued about an impending nuclear war, particularly involving Islamic nations, which Mr. Huh claims to be working to prevent.
  • He advocates for individuals to become their own “Jesus” or “Buddha” rather than adhering to organized religion.

• Korean Unification and Education Policy

  • He strongly advises against immediate unification with North Korea, citing the vast economic disparity (40:1 GDP ratio) and the potential for economic collapse in the South.
  • He suggests that unification should only be considered when North Korea actively seeks it and when the South’s economic strength is significantly higher.
  • He criticizes the existence of the Ministry of Unification and the Ministry of Gender Equality, arguing they are unnecessary and counterproductive.
  • He proposes a radical education reform where students focus on a single subject for their entire secondary education, with university admission based on cumulative scores in that subject. This aims to reduce academic pressure and foster individual talents.

Ⅲ. Action Items

• Attendees are encouraged to reflect on the distinction between fortune and virtue and strive to cultivate an “awakened mind” (Balsim).
• Individuals should critically evaluate the role of organized religion in their lives and consider becoming their own spiritual guides.
• Citizens are urged to prioritize national unity through “concession, communication, and sharing” (Yangbo, Sotong, Bak-ae) within society before pursuing external unification.
• He’s book, which is expected to be released in one to two months, is recommended for further understanding of his philosophy.

Learning Points

• This lesson explains the concepts of “초심 (initial intention)” and “발심 (awakening mind)”.
• It differentiates between “복 (blessings)” and “덕 (virtue)”, emphasizing that virtue is a higher concept than blessings.
• The lecture also discusses the nature of the “사바세계 (Saha World)” and the path to “극락세계 (Sukhavati)”.
• It touches upon the importance of “졸탁동시 (simultaneous pecking)” in personal growth and spiritual awakening.
• He also shares views on Korean reunification and the dangers of religious conflicts.

Patterns & Grammar

1. 복 (Blessings) vs. 덕 (Virtue)

• Pattern: 복은 (받는 것), 덕은 (주는 것)
• Explanation: 복 (blessings) refers to what one receives based on actions from past, present, and future lives. 덕 (virtue) is about giving or bestowing upon others the blessings one receives. virtue is considered a higher concept than blessings.
• Example: 복을 누리면 죄가 될 수 있지만, 덕을 베풀면 복이 된다. (Enjoying blessings can lead to sin, but practicing virtue leads to more blessings.)

2. 초심 (Initial Intention) vs. 발심 (Awakening Mind)

• Pattern: 초심은 (욕심/탐욕), 발심은 (진리를 깨닫는 것/결심)
• Explanation: 초심 (initial intention) is often driven by desire and greed. 발심 (awakening mind) signifies a resolve to realize truth and engage in good deeds.

Report on the Philosophy of Bok (Blessings) and Deok (Virtue) for Societal Advancement

Core Claim: Prioritizing deok (virtue) over bok (Blessings) is essential for individual and societal progress, fostering a transition from a self-serving “Saba World” to a harmonious “Paradise” through collective action and enlightened leadership.

1. The Imperative of Shifting from Bok to Deok
   Core Sentence: Societal advancement hinges on individuals and leaders prioritizing deok (virtue), which involves selfless giving, over bok (blessings), which often leads to self-serving accumulation and ultimately, negative consequences.

• Bok represents the rewards received from past good deeds, often leading to self-indulgence and potential negative outcomes if not managed virtuously.
• Deok is the act of giving back one’s blessings to others, a higher concept that transcends individual gain and fosters collective good.
• The pursuit of Bok alone can lead to a “Saba World” (a world of suffering and attachment), while Deok paves the way to “Paradise” or “Pure Land”.
• Leaders must embody Deok to guide society towards collective well-being, as exemplified by historical figures who prioritized virtue over personal gain.

2. Understanding the Hierarchical Order of Values
   Core Sentence: A clear hierarchy of values, from evil to heaven, demonstrates that deok is a superior concept to bok, and its cultivation is crucial for overcoming lower-level challenges.

• Evil is overcome by Good, Good by Bok, and Bok by Deok.
• Deok is the only quality that can reach Heaven, signifying its ultimate importance in spiritual and societal progress.
• This hierarchy implies that simply accumulating Bok without practicing Deok can lead to its transformation into sin.
• The concept of GongDeok (public virtue) further elevates Deok, emphasizing its positive impact on future generations and the community.

3. The Journey from “Saba World” to “Paradise”
   Core Sentence: The transition from the “Saba World” of suffering and attachment to a “Paradise” of enlightenment requires a fundamental shift in mindset, moving from Chosim (initial desire for blessings) to Balsim (resolve for virtuous action).

• The “Saba World” is characterized by attachment to worldly desires, often symbolized by “building sandcastles on women” (pursuing superficial gains).
• Chosim represents the initial human desire for personal Bok, often driven by greed and ambition.
• Balsim signifies a profound resolve to pursue Deok and truth, moving beyond self-interest to contribute to the greater good.
• This transformation is akin to “Joltak Dongsi” (simultaneous pecking), where internal awakening (Balsim) is met with external guidance, breaking free from the “egg” of self-centeredness.

4. The Role of Leadership in Fostering Deok
   Core Sentence: Effective leadership is crucial for guiding society away from self-serving pursuits and towards the collective cultivation of deok, particularly in navigating complex global challenges like nuclear proliferation and national unity.

Concept	Description	Impact on Society
Chosim (Initial Desire)	Focus on personal gain, often leading to conflict and division.	Hinders national unity and global cooperation.
Balsim (Virtuous Resolve)	Commitment to selfless action and truth, fostering collective well-being.	Essential for resolving complex issues and achieving true peace.
Joltak Dongsi (Simultaneous Pecking)	Internal awakening combined with external guidance, leading to transformation.	Enables individuals and nations to break free from destructive patterns.
Deok-centered Governance	Policies and leadership that prioritize the well-being of all citizens and global harmony.	Promotes sustainable development, peace, and genuine progress.

• Leaders must inspire Balsim in their constituents, encouraging them to transcend individual desires for the benefit of the nation and the world.
• Current political approaches, such as ill-conceived unification strategies or departmental structures (e.g., Ministry of Unification, Ministry of Gender Equality), often hinder genuine progress by failing to address fundamental issues of Deok and societal harmony.
• True national unity and global peace require a focus on internal societal harmony (e.g., family unity, communication, empathy) before external unification efforts.
• He advocates for a leadership that prioritizes the well-being of all, even suggesting radical educational reforms to foster individual talent and reduce societal pressure, thereby promoting a more Deok-centric society.

The Saha World and the Illusion of Desire
Huh Kyung young explains that the world, referred to as the “Saha World” in Buddhism, is a realm where life and death intertwine. He metaphorically describes it as “building a sandcastle on a woman,” implying that much of human endeavor, such as earning money or seeking fame, is driven by the desire to impress women. This pursuit is likened to constructing something inherently unstable, like a sandcastle on shifting sands. He notes that in many Chinese characters, the radical for “woman” (女) often appears in words associated with negative concepts like jealousy or speculation, suggesting a historical perception of women as catalysts for worldly troubles. People are preoccupied with these desires, neglecting spiritual study, and often find themselves entangled in marital disputes throughout their lives. This constant struggle is what defines the Saha World, which is also referred to as “Chaan” in Buddhism, signifying a hell-like existence.

From Chaan to Nirvana: The Path to Enlightenment
The opposite of the Saha World (Chaan) is Nirvana (Pian), which is also known as the Pure Land or Sukhavati. the goal is to move from the Saha World to Sukhavati, and from Chaan to Pian. This transition requires a shift in perspective, always thinking positively, even in the face of adversity.

Personal Anecdote: War and the Proximity of Heaven and Hell
Huh Kyung young recounts a vivid experience from his time in Vietnam, illustrating the thin line between life and death, and by extension, between heaven and hell. He describes a journey by sea to Vietnam, prolonged by Soviet mines, and a harrowing incident upon his arrival. While staying in a barracks, a B-52 bomb struck an adjacent barbershop where soldiers were getting haircuts, killing eight people instantly. The proximity of the explosion to his own quarters, separated only by a thin wall, highlighted how a slight shift in the bomb’s trajectory determined who lived and who died. He notes that his barracks had concrete partitions for protection, unlike the barbershop, which was an open space. This experience made him realize how close heaven and hell can be, a concept he relates to the Saha World.

The Hierarchy of Existence: Hell, Paradise, and Heaven
Huh Kyung young further elaborates on the spiritual hierarchy, stating that the opposite of hell is paradise, and the opposite of the Saha World is Sukhavati. He introduces the concept of “Takse,” or the “turbid world,” which is our current reality, characterized by “five turbidities and evil ages” (O-tak-ak-se). The opposite of this turbid world is heaven.

Understanding Blessings (Bok) and Virtues (Deok)
Huh Kyung young defines “blessings” (Bok) as the karmic rewards received for good deeds performed across three lifetimes: past, present, and future. In contrast, “virtue” (Deok) is about giving or bestowing. He explains that our current world is a “dirty land” (Yeto), and to reach the “pure land” (Jeongto), one must accumulate blessings. However, merely receiving and enjoying blessings, such as a comfortable life with a good spouse, can lead to their depletion. True virtue, exemplified by figures like Bill Gates, involves using one’s blessings to help others, such as aiding the starving in Africa or supporting education and healthcare for the needy.

The Spiritual Hierarchy: From Evil to Heaven
Huh Kyung young outlines a spiritual hierarchy:

• Evil cannot overcome good.
• Good cannot overcome blessings.
• Blessings cannot overcome virtue.
• Virtue cannot overcome Heaven.
  virtue is a higher concept than blessings. While blessings can often lead to sin if merely consumed for personal gain (e.g., indulging in pleasures that lead to illness or infidelity), virtue transforms blessings into something greater. Blessings, if not shared, can become a source of sin.

The Concept of Gongdeok (Merit) and Its Impact
When one shares their blessings with others, it becomes “Gongdeok” (merit). This act of giving back to others, rather than hoarding blessings, is crucial. Gongdeok has a positive impact on future generations. Huh Kyung young notes that there are different levels of virtue, with Gongdeok being a fundamental one that everyone should strive for, even if higher forms like Eumdeok (hidden virtue) are difficult to achieve.

Initial Mind (Chosim) vs. Awakened Mind (Balsim)
Huh Kyung young distinguishes between “Chosim” (initial mind) and “Balsim” (awakened mind). Chosim is driven by selfish desires, such as seeking personal well-being and wealth, often through inheritance. It is rooted in greed and avarice. Balsim, on the other hand, emerges when one has achieved material success and then seeks to understand truth and dedicate oneself to good deeds. It is a resolution to act virtuously. Both Buddhism and Christianity emphasize the importance of Chosim, but Balsim, which can be equated with “determination,” is equally vital.

The Unseen Power of Heaven and the Limits of Human Wisdom
Huh Kyung young presents another hierarchy:

• Human emotion cannot overcome reason.
• Reason cannot overcome law.
• Law cannot overcome power.
• Power cannot overcome Heaven.
  He cites the example of Syngman Rhee, who, despite allegedly rigging elections and controlling power, was ultimately overthrown by Heaven (the will of the people). He further illustrates this with the idea that courage cannot overcome wisdom, and wisdom cannot overcome virtue. A wise general (Jijang) can defeat a brave general (Yongjang), but even a wise general cannot defeat a virtuous general (Deokjang). He uses the analogy of Zhuge Liang, a brilliant strategist, who, despite his wisdom, could not surpass Liu Bei’s virtue.

The Role of Fate (Un) and Past Karma (Jeonsaeng Eopbo)
Beyond virtue, Huh Kyung young introduces the concept of “Un” (fate or luck) and “Jeonsaeng Eopbo” (past karma). He suggests that even a virtuous person might be overcome by someone with greater “Un,” implying a predetermined aspect to life’s outcomes. He uses the example of Lee Jae-yong, born into wealth, as someone with significant past karma and luck. those who accumulate virtue in past lives are born with good fortune in the present. However, even those with great luck can lose it if they act unjustly, eventually facing consequences.

The Path to Enlightenment: Asking, Listening, Acting, and Realizing
Huh Kyung young outlines a progressive path to enlightenment:

1. Asking (Mun): Seeking knowledge and truth.
2. Listening (Deuk): Actively absorbing what is heard.
3. Acting (Haeng): Applying knowledge and wisdom.
4. Realizing (Gak): Achieving profound understanding and enlightenment.

He explains that merely asking and listening can lead to wisdom, but true wisdom is surpassed by virtue. He reiterates the example of Zhuge Liang, who possessed great wisdom but lacked Liu Bei’s virtue, which allowed Liu Bei to prioritize the well-being of his soldiers over strategic victories. This act of compassion, even when it meant retreating from a winnable battle, demonstrates true virtue.

The Transformation of Blessings into Virtue
blessings (Bok) can easily turn into sin (Jae) if not managed properly. However, virtue (Deok) transforms into blessings, and blessings can then be used to cultivate more virtue, creating a positive cycle. The critical choice lies in whether one allows blessings to lead to sin or to virtue.

The Hierarchy of Truth: Falsehood, Fact, Truth, and Love (Virtue)
Huh Kyung young presents another hierarchy, moving from superficiality to ultimate truth:

• Falsehood (Ga) cannot overcome Fact (Sil).
• Fact cannot overcome Truth (Jin).
• Truth cannot overcome Love (Sarang), which is synonymous with Virtue (Deok).
  He illustrates this with a famous American anecdote from the 1930s involving a woman named Lizzie accused of murder. Despite circumstantial evidence and her perceived dishonesty, she was innocent. A highly respected public figure, knowing she was innocent but lacking proof, lied in court, claiming Lizzie was with him at the time of the murder. This lie, told out of love and a desire to save a life, was considered a “truth” that transcended mere facts. This act of sacrifice, driven by love, saved Lizzie’s life, demonstrating that love (virtue) is the highest form of truth.

The Importance of Virtue Over Blessings
people should not boast about their blessings (e.g., a good spouse or children). Instead, they should conceal their blessings and practice virtue. By giving to others, blessings return in future lives, perpetuating a cycle of positive karma. He urges listeners to move away from a world solely focused on acquiring blessings and towards a world that cultivates virtue.

The Power of Women and the Fragility of Worldly Achievements
Huh Kyung young returns to his initial metaphor of building a sandcastle on a woman, highlighting the immense power women hold to both build and destroy. He notes that even highly accomplished individuals, like a Seoul National University professor, can have their careers and lives ruined by a single misstep involving a woman. He suggests that women possess the power to dismantle worldly achievements, underscoring the precariousness of human endeavors driven by desire.

The Divine Design in Nature: The Seed and DNA
Huh Kyung young invites the audience to contemplate a tree seed, smaller than a fingernail, yet containing the complete DNA blueprint for a massive tree. This intricate design, dictating which parts become roots and which become branches, is presented as irrefutable evidence of a divine creator. no scientist can replicate a single seed or grain of rice, highlighting the miraculous complexity of nature. He claims to possess the ability to manipulate DNA, changing cells and even substances like milk at will. He points to the symbiotic relationship between trees and humans—trees consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, while humans consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide—as further proof of a meticulously designed universe.

The Cost of Experience and the Free Gift of Nature
Huh Kyung young contrasts the monetary cost of human-made experiences (like entering a theater or an amusement park) with the free access to the beauty of nature. if one had to pay to observe the natural world, people would walk with their eyes closed. The ability to freely appreciate the intricate design of a tree or a landscape is a profound blessing, a testament to the divine creator.

The Meaning of “Bal Anoktara Samyak Sambodhi” and “Bodhisattva”
Huh Kyung young introduces the Buddhist phrase “Bal Anoktara Samyak Sambodhi,” which he explains as the “awakened mind” (Balsim) to transcend the world and realize all truths. this lengthy phrase is abbreviated to “Balsim.” He further connects this concept to “Bodhisattva” (Bosal), explaining that a Bodhisattva is someone who has achieved Balsim, dedicating their life to the complete realization of truth. In Christianity, similar figures might be called deacons, evangelists, or elders.

The Seed of Truth and the Coming Seed War
Huh Kyung young equates Balsim with a “seed” (Jongja) of truth. He warns of an impending “seed war” where nations like the United States have monopolized seed banks, leaving countries like Korea dependent on foreign seeds for agriculture. He notes that genetically modified seeds, resistant to pesticides, are becoming indispensable, creating a global crisis. He predicts that control over seeds will become a powerful weapon, potentially leading to food wars and forcing nations like North Korea to surrender if denied access to essential seeds.

The Green Glasses of Truth
Huh Kyung young shares a parable of a king who wanted his kingdom to be entirely green. While others proposed costly and time-consuming solutions, a wise minister simply gave the king green-tinted glasses. The king, upon wearing them, saw everything in green and was delighted. Huh Kyung young uses this to illustrate that “Bal Anoktara Samyak Sambodhi” (Balsim) is like wearing “glasses of truth.” It’s about changing one’s perspective to perceive truth, rather than trying to change the entire world. He urges people to adopt this “truth-lens” instead of clinging to their stubborn beliefs.

The Principle of Jol-Tak-Dong-Si (Simultaneous Hatching)
Huh Kyung young introduces the concept of “Jol-Tak-Dong-Si,” which describes the simultaneous pecking of a chick from inside an egg and the mother hen from outside, allowing the chick to hatch. both internal and external efforts are necessary for a successful outcome. He applies this to humanity, stating that humans are trapped in the “Saha World” by “greed, anger, and foolishness” (Tam-Jin-Chi). This self-centeredness, characterized by “my things,” “my children,” prevents humanity from uniting with the universe. To break free from this confinement, one must shatter the “Tam-Jin-Chi” barrier.

Huh Kyung young as the Catalyst for Awakening
Huh Kyung young positions himself as the external force in “Jol-Tak-Dong-Si,” providing the “motivation” (Donggi) for humanity to awaken from its confinement. He criticizes those who remain complacent within their “Tam-Jin-Chi,” likening them to silkworms content in their cocoons. He sees his lectures, disseminated through platforms like YouTube, as the “camera” that provides this external stimulus, urging people to break free and unite with the universe. He contrasts this “awakening” (Deok) with merely staying comfortable within one’s blessings (Bok), which can lead to sin. He defines virtue as returning one’s blessings to others.

The Age of Ice and Earth’s Cycles
Huh Kyung young discusses the Earth’s cycles, noting that ice ages occur approximately every 129,600 years. This figure, derived from multiplying 360 by 360, represents the Earth’s complete rotation around the sun in a 360-degree cycle. He explains that during these periods, the Earth enters a dormant state, freezing and then gradually thawing, allowing life to re-emerge through meticulous design. He views Earth as a “biological training ground” where souls are educated over this 129,600-year period. Those who fail to learn are “relegated” and must repeat the cycle.

The “Huh Kyung young Ship” Across the Sea of Suffering
Huh Kyung young states that there is no true “paradise” in the Saha World. To cross the “sea of suffering” (Gohae Bada) from this world to the next, one needs a “ship.” He identifies this ship as “Huh Kyung young,” asserting that he is the one who has come to transport people across this sea.

The Problem with Organized Religion and the Coming Religious War
Huh Kyung young criticizes organized religions, stating that “religious people” (Gyoin) are the ones most disliked by Heaven. religious leaders often prioritize offerings and proselytizing, and that fervent believers can become judgmental and divisive. He predicts that religious conflicts, particularly between Islam and other faiths, will escalate, leading to a global nuclear war. He points to the rise of ISIS and its brutal tactics, reminiscent of historical religious persecutions, as a precursor to this. He claims to have come to Earth to prevent this impending catastrophe.

Beyond Religion: Becoming Your Own Buddha or Christ
he does not promote any religion, nor does he accept offerings. Instead, he encourages individuals to become their own “Buddha” or “Christ.” calling upon “Huh Kyung young” is the means to navigate the sea of suffering, as he is a figure beyond conventional religion, sent to help humanity.

The Danger of Complacency and the Power of the Internet
Huh Kyung young states that 99.9% of humanity remains trapped within the “egg” of complacency. He believes that with the advent of the internet, he can reach and transform the entire world, a change he foresees happening soon.

Endorsement from a Former First Lady
Huh Kyung young shares an anecdote from former First Lady Kim Yoon-ok’s memoir, where she expresses her intention to support Huh Kyung young’s presidential campaign if her husband, former President Lee Myung-bak, donated all his assets. She cited Huh Kyung young’s promise to provide substantial financial support to newlyweds as a reason. This inclusion in a presidential memoir, despite its unconventional nature, is presented by Huh Kyung young as evidence of his growing influence and the public’s awareness of his policies. He suggests that the former First Lady’s “pure side” led her to include this, hoping to appeal to younger generations who support him.

Huh Kyung young’s Nuclear Disarmament Proposal
Huh Kyung young recounts a conversation with former U.S. President George W. Bush, where he proposed a different approach to North Korea’s nuclear program. While the U.S. advocated for “complete, verifiable, and permanent” denuclearization, Huh Kyung young suggested “sufficiently, verifiably, and irreversibly” dismantling (not eliminating) nuclear facilities. He believes his approach would be more acceptable to North Korea, allowing them to use nuclear power for peaceful purposes while preventing weaponization. He criticizes the U.S. for tacitly allowing other nations (Iran, Pakistan, India, Israel) to possess nuclear weapons, which he fears will lead to the proliferation of nuclear technology to Islamic countries and ultimately a global religious nuclear war.

The Threat of Nuclear Terrorism and the Need for Global Leadership
Huh Kyung young warns of the catastrophic consequences of nuclear terrorism, such as a single nuclear bomb in Seoul or radioactive contamination of the Han River, rendering the city uninhabitable. He emphasizes the urgent need for him to become President of South Korea and achieve world unification to prevent such disasters. He laments that his past warnings about social issues, like the need for financial incentives for marriage and childbirth, were dismissed, leading to current societal problems.

The Flawed Concept of Korean Unification
Huh Kyung young strongly opposes immediate unification with North Korea, citing the disastrous outcome of Vietnam’s unification after the withdrawal of U.S. and South Korean forces. He recounts his personal experience of the rapid communist takeover of Vietnam after the peace talks. unification with North Korea, given the vast economic disparity (a 40:1 GDP ratio), would lead to the collapse of both economies, particularly devastating South Korea’s shipping and shipbuilding industries. He also warns against connecting railways to Russia and Europe, as it would undermine these vital industries.

The Importance of Internal Harmony Before External Unification
Huh Kyung young asserts that South Korea should prioritize internal unification—harmonizing families, parents, and children—before attempting to unify with North Korea. He criticizes the current government’s focus on unification, calling it “nonsense” given the lack of internal cohesion. He warns that immediate unification would lead to social chaos, with wealthy South Koreans exploiting North Korean women. He advocates for delaying unification until North Korea actively seeks it, and only then considering it within the context of Asian and world unification. He also calls for the abolition of the Ministry of Unification and the Ministry of Gender Equality, arguing that they are unnecessary and create misunderstandings.

Educational Reform and the Path to a Better Future
Huh Kyung young proposes radical educational reform: students should only be tested on one subject of their choice throughout middle and high school, eliminating the college entrance exam (Suneung). This would allow students to pursue their passions, reduce academic pressure, and foster better family relationships. He criticizes the current system for creating rebellious children and hindering communication within families. He believes that South Korea is currently moving in the wrong direction, and that its political leaders lack the vision to guide the nation.

The Dangers of Religious Dogma and the Call to Personal Enlightenment
the pursuit of blessings (Bok) through organized religion ultimately leads to conflict and suffering. religions often separate families, pulling individuals away from their loved ones on weekends, thereby eroding familial bonds. He encourages people to listen to his teachings and call upon him, as he offers a path to enlightenment that transcends religious dogma. he does not sell blessings but rather teaches the distinction between blessings and virtue.

The Misconception of Natural Incubation and the “Burning Heart”
Huh Kyung young clarifies his “Jol-Tak-Dong-Si” analogy, explaining that it refers to fertilized eggs requiring both internal and external pecking for healthy hatching. He contrasts this with unfertilized eggs, which are mechanically incubated without the need for a mother hen. He then shares a humorous riddle: “What do you call a pregnant woman smoking?” The answer is “burning her child’s heart” (애 태우는 마음), a play on words in Korean, implying anxiety and harm to the unborn child.

The Challenge of Spreading Truth and the Power of “Noise Marketing”
Huh Kyung young acknowledges the difficulty of convincing people about his teachings, especially those entrenched in conventional thinking. He compares this to how Jesus and Buddha were initially perceived by their contemporaries. He believes that his upcoming book and appearances on public television will help disseminate his message. He views the skepticism and criticism he receives as “noise marketing,” which paradoxically generates interest and encourages people to investigate his claims. He notes that his supporters span the globe, including highly educated individuals, and number around 200 million worldwide. He also mentions a Central Ilbo poll where he was ranked among the most desired people to meet at Christmas.

The Importance of Time and Self-Reflection
Huh Kyung young concludes by emphasizing that understanding his teachings requires time and self-reflection. He reiterates the principle of “Jol-Tak-Dong-Si,” urging individuals to engage in both internal and external efforts to achieve enlightenment.

Lecture Information

• Lecture Number/Title: 962 The Truth of Initial and Awakened Mind: The Truth of Blessings and Virtue
• Date: February 7, 2015
• Main Topic: Understanding the concepts of “Initial Mind” (초심) and “Awakened Mind” (발심), and the distinction between “Blessings” (복) and “Virtue” (덕) in the context of transcending the Saha world (사바세계) to reach the Pure Land (정토) or Heaven (천국).

Core Messages

• The Saha world (사바세계) is a realm of suffering, akin to hell, from which one must strive to reach the Pure Land (피안) or Heaven (천국).
• Blessings (복) are the rewards for good deeds accumulated over three lifetimes (past, present, future), but if merely enjoyed, they can easily turn into sin (죄).
• Virtue (덕) is a higher concept than blessings, involving the act of sharing one’s blessings with others, which then generates more blessings in a continuous cycle.
• The Awakened Mind (발심) represents a commitment to truth and is essential for transcending the Saha world, akin to wearing “truth glasses” to perceive reality.
• The concept of Joltakdongsi (졸탁동시), where a chick pecks from inside the egg and the mother hen pecks from outside simultaneously, illustrates the need for both internal effort and external guidance to break free from the confines of the Saha world and its associated greed, anger, and foolishness.

Summary of Key Contents

The Nature of the Saha World (사바세계)

• The Saha world is described as a place where people build “sandcastles on women” (여자 위에 모래성), symbolizing the pursuit of wealth and honor to impress women.
  • This pursuit is seen as a source of conflict and suffering, leading to lifelong struggles and arguments.
  • The term “Saha” (사바) is associated with negative connotations in various Chinese characters involving the radical for “woman” (女), such as adultery (간음), jealousy (투기), and envy (질투).
• It is also referred to as “this shore” (차안), a hell-like existence, in contrast to the “other shore” (피안), which is the Pure Land (극락세계).
• The world is characterized as “turbid” (탁세) or “five turbidities and evil world” (오탁악세), contrasting with Heaven (천국).
• The current world is considered a “filthy land” (예토), which must be transformed into a “pure land” (정토) through the accumulation of blessings.
• The power of women is highlighted as capable of collapsing society if excessive “sandcastles” are built upon them, yet also signifying their inherent strength.

The Distinction Between Blessings (복) and Virtue (덕)

• Blessings (복):
  • Defined as the karmic reward for all good deeds performed across three lifetimes (past, present, future).
  • Merely enjoying blessings, such as living a comfortable life with a good spouse, can lead to their depletion and transformation into sin (죄).
  • Blessings are considered a lower concept than virtue.
• Virtue (덕):
  • Involves sharing one’s blessings with others, rather than simply receiving and consuming them.
  • Examples include using one’s wealth to help the poor, educate children, or cure the sick, similar to figures like Bill Gates.
  • Those who accumulate virtue do not seek blessings for themselves.
  • Virtue is a higher concept than blessings, and blessings cannot overcome virtue.
  • Public Virtue (공덕): Giving to others what one has received.
  • Grace (은덕): A higher form of virtue.
  • Benevolence (언덕): The highest form of virtue.
  • Virtue creates a continuous cycle of blessings, while blessings, if not shared, can lead to sin.

Hierarchical Order of Values

• A clear hierarchy exists among various concepts:
  • Evil (악) cannot overcome Good (선).
  • Good (선) cannot overcome Blessings (복).
  • Blessings (복) cannot overcome Virtue (덕).
  • Virtue (덕) cannot overcome Heaven (하늘).
• This hierarchy also applies to human qualities:
  • Courage (용기) cannot overcome Wisdom (지혜).
  • Wisdom (지혜) cannot overcome Virtue (덕).
  • A wise general (지장) can defeat a brave general (용장), but even a wise general cannot defeat a virtuous general (덕장).
  • Falsehood (가) cannot overcome Fact (실).
  • Fact (실) cannot overcome Truth (진실).
  • Truth (진실) cannot overcome Love (사랑), which is equated with Virtue (덕).

The Importance of the Awakened Mind (발심)

• Initial Mind (초심): Often driven by greed and desire for personal blessings.
• Awakened Mind (발심): A commitment to seeking truth and acting virtuously, transcending selfish desires.
  • It is a shortened form of a long Buddhist phrase, “발아뇩다라삼먁삼보리살타심” (Bal Anok Dala Samnyak Sambori Salta Shim), which signifies the resolve to attain supreme perfect enlightenment.
  • Those who have achieved an Awakened Mind are called Bodhisattvas (보살) in Buddhism, or deacons, evangelists, and elders in Christianity.
  • It is likened to wearing “truth glasses” (진리안경) to perceive the world correctly.

The Concept of Joltakdongsi (졸탁동시)

• This refers to the simultaneous pecking of a chick from inside an egg and the mother hen from outside, allowing the chick to hatch.
• It symbolizes the need for both internal effort (the chick’s pecking) and external guidance (the mother hen’s pecking) for spiritual awakening.
• Humanity is trapped in the “Saha world” (사바세계) by greed, anger, and foolishness (탐진치).
• Huh Kyung-young’s lectures are presented as the external “pecking” (동기 부여) to help people break free from these confines and unite with the universe.
• Remaining within the egg (the Saha world) is likened to merely seeking blessings, which can turn into sin. Breaking out is an act of virtue.

The Divine Design of the Universe

• The intricate design of a tiny pine seed, containing all the DNA to grow into a large tree, is presented as evidence of a creator.
• The symbiotic relationship between humans (exhaling carbon dioxide) and trees (exhaling oxygen) is cited as proof of a divine, intentional design, not a random occurrence.
• The Earth is described as a “biological training ground” (생체 교육장) where souls receive education over cycles of 129,600 years, corresponding to the Earth’s rotation around the sun.
• All living beings are created through meticulous design.

Key Policies and Proposals

• Unification of Korea:
  • Unification with North Korea should be delayed, ideally until 2029, with Asian unification by 2025 and world unification by 2030.
  • Current proposals for immediate unification are deemed dangerous due to the 40:1 GDP disparity between South and North Korea, which would lead to mutual collapse.
  • Connecting railways to Russia or Europe would devastate South Korea’s shipping and shipbuilding industries, leading to mass unemployment.
  • The focus should be on internal unification within South Korea, starting with families.
• Government Restructuring:
  • Abolish the Ministry of Unification (통일부) to avoid misinterpretations of South Korea’s intentions and to prevent premature, ill-advised unification efforts.
  • Abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family (여성부), as it implies women are disabled, and integrate its functions into existing ministries like Health and Welfare.
• Education Reform:
  • Eliminate the national college entrance exam (수능시험).
  • Students should take exams in only one subject they excel in throughout middle and high school, with their cumulative scores determining university admission.
  • This would reduce private tutoring costs and allow students more time for family and personal development.

Philosophical and Cosmic Insights

• Karma and Destiny (운): One’s destiny (운) or past karma (전생업보) is a powerful force, even surpassing virtue.
  • Individuals are born into different circumstances (e.g., as the son of a wealthy family) due to past blessings.
  • Even those with great virtue can be overcome by destiny.
• The Cycle of Earth: The Earth undergoes cycles of 129,600 years, during which ice ages occur, sterilizing and resetting life.
  • This cycle is derived from 360 years multiplied by 360, representing the Earth’s 360-degree rotation around the sun.
  • Humanity is part of this grand design, undergoing a “biological education” on Earth.
• The Role of Religion: Traditional religions are criticized for causing division and conflict, ultimately leading to global warfare.
  • They are seen as selling “blessings” rather than promoting “virtue.”
  • Huh Kyung-young advocates for individuals to become their own “Buddha” or “Jesus” rather than adhering to organized religion.
  • He positions himself as the “boat” (허경영) to cross the “sea of suffering” (고해의 바다), transcending religious boundaries.

Critique of Reality and Alternatives

• Religious Conflict: Organized religions are identified as a primary cause of future global nuclear wars, particularly between Islam and Catholicism.
  • The failure of global powers to disarm nuclear weapons in countries like North Korea, Iran, and Pakistan is criticized, as it allows for the proliferation of nuclear technology to extremist groups.
• Political Incompetence: Current politicians are criticized for their focus on abstract concepts like “unification” and “constitutional reform” while neglecting pressing domestic issues such as public welfare, education, and family unity.
  • The lack of “yielding, communication, and benevolence” (양보, 소통, 박애) among citizens and leaders is highlighted as a fundamental problem.
  • The example of the Sewol Ferry disaster is used to illustrate the lack of immediate, empathetic leadership.
• Economic Mismanagement: Unification with North Korea would lead to the collapse of South Korea’s shipbuilding and shipping industries, creating massive unemployment.
  • Proposals to connect railways to Russia are deemed economically unsound.
• Social Disconnect: Religions are criticized for separating families on weekends, hindering communication between parents and children.
  • The current education system fosters rebellion in children and disconnects them from their parents.

Practical Implications

• Individuals should strive to cultivate virtue by sharing their blessings rather than merely accumulating them.
• Embrace the Awakened Mind (발심) by committing to truth and wearing “truth glasses” to see the world clearly.
• Actively work to break free from the “Saha world” of greed, anger, and foolishness, both internally and with external guidance.
• Prioritize internal societal unity and welfare over premature external unification efforts.
• Challenge conventional thinking and question established systems, including religious and political institutions.
• Listen to Huh Kyung-young’s teachings as a guide to transcend suffering and achieve a higher state of being.

One-Sentence Core Summary
Huh Kyung-young’s lecture systematically dissects the path from the suffering Saha world to the Pure Land, emphasizing that true spiritual progress comes from cultivating virtue by sharing blessings, rather than merely accumulating them, and embracing an Awakened Mind through a commitment to truth, ultimately transcending the confines of greed, anger, and foolishness to achieve cosmic unity and address societal ills.

Meeting Minutes: The Truth of Initial and Awakened Mind: The Truth of Blessings and Virtue by Huh Kyung-young – February 7, 2015

Ⅰ. Meeting Overview

Category	Details
Date	February 7, 2015
Title	The Truth of Initial and Awakened Mind: The Truth of Blessings and Virtue by Huh Kyung-young
Speaker	Huh Kyung-young
Key Topics	The concepts of “Saba World” (this world) and “Geungnak World” (paradise), the definitions of blessings (복) and virtue (덕), the importance of “Balshim” (awakened mind), and the current state of society and future predictions.

Ⅱ. Meeting Discussion

• Understanding the World (Saba World vs. Geungnak World)

  • He defines the “Saba World” (사바세계) as a world built on women, symbolizing the pursuit of wealth and honor to impress women, leading to lifelong struggles and conflict.
  • This world is also referred to as “Chaan” (차안), a hell-like existence.
  • The opposite of the Saba World is the “Geungnak World” (극락세계), or “Pian” (피안), which is paradise.
  • The goal is to move from the Saba World to the Geungnak World, from Chaan to Pian.
  • He shares a personal anecdote from the Vietnam War, illustrating the thin line between heaven and hell, emphasizing that one’s destination depends on where they enter.
  • The opposite of hell is paradise, and the opposite of the “turbid world” (탁세) is heaven. The current world is described as “Otakaksae” (오탁악세), a turbid and evil world.

• The Truth of Blessings (복) and Virtue (덕)

  • Blessings (복): Defined as the karmic reward for good deeds performed across three lifetimes (past, present, future). However, merely receiving and enjoying blessings, such as a comfortable life with a good spouse, can lead to their depletion and even turn into sin.
  • Virtue (덕): Defined as giving away the blessings one receives to others. Accumulating virtue means not seeking blessings for oneself.
  • Hierarchy of Goodness: There is a hierarchy: evil cannot overcome good, good cannot overcome blessings, blessings cannot overcome virtue, and virtue cannot overcome heaven.
  • Public Virtue (공덕) and Grace (은덕): Giving virtue to others is called “Gongdeok” (공덕). Above Gongdeok is “Eundeok” (은덕), and even higher is “Eondeok” (언덕). He emphasizes the importance of accumulating Gongdeok.
  • Blessings vs. Virtue in Practice: Blessings often lead to sin (e.g., lifestyle diseases, infidelity), while virtue leads to more blessings.

• Initial Mind (초심) and Awakened Mind (발심)

  • Initial Mind (초심): Close to blessings, driven by the desire for personal well-being and material gain (greed, covetousness).
  • Awakened Mind (발심): A decision or resolve to do good and realize the truth. It is about transcending the initial desire for personal gain and dedicating oneself to a higher purpose.
  • He explains that “Balshim” is a shortened form of a long Buddhist phrase, “Bal Anok Dara Samnyak Sambori Salta Shim” (발 안 욕 다 라 삼 약 삼 보 오 리 살 타 심), which means transcending the world and realizing all truths. This phrase is also related to the term “Bodhisattva” (보살).
  • Balshim is likened to wearing “truth glasses” to perceive the world differently.

• The Order of Truth and Love

  • Falsehood (가) cannot overcome fact (실).
  • Fact cannot overcome truth (진실).
  • Truth cannot overcome love (사랑).
  • Love is virtue.
  • He illustrates this with a story of a famous person who lied in court to save an innocent woman, demonstrating that a “lie” motivated by love can be considered a higher truth.

• Joltakdongsi (졸탁동시) and Breaking Free

  • “Joltakdongsi” refers to the simultaneous pecking from inside and outside an egg for a chick to hatch properly.
  • Humans are trapped in the “Saba World” by “Tamjinchi” (탐진치) – greed, anger, and foolishness.
  • This “my-ness” (내 것) prevents unity with the universe and humanity.
  • He’s lectures are presented as the external “pecking” (동기 부여) to help people break free from this shell. Remaining inside the shell is akin to pursuing only blessings, which can turn into sin.

• Nature’s Design and the Creator

  • The intricate design of a tiny tree seed, containing all the DNA for a large tree, is presented as evidence of a divine creator.
  • The symbiotic relationship between humans (exhaling carbon dioxide) and trees (exhaling oxygen) is another example of this divine design.
  • The beauty of nature, freely available for observation, is a blessing that people often take for granted.

• Future Predictions and Societal Issues

  • Seed Wars: He predicts future “seed wars” where nations will control essential crop seeds, leading to food crises.
  • Nuclear War: He warns of an impending religious nuclear war, particularly involving Islamic nations, and criticizes the US’s handling of nuclear proliferation.
  • Korean Unification: He strongly advises against immediate unification with North Korea, citing the vast economic disparity (40:1 GNP ratio) and potential for economic collapse and social problems (e.g., North Korean women becoming “second wives” for wealthy South Koreans). He suggests that unification should only be considered when North Korea earnestly seeks it and when South Korea has achieved internal unity.
  • Critique of Government and Education: He criticizes the existence of the Ministry of Unification and the Ministry of Gender Equality, advocating for their abolition to save taxes and avoid misunderstandings. He also proposes a radical education reform where students focus on one subject for six years, taking only one exam, to reduce stress and foster communication within families.
  • Critique of Religion: religious organizations, by focusing on selling “blessings” and separating families, contribute to societal problems and future conflicts. “Messiahs” like himself come to guide people beyond religious dogma.

• Personal Role and Message

  • He positions himself as a “Messiah” who has come to awaken humanity and prevent global catastrophes.
  • his teachings are meant to help people transcend the current “Saba World” and move towards a higher state.
  • He encourages people to listen to his words and call his name to navigate the “sea of suffering” (고해).

Ⅲ. Action Items

• Attendees: Reflect on the distinction between blessings (복) and virtue (덕) and strive to cultivate virtue by giving to others.
• Attendees: Consider the concept of “Balshim” (awakened mind) and the importance of seeking truth beyond personal desires.
• Attendees: Engage in self-reflection to identify and overcome “Tamjinchi” (greed, anger, foolishness) to achieve unity with the universe.
• Attendees: Share His teachings with others to encourage a collective awakening.

The Truth of Initial and Awakened Mind: Blessings and Virtue

1. The Mundane World and the Path to Enlightenment
   The world we inhabit is referred to in Buddhism as the Saba World (사바세계). This term metaphorically describes a realm where individuals construct sandcastles upon a woman. This imagery signifies that many human endeavors, such as accumulating wealth or seeking honor, are often driven by a desire to impress or gain favor from women. Thus, the world becomes a place where one builds a fragile sandcastle on an unstable foundation, rather than on solid ground. The character for ‘Ba’ (婆) in Saba (사바) can be interpreted as ‘wave’ (파도 파), suggesting that these sandcastles are built amidst turbulent waves. This perspective implies that the presence of the female character in various Hanja often denotes negative connotations, such as in words related to adultery, jealousy, or envy. Consequently, the Saba World is depicted as a realm where people are preoccupied with these transient pursuits.

Individuals in this world often prioritize material gain over spiritual cultivation. This preoccupation with wealth and worldly desires frequently leads to lifelong conflicts, particularly within marital relationships. This continuous struggle and suffering characterize the Saba World. In Buddhist philosophy, this realm is also known as the This Shore (차안) , which is likened to a hellish existence. Conversely, the opposite of This Shore is the Other Shore (피안) , representing a state of liberation. The antithesis of the Saba World is the Pure Land (극락세계) , a realm of ultimate bliss. The ultimate goal is to transcend the Saba World and This Shore to reach the Pure Land and the Other Shore. This journey requires a shift in perspective, always striving to perceive things positively, even amidst adversity.

2. The Hierarchy of Virtue and the Nature of Blessings
   In the spiritual hierarchy, the opposite of hell is Paradise (낙원) , and the opposite of the Saba World is the Pure Land. Furthermore, the opposite of the Turbid World (탁세) , which is our current impure existence, is Heaven (천국). This Turbid World is also known as the Five Turbidities and Evil Age (오탁악세). To transition from this impure land, referred to as the Defiled Land (예토) , to the Pure Land (정토) , one must cultivate Blessings (복).

Blessings are defined as the karmic retribution received for all good deeds performed across three lifetimes: past, present, and future. However, Virtue (덕) holds a higher position than blessings. While blessings are received for one’s good actions, virtue involves actively giving (주는 것) those blessings to others. For instance, if one accumulates many blessings in past and present lives and enjoys a comfortable life, they might inadvertently deplete their blessings. In contrast, someone who uses their blessings to help others, like Bill Gates, by aiding the hungry, uneducated, or sick in Africa, is cultivating virtue. Those who build virtue do not seek blessings for themselves.

There is a clear distinction between blessings and virtue. Virtue is a superior concept to blessings. Just as evil cannot overcome good, blessings cannot overcome virtue. This establishes a spiritual hierarchy: evil is subordinate to good, good to blessings, and blessings to virtue. Ultimately, virtue is subordinate to Heaven (하늘). When one cultivates virtue, their actions are acknowledged by Heaven. Merely receiving blessings, however, can often lead to negative consequences, transforming into sins (죄). For example, a life of excessive indulgence can lead to illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure, or even moral transgressions. Thus, blessings, if not managed wisely, can easily become sins.

3. The Cultivation of Virtue and the Path to Awakening
   The concept of merit (공덕) arises when one shares their blessings with others. This act of giving is represented by the character ‘Gong’ (공), meaning ‘to bestow’ or ‘to spread’. When virtue is bestowed upon others, it becomes merit. Such merit can positively influence future generations; for example, if an ancestor built a bridge for the community, their descendants would be respected. Above merit is grace (은덕) , and even higher is benevolence (언덕). Thus, virtue itself has a hierarchical structure. Even if one cannot achieve the highest forms of virtue, cultivating merit is essential.

The Initial Mind (초심) is closely associated with blessings, representing the initial human desire for a comfortable and prosperous life. People often initially focus on receiving blessings. However, when individuals achieve great wealth, like Bill Gates, they may experience an Awakened Mind (발심). The Awakened Mind signifies a commitment to good deeds and the cultivation of virtue. While the Initial Mind is driven by desire and greed , the Awakened Mind represents a realization of truth. This awakening is crucial. The Awakened Mind is akin to a firm resolve (결심) to do good.

The sequence of human values progresses from human sentiment (인정) to reason (이치), then to law (법), power (권력), and finally to Heaven (하늘). No human element can overcome the one above it. For instance, courage cannot overcome wisdom , and wisdom cannot overcome virtue. A wise general (지장) might defeat a brave general (용장) , but even the wisest cannot overcome a virtuous general (덕장). Zhuge Liang (제갈공명), despite his immense wisdom, could not surpass Liu Bei (유현덕) because he lacked virtue. Virtue always occupies a higher position. Even more significant than virtue is past karma (전생업보) or fate (운). This implies that one’s destiny is influenced by actions in previous lives.

4. The Interplay of Blessings, Sins, and the Path to Truth
   The concept of fate (운) is also linked to Heaven. Even if individuals commit wrongdoings, they may continue to prosper as long as Heaven permits. However, when their fate runs out, they face consequences. This highlights that there is a designated period for everything.

The pursuit of material possessions is less significant than seeking truth. Asking questions is superior to merely seeking, and listening is superior to merely asking. While knowledge gained through questioning and listening can be used for manipulation, true wisdom is always accompanied by virtue. A virtuous person, like Liu Bei, might choose to retreat even when victory is possible, prioritizing the well-being of their soldiers. This demonstrates profound love for subordinates.

Blessings, if not handled properly, can transform into sins. However, virtue, when cultivated, continuously generates blessings. This creates a cycle where virtue leads to blessings, and blessings can be converted back into virtue. The critical choice lies in whether one’s blessings lead to virtue or to sin.

There is a hierarchy of truth: falsehood (가) cannot overcome fact (실) , and fact cannot overcome truth (진실). Ultimately, truth cannot overcome love (사랑). This love is synonymous with virtue. This natural order is profoundly significant. A historical anecdote from 1930s America illustrates this: a woman named Rich was falsely accused of murder. Despite evidence like her fingerprints at the scene, which she left while trying to help the victim , she was condemned. The court, swayed by circumstantial evidence and public opinion, believed her to be guilty. She was sentenced to death.

5. The Power of Love and the Essence of Truth
   In a dramatic turn, a highly respected public figure appeared in court and falsely testified that the woman was with him at the time of the murder. His immense reputation led the judge to immediately order her release, overriding all evidence. This testimony, though a lie, was an act of love to save a life. Later, the real culprit was apprehended. This incident highlights that such a “lie” spoken out of love to save a life is considered truth (진실). It transcends mere facts and aligns more closely with Heaven. Thus, truth, in this context, is superior to fact, and it is driven by love and sacrifice.

This natural order dictates that a brave general cannot defeat a wise general, a wise general cannot defeat a virtuous general, and a virtuous general cannot defeat fate. Similarly, blessings cannot overcome virtue. Therefore, one should not boast about their blessings but rather conceal them and practice virtue. This ensures that blessings return in future lives, creating a continuous cycle of virtue and blessings. The pursuit of blessings alone, characteristic of the Initial Mind, is insufficient.

The Saba World is metaphorically built upon women, implying that excessive focus on women can lead to instability. However, this also signifies the immense power women hold to influence the world.

6. Divine Design and the Seed of Awakening
   Reflecting on a tree seed, no human engineer can replicate its intricate design. A tiny pine seed, smaller than a fingernail, contains DNA that predetermines its entire structure, from its height to its shape. It even dictates that root DNA grows downwards and stem DNA grows upwards. This precise design within a seed is evidence of a divine creator. No scientist can create a single seed, a sesame seed, or a grain of rice. This intricate DNA, which Huh Kyung-young claims to be able to alter at will, reflects the cosmic order.

The seed also embodies the universe’s ecological balance: trees provide oxygen for humans and consume the carbon dioxide exhaled by humans. This reciprocal relationship, where trees produce oxygen and humans produce carbon dioxide, is a testament to divine creation, not mere chance. This natural principle, where plants consume animal and human carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, is a profound example of the universe’s intelligent design.

The beauty of nature, from a single seed to a tree, is a free spectacle for humanity. If one had to pay to observe such wonders, they would have to walk with their eyes closed. The intricate forms and processes in nature, such as branches growing upwards and roots downwards, are all evidence of a divine creator.

7. The Profound Meaning of Awakened Mind and the Seed War
   In Buddhism, there is a unified world that combines the concepts of the Saba World, Pure Land, and Heaven. This unified world is represented by a long phrase, Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (발아뇩다라삼먁삼보리살타심). This lengthy term, meaning “the mind of supreme, perfect enlightenment,” is abbreviated to Awakened Mind (발심). The Awakened Mind signifies transcending this world and realizing all truths.

Another abbreviation of this long phrase is Bodhisattva (보살). A Bodhisattva is someone who has cultivated the Awakened Mind, not merely the Initial Mind. In Christianity, individuals who embody such a spirit are referred to as deacons, evangelists, or elders. The phrase Samyak-sambodhi (삼먁삼보리) refers to the truth of the universe, and the Awakened Mind is a resolution to follow this truth.

The Awakened Mind is also likened to a seed (종자). Just as a seed contains the blueprint for a mighty tree, the Awakened Mind contains the potential for profound spiritual growth. The future of humanity faces a seed war (종자 전쟁). Many nations, particularly the United States, monopolize seed resources. Korea, having lost its own seed stock, must import seeds for agriculture. This mismanagement of seeds has left the nation vulnerable. Western nations have genetically modified seeds to resist pesticides, creating genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This reliance on GMOs poses a significant future crisis, leading to food wars where seeds become a primary weapon. Without access to seeds, countries like North Korea would be unable to farm, forcing them to surrender. Seeds are becoming a powerful weapon.

8. The Green Spectacles of Truth and the Synchronized Hatching of Enlightenment
   An emperor once desired to transform the entire world green. While other officials deemed it impossible, one minister achieved it in an hour. He simply provided the emperor with green spectacles (녹색 안경). When the emperor wore them, everything appeared green, bringing him joy. This analogy illustrates that the Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (발아뇩다라삼먁삼보리살타심) is the “spectacles of truth” that one must wear to approach truth. Many resist wearing these spectacles, clinging to their stubborn beliefs. However, changing one’s “spectacles” is essential.

The concept of synchronized hatching (졸탁동시) describes how a chick pecks from inside the egg, and the mother hen pecks from outside, allowing the chick to hatch. If the chick does not peck from within, synchronized hatching cannot occur. This process must be perfectly synchronized for a healthy chick to emerge.

Humans, however, are often trapped in the Saba World , confined by the three poisons (탐진치): greed, anger, and ignorance. These three poisons, especially when combined, prevent individuals from achieving synchronized hatching. The “time” (때 시) for awakening is crucial. When individuals are trapped by “my possessions” (내 것) – my things, my spouse, my children – they cannot unite with the universe and its 7 billion people. To achieve virtue, one must break free from these attachments.

9. Breaking Free from the Egg and the Perils of Religious Division
   He sees his lectures as providing the motivation (동기) for people to break free from their confinement, like a chick struggling to emerge from an egg. Many, however, remain comfortable within their “egg” of greed, anger, and ignorance, refusing to come out. He urges humanity to emerge from this state, as the world is trying to cultivate truly human beings, yet none are breaking free. His lectures, disseminated through platforms like YouTube, serve as the external pecking, providing the motivation for this synchronized hatching. When people realize the impurity of their confined state and break free, they can unite with the universe. This unity is another way of describing virtue (덕). Remaining comfortably within the egg is akin to merely seeking blessings (복). If one does not emerge, these blessings can turn into sins (죄). Virtue, therefore, is about receiving blessings and then redirecting them to others.

He humorously asks what an expectant mother smoking is called, revealing the answer: “burning the child’s heart” (애 태우는 마음), implying harm to the unborn child. This metaphor underscores the idea that clinging to blessings can lead to harm, just as sin leads to death or disability.

He acknowledges that some people, like the questioner’s daughter, might view his teachings as strange. He compares this to how Jesus and Buddha were perceived in their time. He anticipates that his books and public lectures on major television networks will eventually reach a wider audience, revealing the “secrets to overcoming recession”. He views initial skepticism as a form of “noise marketing,” which ultimately draws people to his message. He notes that historically, those who followed figures like Jesus were often uneducated, while the learned dismissed them. Jesus himself was rejected in his hometown.

10. The Global Threat of Religious Conflict and the Call for Unity
    He claims to have a global following of 200 million people, far surpassing traditional religious organizations. He also mentions a Central Ilbo poll where he was ranked among the most desired people to meet at Christmas.

religious institutions, whether Christian, Buddhist, or Islamic, are ultimately feared by Heaven. devout followers, not “mad dogs,” were responsible for Jesus’s crucifixion. He criticizes how religious zealots often judge others, leading to conflict and division. He warns that religious conflicts will escalate, with Islamic nations potentially acquiring nuclear weapons and launching attacks on cities like New York, leading to global nuclear war. This would result in widespread death and destruction, rendering the Earth uninhabitable due to nuclear fallout. the Fukushima nuclear disaster is insignificant compared to the scale of a global nuclear war.

He attributes future world wars to Islamic religions. he does not promote any religion but merely explains their principles, advocating that individuals should become their own “Jesus” or “Buddha”. the Buddhist concept of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (발아뇩다라삼먁삼보리살타심) is the necessary mindset to cross the sea of suffering, but for those beyond religion, simply calling upon Huh Kyung-young will suffice. He presents himself as a helper who has come to assist humanity, not to establish a religion or collect donations. He believes he has come to facilitate synchronized hatching.

11. The Impending Global Transformation and the Dangers of Unification
    99.9% of humanity remains trapped within their “eggs”. He believes that with the advent of the internet, he will transform humanity globally through online and television broadcasts. He references a memoir by former President Lee Myung-bak, which includes a section about his wife, Kim Yoon-ok, expressing support for Huh Kyung-young’s policies. This inclusion, despite the book’s otherwise serious content, suggests that the former First Lady and those in power were aware of Huh Kyung-young’s popularity. He interprets this as evidence of widespread public awareness and support for his proposals.

He recounts a conversation where Kim Yoon-ok expressed her intention to support Huh Kyung-young because his policies promised financial aid for newlyweds, which would help her sons marry, especially if her husband donated his assets. This anecdote, included in a presidential memoir, highlights the public’s interest in his policies. He views this as a form of media exposure for his agenda.

He discusses his approach to nuclear disarmament, which he presented to former US President Bush. While the US proposed “completely, verifiably, and permanently eliminate” North Korea’s plutonium project , he argues that the US has allowed nuclear programs in North Korea, Iran, and Pakistan to persist, leading to the proliferation of nuclear technology to Islamic countries. He proposes a different approach: “fully, verifiably, and irreversibly dismantle” nuclear programs. This approach, he believes, would be acceptable to North Korea, allowing them to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes while preventing weaponization. He warns that the current US policy of tolerating nuclear weapons in certain countries will inevitably lead to a global religious nuclear war. He draws parallels between the actions of ISIS and historical religious persecutions, such as the burning of 500,000 people by the Catholic Church. such religious conflicts, fueled by interpretations of scriptures, are unsustainable.

12. The Urgent Need for Global Leadership and Internal Unity
    He warns that a single nuclear bomb on Seoul could eliminate 30 million people due to its dense population. A small amount of radioactive material in a water source could render it unusable for centuries. He stresses the urgent need for him to become President of South Korea and achieve world unification to prevent such catastrophes. He recalls how his past proposals, like giving 100 million won for marriage and 30 million won for childbirth, were dismissed as insane but would have led to a population of 80 million and a per capita income of 80,000 dollars, making Korea the world’s number one nation.

He recounts the withdrawal of US and South Korean troops from Vietnam after peace talks, which led to the rapid communist takeover of South Vietnam. He was on the last flight out, which almost failed to take off due to excessive cargo. This experience leads him to assert that unification with North Korea would be disastrous for South Korea. unification should be delayed as long as possible, ideally until 2029 for Korean unification, 2025 for Asian unification, and 2030 for world unification. He criticizes the idea of unifying with a communist state, citing the economic disparity between West and East Germany (3:1 GDP ratio). The current GDP ratio between South and North Korea is 40:1. Unification under these conditions would lead to the collapse of both economies, particularly South Korea’s shipbuilding and shipping industries, resulting in millions of unemployed. Connecting railways to Russia or Europe would further devastate these industries.

13. The Flawed Path to Unification and the Importance of Education
    the idea of bringing Siberian gas by train is unrealistic and economically unsound. a 40:1 GDP disparity makes unification unprecedented and unsustainable. Even in Germany, West Germans resent paying higher taxes due to East Germany’s economic struggles. He criticizes the current government’s focus on unification and constitutional amendments without addressing the pressing issues of public welfare. internal unity, starting with families, is more urgent. He warns that immediate unification would lead to North Korean women becoming secondary partners for wealthy South Korean men, exploiting the vulnerable. He therefore urges against using the term “unification” carelessly.

He claims to be the world’s foremost expert on unification and nuclear issues, surpassing even national defense committee members. the three elements of unification—integration, convergence, and harmony—are currently meaningless. Integration involves alliance, combination, and aggregation of territory. Convergence includes mixing, dissolving, and fermentation. Harmony comprises concession, communication, and benevolence. He laments the lack of concession, communication, and benevolence among South Koreans, even within families. He suggests that national education, with his lectures broadcast on national television, is necessary to teach the principles of unification. He claims no other professor in Korea analyzes these principles.

14. Reforming Education and Dismantling Divisive Ministries
    He emphasizes the importance of mutual concession, communication, and benevolence. He criticizes the President’s failure to immediately respond to the Sewol Ferry disaster by flying to the scene and directing rescue efforts. This lack of communication and benevolence among public officials is a significant problem. He advocates for the abolition of the Ministry of Unification, arguing that no other divided nation has such a ministry. Its existence creates misunderstanding, suggesting an intent to absorb North Korea. He also calls for the abolition of the Ministry of Gender Equality, stating that men and women are equal, and such a ministry is unnecessary. Gender and disability issues can be handled within existing ministries like the Ministry of Health and Welfare. These ministries waste taxpayer money. the Ministry of Unification actually hinders unification, just as creating a “marriage ministry” would scare away potential partners. Unification should arise naturally from positive interactions, not forced preconditions. He suggests that South Korea should continuously assert its unwillingness to unify with a poor North Korea, prompting North Korea to seek unification on South Korea’s terms. His ultimate goal is unification with North Korea only within the context of Asian and world unification, not as a standalone event. He expresses shame over the current government’s approach to unification.

He also proposes radical education reform: students should only be tested on one subject, even if they attend classes for ten. This would eliminate the college entrance exam (Suneung). Students could then focus on one subject for six years, with their total score determining university admission. This would reduce private tutoring costs and foster better parent-child communication. He notes that current policies lead to children rebelling against parents, indicating a lack of communication and benevolence. He believes Korea is heading in the wrong direction.

15. The Illusion of Blessings and the True Path to Happiness
    the current world, including the Defiled Land, Turbid World, Hell, This Shore, and Saba World, is a realm where people primarily pursue blessings (복). However, he argues that excessive religious devotion, whether in temples or churches, ultimately leads to world wars. He criticizes religions for separating families, taking parents and children away from home on weekends, thereby preventing meaningful family time. This separation, he claims, has led to the decline of religion in Europe. He urges people to listen to his words and call upon him, as he has come to prevent these dangers. religions sell “blessings” but not “virtue”. People are constantly praying for blessings, which he equates to the pursuit of the Initial Mind. He emphasizes the crucial difference between blessings and virtue.

while natural hatching requires synchronized pecking from both chick and hen, modern artificial incubation does not. However, for fertilized eggs, synchronized hatching is still necessary. He concludes by stating that 99.9% of humanity remains trapped in the egg, but he will use the internet and television to transform the world.

The Truth of Initial and Awakened Mind: The Truth of Blessings and Virtue

1. The Mundane World and the Path to Enlightenment
   This world, in Buddhist teachings, is referred to as the Saba World (사바세계). Why is it called the Saba World? In Buddhism, it is described as building a sandcastle upon a woman. The character for sand (沙) is placed above the character for woman (女). This world is one where people build sandcastles upon women. They earn money and gain honor to impress women. Women are always at the center of everything. Thus, it is like building a sandcastle upon a woman. It is not even built on solid ground. The character for ba (婆) in Saba World signifies waves, meaning waves crash upon a woman. When the character for woman (女) is included, all characters become negative. For instance, in words like adultery (姦) or jealousy (妬), the radical for woman (女) is present. All words containing the radical for woman (女) denote a negative world. This is how ancient Chinese characters were formed. People are busy building sandcastles upon women.

You do not think about studying; your mind is only filled with thoughts of money. If you are without money and grow old, you might give up on such pursuits, but for most, marital problems persist throughout life. People spend their entire lives fighting. This is why it is called the Saba World. In other terms, this is called This Shore (此岸). In Buddhism, it is referred to as This Shore. This Shore is a world akin to hell. If this is This Shore, then the opposite is The Other Shore (彼岸). This is The Other Shore. This is how it is. This is the Saba World. The opposite of this Saba World is the Pure Land (極樂世界). It is the Pure Land.

We strive to reach this Pure Land. We must move from the Saba World to the Pure Land, and from This Shore to The Other Shore. That world, I tell you, is not for dozing off. Always think positively. Even if a cannonball falls here, think positively. I wish such a sound would be broadcast on KBS, so people would wake up with a start. When they regain their senses, they would hear the sound of cannonballs falling.

2. The Reality of War and the Illusion of Safety
   When I was in Vietnam, on the very day I arrived, eight children died. The room next to mine was a barbershop, and this was the replacement unit. I was about to sleep in the barracks of the replacement unit when a B-52 bomb exploded in the adjacent barbershop. The door was open, and it came right in. It took fifteen days to travel to Vietnam by ship. We went to Vietnam via Manila in the Philippines. The ship took such a long detour because the Soviets had laid mines. Because the Soviets had laid mines, the ship had to take a roundabout route. Other ships would arrive in twelve days, but we took an extra three days. We went south of the Philippines, circling the Philippines, passing in front of Manila Harbor, and then entering Vietnam. Why? Because the Soviets had installed mines. The North Vietnamese Army had laid mines in the sea to prevent the South Korean forces from coming. If the ship hit a mine, everyone would die. I barely made it into the barracks. For the fifteen days of the journey, I did not get seasick, but 90% of the others did. Their bodies were not in good condition. I did not get seasick.

But then, when I arrived, this was our Vietnamese barracks. The soldiers who had come from Korea were entering to sleep, and this was the barbershop. Soldiers who were about to return home were getting their hair cut here. But the bomb did not fall here; it fell right here, through the roof and down. The barbershop was where the soldiers finishing their tour slept, and this was where the arriving soldiers slept. When the bomb fell here, all of them died. It was horrific. depending on the direction of the bomb, who died varied. Not a single person survived; they were all annihilated. On the evening of my arrival in Vietnam, eight bodies were gone without a trace. People just disappeared when the bomb fell. After people died in the barbershop, chaos erupted. Sirens wailed, and there was a huge commotion. The White Horse Division was in an uproar. This is the White Horse Division. This is called the replacement unit. It is where those returning home and those departing get their hair cut and wait. This is how it is structured. Even here, these are barracks. Barracks for those leaving, meaning those returning home, and barracks for those arriving. The barbershop is in the middle. But the bomb fell right in the middle. Whether it was aimed from afar, it fell precisely in the center of this building. Everyone died. There is the Order of Merit for National Foundation, which provides an allowance. This allowance is for those who were injured in Vietnam and similar cases. when eight people died here, Vietnam became a paradise here and hell there. It depended on where you entered. This single wall separated hell and paradise.

What is also interesting is that even if a bomb exploded here, even if the partition was thin, this side was fine. The barracks were designed with bulletproof sections in between. This is how it was. There were bulletproof barriers like this. when a grenade was thrown, not everyone died, but the barbershop was empty. There were mirrors on both sides and chairs lined up. if a bomb fell there, everyone would die, but here, even if a bomb fell, only this part would be affected. This barrier was concrete. the soldiers slept like this. Because they slept like this, no matter how many bombs fell, not everyone would die; the structure was designed that way. I experienced such an event there, moving between paradise and hell. this is such a world. The Saba World. This is the Pure Land. Moving from This Shore to The Other Shore. What is this character for shore (岸)? It is the character for hill or shore. That side is the shore.

In reality, what is the opposite of hell? It is paradise. The opposite of the Saba World is the Pure Land, and the opposite of hell is paradise. Then, where is heaven? What is heaven the opposite of? This is the character for turbid (濁). It is a turbid world. Where we are is a turbid world. The opposite of this turbid world is heaven. This is called the Five Turbidities and Evil World (五濁惡世). This is the character for evil (惡) in Five Turbidities and Evil World. Five Turbidities and Evil World. This is heaven. we have this Initial Mind (초심) and Awakened Mind (발심). There is something you must know here. What is Blessing (복)? What does Blessing mean? What does Blessing mean? Does anyone know? Blessing is not about the Five Blessings or anything like that. You may have learned about the Five Blessings in a lecture, but what does Blessing mean? I will teach you now, so do not forget it quickly. What is Blessing? Blessing is what you receive for what you have done over Three Lifetimes (3세) – past, present, and future. What is Virtue (덕)?

This is called the Defiled Land (穢土). The Defiled Land is a dirty land. Where we are now is the Defiled Land. This is heaven. This is called the Pure Land (淨土). to go from this Defiled Land to the Pure Land, you must accumulate Blessing. what is Blessing? You must know the definition of Blessing. Please remember it. Blessing is the retribution (응보) for the causal effects (인과) of all good deeds you have performed over Three Lifetimes – your present, future, and past lives. That is Blessing. Then, what is Virtue? What does Virtue mean? Virtue is the same. It is the retribution for the causal effects of my good deeds over Three Lifetimes. It is receiving the reward for all that I have done. Virtue is about giving. That is the difference. If I accumulate many Blessings in my past and present lives and enjoy them, living a comfortable life by marrying well, I am wasting all my Blessings.

This is called Blessing. However, if you bestow the retribution for your good deeds over Three Lifetimes upon others, like Bill Gates, who uses his Blessings for others. If you help starving children in Africa, children who cannot go to school, or children who cannot be cured of diseases, what is that? That is Virtue. You are accumulating Virtue. Those who accumulate Virtue do not seek Blessing. Blessing and Virtue are distinguished. In the House of Blessing and Virtue (복덕궁), Virtue is a higher concept than Blessing. Blessing cannot overcome Virtue. Evil cannot overcome good. There is a hierarchy like this. This is like a private. An evil person cannot overcome a good person, and a good person cannot overcome Blessing. Blessing cannot overcome Virtue. What cannot Virtue overcome? Virtue cannot overcome Heaven (하늘). if the character for sign (兆) is added here, it becomes Sign of Evil, Good, Blessing, Virtue, Heaven (비악선 복덕천). evil cannot overcome good. Good cannot overcome Blessing. Blessing cannot overcome Virtue. Only when you have Virtue can it reach Heaven. Even if you receive Blessing, it is mostly poison and turns into sin. Diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure. Because you sit, eat well, and live well. If you only drink alcohol, go to bars, and have affairs, this Blessing is very likely to turn into sin. If you only enjoy and receive Blessing, it becomes sin. Blessing and sin are like cousins.

Cousins. Virtue is taking the Blessing that comes to you and saying, “Should I receive this Blessing? I should share this Blessing that has come to our family with our neighbors,” and giving it all to others. What is that called? Giving to others? It is called Merit (공덕). What is this character for merit (功)? It means to bestow. It is the character for bestow (功). Bestowing Virtue upon others. Then, what does this Virtue become? It becomes Merit. Then, if you accumulate Merit, does it affect your descendants? If someone says, “That family’s father built a bridge here,” then the villagers cannot speak ill of that family. what is one step higher than Merit? It is Grace (은덕).

Then, above that, there is Benevolence (언덕). Virtue also has a hierarchy: first, second, third. There is a hierarchy. Even if we cannot do much, we must accumulate Merit. Even if we cannot achieve Benevolence, we must accumulate Merit.

3. Initial Mind, Awakened Mind, and the Hierarchy of Values
   this Initial Mind (초심), which I am discussing today, including some Buddhist and Christian perspectives, is close to Blessing. People initially want to eat well and live well. They only run around seeking Blessing. But then, when they become a billionaire like Bill Gates, they develop an Awakened Mind (발심). What is Awakened Mind? What is Awakened Mind an abbreviation for? It is good deeds. Then, at that point, they accumulate Virtue. Initially, they seek this, only wanting to receive Blessing, trying to take from their parents, seeking inheritance, and so on. But later, when they become very wealthy, they enter the Awakened Mind. Initial Mind is greed. Initial Mind is avarice. Awakened Mind is when one resolves to realize the truth. That is why Awakened Mind is so important. Our human Initial Mind is tainted with avarice.

Therefore, both Buddhism and Christianity emphasize this Initial Mind, but in fact, Awakened Mind is also very important. Another word for Awakened Mind is determination (결심). It is making a determination to do good deeds. this is it. If you add the character for sign (兆)… you have written this down. Yang Gomun-nim, have you written it? If you add the character for sign (兆)… I have strong electricity, I am different from ordinary people, so if you come close, there is a sound. It makes a buzzing sound here.

The electricity is strong. You see, it becomes like this. Then, human emotion (정) cannot overcome reason (이치), reason cannot overcome law (법), law cannot overcome power (권력), and power cannot overcome Heaven (하늘). Syngman Rhee committed electoral fraud. He committed electoral fraud and controlled law and power, so it seemed no one could speak up. But Heaven expelled Syngman Rhee, did it not? This is the people. You cannot deceive Heaven. No matter how much they deceive themselves. there is this order. For example, can a courageous person overcome a wise person?

They cannot. Just as evil cannot overcome good, courage cannot overcome wisdom. What cannot a wise person overcome? They cannot overcome a virtuous person. No matter how outstanding a person’s wisdom, can they overcome a virtuous person? No. A strategist can overcome a brave general. But a strategist, no matter how wise, cannot overcome a virtuous general. No matter how much of a Zhuge Liang one is, one cannot overcome Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang had no lack of talent, but he did not become Liu Bei. It is because he lacked Virtue. Zhuge Liang was a wise person, not a virtuous person. The position of Virtue is always higher. Then, even more important than Virtue is past karma (전생업보). It is luck (운). Jeong Seong-hwa was a virtuous general.

Then, Chun Doo-hwan, who had luck, was much lower in rank but still won. we must acknowledge hierarchy. That person accumulated many Blessings in a past life, so he was born as Lee Kun-hee’s son. Lee Jae-yong. Why was Lee Jae-yong born as Lee Kun-hee’s son with so much Blessing? That is a ridiculous statement. Their past lives are different. People’s luck is different. That is karma. we must acknowledge that. no matter how much one claims to be virtuous and perfect, it is ridiculous if one was not a virtuous person in a past life. If one stole from others in a past life, then in this life, one has nothing. There are those who have luck. Luck is also Heaven. Chun Doo-hwan imprisoned Roh Tae-woo. Those who beat down virtuous generals end up in prison again. When their luck runs out, they go again.

But even if people committed wrongdoing, they speak loudly during the period when Heaven overlooks it. No one can raise an objection. “Chun Doo-hwan, why did you stage a military coup?” No matter who tries, will it work? No, it will not. It will not work. There is a period for that. During that period, there is nothing you can do; that is what luck is. Park General, where is the water?

Yes, no matter how much a person seeks, no matter how much they seek material things, it is not as good as asking others about the truth. Why do fish in nature have such streamlined bodies? When a female fish comes to one side, the color on the left side of the male fish, towards the female, turns red. They are trying to attract. But the color on the other side is less red. if a man sees a pretty woman on one side and an unattractive woman on the other, his face keeps turning towards the pretty woman. His face turns towards the pretty woman. But this side of his face turns redder. This side of his face turns less red. nature made it that way. no matter how much you seek, it is not as good as asking, and asking is not as good as listening. This is the character for listen (聞), and this is the character for ask (問). what is above this? What was above it?

Kim Gomun-nim, let us have a glass of water and continue. What is above that? The point of what I have taught you so far is here. It becomes like this. Even if you know by asking, knowing can lead to trouble. Is that not wisdom? If it is wisdom, then Virtue must always be above it. The higher concept. You asked and listened to others, but if you use what you heard cunningly like Zhuge Liang, you are a wise person. But who is it that knows all that and yet does not act? And who is it that has wise people under him? It is Liu Bei. That person has Virtue, so he does not ask or listen. He just listens and says, “We can win, but let us withdraw from there.” He says, “We can win, but withdraw.” But Zhuge Liang says, “No, we can win, why should we withdraw?” “How many times have we fought this war? We should not always win. Let us retreat once. The soldiers need some rest.”

“What is the point of winning there?” “We have surely captured all those enemies!” “No, killing is done according to the time, so withdraw.” Zhuge Liang could not understand. But Liu Bei ordered a withdrawal. he was a person of immense Virtue. He loved his subordinates. “How many wars have we fought this year?” “Five times.” “Withdraw, let us stop capturing them this year.” this Virtue, no matter how many strategic meetings are held, can it overcome a virtuous person? The reason I am talking about Virtue today is, what did I say Blessing is? Blessing equals sin, did I not?

It becomes sin. What does Virtue equal? Virtue becomes Blessing. this Virtue continuously becomes Blessing, and Blessing becomes Virtue again. This repeats. But there are people whose Blessing turns into sin. you must judge this well. These two paths. This Blessing always stands at a crossroads, whether it goes this way or that way. Then, this is the character for false (假). It is the character for false.

Write it like that. Just add the human radical. It is false. Then, what comes after false? I wrote it wrong here. If you write the character for sign (兆) here, and this becomes false, then there must be truth (실) here. False cannot overcome truth.

False cannot overcome truth, can it? False cannot overcome truth. falsehood cannot overcome fact. What cannot fact overcome? It cannot overcome truth (진실). It is truth. Then, what cannot truth overcome? Try to solve this. Since you are studying now.

It is love (사랑). Truth cannot overcome love. What is this? It is Virtue. This is Virtue. Love is Virtue. this is the order of our nature, and the reason I am saying this is very important. In 1930, there was a trial in America. The woman’s name was Rich. She was falsely accused of murder, so she was about to die. But all the jurors suspected her. They suspected her and said she was lying. The judge and all the jurors said, “That woman killed someone and is denying it.” She was cornered. But in fact, the woman did not kill anyone.

Come in quickly. Here. Come this way. Falsehood cannot overcome fact. the judge said, “You are lying,” and the jurors also said, “Everything the woman says is a lie.” But the woman actually did not kill anyone. It happened that the woman went to collect money, and someone was dead. they said she killed this person over money. For example. the woman had no way out. when the dead person was groaning, tied up before dying, she untied what was on their body. Then, all her fingerprints were left there. If someone’s arms are tied, you have to untie them. While she was untying them, someone else killed the person, but all her fingerprints were left. She was undeniably the killer.

However, the fingerprints she touched were not conclusive evidence that they were hers, and although she touched it, there were no fingerprints. But it was a fact that the woman was there. And the woman was falsely accused there, at the scene. But her face only resembled the woman, and it was not known whether it was her or not. But she was falsely accused. in court, they said, “That woman is definitely the one,” because of her face. They said, “In our town, she is the only woman who resembles her.” But the footage was not clear whether it was her or not. The person who saw her said her face seemed to match, so this woman was identified. the woman was identified because of her clothes. She was wearing a red sweater, so they said she was the one, even though she had not even been there.

But it was a death sentence. this was reported in the newspaper. But one day, someone like me appeared in court. He appeared at her trial. “This woman was with me.” Such a person appeared. But that person was so famous that the judge stood up and bowed to him. He was a famous person in American society. He came and said, “Listen, Judge, that person was with me that day.” But this person knew for sure that she was not the culprit. But since there was no witness, he could not save the woman. The woman was now facing the death penalty. But when this person spoke, the judge and prosecutor said, “Then release her.” Because he was such a famous person. For example. He was a prominent person in that region. He was a very respected person. “Her? She was with me that day. She consulted me about life.”

When he said that, the judge said, “Is that so? Then we do not need any evidence. She is released. She is not the culprit. Investigate again.” He dismissed it. he saved the woman. Was what this famous person said a lie or the truth? Was what this famous person said a lie or the truth? It was a lie. He had never been with that woman, nor had he ever seen her. That famous person in America just saw the newspaper and appeared. He came and saved a woman. This is a famous anecdote in America. This famous person saved a woman named Rich. He saved her that way, and later, the real culprit was caught. How incredible is that? this person became known.

who would you trust in this world, the judge, the prosecutor, or the jury? The fake pretends to be real, and the innocent person is arrested as the culprit and almost killed. She was cornered like that, but did this person go and lie? When such a person tells a lie to save someone, what is another word for that? That is called truth (진실). Is it above or below fact? It is above fact. This is Heaven. Is it closer to Heaven than fact? this is called truth. between falsehood and truth, there is fact. whether it is fact or not is not important. First, save the person. And the person is not the culprit. Such a high-ranking person confirmed it and saved a person.

At such a time, this fact is not really important. truth governs fact. Then, what must this truth have? Love. That person made a sacrifice. Going and saving someone is love. This is the order of all things. Yang Gomun, you wrote this down. This is the law of nature. a brave general cannot overcome a strategist, but a strategist cannot overcome a virtuous general. A virtuous general cannot overcome luck. Then, Blessing cannot overcome Virtue, can it? It cannot. you should not boast about having a Blessing for your husband or children. You must hide your Blessing and bestow Virtue, so that in your next life, Blessing will return to you.

Then, it becomes a ping-pong game again. It changes back to Virtue. The reason I am saying this today is that this world is this. This world is a world close to Heaven. Then, you should come this way. Do not go that way. those who seek, those who blindly seek, initially seek this. They seek it in their Initial Mind.

You have all written this down. Those who have not can take a picture with their phone or write it down. this Saba World is purely a world built upon women. women… men… A Seoul National University professor, if a student submits a single petition… To become a Seoul National University professor, you have to risk your life and study sleeplessly for a lifetime. But if that Seoul National University professor makes one wrong joke to a woman, he is forced to resign, and his family is ruined. these days, it is easy to ruin a famous person. Just like that. They kill people these days. women have the power to destroy all worlds.

If you build too much of a sandcastle upon a woman, waves will crash, which is pathetic. But this means women have that much power. I wrote it here. Now, close your eyes. When I hold this microphone, electricity keeps coming. Electricity. Now, close your eyes. Now, put a tree seed in your mind.

A tree seed. A large zelkova tree that grows 50 meters tall. Not a zelkova tree, but a seed of a large, straight-growing tree. A pine tree. That seed is smaller than our fingernail. But inside that seed, what the creator of this world made, all the engineers in the world cannot create it now. They cannot create a tiny pine seed. DNA is inside that seed. The DNA determines the entire length of the pine tree and its shape. And the root DNA must go into the ground, and the stem DNA is programmed to go up. It would be a disaster if all the seeds went into the ground together and only became roots. Inside the seed, it is precisely determined: “You are to be a root, you are to go up to the sky.” Think about that carefully.

“You will become a leaf, you will become a stem, you will become a root,” it is all determined and made into a seed. This is proof that God exists. This universe was not created by chance. No scientist can create a single seed. They cannot create a single sesame seed. They cannot create a single grain of rice. Perhaps, no matter how many hundreds of millions of years science develops, we may not be able to create a single seed. That is the DNA in our human bodies. I can change that DNA at will. I change the DNA of trees by looking at them, and I change your DNA by looking at you. If there is a disease, I change the cells. I change all matter, I take water and change it, I take milk and change it. I change DNA as I please. think carefully about that seed. The order of the universe is contained within it.

And in that seed, it says, “You provide oxygen to humans, and you drink the carbon dioxide that comes out of human mouths.” trees must consume carbon dioxide to live. Humans must consume the oxygen that trees exhale. trees create oxygen and give it to humans, and we create carbon and give it to trees, exchanging them. was that created by God? Or was it created as a joke? It was created. You should meditate on such things. Close your eyes and think quietly. Truly, the law of nature is that trees and plants must consume all the carbon dioxide produced by animals and humans. And they diligently create oxygen and share it with us. Now, open your eyes. Are you happy?

If, for example, I want to enter an arboretum or a theater, do I have to pay money? Yes, I do. But if I enter an arboretum… Kim Gomun-nim, what are you doing? Listen carefully to this lecture. If I enter an arboretum, do I have the wisdom to pay money? You have to pay to enter Children’s Grand Park, too. But if you were asked to pay money to look at nature, you would have to walk around with your eyes closed. You would have to pay millions or tens of millions of won just to look once. But when people like the Lotte Group chairman build a 150-story building, we get to see it for free.

In fact, you should pay an admission fee for everything. This beautiful nature created by Heaven, a single seed, a single tree, you should originally pay money to look at all of it. An admission fee. But we all just look at it for free. how happy are we that we can appreciate all of that for free? All those forms are proof that God exists. If you look closely, the branches of trees go up, and the roots go down, and all the ways animals live are created by God.

we have a world that combines this, this, and this. A combined world in Buddhism. What is that combined world? It is a combined world. Does anyone know? A combined world. Look closely here.

I will write this character clearly. I need to write it slowly to write it clearly. This is the character for star (辰).

This is the character for desire (欲). Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (발아뇩다라삼먁삼보리). What does this mean? Park General, please put paper or tape here. Why is there a sound? Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.

It should not make a sound. Try putting it in there. You need to fold it more. Is it done? Over there. Next time, please use something else. It does not look good. You know the character for live (殺). You know it. This is how you write it. The character for Awakened Mind (발심) is this character bal (發) and this character sim (心). it is an abbreviation of thirteen characters.

Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-sattva-citta (발아뇩다라삼먁삼보리살타심). It is quite long. the thirteen characters are abbreviated to the first and last characters, which is Awakened Mind. When thirteen characters are changed into two characters, it is called having an Awakened Mind. this Eternal Unwavering Awakened Mind (영구불발심) means transcending this world and realizing all truths. when it is two characters, it is called Awakened Mind, and when it is changed to another term, it is this character and the character bo (菩). This character is a bit faint. This character and this character bo (菩). This is the character for stand (立). This character bo (菩) and this character. If you combine these two characters, it becomes Bodhisattva (보살).

Bodhisattva. In Buddhism, this is called Bodhisattva. They say “Bodhisattva-nim.” In Buddhism, Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-sattva-citta is called Bodhisattva. many people are called Bodhisattva. Bodhisattva means a person who has an Awakened Mind, not of this world, not an Initial Mind. if a person who has an Awakened Mind is called Bodhisattva, then when it is four characters, it is also called Bodhisattva (보리살타). This Bodhisattva is also called Bodhisattva. it is abbreviated to Bodhisattva. it is the mind of Bodhisattva.

And Awakened Mind. If you say you have an Awakened Mind, it means you have staked your life entirely on the truth. Such a person is called a Bodhisattva in Buddhism. In Christianity, what are such people called? They are called deacons, evangelists, and elders. In Buddhism, this is called Bodhisattva, and the resolve to become a Bodhisattva is called having an Awakened Mind. we extract various things from within this and use them. The phrase Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi refers to the truth here. The truth of this universe. Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. It is a determination to follow the truth.

You must know such things. if we change this to another term, you can think of it as this. Seed (종자). You must have a good seed. If you look at a seed, even if it is tiny, it is a huge tree. If you look at a seed, it is already determined in the seed whether it is the seed of a huge tree or not. In the seed. this seed means seed. If you have an Awakened Mind, the seed of the mind is already planted. What war remains for the future Earth? The seed war (종자 전쟁). The seed war is approaching us. Many seeds are monopolized by America and other countries. We have lost all our seeds.

we have to bring in soybean seeds and rice seeds from foreign countries to farm. Now. We have to buy seeds. We import them. They have seed banks. And they mass-produce seeds. We have eaten all our seeds and lost them. the Korean people are a nation that has lost its seeds. They mismanaged their seeds. in the future. Westerners have caused mutations in these seeds to harvest a lot of grain. What did they do? They genetically modified the seeds to be resistant to pesticides and other things. They put in GMOs. we cannot help but use these seeds. in the future, there will be a huge crisis because of these seeds. And when the food war breaks out, the seed war will come first.

if they do not supply seeds to countries around the world, North Korea cannot farm. Now, there is no need to freeze bank accounts. Even without seeds… This sound comes out so well. they cannot sleep. It comes out at just the right time. later, if North Korea cannot get corn seeds, they cannot farm. Then people will surrender. In other words, seeds are becoming a weapon in the future. I have a question. There was a king who wanted the whole world to be green. the king ordered his ministers to turn the whole world green. Even if it cost an enormous amount of money. But one minister came and turned the world green in just one hour. What is it? Why? The king asked to turn the whole world green, and the minister said, “Yes, I will do it.” Other ministers said it was impossible. How did he turn it all green? Park Chairman?

Yes. Applause. He gave him green glasses. When the king first put on the green glasses, everything turned green. People’s faces were green, everything looked green, so he said, “Ah, now I can live.” This Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-sattva-citta is the glasses we must wear. Awakened Mind. If you say you want to approach the truth, you just need to wear those glasses. Truth glasses. But you do not know how to wear them. You refuse to wear them to the end. “I am the child of so-and-so,” you say, holding onto your stubbornness. You must change that. You must change your glasses. Do not lose your glasses. You must change your glasses.

Then, as I lecture like this… all the pencils have problems. Please bring more. What is this? It is too messy, so it is hard to see. It comes out well. Done. A little more. This is also fine. I need a lot for one lecture. Simultaneous Hatching (졸탁동시). Simultaneous Hatching means I break the egg from the outside. But if you stay still inside, will it be Simultaneous Hatching?

No, it will not. Then, what is another word for Simultaneous Hatching? What does it become in other words? We use another word for Simultaneous Hatching a lot. You know it. Simultaneous Opportunity (졸탁동기). Simultaneous Opportunity or Simultaneous Hatching are similar, but Simultaneous Hatching means that when the chick pecks from inside, the mother hears the sound and pecks it open. She pecks it open, and a chick comes out of the egg. if the mother makes a mistake, a weak chick comes out. the chick that is pecked open first is healthy, but if the mother is distracted for a moment and misses it, it is weak. this Simultaneous Hatching must happen precisely for a normal chick to emerge. A normal chick emerges, but these humans, these are humans, what are humans trapped in?

They are trapped in Saba. These women. This Saba World. they are trapped in Greed, Anger, and Ignorance (탐진치). Humans are trapped in Greed, Anger, and Ignorance. this Greed, Anger, and Ignorance means being greedy, getting angry, and being foolish. They have all three in abundance. If they were greedy but wise, it would be fine, but greed, anger, and foolishness are combined. Then, when someone pecks from above, can this person achieve Simultaneous Hatching?

This character si (時) means time. There is a time. You must not miss the time. But what I am lecturing about now is that if this human, trapped in this line of Greed, Anger, and Ignorance, eliminates this line, will they become one with the universe and 7 billion people? They will become one. They will become one, but this person is saying, “This is mine.” This is mine, this is mine, this is my wife, this is my child. When “mine” enters here, and Greed, Anger, and Ignorance are perfectly formed, the universe and 7 billion people cannot become one. Then, Virtue… Can that be achieved? You must break this. Break it. Do not take this lightly.

Of course, there is also Simultaneous Opportunity. The opportunity to break this is Huh Kyung-young. Huh Kyung-young is here, providing the opportunity, but (here, the signal is not sent from inside, but from outside. ) It is time for it to come out, but there is no news from outside. It wants to stay inside. People like Sakyamuni are those who struggle to get out of this. But you say this inside is good. You say you want to become a silkworm cocoon, rotting in Greed, Anger, and Ignorance. That should not happen. Please come out. It is time to come out, so why are you not coming out? The 7 billion people on Earth are raising human-like people, but not a single one is coming out. They are sitting inside a silkworm cocoon.

I came and am hitting this. Now, Simultaneous Opportunity. My lecture is providing the opportunity. This is now going out as a messenger. It is going out on YouTube. Now, word is slowly spreading, and many people are contacting me after seeing my content. What is that? This camera is the Simultaneous Opportunity. Then, if all the people realize this and say, “The air inside here is also polluted,” and break this, the entire universe becomes one with me. A community. Another word for this is Virtue. What is it called to stay still inside this? It is called Blessing. They want to stay comfortably by themselves here.

Yes. Just. if this Blessing does not come out, what does it turn into? It turns into sin. what is Virtue? It is not receiving the Blessing that comes to me, but giving it back to others. Then, what do you call a pregnant woman smoking? What do you call a pregnant woman smoking? I am asking something funny because I am too serious.

No, what do you call a pregnant woman smoking? Professor Cho? Guest: I do not know. Speaker: Does anyone know?

If you went to Harvard and said that, you would be expelled. Our Kim Gomun-nim has been distributing many flyers recently, and that elder over there has come. Mr. Song. He monitors fraudulent elections in Korea, and he is a very… Let us give him a round of applause. He distributed flyers and met me there, and we talked a bit earlier. This is a broadcast going out on the internet, so I cannot do whatever I want, but I am introducing him because he is doing good work. What I am telling you now, both Christianity and Buddhism have heaven and the Pure Land.

This is Christianity, and this is Buddhism. Since I cannot be biased towards any religion, I have talked about both Christianity and Buddhism, but the Messiah has already come and what has come to you is called Simultaneous Opportunity. In the 21st century, how often does an ice age occur on Earth? There is still ice left, is there not? How often does this occur?

Does anyone know how often an ice age occurs? Park Chairman, do you know? you only know that your lifespan is 100 years, but you do not know how long the Earth’s lifespan is. Scientists have accurately investigated the ice and found it to be 130,000 years old. An ice age occurs every 130,000 years, melting and forming again, so 130,000 years is one cycle. remember the age of the Earth. It is 130,000 years.

it comes out as 129,600 years. This result comes from ice research. From ice research. But since I am the incarnation of the one who created the universe, do I know this ? I know. what is this? It is the number that comes out when you multiply 360 by 360. 360 multiplied by 360 comes out like this. 129,600 comes out, and this is the Earth revolving around the sun once. It revolves 360 degrees. This is 360 degrees. when the Earth completely revolves around the sun 360 degrees, an ice age comes. after 129,600 years, the Earth will have another ice age, and how long will it last? Since it is about 129,600 years.

How long will it last? They say that humans have been born here for less than 10,000 years. Christian history is now 7,000 or 6,000 years. in this cycle of 129,600 years for modern humans, an ice age forms again, and this Earth enters a dormant period, remaining as what for a long time?

It remains as ice, and then it forms ice again. It continuously freezes and forms ice to completely sterilize. It is freeze-dried. Then, the ice melts again, and gradually, nature sprouts, animals are created, and then humans are created. every butterfly, every bird, every deer, every human, every animal is created by a thorough design. Men and women. this humanity came to Earth, created in a world you cannot imagine, a world where I came from. Earth is a living educational facility.

Here, after receiving education for this period of 129,600 years, and after all the useful souls are saved, there are those who are held back. Those who are held back must circulate the Earth again and receive education again. Sakyamuni continuously spoke like that, but I am the one who came for such beings, so it continuously circulates and teaches you. you must quickly remove this so that you can go to the next world. is there pleasure in this world? This Saba World seems like pleasure because women are at the bottom, but it is not pleasure. What is the ship that goes from this world to that world? What is its name? What ship must you take to go from this world to that world? What sea must you cross?

To go from this world to that world, you must cross the Sea of Suffering (고해). This Sea of Suffering is between this side and that side. the ship you take is this. This, but now it has changed to Huh Kyung-young. Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-sattva-citta, what is another word for it? This is a Buddhist story, and it is Huh Kyung-young. You must take the ship called Huh Kyung-young to cross this Sea of Suffering. I came to move you from this sea to that side, and I am hitting you through the internet. This is what I am doing.

Then, later, you might wonder why Huh Kyung-young does not create a religion or an organization, but becomes president and unifies the world, and why a person comes to change this. All religions are fake. Am I right or wrong? The people Heaven fears most are religious followers. Christians, Buddhists, Muslims. These religious followers are the beings Heaven dislikes most. Do you know what kind of person God is? Do you know what kind of person a pastor in a church fears most? Someone who donates well, someone who pays tithes well. Someone who evangelizes well. Their eyes glare at the pastor. They glare.

religious people glare at God. They glare at Huh Kyung-young. “Kill that Jesus.” Such people, fervent and thorough in their faith, are the ones who kill Jesus. It was not passing Pharisees or mad dogs who killed Jesus, but those who donated well, kept tithes, and were legalists who killed Jesus. what is cornering pastors now? It is the faithful who donate well, attend church well, and are thorough, who judge others. They judge pastors and tell other believers, “That is wrong, that person will go to hell, what are they doing?” “I donate well, I do this well,” such things arise, and religion turns the world into a sea of war. In the future, Islam will acquire nuclear weapons. And it will fly to New York. Then, when a world war breaks out, we will die in despair.

I am here to stop that. I am not lying. It may seem like nothing, but they are all preparing. ISIS is showing a glimpse of that. Their cruelty. Soon, Iran will build nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles. before long, they will fall on New York, Washington, and San Francisco, and if a global nuclear war breaks out, what will happen? Our children will burn to death in front of their parents. Melting in nuclear fire. Then, there will be nowhere to set foot in this world. All the nuclear fallout will fall with the rain. If a nuclear bomb explodes in America, will the nuclear fallout not fly to Korea? It will all fall with the rain, and there will be no place to farm in this world. The Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan is an ant. Who will cause a world war?

Because of the Islamic religion. does Huh Kyung-young come to Earth and talk about religion? I only explain the principles of religion; I do not encourage you to have a religion. You yourselves must become Jesus. You yourselves must become Buddha. this Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-sattva-citta, this mind, is what Buddhism says is necessary to cross the Sea of Suffering. But now, I am a person who has left religion, so you just need to call Huh Kyung-young. I am not someone who receives donations or practices religion. I am someone who actually comes to help you. Such a person is destined to come.

I came to this world with Simultaneous Opportunity. You must engrave this in your hearts. 99.9% of humans do not come out of this egg. 99.9%. When the internet developed, I appeared and will change all humanity through the internet and television. That is not far off. Now. Where did he go? Park General? Bring what Kim Yoon-ok did. Did I bring it? Please make copies of that today and give them out.

Guest: Should I give out books? Speaker: Bring the book. Park Chun-young, did you bring one of those? What happened?

You gave it to me? It is here, look. What is the name of that book? This is former President Lee Myung-bak’s memoir. It is an appendix to the memoir. It is attached at the back. It is given when you buy the book. Look here, there are four chapters, and Kim Yoon-ok’s statement of support for Huh Kyung-young is included in one part. It is in the fourth part. This is all there is to the table of contents. This is all of it.

There is no table of contents. It is in one of the four chapters. It is included, and it says here, “Kim Yoon-ok: If MB donates his assets, I will support Huh Kyung-young.” That is the title. Then what else is here? “I will support presidential candidate Huh Kyung-young.” Kim Yoon-ok’s picture is there. even the First Lady knows Huh Kyung-young. Kim Yoon-ok suddenly told Ryu Woo-ik, who was President Lee Myung-bak’s chief of staff, “If he donates his assets, how will I marry off my children? I will support Huh Kyung-young with my son in the future. I will support Huh Kyung-young, so know that.” And Ryu Woo-ik was very surprised.

This is the only personal story about me in his autobiography. All the other stories are serious, but only mine is interesting. it means that many people know my pledges. Read it once. Huh Kyung-young’s pledges… Then page 97. It means everyone knows Huh Kyung-young’s pledges.

Yang Gomun-nim, please read it once. You read it once. Student, please read it once. Hold the microphone and read it once.

Student: The president promised to donate his private assets to society during the 2007 presidential election. Speaker: the title. The title. The title.

Student: The full story of First Lady Kim Yoon-ok’s support for Huh Kyung-young. The president promised to donate his private assets to society during the 2007 presidential election. After becoming president, he donated 33.1 billion won as promised to establish the Cheonggye Foundation. In December 2014, during a memoir meeting, I asked, “Did you consult your family about donating your private assets?” “I promised my mother that I would not leave an inheritance to my children. I wanted to keep that promise, but I felt sorry for my wife.” ” I put that content in the presidential TV speech script and asked her to read it.” Then, former Chief of Staff added, “It was during the presidential election. Next to the tennis court, I think. I ran into the First Lady.

At that time, the First Lady seemed to think that I had instigated the president to donate his private assets. She looked at me and immediately said, ‘I will now consult with my son and support Huh Kyung-young. If I donate all my assets, how will I marry off my son? Candidate Huh Kyung-young promises to give hundreds of millions of won to newlyweds, so we will support Huh Kyung-young.’ I told her, ‘Huh Kyung-young has withdrawn his candidacy, so supporting him is useless.’ The meeting room instantly erupted in laughter.”

That is the end. OK. That is the end, and it means the First Lady did not view President Lee Myung-bak’s donation favorably, but in fact, it is impossible to publish such an article in a book. why did they publish it? There was a mountain of prepared manuscripts for this book, and former ministers and senior secretaries met once a week for a year to discuss and extract content for the book. And the publisher also reviewed it and selected everything. everything was cut out. But in the end, only Huh Kyung-young’s story remained. Everything else was cut out. why did they include it? These people knew about Huh Kyung-young’s popularity and public opinion even when they were in the Blue House. They knew.

This is a huge guarantee for them. First Lady Kim Yoon-ok has a very pure side. I think the reason they included that content is proof that I receive a lot of support from young people. they hope their autobiography will also be read by many young people. The book in front of this one is all about the president’s work, so it is serious and no one reads it. They only read this one. They only read this one, and since mine is included, it has also appeared on television many times. This. whenever I feel like it, I appear on television because of my pledges.

Alright, let us finish quickly now. Questions.

This is all written by me in standard script. This is “completely,” this is “verifiably,” this is “permanently,” and this is “eliminate.” This is about eliminating nuclear weapons. This is about eliminating nuclear weapons permanently, this is about eliminating nuclear weapons verifiably, this is about eliminating nuclear weapons completely. This is what I told Bush when I went to America. They asked me, “Would you please tell me how to drive North Korea’s plutonium project?” When they asked me what I thought about North Korea’s plutonium, I told them this. This was not something I said. America said it. America told me they would eliminate it completely, verifiably, and permanently.

But these people left North Korea’s nuclear weapons, Iran’s nuclear weapons, and Pakistan’s nuclear weapons alone. Pakistan, Islam, is coming in. And North Korea’s nuclear weapons could go to Iran or Iraq. And Iran has nuclear weapons. America is now leaving nuclear weapons in Islamic countries. Listen carefully. what I say is that nuclear weapons should be fully verifiably. It is also irreversibly.

Irreversibly. This means irreversibly, this is permanent, and this is irreversible. I want nuclear weapons to be irreversible, verifiable, and sufficient. using nuclear power in North Korea’s power plants can be allowed. It is about sufficiently eliminating nuclear weapons, completely eliminating them. Yes, verifiable is good. Permanently. Irreversibly. And then, I do not say “eliminate,” but what do I say? “Dismantle.” This “dismantle” means to dismantle nuclear weapons. Dismantle. This means North Korea itself dismantles nuclear weapons, North Korea cannot resist, it is verifiable, and it is sufficient. Then, North Korea will accept this. What I am saying, North Korea can accept it. They want to accept it and do it this way. But America wants to do it this way.

America condones the nuclear weapons of Iran, Pakistan, India, and Israel. Then, these Islamic countries… North Korea is missing here. Then, all these nuclear weapons will go where? They will move to Islamic countries. Then, before long, North Korean nuclear technicians will go to Iran, and to Pakistan, and everywhere. Then, you cannot stop these people. Then what will happen? A religious nuclear war will break out all over the world. ISIS is following Catholicism. What ISIS is doing now. What ISIS is doing is similar to how Catholicism burned about 500,000 people at the stake in the past. For having a different religion. “That person believes in a ghost, kill that woman,” then it is just burning at the stake. They burn them to death. 500,000 people were burned to death. Besides that, countless people died in wars. But ISIS has finally started burning people to death. They hold public burnings. It is in their scriptures. It is in the Bible. It is also in the Islamic scriptures. How can this be? These religions will eventually wage religious wars in the future, and Islam and Catholicism are not easy opponents. When I went to America and talked about nuclear weapons, they only insisted on this for North Korea. And they showed no will to resolve North Korea’s nuclear issue. At first, they wanted to go softly. they oppose this soft approach. They say it is not possible.

This is not possible. They are hardliners. America… You take nuclear weapons lightly, but one day, if a nuclear bomb falls on Namsan, about 30 million people in Seoul will disappear. Because the population is dense. If one falls, 30 million people will disappear, and if someone brings a bag of radioactive powder and puts it in the Paldang Dam, we will not be able to drink Han River water for hundreds of years. People cannot live in Seoul. It is very simple, but there are incredibly dangerous people there.

Those people are not afraid of dying at all. They think dying once is simple. you do not realize that if Huh Kyung-young does not become president of South Korea and quickly unify the world, it will be a big problem. It is just like 25 years ago, 23 years ago, when I said, “100 million won for marriage, 30 million won for childbirth,” people said, “Who is that crazy guy?” But if they had given it then… Our Park Chairman also told me. If they had given it then, Korea’s population would be 80 million, per capita income 80,000 dollars, number one in the world. It could have been number one in the world. But you all just let my words go in one ear and out the other. This world is facing such dangers.

But then, France guaranteed Vietnam, and Kissinger held six-party talks. Vietnam insisted on peaceful unification. “Good,” they said, and the US and South Korean forces withdrew, and I withdrew then and came back. A month before I withdrew, Vietnam was communized. No, our White Horse Division and Saigon, government offices and everything, there was no place without a Viet Cong flag. No, the North Vietnamese Army had not even arrived, but the entire Vietnam was covered in Viet Cong flags. Then, suddenly, America ordered the White Horse Division to withdraw. the White Horse Division withdrew. Thousands of people withdrew every day, and large planes carrying 500 people kept taking off from Nha Trang Airport. The withdrawal was completed. I took the very last plane.

I took the very last plane, and most of the division’s officers were on that last plane. Since the division’s officers, generals, and colonels were all on board, there were many items in the plane’s cargo hold. the plane failed to take off. Nha Trang Airport was short, and they loaded too much luggage. Come in. The plane ran to the end of the runway, but since it could not take off, it stopped. we got off the plane again… The plane… They did not unload the items on the plane. They drained all the fuel that was put in to go to Seoul for about two hours. Then the plane took off again. It went as far as Da Nang Airport. They could refuel at Da Nang Airport.

Da Nang Airport is 10 times longer than Nha Trang Airport. Because it was a place for bombing the North. To go to Da Nang Airport, they drained all the fuel, and then the plane took off. The weight of the fuel must have been enormous. When they drained all the fuel, the plane barely took off. It took off. But the road to get on this plane. The distance of about 10 kilometers to the empty airport for the White Horse Division’s final departure was a complete withdrawal operation. They were fully armed and fought their way to the airport. They did not just go by car. They went to the airport with heavy armament, starting with tanks, and Vietnam was completely communized.

they just… quickly came in, leaving the door open. the plane… There were Viet Cong all the way to all the airports in Vietnam, so we were in danger, and we fought our way to the airport, but even after arriving at the airport, we could not get on a plane for three days. we slept on the ground. Everyone slept on the ground at the airport for three days. Because we had to get on a plane. Since there were so many soldiers, we had to wait to get on a plane. we got on a plane after three days, but this plane could not take off. That was the division headquarters making its final withdrawal. the division commander was also on board, everyone was on board. That plane went back to Da Nang. After refueling in Da Nang, it took off after two hours. It took off. But when I looked at Da Nang Airport, hundreds of North Vietnamese bombers were lined up.

Looking down from above. After we withdrew like that, a few days later, Vietnam was communized. We were the very last to leave. We left, and France guaranteed it, and Kissinger held six-party talks after several years, and the six-party talks between North and South were successful. But not long after, within a month, it was communized. our country will absolutely be ruined if we unify with North Korea.

Under no circumstances should we unify with North Korea; our country will close down after that day. South Korea will disappear. But not knowing that, the Blue House talking about unification is nonsense. We must be careful in the future. Because the later the unification with North Korea, the better. These children must know this. I set the unification with North Korea for 2029. World unification for 2030, Asian unification for 2025. Why am I saying this today? People are creating unification committees and so on. If we unify with communism and it becomes unification? Do not even imagine that. Germany unified when West Germany’s GNP was 3 to 1 compared to East Germany.

And our country, South Korea and North Korea, is now 40 to 1. 40 to 1. There is a difference. if we unify now, we will both be ruined. North and South will both be ruined simultaneously. Then why will we be ruined? Our country’s shipping industry, unemployment, and our shipbuilding industry are number one in the world. Then our shipbuilding industry will be ruined as it is. 3 million people will become unemployed. Why? If North Korea transports cargo to Russia, our country will be ruined. ships will disappear. Japanese people will also transport their goods by our trains. Then everyone will be ruined. if we connect railways to Russia or Europe, the country will be ruined.

We must absolutely not operate that. for the time being, we have a very large number of people employed in the shipping and shipbuilding industries. That economy is the collapse of the national economy. But without knowing anything, they talk about bringing Siberian gas by train? That is a dream. What is the point of bringing that? Cheap gas can come from America by ship anytime. Such things are nonsense. the subcontractors of this shipbuilding industry in the country are enormous. They will all close down. we have a GNP of 40 to 1, and there is no country in the world that has unified like that. 3 to 1. It has to be similar for unification to happen. But even so, West Germans now resent East Germans. They say they pay more taxes because of them. Now, taxes are high in both East and West Germany. Why? They say they pay more taxes because of those East German beggars. But what is ours? It is 40 to 1. But without thinking about the people’s livelihood, what do they do? They try to unify and then talk about constitutional amendments and so on, trying to devastate the country. I am not criticizing the government, but they need to get their act together. What is unification? What is unification? Now, internal unification in our country is more urgent. Our country’s unification must start with the family. They have alienated parents and children through education policies. What are they trying to unify now? If North and South unify now, the most dangerous period will be when North Korean women all become mistresses of South Korean nouveau riches. Do you think such thoughts are ordinary? They always go to North Korea to find women, not for business, and use money to buy young women. They go with cars. It is obvious. Why should we unify for such people, for nouveau riches? While workers are starving.

do not use the word “unification” carelessly. I am not against being president. However, those who talk about unification carelessly should read a book if they have nothing else to do. The world’s best unification expert is Huh Kyung-young. These stories, these nuclear stories, even Mr. Huh of the National Assembly and the Chairman of the National Defense Committee do not know them well. The world’s best nuclear expert is Huh Kyung-young.

This is a story from 20 years ago. A story from 20 years ago. unification. Now, time is up, so… Looking at the three elements of unification, integration, North-South integration, this has no meaning now. Then, what comes after integration?

The three elements of unification. It is fusion and harmony. The reason I am telling you this is that there are integration, fusion, and harmony, which are the first, second, and third elements of unification. Then, what are the three elements of integration? What are the three elements of integration? Alliance, combination, and aggregation. This means to ally territories. This means to combine and aggregate. Now, what is fusion? Fusion. The three elements of fusion among the three elements of unification. I tell you every time, but you forget. Mixture. Our Park Chairman’s fermentation is included here. Come in. The three elements of harmony. What is it? you have to memorize it quickly. I will continue. The three elements of harmony are concession, communication, and benevolence, but can our people now concede among parents and children, neighbors, and siblings? Is there communication? No. Is there a spirit of benevolence? No. With such people, they talk about unification? First, educate them. Educate the people first. Let Huh Kyung-young appear on KBS and explain what unification is and the principles of unification for several hours. Let him appear.

There is not a single professor in South Korea who analyzes the principles of unification, such as concession, communication, benevolence, mixture, dissolution, fermentation, alliance, combination, and aggregation. we must concede to each other, communicate with each other, and be benevolent to each other. When the president received a call while in the Blue House, when the Sewol ferry capsized, he should have immediately flown to Jindo Port in 30 minutes by presidential helicopter. 300 people, dozens of people were sinking in the water, and when he was instructed from the Blue House, he should have immediately flown to the scene. If he took the presidential plane, he would arrive at Jindo Port in 30 minutes. Gather all the paratroopers, special forces, and UDT. Jump into the water. Pull everyone out. The president should have led from the front. There was no communication and no spirit of benevolence.

Public officials are only interested in such things. If there is no concession, communication, and benevolence, how can they covet other countries? Other countries. First, the Ministry of Unification must be abolished. Germany and all divided countries in the world did not have a Ministry of Unification. Why do we create a Ministry of Unification and receive misunderstandings from others? Others think we are trying to communize or absorb and unify by creating a Ministry of Unification. The Ministry of Unification must be abolished. Then, the Ministry of Gender Equality must be abolished. Are women disabled? Women and men are the same. There is no Ministry of Gender Equality or Ministry of Disabled Persons. There is a Women’s Bureau and a Disabled Persons’ Bureau within the Ministry of Health and Welfare. What is the Ministry of Gender Equality? The Ministry of Gender Equality. We need to save taxes. As long as there is a Ministry of Unification in our country, will unification happen? No, it will not.

If I am dating someone, and I create a Ministry of Dating or a Ministry of Marriage, the woman will be scared and run away. If you meet gradually and develop affection, marriage is secondary. If you date with marriage as a premise, strange things happen. North-South unification should also involve good dialogue, meeting separated families, and so on, and then later, “Hey, since we are like this, let us just do it together.” Then, we must insist to the end that we will not unify. Why would poor people want to live with rich people? I doubt that. We must continuously insist to North Korea that we will not unify.

Then, if people say, “We should unify with you, let us also live well,” then we can reluctantly say, “Then let us make the conditions more definite.” Then, when we unify Asia and the world, let us unify with North Korea. We cannot trust unifying alone. This is my goal. Do we want to end up like Vietnam? unification is something we should consider only when our spirit of concession, communication, and benevolence is firm, and when North Korea pleads for unification for decades. But our government has a Ministry of Unification? What kind of people are these?

I am so ashamed. It must be abolished. There were things I wanted to talk about in my lecture today, but I am too frustrated. These days, when people talk about constitutional amendments or unification, we should say, “Let us first solve the people’s livelihood problems.” Am I right or wrong? Solving the people’s livelihood, children’s education problems. Children should only take one subject for exams and receive lessons in ten subjects, but there should be no college entrance exam. If it is abolished, children only take one subject, so the girl comes home and helps her mother with bean sprouts and other chores. While doing that, she only needs to study one subject diligently. Then, for six years in middle and high school, a person who likes music only takes music exams. If the total score for music exams is 5,000 points, it is precisely determined which university they will go to. This is how it should be, not having a college entrance exam on one day that determines their fate for life. That is what mentally ill people do. for six years, a person who likes art only takes art exams, a person who likes Korean only takes Korean exams, and a person who likes English only takes English exams. The total score of that determines the university they should go to. Is it simple ? They only need to study one subject diligently. Then, do they need private tutoring fees? No. But what are they trying to do? Because they have done this, children are rebelling against their parents. Is there communication? No. Is there benevolence? No. A survey of children’s opinions shows that the scariest person is their mother. The scariest person. our country is going in the opposite direction of what I think. And our country is only going towards ruin.

Looking at the current politicians, you can tell the future of our country by looking at their faces. By looking at their faces. Not a single one of them has a proper face. Am I right or wrong? Today, I talked about this world, such as the Defiled Land, the Turbid World, Hell, This Shore, the Other Shore, the Saba World, and the Initial Mind. This world is a world that pursues Blessing. This Saba World also. Then, this Awakened Mind, which pursues Virtue, the word Awakened Mind is long. Awakened Mind, Pure Land, The Other Shore, Paradise, Heaven. The Heaven that Christianity talks about. Pure Land. Such things… people who are too diligent in temples or churches are ultimately the ones who cause world wars.

On Saturdays and Sundays, families should talk intimately with their mothers, but these religions drag parents and children out. Parents. children cannot see their parents on weekdays because they go to work, but on Saturdays and Sundays, they want to talk intimately with their mothers, but they go to church all day. They have separated children and parents for 50 or 60 years. Religions have. what happens to the children? They have no time to talk intimately with their children at home on Saturdays and Sundays. They are all called out. All of them. “You go home.” “I go to where the adults are.” Even in church, they are all separated, and there is no time to talk with their parents. That is South Korea. religions have all disappeared in Europe. Why do you think that is? Look closely.

Wise people are escaping from there. You too should now listen to Huh Kyung-young. You can call Huh Kyung-young. You who are here are already people who can go to paradise, but I am talking about what I see on the internet. You here do not need to change anything. You are all like Cheonsa. But our country is very dangerous, and I know everything about what North Korea will do and when. That is why I am not in a good mood now. I am here to stop such things, so you must listen to my words very carefully, and understand that this truth, this way we pursued Blessing, is absolutely not right. Religions sell what to all people? They sell Blessing. No one sells this. No one sells Virtue. Everyone is now praying for this. What is this? This is this.

This. That is why I lectured on this today. You must clearly understand the difference between Blessing and Virtue. Now, who is coming out? Over there. Park General, clear this away. Guest: It is supposed to hatch naturally… Speaker: These days, yes. These days, they hatch artificially, so the mother is no longer needed. These days, the mother is not needed. that chicken is not a fertilized egg. What we are talking about now, Simultaneous Hatching, means that for fertilized eggs, the mother and chick must be in sync. They must all peck. It must be Simultaneous Hatching, but these days, for natural hatching, the mother hen does not even exist.

it is called an unfertilized egg, not a fertilized egg. Unfertilized eggs are hatched by machine. Then, fertilized eggs must be pecked open. Unfertilized eggs are not pecked open. Unfertilized eggs are hatched by machine, so what? So… Guest: You asked a quiz question earlier, you should give the answer. About the pregnant woman doing this… Speaker: A pregnant woman smoking? No, do you not know what a pregnant woman smoking is called? Guests: Murmuring. Speaker: It is a heart-wrenching feeling (애 태우는 마음). It means to burn the child in the womb. It is not smoking a cigarette, but burning the child. That is why it is called a heart-wrenching feeling. A heart-wrenching feeling. No matter how much a woman, a newlywed couple, feels anxious, should they burn the child?

it is a heart-wrenching feeling. I forgot that. I was going to teach it earlier. It is called a heart-wrenching feeling. It is killing the child in the womb. Guest: Earlier, you said it becomes sin, but if you crave Blessing, it leads to death. Speaker: Death? the wages of sin are death. Sin leads to death or becoming disabled, that is fine. What? Please speak. You came after watching YouTube? How many times have you been here? Is this your second time?

Guest asks a question. Guest: When I talk to people around me, they look at me strangely. Speaker: There are still many such people among adults. Guest: My daughter says, “Mom likes and follows President Huh Kyung-young very much.” I keep watching YouTube at home. when I talk about it, she says, “Is your mom sick?” Speaker: Yes, yes. Guest: She tells me that. Speaker: Guest: In the past, Jesus and Buddha were also like that. Speaker: That is what you are saying now, but I have a set of supporters, and there are many. But there are still people trapped in television and various information. In the future, my book must come out. And the time will come when I will lecture on KBS public television. Guest: When will the book come out? Speaker: The book will come out soon. It will come out in a month or two, and then those people… I will advertise it on television. If I advertise it, it will appear on television. KBS will advertise my book. Because you can do it if you pay. From there, “Everyone, if you want to live in Korea, look at this. All the secrets to overcoming the recession are in Huh Kyung-young’s book. Everyone, are you having a very difficult time economically now? It is because you did not listen to me. Look at this book.” I will promote it like that. Then people will say, “What is this? What is he saying in the moonlight?” And they will start looking at the book.

What I like about that is that such a mindset among people is my noise marketing method. That is how my promotion is done well. Those people can become my fans at any time. Why? If I release a book, they will say, “What strange things did he say again? Let us see what he said that made people so excited,” and they will look at my book. As they look at it, they will… in the past, when people killed Jesus, all the Jews did that. If someone said they were going to Jesus, they would say, “Are you a fisherman? Did you only go to elementary school?” Such people went there. If someone who studied a bit followed Jesus, they would say, “Are you a boatman? Why are you following Jesus? That is where ignorant people follow.” But at that time, Jesus was the most knowledgeable person. But among the Jews, no one who studied followed Jesus. They were all ignorant people. everyone looked at him like that, and Jesus almost got killed when he went to his hometown.

What is that? the Son of Man cannot go to his hometown. He said that in his hometown, the Son of Man is rejected. “He was a kid who used to pick his nose in elementary school, and now he says he is the Messiah?” No, is that not ridiculous? An old woman from the village comes and slaps Jesus. “Hey, you rascal! you have grown old.” They treat the Messiah like this. And when he goes to his hometown, what an embarrassment. At that time, all the Jews treated Jesus like that. Who I am has changed a lot. They still think I only come to cure diseases. But that will later spread enormously to all people. people who study a lot in China, America, Canada, and so on call me. My fans. There are about 200 million worldwide, is 200 million small? Churches and such are ridiculous. There are so many. You cannot compare me to any church member. I have about 200 million supporters worldwide.

Also, did you see the JoongAng Ilbo poll, Park General, where Huh Kyung-young was ranked among the people people want to meet at Christmas? Park General, bring that. Make another copy of this and give it to people. This was not done by me, but by the JoongAng Ilbo. Guest: I already gave one to everyone. Speaker: you gave one to everyone? But why is that person…?

Guest: They are new. Speaker: Where is it? Where is it?

Speaker: Find it and read it. okay. Guest: Yes, it is here. Speaker: Yes, JoongAng Ilbo. A moment ago, the JoongAng Ilbo was here.

Guest: Murmuring. Supporter: President, I think you can stop now.

Questioner: Should we not bother trying to explain or promote it?

Speaker: Just tell them what you saw and do not overly… Where is it? Where is it?

Supporter: The person who came for the second time today is asking you various questions, President. Yes, everything takes time, and those daughters and people who cannot be here need to organize their thoughts to be synchronized. to explain that more broadly, it is Simultaneous Opportunity. please understand that. The structure of all society is also like that…

The Truth of Initial and Awakened Mind: The Truth of Blessings and Virtue by Huh kyung young

1. The Mundane World: A Realm of Illusion and Conflict
   This world, in Buddhist philosophy, is often referred to as the Saha world (사바세계). One might ponder why it bears such a designation. In Buddhist teachings, the Saha world is likened to building a sandcastle upon a woman. This analogy suggests that much of human endeavor—amassing wealth, pursuing honor—is often undertaken to impress or gain favor from women. Thus, the world is depicted as a precarious sandcastle built on a foundation that is inherently unstable, not even solid ground.

The character for “Ba” (婆) in Saha (사바) signifies a wave. Therefore, the Saha world can be perceived as a place where waves constantly crash upon this feminine foundation. It is observed that when the character for “woman” (女) is incorporated into other characters, it often denotes negative connotations. For instance, in words like “adultery” (간음) or “jealousy” (투기, 질투), the radical for “woman” is present, indicating a world fraught with such imperfections. Ancient Chinese character creators seemingly designed the language to reflect this perspective, where individuals are perpetually occupied with constructing these ephemeral sandcastles.

Many individuals, rather than dedicating themselves to profound study, are consumed by the pursuit of money. While some may relinquish this pursuit with age or financial hardship, for many, marital strife persists throughout their lives, leading to constant conflict. This perpetual struggle is precisely why this realm is termed the Saha world. In another context, this world is called This Shore (차안), a place akin to hell. Conversely, the opposite shore is known as The Other Shore (피안). The antithesis of the Saha world is the Land of Ultimate Bliss (극락세계). Our ultimate aspiration is to transcend the Saha world and reach the Land of Ultimate Bliss, to move from This Shore to The Other Shore. This journey necessitates a positive outlook, even in the face of adversity.

2. The Perilous Reality of the Saha World: A Personal Account
   During my time in Vietnam, on the very day of my arrival, eight individuals tragically perished. My adjacent room was a barbershop, and this was a military replacement unit. As I prepared to sleep in the barracks, a B-52 bomb detonated in the barbershop next door. The door was open, and the blast entered. The sea voyage to Vietnam had taken fifteen days. The ship took a circuitous route, passing through Manila in the Philippines, because the Soviets had reportedly laid mines, extending the journey by three days compared to the usual twelve. This was a measure to prevent military vessels from being destroyed.

The North Vietnamese forces had deployed mines in the sea to impede the arrival of South Korean troops. A ship striking a mine would result in the loss of all lives. During the two-week journey, I did not experience seasickness, unlike 90% of the others, which suggested their physical condition was not optimal.

The incident occurred in our Vietnamese barracks. Soldiers arriving from Korea were settling down to sleep, while others, preparing for repatriation, were getting haircuts in the barbershop. The bomb, instead of falling directly on the barracks, struck the roof of the barbershop, causing it to collapse. Those inside the barbershop, awaiting their return home, perished. The direction of the bomb’s trajectory determined who lived and who died. All eight individuals were annihilated, leaving no trace. The aftermath was chaotic, with sirens blaring. This was the White Horse Division’s replacement unit, where soldiers departing and arriving would get haircuts and await assignment. The barracks were structured with separate sections for those returning and those arriving, with the barbershop in the middle. The bomb struck precisely in the center of this building, resulting in the deaths of everyone inside.

The Order of Merit for National Foundation (건국훈장), which includes a stipend, is awarded to those injured in Vietnam. The death of eight soldiers in this incident starkly illustrated the contrast between paradise and hell. A mere wall separated these two extremes. Interestingly, even if a bomb exploded, the thin partitions in the barracks offered some protection due to internal bulletproof barriers. However, the barbershop, being an open space with mirrors and chairs, offered no such protection, leading to complete devastation upon impact. The barracks, with their concrete walls, were designed to prevent total casualties even from a direct hit. My experience there was a constant oscillation between the Land of Ultimate Bliss and hell. This is the nature of the Saha world.

3. Contrasting Realms: Saha, Pure Land, and Heaven
   The Saha world is contrasted with the Land of Ultimate Bliss. The journey from This Shore to The Other Shore involves crossing an “An” (岸), which signifies a shore or a bank. The opposite of hell is paradise. While the Saha world’s opposite is the Land of Ultimate Bliss, hell’s opposite is paradise.

Where then, is heaven? Heaven is the antithesis of the Turbid World (탁세). We currently reside in the Turbid World, also known as the Five Turbidities and Evil Age (오탁악세). Heaven is the opposite of this turbid existence. To transition from this impure land (예토) to the Pure Land (정토), one must accumulate blessings (복).

4. The Distinction Between Blessings and Virtue
   What exactly are blessings? Blessings are the recompense received for actions performed over three lifetimes: past, present, and future. It is the karmic reward for all good deeds accumulated across these three existences.

What then, is virtue (덕)? Virtue also involves the karmic recompense for good deeds across three lifetimes. However, the crucial difference lies in giving. If one accumulates many blessings in past and present lives and simply enjoys them—for instance, by marrying well and living a comfortable life—these blessings are ultimately squandered.

Conversely, if one takes the karmic rewards of good deeds from three lifetimes and bestows them upon others, like Bill Gates who uses his wealth to help the starving, uneducated, and sick in Africa, that is virtue. Those who cultivate virtue do not seek blessings for themselves. Thus, blessings and virtue are distinct. In the concept of the “House of Blessings and Virtue” (복덕궁), virtue holds a higher position than blessings. Blessings cannot overcome virtue. Similarly, evil cannot overcome good. There is a hierarchical order: evil cannot defeat good, good cannot defeat blessings, and blessings cannot defeat virtue. What then, cannot virtue defeat? Virtue cannot defeat Heaven.

When the character “Bi” (兆) is appended, it forms a sequence: evil, good, blessings, virtue, and Heaven. This signifies that evil is overcome by good, good by blessings, blessings by virtue, and only virtue can ascend to Heaven. Blessings, when merely received, often transform into poison and, more frequently, into sin. Indulging in a life of comfort, excessive eating, drinking, and infidelity can easily convert blessings into transgressions. Thus, blessings and sin are closely related.

Virtue, on the other hand, involves taking the blessings that come to oneself and redirecting them to others, sharing them with neighbors and the community. This act of giving to others is called merit (공덕). The character “Gong” (公) means to bestow or share. When virtue is bestowed upon others, it becomes merit. Merit benefits future generations; for example, if a father builds a bridge for the community, his family earns respect. Above merit is grace (은덕), and above that is benevolence (언덕). Thus, virtue also has a hierarchy. Even if we cannot achieve the highest forms, we should at least cultivate merit.

5. Initial Mind (초심) vs. Awakened Mind (발심)
   The Initial Mind (초심) is closely associated with blessings. People initially strive for personal well-being and material comfort, pursuing only blessings. However, when one achieves immense wealth, like Bill Gates, they may develop an Awakened Mind (발심). The Awakened Mind is an abbreviation for good deeds (선행). It is at this stage that one begins to cultivate virtue. Initially, people seek to receive blessings, often from parents through inheritance, driven by greed. But once they become wealthy, they transition to the Awakened Mind. The Initial Mind is characterized by desire and avarice. The Awakened Mind, however, signifies a commitment to realizing truth. This is why the Awakened Mind is profoundly important. The Initial Mind of humanity is tainted by greed.

Both Buddhism and Christianity emphasize the Initial Mind, but the Awakened Mind is equally crucial. The Awakened Mind can also be described as determination (결심). It is the resolve to perform good deeds.

There is a hierarchy of human qualities: human affection cannot overcome reason, reason cannot overcome law, law cannot overcome power, and power cannot overcome Heaven. For example, when Syngman Rhee engaged in electoral fraud, he seemed to control law and power, silencing dissent. Yet, Heaven ultimately removed him. This demonstrates that one cannot deceive Heaven.

Similarly, a courageous person cannot defeat a wise person. Just as evil cannot defeat good, courage cannot defeat wisdom. A wise person, in turn, cannot defeat a virtuous person. No matter how brilliant one’s wisdom, it cannot triumph over virtue. A strategist can defeat a warrior, but even the most brilliant strategist cannot defeat a virtuous leader. Zhuge Liang, despite his unparalleled wisdom, could not overcome Liu Bei’s virtue. Zhuge Liang lacked virtue, which is why he could not achieve what Liu Bei did. Virtue always occupies a higher position.

Even more significant than virtue is past karma (전생업보), or luck (운). For instance, Jeong Seong-hwa was a virtuous leader, but Chun Doo-hwan, despite being lower in rank, prevailed due to his luck. We must acknowledge this hierarchy. Someone born as Lee Jae-yong, the son of Lee Kun-hee, is said to have accumulated many blessings in a previous life. It is not a matter of chance; their past lives were different. People have different destinies, different karmic imprints. We must accept this. Therefore, no matter how virtuous or perfect one believes oneself to be, if they did not accumulate virtue in a past life, it is futile. If one took from others in a past life, they will find themselves lacking in this life. Those with luck are distinct. Luck, too, is connected to Heaven. When Chun Doo-hwan imprisoned Roh Tae-woo, those who had suppressed virtuous leaders eventually faced imprisonment themselves. When one’s luck runs out, they face consequences.

Even if individuals commit wrongdoing, they may wield power and authority as long as Heaven permits. No one can challenge them. This period of immunity is what is referred to as luck.

6. The Hierarchy of Truth: Falsehood, Fact, Truth, and Love
   No matter how much one seeks material possessions, it is inferior to seeking truth from others. Observing nature, one can see how a male fish’s left side, facing a female, turns red to attract her. This is a natural phenomenon. Similarly, seeking knowledge is inferior to listening.

Wisdom (지혜) is paramount. However, wisdom must always be subservient to virtue. One might acquire knowledge through questioning and listening, but if this knowledge is used cunningly, like Zhuge Liang, it is merely wisdom. Who then, possesses wisdom but does not act upon it, and who leads the wise? It is Liu Bei, the virtuous leader. He, being virtuous, does not need to ask or listen. He might discern that victory is possible but still order a retreat. Zhuge Liang might question why they should retreat when victory is assured. Liu Bei would respond that constant victory is not always beneficial, and soldiers need rest. Zhuge Liang might not comprehend this, but Liu Bei, with his immense virtue, prioritizes the well-being of his subordinates. He would say, “We have fought enough battles this year; let us cease”. Thus, virtue surpasses any strategic meeting.

Blessings, as previously stated, can easily transform into sin. Virtue, however, transforms into blessings. This creates a cycle where virtue becomes blessings, and blessings can again become virtue. However, some individuals allow their blessings to devolve into sin. Therefore, one must carefully navigate this fork in the road.

There is a hierarchy of concepts: falsehood (가) cannot overcome fact (실). Fact cannot overcome truth (진실). What then, cannot truth overcome? Truth cannot overcome love (사랑). Love is virtue. This is the natural order of things, and its significance is profound.

In 1930s America, a woman named Rich was falsely accused of murder. The jury suspected her of lying, and both the judge and jury believed she had committed the crime. She was cornered. However, she was not the killer. She had gone to collect money and found the victim already dead. She was implicated because she had untied the victim, whose arms were bound, leaving her fingerprints. Although her fingerprints were found, it was not definitive proof of murder, but her presence at the scene was a fact. She was framed. The court believed she was the culprit based on her appearance, as she resembled the only woman in the area who fit the description. She was identified by her red sweater, even though she had not been at the scene. She was sentenced to death.

This case was widely reported. Then, a highly respected public figure appeared in court. He declared, “This woman was with me on that day”. The judge, recognizing his prominence, rose and bowed. This figure knew she was innocent but lacked evidence to save her. His testimony led to her immediate release, and the investigation was reopened. Was his statement true or false? It was a lie. He had never met or seen the woman before. He simply read the newspaper and intervened to save her life. This became a famous anecdote in America. The true culprit was later apprehended.

This incident highlights the unreliability of judges, prosecutors, and juries. In this world, the false can masquerade as true, and the innocent can be condemned. The public figure’s lie, uttered to save a life, is considered truth. It transcends mere fact. It is closer to Heaven than fact. Thus, truth governs fact. This truth is imbued with love. His act was one of sacrifice, an act of love. This is the order of all things.

A courageous general cannot defeat a wise general, and a wise general cannot defeat a virtuous general. A virtuous general, however, cannot defeat luck. Blessings cannot defeat virtue. Therefore, one should not boast about having blessings for a spouse or children. Instead, one should conceal blessings and practice virtue, so that blessings may return in the next life. This creates a continuous cycle of giving and receiving. This world, the Saha world, is one that pursues blessings. The other world, closer to Heaven, is one that pursues virtue. We should strive towards the latter. Those who blindly seek, driven by the Initial Mind, pursue blessings.

7. The Power of Women and the Fragility of the Saha World
   The Saha world is fundamentally built upon women. Men, even highly educated professors, can have their careers and families ruined by a single misstep in their interactions with women. In contemporary society, it is easy to destroy a prominent person’s reputation. This implies that women possess the power to dismantle society. Building an excessive sandcastle upon women can lead to its collapse. However, this also signifies the immense power that women hold.

8. The Divine Order in Nature: Seeds and DNA
   Consider a tree seed, smaller than a fingernail, yet containing the blueprint for a magnificent 50-meter-tall pine tree. No engineer in the world can replicate such a seed. Within that tiny seed lies DNA, which predetermines the tree’s height and shape. It also dictates that root DNA grows downwards into the earth, while stem DNA grows upwards. This intricate design, where each part has a predetermined role, is evidence of a divine creator. The universe was not created by chance. No scientist can create a single sesame seed or a grain of rice. Even with billions of years of scientific advancement, we might never be able to create a single seed. This same DNA exists within the human body. I possess the ability to alter DNA at will, whether it be in trees, people, or even inanimate objects like water or milk. Reflect deeply on the seed; it contains the order of the universe.

The seed is programmed to provide oxygen to humans and absorb the carbon dioxide they exhale. Humans, in turn, breathe the oxygen produced by trees. This reciprocal exchange is a divine creation, not a mere accident. Meditate on such natural principles. The natural order dictates that trees and plants consume the carbon dioxide produced by animals and humans, and in return, they diligently provide us with oxygen.

If one were to enter an arboretum or a theater, an admission fee would be required. However, we observe the beauty of nature—the sky, a single seed, a single tree—all for free. We are incredibly fortunate to be able to appreciate all of this without cost. These intricate designs are all evidence of a divine presence. The way branches grow upwards and roots downwards, and the diverse forms of animal life, all point to a divine creator.

9. The Unified World and the Bodhisattva Path
   There is a unified world in Buddhism, a world that combines all these concepts. This is represented by a long phrase: “Bal Anok Dara Sam Yak Sam Bo Ori Sal Ta Sim” (발아뇩다라삼먁삼보리살타심). This lengthy phrase, consisting of thirteen characters, is abbreviated to Balshim (발심), taking the first and last characters. The concept of “Yeong Gu Bul Bal Sim” (영구불발심) signifies transcending this world and attaining all truths.

This phrase can also be expressed by combining two other characters: “Bo” (보) and “Sal” (살), which together form Bodhisattva (보살). In Buddhism, a Bodhisattva is someone who has cultivated the Awakened Mind, not merely the Initial Mind. The full term for Bodhisattva is “Bo Ri Sal Ta” (보리살타). Thus, Bodhisattva refers to the mind of Bo Ri Sal Ta. When one speaks of cultivating the Awakened Mind, it means dedicating one’s life entirely to truth. In Buddhism, such a person is called a Bodhisattva. In Christianity, such individuals are referred to as deacons, evangelists, or elders. The phrase “Sam Yak Sam Bo Ri” (삼약삼보리) refers to the truth of the universe. It signifies a determination to follow this truth.

This concept is akin to a seed (종자). One must possess a good seed. A seed inherently contains the destiny of the tree it will become. When one cultivates the Awakened Mind, the seed of truth is planted in their heart. The future of the Earth faces a seed war. Many nations, like the United States, monopolize seeds. Korea has lost control of its seeds. We now import soybean and rice seeds to farm. Other nations possess seed banks and mass-produce seeds. Korea, having consumed its seeds, now lacks them. This mismanagement of seeds has left the nation vulnerable.

Western nations have genetically modified seeds to resist pesticides and other challenges, creating GMOs. We are now compelled to use these seeds. This reliance on seeds will lead to a severe crisis in the future, culminating in a food war, with seed war being the initial phase. If seed supplies are withheld from nations like North Korea, they will be unable to farm. This demonstrates how seeds are becoming a weapon.

10. The Green Spectacles of Truth
    Imagine a king who desired to transform the entire world green. His ministers were tasked with this, regardless of cost. One minister, however, accomplished this in just an hour. How? He presented the king with green spectacles. When the king wore them, everything appeared green—people’s faces, everything. He exclaimed, “Now I can live!”.

The long phrase “Bal Anok Dara Sam Yak Sam Bo Ori Sal Ta Sim” is precisely these spectacles. It is the spectacles of truth. If you resolve to approach truth, you must wear these spectacles. However, many are unwilling to wear them, clinging to their stubbornness and ego. This mindset must change; one must change their spectacles.

11. The Synchronized Hatching (졸탁동시) and Escaping the Saha World
    The concept of synchronized hatching (졸탁동시) refers to the chick pecking from inside the egg while the mother hen pecks from the outside, allowing the chick to hatch. If the chick remains passive, synchronized hatching cannot occur. If the mother hen makes a mistake, a weak chick emerges. A healthy chick requires precise synchronized hatching.

Humans, however, are trapped in the Saha world. They are confined by greed, anger, and foolishness (탐진치). These three vices are intertwined: even if one is greedy, wisdom might mitigate it, but when greed, anger, and foolishness combine, it creates a formidable trap. When a divine force attempts to intervene, humans, trapped by these vices, cannot achieve synchronized hatching. The character “Si” (時) in synchronized hatching signifies timing. Missing the opportune moment is critical.

My lectures aim to help individuals break free from the confines of greed, anger, and foolishness. Eliminating these allows one to become one with the universe and its seven billion inhabitants. However, people cling to “mine”—my possessions, my spouse, my children. This possessiveness, combined with greed, anger, and foolishness, prevents unity with the universe. To achieve virtue, one must shatter these chains.

There is also the concept of synchronized motivation (졸탁동기). I, Huh kyung young, provide the motivation to break free. While the chick is ready to emerge, there is no external signal. Some, like Buddha, struggle to break free. But many humans find comfort within their greed, anger, and foolishness, content to remain like silkworms in their cocoons. This is unacceptable. It is time to emerge. Humanity is meant to cultivate true human beings on Earth, yet none are emerging.

I am here to provide the external impetus, the synchronized motivation. My lectures, disseminated through platforms like YouTube, serve this purpose. This camera, for instance, is a tool for synchronized motivation. If everyone comprehends this and breaks free from the stagnant air within, they will become one with the universe, forming a collective. This collective is what is called virtue. Remaining passively within is called blessings. If one remains within, these blessings will transform into sin. Therefore, virtue is the act of receiving blessings and then redirecting them to others.

What do you call a pregnant woman who smokes? It is “burning the child’s heart” (애 태우는 마음). It means burning the child within the womb, not merely smoking.

12. The Messiah’s Role and the Cycle of Earth
    My teachings, encompassing both Christian and Buddhist concepts of heaven and the Land of Ultimate Bliss, are for everyone. The Messiah has arrived to provide synchronized motivation.

How often do ice ages occur on Earth? Scientists have determined that glaciers are 130,000 years old. This 130,000-year cycle involves glaciers melting and reforming. The Earth’s age is approximately 129,600 years. This number is derived from multiplying 360 by 360, representing the Earth’s 360-degree orbit around the sun. Every 129,600 years, an ice age occurs. The current human civilization is less than 10,000 years old. Christian history spans 6,000 to 7,000 years. Within this 129,600-year cycle, glaciers form, and the Earth enters a dormant period, remaining frozen for a long time. Then, the glaciers melt, nature sprouts, animals emerge, and humans are created. Every living being—a butterfly, a bird, a deer, a human—is meticulously designed. Humanity originates from a world beyond your imagination and has come to Earth. Earth is a living educational facility.

During this 129,600-year period, humans receive education. Worthy souls are salvaged, while others, who fail, must repeat the cycle, returning to Earth for further education. Buddha continuously spoke of this cycle, and I, having come for such beings, continue to teach you. By quickly shedding these attachments, you can move on to the next world.

Is there joy in this world? The Saha world, supported by women, may seem joyful, but it is not. To transition from this world to the next, one must cross the sea of suffering (고해의 바다). The vessel for this journey is now Huh kyung young. Taking the ship of Huh kyung young allows one to traverse this sea of suffering. I am here to transport you from this shore to the other, disseminating my message through the internet.

13. The Perils of Organized Religion and the Coming Nuclear War
    Some may question why I, Huh kyung young, do not establish a religion or an organization, yet aim to become president and unify the world. The truth is, all religions are artificial. Heaven most fears religious adherents. Christians, Buddhists, Muslims—these religious followers are the most disliked by Heaven. Do you know who a pastor fears most in church? Those who donate generously, tithe faithfully, and evangelize effectively. Their gaze often challenges the pastor. Similarly, religious people challenge God and Huh kyung young. It was fervent, devout religious individuals, not ordinary people, who crucified Jesus.

Today, pastors are cornered by zealous congregants who judge others, including the pastor himself. They believe they are superior due to their donations and adherence to rules, leading to religious conflicts that plunge the world into war. In the future, Islam will acquire nuclear weapons, which will be launched at New York. When a world war erupts, we will perish helplessly. I am here to prevent this. This is not a lie; preparations are underway. ISIS offers a glimpse of this brutality. Soon, Iran will develop nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles. These will fall on American cities like New York, Washington, and San Francisco, triggering a global nuclear war. Our children will burn to death before our eyes, melting in the nuclear fire. There will be nowhere to hide, as nuclear fallout will contaminate everything. The Fukushima nuclear disaster is insignificant compared to this.

Who will cause this world war? Islamic religions. Therefore, I, Huh kyung young, do not advocate for religion. I merely explain the principles of religion; I do not encourage you to adopt one. You yourselves must become Jesus, you yourselves must become Buddha. The “Bal Anok Dara Sam Yak Sam Bo Ori Sal Ta Sim” is what Buddhism says is necessary to cross the sea of suffering. But I am beyond religion; simply call upon Huh kyung young. I do not accept donations or practice religion. I am here to genuinely help you. I have come to this world with synchronized motivation. You must internalize this.

99. 9% of humanity remains trapped within the egg. With the advent of the internet, I have appeared to transform humanity worldwide through online platforms and television. This transformation is imminent.

100. Political Endorsements and the Future of Korea
     Kim Yoon-ok, the former First Lady, expressed her support for Huh kyung young. This is documented in President Lee Myung-bak’s memoir. The memoir’s appendix contains a section titled “Kim Yoon-ok’s Endorsement of Huh kyung young”. It states, “If President Lee Myung-bak donates his assets, Kim Yoon-ok will support Huh kyung young”. Another entry reads, “I will support presidential candidate Huh kyung young,” accompanied by Kim Yoon-ok’s photo. This indicates that even the First Lady was aware of Huh kyung young.

Kim Yoon-ok reportedly told Ryu Woo-ik, President Lee Myung-bak’s chief of staff, “If I donate all my assets, how will I marry off my children? I will consult with my son and support Huh kyung young. Since candidate Huh kyung young promises to give hundreds of millions of won to newlyweds, we will support him.”. Ryu Woo-ik was reportedly astonished. This personal anecdote is unique in the memoir, which otherwise contains only formal accounts. This suggests that people are widely aware of my policies.

The inclusion of this story in the memoir, despite extensive review by former ministers and publishers, indicates that those in the Blue House were aware of Huh kyung young’s popularity. This serves as a significant endorsement. Kim Yoon-ok possesses a pure nature. Their decision to include this content demonstrates that I command significant support among young people. They hoped their autobiography would also appeal to a younger audience. The main part of the book, detailing presidential duties, is dry and unread. Only this section is read, and its inclusion has led to frequent television appearances for me. I appear on television due to my policies.

15. My Nuclear Disarmament Proposal
    When I visited the United States, I discussed North Korea’s plutonium project with President Bush. The U.S. proposed a plan to “completely, verifiably, and permanently eliminate” North Korea’s nuclear program. However, they allowed North Korea, Iran, and Pakistan to retain their nuclear capabilities. This has led to the proliferation of nuclear technology to Islamic countries.

My proposal for nuclear disarmament is different: “fully, verifiably, and irreversibly dismantle”. “Irreversibly” means it cannot be reversed. “Dismantle” means to completely abolish nuclear weapons. This approach allows North Korea to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes while fully eliminating its weapons program. This is a proposal that North Korea could accept. The U.S., however, continues to tolerate nuclear weapons in Iran, Pakistan, India, and Israel. This will lead to the transfer of North Korean nuclear technology to Islamic nations. Consequently, the world faces a future of religious nuclear warfare.

ISIS, for example, emulates historical Catholic practices, such as burning 500,000 people at the stake for religious differences. This brutality is documented in their scriptures, as well as in the Bible. Such religions will inevitably lead to religious wars between Islam and Catholicism, both formidable forces. When I discussed nuclear issues in the U.S., they only focused on North Korea, showing no genuine will to resolve the issue. They reject a softer approach.

Many underestimate the threat of nuclear weapons. A single nuclear bomb on Namsan in Seoul could eliminate 30 million people due to population density. A bag of radioactive dust in the Paldang Dam could render the Han River water undrinkable for centuries, making Seoul uninhabitable. These are simple yet terrifying threats posed by those who do not fear death.

You do not realize the gravity of the situation: if Huh kyung young does not become president of South Korea and unify the world quickly, disaster awaits. Twenty-five years ago, when I proposed giving 100 million won for marriage and 30 million won for childbirth, people called me crazy. Had my policies been implemented then, Korea’s population would be 80 million, per capita income 80,000 dollars, making it the world’s number one nation. Yet, people dismissed my words. This world is fraught with such dangers.

16. Lessons from Vietnam and the Dangers of Premature Unification
    France guaranteed peace in Vietnam, and Kissinger held six-party talks, leading to the withdrawal of U.S. and South Korean troops. I was among those who withdrew. A month before my withdrawal, Vietnam fell to communism. Viet Cong flags were everywhere, even before the North Vietnamese army arrived. Then, the U.S. ordered the White Horse Division to withdraw. Thousands of soldiers were evacuated daily by large planes from Nha Trang airport. I was on the very last flight.

The last flight carried many high-ranking officers, resulting in a heavy load of luggage. The plane failed to take off from the short Nha Trang runway. It stopped at the end of the runway. We disembarked, but the cargo remained. They drained two hours’ worth of fuel, then the plane took off, heading to Da Nang airport to refuel. Da Nang airport was ten times longer than Nha Trang, designed for bombing missions. The plane barely lifted off after the fuel was drained.

The journey to the airport was a full-scale withdrawal operation, covering about 10 kilometers. We traveled in full combat gear, fighting our way to the airport, as Vietnam was completely communist. Even after reaching the airport, we were stranded for three days, sleeping on the ground, waiting for flights. Finally, our plane, carrying the division headquarters staff, including the division commander, attempted to take off but failed. It then flew to Da Nang, refueled, and took off two hours later. From the air, we saw hundreds of North Vietnamese bombers lined up at Da Nang airport. Days after our withdrawal, Vietnam became communist.

France’s guarantee and Kissinger’s six-party talks led to a North-South agreement, but within a month, Vietnam fell. Therefore, South Korea must never unify with North Korea; it would lead to our demise. Any unification with North Korea would mean the end of the Republic of Korea. The current discussions in the Blue House about unification are nonsensical. We must be cautious. Unification with North Korea should be delayed as long as possible. I project world unification in 2030 and Asian unification in 2025, with North Korea’s unification in 2029. People are forming unification committees, but unification with communism is unthinkable.

When Germany unified, West Germany’s GNP was three times that of East Germany. South Korea’s GNP is 40 times that of North Korea. Unifying now would lead to mutual destruction. Our shipbuilding industry, the world’s number one, would collapse, leading to 3 million unemployed. If North Korea transports cargo to Russia, our shipping industry would be ruined. Japanese goods would be transported by train, destroying our industries. Connecting railways to Russia or Europe would devastate our nation. We must not operate such routes.

Our shipping and shipbuilding industries employ many people. Their collapse would be an economic catastrophe. The idea of transporting Siberian gas by train is a fantasy. Cheap gas is readily available by ship from the U.S.. This would cause countless subcontractors in the shipbuilding industry to close. No country with a 40:1 GNP disparity has successfully unified. Unification is only feasible when the economies are similar. Even in Germany, West Germans resent paying higher taxes due to East Germans. With a 40:1 disparity, we would face even greater problems. Yet, politicians prioritize unification and constitutional amendments over the people’s livelihoods. I am not criticizing the government, but they must be clear-headed.

What is unification? Our internal unification is more urgent. We must unify families first. How can we talk about national unification when educational policies have alienated parents and children?. If North and South Korea unify now, it would be the most dangerous time. North Korean women would become mistresses to wealthy South Korean men. Businessmen would flock to North Korea with money to buy young women. This is an obvious outcome. Why should we unify for the sake of these wealthy individuals while laborers starve?.

Therefore, the term “unification” should not be used carelessly. I do not oppose the presidency, but those who speak lightly of unification should read books if they have nothing else to do. I am the world’s foremost expert on unification. Even parliamentary and defense committee members are unaware of these nuclear issues. These are matters I discussed 20 years ago.

The three elements of unification are integration, convergence, and harmony. Integration has three sub-elements: alliance, combination, and aggregation, referring to territorial unification. Convergence has three sub-elements: mixture, dissolution, and fermentation. Harmony has three sub-elements: concession, communication, and benevolence. Do Koreans currently practice concession, communication, and benevolence among families, neighbors, and siblings? No. How can we unify with such a populace? We must first educate the people. I should be featured on KBS to explain the principles of unification for hours. There is no professor in Korea who analyzes these principles of unification.

We must practice concession, communication, and benevolence. When the Sewol ferry capsized, the president should have immediately flown to Jindo Port by presidential helicopter within 30 minutes. With hundreds drowning, the president should have been on-site, directing special forces and UDT teams to rescue them. This lack of communication and benevolence is evident. Public officials are only interested in their own affairs. How can we aspire to other nations when we lack concession, communication, and benevolence?.

First, the Ministry of Unification must be abolished. Germany and other divided nations did not have such ministries. Why do we maintain one, inviting misunderstanding that we seek to absorb North Korea?. The Ministry of Unification must be abolished. Next, the Ministry of Gender Equality must be abolished. Are women disabled? Men and women are equal. Ministries for women or the disabled are unnecessary. Instead, there should be bureaus for women and the disabled within the Ministry of Health and Welfare. We must save taxes. As long as the Ministry of Unification exists, unification will not occur.

If one creates a “Dating Ministry” or “Marriage Ministry” while dating, the partner will flee. Marriage is a natural outcome of developing affection. Similarly, North-South unification should occur naturally through dialogue and family reunions. We should insist that we will not unify. Why should the poor unify with the rich? I find that suspicious. We must continuously assert that we will not unify with North Korea. Then, when they plead for unification, saying they want to live well too, we can reluctantly consider it and set clear conditions. We should unify with North Korea only when we unify Asia and the world. Unifying only with North Korea is untrustworthy. We must avoid becoming like Vietnam. Unification should only happen when we have strong principles of concession, communication, and benevolence, and when North Korea has pleaded for decades. The existence of our Ministry of Unification is shameful.

I have many things I wish to convey in this lecture, but I am frustrated. When people talk about constitutional amendments or unification, we should demand that they first address the people’s livelihoods. We must solve livelihood issues and children’s education. Students should only be tested on one subject, even if they attend ten classes, and the college entrance exam should be abolished. If the exam is abolished, children can help their mothers at home and focus on one subject. For six years, from middle school to high school, a student who loves music would only take music exams. Their total score would determine their university placement. This is far better than a single college entrance exam determining one’s entire life. This is what mentally ill people do. Instead, for six years, those who love art would take art exams, those who love Korean language would take Korean language exams, and those who love English would take English exams. Their total scores would determine their university. This is simple and eliminates the need for private tutoring.

The current system causes children to rebel against their parents. There is no communication or benevolence. Surveys show that mothers are the most feared figures for children. Korea is moving in the opposite direction of what I envision. It is heading towards ruin. The future of Korea is reflected in the faces of its politicians.

Today, I have discussed realms like the impure land, the turbid world, hell, This Shore, the Saha world, and the Initial Mind. These are worlds that pursue blessings. The Awakened Mind, though a long phrase, leads to the Land of Ultimate Bliss, The Other Shore, paradise, Heaven (as described in Christianity), and the Pure Land. Those who are overly zealous in temples or churches ultimately instigate world wars. On Saturdays and Sundays, families should be conversing, but religions pull parents and children away. Parents are at work during weekdays, so weekends are crucial for family time, yet they spend all day at church. Religions have separated children and parents for 50 to 60 years. Children have no time to talk with their parents on weekends. Everyone is called away, separated, with no time for family conversation. This is Korea. This is why religion has disappeared in Europe. Wise people are abandoning it.

You should listen to Huh kyung young. You can call upon Huh kyung young. Those present here are already capable of going to paradise, but I am speaking to the internet audience. You here are like angels. However, Korea is in great danger. I know exactly what North Korea will do. Therefore, I am not pleased. I am here to prevent these things, so you must heed my words. We have pursued blessings, but that is absolutely wrong. Religions sell blessings to people. No one sells virtue. Everyone is praying for blessings. This is what I have lectured on today. You must clearly understand the difference between blessings and virtue.

In artificial incubation, the mother hen is no longer needed. Unfertilized eggs are hatched by machines. However, fertilized eggs still require synchronized hatching, with both the mother and chick pecking at the right time.

When people question my supporters, especially among the older generation, they may be seen as strange. My daughter once told me that her friends asked if her mother was ill because she liked and followed Huh kyung young, constantly watching my YouTube videos. This was also the case for Jesus and Buddha. While many people are confined by television and other information, my supporters are numerous. My book will be released soon, and I will appear on KBS to lecture. When my book comes out, I will advertise it on television. I will declare, “If you want Korea to thrive, look here! All the secrets to overcoming recession are in Huh kyung young’s book. Are you struggling economically? It’s because you haven’t listened to me. Read this book.”. People will wonder what I am saying, but they will read the book. This is my noise marketing strategy. It is effective promotion. These people can become my fans at any time. When I release a book, they will wonder what strange things I have said and why people are so excited, leading them to read it.

In ancient times, when people killed Jesus, it was often the Jews who did so. If someone went to Jesus, they would be scorned as uneducated. Those who considered themselves educated would mock anyone following Jesus, saying it was for the ignorant. Yet, Jesus was the most knowledgeable person of his time. However, among the Jews, no educated person followed Jesus; only the uneducated did. Jesus was almost killed in his hometown. He said that a prophet is not honored in his hometown. People would say, “He was just a snot-nosed kid in elementary school; how can he be the Messiah?”. An old woman from the village might even slap Jesus, saying, “You’ve grown so old!”. This is how the Jews treated Jesus. My identity has changed significantly. People still think I am here only to cure illnesses. However, my message will eventually spread widely. Educated people from China, the U.S., and Canada call me. I have about 200 million fans worldwide. This is far more than any church congregation.

The JoongAng Ilbo newspaper conducted a poll on whom people would like to meet at Christmas, and Huh kyung young was on the list. This was not my doing; it was the JoongAng Ilbo. You do not need to try to convince people. Just tell them what you have seen. Everything takes time. Those who are not here, like your daughter, need time to process their thoughts and synchronize. This is synchronized motivation.

The Truth of Initial and Awakened Mind: Navigating Blessings and Virtue

Huh Kyung-young’s lecture delves into profound spiritual and societal concepts, beginning with the Buddhist notion of “Saba World” (Sahā-lokadhātu). This world, he explains, is likened to building a sandcastle on a woman, symbolizing how much of human endeavor—earning money, seeking fame—is driven by a desire to impress women. He notes that in Chinese characters, the radical for “woman” (女) often appears in negative terms like adultery, jealousy, and envy, suggesting a world corrupted by such influences. This “Saba World” is also referred to as “This Shore” (此岸), a hell-like existence, contrasted with “The Other Shore” (彼岸), which represents paradise or the “Pure Land” (極樂世界).

The journey from “This Shore” to “The Other Shore” requires understanding the distinction between blessings (福) and virtue (德). Blessings are defined as the rewards received for good deeds accumulated over three lifetimes—past, present, and future. However, merely enjoying these blessings, such as living a comfortable life with a good spouse, can lead to their depletion. Virtue, on the other hand, involves using one’s blessings to help others, like Bill Gates dedicating his wealth to aid the starving and uneducated in Africa. Accumulating virtue means not seeking blessings for oneself. a hierarchy: evil cannot overcome good, good cannot overcome blessings, blessings cannot overcome virtue, and virtue cannot overcome heaven. He warns that blessings, if merely consumed, often transform into sin, leading to ailments like diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Virtue, by contrast, is giving one’s blessings to others, which he calls “merit” (功德). This merit ensures positive outcomes for future generations.

The lecture then introduces the concepts of “Initial Mind” (初志) and “Awakened Mind” (發心). The Initial Mind is driven by selfish desires for personal well-being and material gain, akin to greed. The Awakened Mind, however, signifies a commitment to truth and a willingness to act virtuously, like a billionaire who, after achieving wealth, decides to dedicate themselves to philanthropy. This Awakened Mind is crucial, representing a firm resolve to do good.

Huh Kyung-young presents a hierarchy of values: falsehood cannot overcome fact, fact cannot overcome truth, and truth cannot overcome love. Love, he equates with virtue. He illustrates this with a famous American anecdote from 1930 about a woman named Rich accused of murder. Despite overwhelming circumstantial evidence and her fingerprints at the scene, a highly respected public figure falsely testified that she was with him at the time, securing her release. This “lie” was, in fact, a higher truth, an act of love that saved a life, demonstrating that truth, when imbued with love, transcends mere facts.

He also discusses the concept of “Joltakdongsi” (啐啄同時), which describes the simultaneous pecking of a chick from inside its egg and the mother hen from outside, allowing the chick to hatch. He applies this metaphor to humanity, trapped in the “Saba World” by greed, anger, and foolishness (貪瞋癡). Humans are stuck in a cycle of “mine”—my possessions, my family—preventing unity with the universe. Huh Kyung-young positions his lectures as the external “pecking” (동기 부여, motivation) to help people break free from this confinement and embrace virtue. Remaining in the egg, clinging to blessings, ultimately leads to sin.

The lecture touches upon the cyclical nature of Earth’s ice ages, occurring every 129,600 years, a number derived from 360 multiplied by 360, representing Earth’s orbit around the sun. This cycle suggests that Earth is a “biological training ground” where souls are educated over vast periods. religious institutions, despite their claims, often lead to conflict and division, even separating families on weekends. He advocates for individuals to become their own “Buddha” or “Jesus” rather than adhering to organized religion.

Huh Kyung-young also addresses critical geopolitical issues, including the impending “seed war” where nations monopolize agricultural seeds, threatening global food security. He warns of a future religious nuclear war, particularly involving Islamic nations, which he believes will lead to global catastrophe. He criticizes the idea of immediate reunification with North Korea, citing the vast economic disparity (40:1 GDP ratio) and the potential collapse of South Korea’s economy, particularly its shipping and shipbuilding industries. He suggests that unification should only occur when North Korea earnestly seeks it and South Korea has cultivated a spirit of concession, communication, and universal love (양보, 소통, 박애). He also advocates for the abolition of the Ministry of Unification and the Ministry of Gender Equality, arguing they are unnecessary and counterproductive. Education reform is also highlighted, proposing a system where students focus on a single subject for six years, eliminating the high-stakes college entrance exam.

In essence, Huh Kyung-young’s lecture urges a shift from self-serving “Initial Mind” to a virtuous “Awakened Mind,” emphasizing that true fulfillment comes not from accumulating blessings but from using them to benefit others. He presents a vision of spiritual awakening and societal transformation, advocating for love, virtue, and a critical re-evaluation of religious and political structures to navigate humanity’s challenges and achieve a harmonious future.

2. Core Messages
3. Virtue (덕) transcends Blessings (복).

• Quote: “복은 뭘 못 이겨요? 덕을 못 이겨.” (Blessings cannot overcome virtue.)
• Explanation: Blessings are personal rewards for past good deeds, but if merely consumed, they can lead to negative outcomes. Virtue, however, involves using one’s blessings to benefit others, which is a higher spiritual act.

2. The “Awakened Mind” (발심) is a commitment to truth and selflessness, moving beyond the “Initial Mind” (초심) of greed.

• Quote: “초심은 욕심이야. 초심은 탐욕이야. 발심은 이제 자기가 진리를 깨닫겠다 하는게 발심이야.” (Initial Mind is greed. Initial Mind is avarice. Awakened Mind is the resolve to realize truth.)
• Explanation: The Initial Mind is driven by selfish desires for personal gain, while the Awakened Mind signifies a profound decision to pursue universal truth and act for the greater good, akin to a Bodhisattva.

3. To truly see the world, one must change their “glasses” to the “glasses of truth.”

• Quote: “여러분들에게 이 발 아 뇩 다 라 삼 약 삼 보 리 살 타 심 이 뭐냐면 우리가 써야 되는 안경이야. 발 심. 내가 진리에 접근하겠다 라고 하면 여러분이 그런 안경을 쓰면 되는 거야. 진리안경.” (This “Bal Anok Dala Samnyak Sambodhi Sattva Shim” is the glasses we must wear. Awakened Mind. If you resolve to approach truth, you wear those glasses. Truth-glasses.)
• Explanation: Our perception of the world is shaped by our mindset. To move beyond the illusions and suffering of the Saha World, one must adopt a perspective rooted in truth and enlightenment, symbolized by wearing “truth-glasses.”

4. Remaining stagnant in personal blessings leads to sin, while sharing blessings transforms them into virtue.

• Quote: “이 안에서 가만히 있는 걸 뭐라 그래? 복이라 그래. 여기서 자기 혼자 편안하게 그냥 있겠다는거야. 그냥 그래 가지고 이 복이 뭐로 변한다고 안 나오면은 죄로 변해버려요.” (What do you call staying still inside? Blessings. You just want to stay comfortable by yourself. If you don’t come out, these blessings turn into sin.)
• Explanation: Simply receiving and enjoying blessings without contributing to others or seeking higher truth can lead to spiritual stagnation and negative consequences. True virtue comes from actively giving and sharing.

5. Religious institutions often hinder true spiritual progress by focusing on external rituals and creating division, rather than fostering individual enlightenment.

• Quote: “절이나 교회에 너무 열심히 다니는 사람들이 결국 세계 전쟁을 일으킨다는 겁니다. 토요일날 일요일날 가족들하고 오손도손 엄마하고 대화해야 되는데 이 종교들은 부모와 자식을 바깥으로 끄집어내버려.” (People who diligently attend temples or churches ultimately cause world wars. On Saturdays and Sundays, families should be having intimate conversations with their mothers, but these religions pull parents and children outside.)
• Explanation: While appearing to promote good, rigid religious adherence can lead to conflict and distract individuals from genuine self-reflection and family connection, which are crucial for spiritual growth.

3. Detailed Summary

The Nature of the Saha World (사바세계)

• Topic: The Earthly Realm as a Place of Suffering and Illusion.
• Main Assertions: The world we live in is called the “Saha World” in Buddhism, a realm characterized by endurance and suffering. This suffering often stems from human attachments, particularly to women, wealth, and honor, which are metaphorically described as “building sandcastles on a woman.” This implies that many human endeavors are driven by superficial desires and lead to instability.
• Analogies/Examples:
  • “Building sandcastles on a woman” (여자 위에다가 모래성을 쌓는 거야) : Illustrates the unstable and ultimately futile nature of pursuits driven by desire to impress or gain favor from women.
  • Words like “adultery” (간음), “speculation” (투기), and “jealousy” (질투) in Chinese characters often contain the radical for “woman” (女), suggesting a historical perception of women being associated with negative aspects of the world.
• Practical Message: Humans are often too busy chasing money and honor, neglecting spiritual growth, leading to lifelong conflicts and dissatisfaction.

From This Shore (此岸) to The Other Shore (彼岸)

• Topic: The Spiritual Journey from Suffering to Paradise.
• Main Assertions: In Buddhist philosophy, the Saha World is also referred to as “This Shore” (차안), which is likened to a hellish existence. The ultimate goal is to reach “The Other Shore” (피안), which represents paradise or the Pure Land (극락세계). This transition requires a shift in mindset and actions.
• Analogies/Examples:
  • “This Shore” (차안) as a “hell-like world” (지옥 같은 세상이다).
  • “The Other Shore” (피안) as “paradise” (극락세계).
• Practical Message: One should always strive to think positively and move towards a better state of being, transcending the suffering of the present world.

The Distinction Between Blessings (복) and Virtue (덕)

• Topic: Understanding the True Meaning of Spiritual Rewards.
• Main Assertions: Blessings (복) are the rewards received for good deeds accumulated over three lifetimes (past, present, future). However, merely enjoying these blessings for oneself, such as living a comfortable life with a good spouse, can lead to their depletion or even transformation into sin. Virtue (덕), on the other hand, is the act of sharing one’s blessings with others, like Bill Gates using his wealth for philanthropy. Virtue is a higher concept than blessings.
• Analogies/Examples:
  • “If you receive and enjoy many blessings in this life, meeting a good husband and living a comfortable life, you waste all your blessings.”
  • Bill Gates donating his wealth to help starving children in Africa, provide education, or cure diseases is an example of accumulating virtue.
  • A hierarchical order: Evil < Good < Blessings < Virtue < Heaven.
• Practical Message: Do not merely seek or consume blessings for personal gain. Instead, cultivate virtue by sharing what you have with others, as this leads to a higher spiritual state and lasting positive impact.

The “Awakened Mind” (발심) and the Bodhisattva (보살)

• Topic: The Transformation from Selfish Desire to Enlightened Action.
• Main Assertions: The “Initial Mind” (초심) is characterized by greed and selfish desires, such as seeking wealth or inheritance. The “Awakened Mind” (발심) represents a profound shift, a commitment to realizing truth and engaging in benevolent actions. This “Awakened Mind” is crucial for spiritual growth and is linked to the Buddhist concept of a Bodhisattva, a being who postpones their own nirvana to help others achieve enlightenment.
• Analogies/Examples:
  • A rich person like Bill Gates, after accumulating wealth (Initial Mind), then engages in philanthropy (Awakened Mind).
  • The long Sanskrit phrase “Bal Anok Dala Samnyak Sambodhi Sattva Shim” (발 아 뇩 다 라 삼 약 삼 보 오 리 살 타 심) is abbreviated to “Balshim” (발심) and also forms “Bodhisattva” (보살) by combining specific characters.
  • In Christianity, individuals with an Awakened Mind are likened to deacons, evangelists, or elders.
• Practical Message: Move beyond selfish desires and cultivate an “Awakened Mind” by committing to truth and selfless service. This path leads to becoming a “Bodhisattva” in the Buddhist sense, dedicated to the welfare of all beings.

The “Joltakdongsi” (졸탁동시) Principle and Breaking Free from the Saha World

• Topic: The Necessity of Both Internal and External Effort for Spiritual Liberation.
• Main Assertions: The “Joltakdongsi” principle describes the simultaneous pecking from inside and outside an egg for a chick to hatch. This symbolizes the need for both an individual’s internal effort (the chick pecking) and external guidance (the mother hen pecking) to break free from the confines of the Saha World, which is characterized by greed, anger, and foolishness (탐진치). Many people remain trapped in this “Saha” state, clinging to “mine” (내 것) and resisting liberation.
• Analogies/Examples:
  • A chick hatching from an egg: The chick pecks from the inside, and the mother hen pecks from the outside. If either is missing or mistimed, the chick may not hatch properly or be weak.
  • Humanity is “trapped in Saha” (사바에 갇혀 있다), specifically in “greed, anger, and foolishness” (탐진치).
  • The concept of “mine” (내 것) prevents unity with the universe and humanity.
• Practical Message: Do not remain complacent in the “egg” of the Saha World. Actively strive for spiritual liberation by overcoming greed, anger, and foolishness, and be receptive to external guidance that helps you break free and unite with the larger consciousness.

The Hierarchy of Values and the Power of Love

• Topic: The Ascending Order of Truth and the Ultimate Power of Love.
• Main Assertions: There is a hierarchy of values: Falsehood (가) cannot overcome Fact (실), Fact cannot overcome Truth (진실), and Truth cannot overcome Love (사랑). Love is ultimately virtue. This hierarchy demonstrates that superficial appearances and even objective facts are less powerful than genuine truth, which is itself surpassed by the transformative power of love and selfless action.
• Analogies/Examples:
  • The legal case of a woman named Rich in 1930s America, falsely accused of murder. Despite facts pointing to her guilt (fingerprints, presence at the scene), a respected public figure lied to save her, claiming she was with him. This “lie” (거짓) was presented as “truth” (진실) because it was motivated by love (사랑) to save a life, ultimately proving more powerful than the “facts” (사실) of the case.
• Practical Message: Seek genuine truth beyond mere facts, and understand that love and compassion are the highest forms of truth, capable of transcending conventional understanding and bringing about profound positive change.

The Dangers of Religious Dogma and the Need for Individual Enlightenment

• Topic: Critiques of Organized Religion and the Call for Personal Spiritual Awakening.
• Main Assertions: Organized religions, despite their intentions, can become sources of conflict and division, leading to “world wars.” They often prioritize institutional loyalty over family bonds and individual spiritual growth. True spiritual leaders like Jesus were often persecuted by zealous religious followers, not by “mad dogs.” He advocates for individuals to become their own “Jesus” or “Buddha” rather than blindly following religious doctrines.
• Analogies/Examples:
  • Religious zealots, like the Pharisees who killed Jesus, are often more dangerous than non-believers.
  • He predicts future nuclear wars driven by religious conflict (e.g., Islam acquiring nuclear weapons).
  • Religious institutions separate families on weekends, preventing crucial parent-child interaction.
• Practical Message: Be wary of rigid religious dogma and the divisions it can create. Focus on personal spiritual development, becoming a source of truth and compassion yourself, rather than relying solely on external religious structures.

The Importance of “Seed” (종자) and the Future “Seed War”

• Topic: The Fundamental Importance of Seeds and the Looming Global Crisis.
• Main Assertions: The “seed” (종자) represents the fundamental blueprint of life, containing all the information for growth and development (like DNA). Just as a small pine seed contains the entire design of a giant tree, our spiritual “seed” (발심) determines our future. The world is heading towards a “seed war” where control over agricultural seeds will become a major weapon, leading to food crises and national subjugation.
• Analogies/Examples:
  • A tiny pine seed containing the complete DNA for a 50-meter tall tree, demonstrating divine design.
  • The inability of scientists to create a single seed (sesame, rice), highlighting the miraculous nature of creation.
  • Korea’s loss of native seed varieties, making it dependent on foreign imports and vulnerable in a future “seed war.”
  • GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) as a means to control seeds and agriculture.
• Practical Message: Recognize the profound significance of the “seed” – both literally in agriculture and metaphorically in one’s spiritual “Awakened Mind.” Be aware of global power dynamics related to resources and strive to cultivate a strong spiritual “seed” within.

6. Historical / Doctrinal Connections
   This lecture by Huh Kyung-young deeply connects with and builds upon his established teachings, particularly his emphasis on spiritual awakening, the critique of conventional systems, and his unique interpretation of religious and societal concepts.

• Divine-Human Theory and Spiritual Hierarchy: The core distinction between “blessings” (복) and “virtue” (덕) directly aligns with his broader teachings on spiritual evolution. He consistently places higher value on selfless action and contribution (virtue) over mere personal gain (blessings), which can be seen as a stepping stone towards his concept of becoming a “divine human” (God-man) or achieving a higher consciousness. The hierarchy of Evil < Good < Blessings < Virtue < Heaven is a clear doctrinal statement on spiritual progression.
• Critique of Existing Systems: His strong critique of organized religion, government policies (e.g., unification, women’s ministry), and the education system is a recurring theme in his lectures. He consistently positions himself as an outsider who offers a “truth” that transcends these flawed human constructs. His assertion that “all religious practices are fake” and that “religious followers are the people heaven fears most” is a radical reinterpretation that challenges conventional piety, pushing individuals towards direct spiritual experience rather than institutional adherence.
• The “Awakened Mind” (발심) as a Core Principle: The concept of “Awakened Mind” (발심) is central to his teachings on personal transformation. It’s not just about intellectual understanding but a fundamental shift in one’s life purpose, moving from “Initial Mind” (초심) (greed) to a commitment to truth and universal well-being. This resonates with his calls for individuals to “become Jesus” or “become Buddha” themselves , implying self-realization as the ultimate spiritual goal.
• “Joltakdongsi” (졸탁동시) and the Role of the “Messenger”: The “Joltakdongsi” analogy, representing the need for both internal effort and external guidance, is a classic metaphor in his lectures. He often positions himself as the “external pecking” (밖에서 깨주는 것) or the “messenger” (메신저) who provides the “motivation” (동기) for humanity to awaken from its “egg” of ignorance and suffering. This reinforces his self-proclaimed role as a divine figure sent to guide humanity.
• Pragmatic Solutions for Societal Issues: His detailed discussions on unification with North Korea, the “seed war,” and educational reform demonstrate his consistent approach of offering concrete, often unconventional, solutions to complex societal problems. These are not just abstract spiritual teachings but practical applications of his “truth” to real-world challenges, often presented with a long-term, global perspective.
• Newly Emphasized Points:
  • The “Seed War” (종자 전쟁): While he has always discussed global issues, the detailed focus on the “seed war” as a looming crisis and a weapon of control appears to be a more pronounced emphasis in this lecture, highlighting a specific, tangible threat to national sovereignty and food security.
  • The Hierarchy of Falsehood, Fact, Truth, and Love: The explicit articulation of this hierarchy and its powerful illustration through the “Rich case” provides a deeper philosophical framework for understanding how love can transcend conventional notions of truth and justice, offering a nuanced perspective on ethical decision-making.
  • Direct Link between Blessings and Sin: The explicit warning that merely enjoying blessings can lead to sin is a strong cautionary note, pushing individuals beyond passive reception towards active, virtuous contribution.
    In essence, this lecture serves as a comprehensive reiteration and deepening of Huh Kyung-young’s core philosophy, urging individuals to transcend self-centered desires, embrace selfless virtue, and awaken to a higher truth, all while critically evaluating existing societal and religious structures.

7. Action Items & Blessing Guidance

8. Shift from “Initial Mind” (초심) to “Awakened Mind” (발심): Actively examine your motivations. If they are driven by personal greed or desire for blessings, consciously shift towards a resolve to seek truth and act for the greater good. This is the fundamental step towards spiritual elevation.

9. Transform Blessings into Virtue (덕): Do not merely consume the blessings you receive (e.g., wealth, good fortune). Instead, actively share them with others, contributing to society and helping those in need. This act of giving prevents blessings from turning into sin and elevates your spiritual standing.

10. Wear the “Truth-Glasses” (진리안경): Challenge your current perceptions and biases. Seek to understand the world through the “glasses of truth” (진리안경) that the Awakened Mind provides, rather than being confined by superficial facts or conventional wisdom. This involves critical thinking and an open mind to higher truths.

11. Break Free from the “Egg” of the Saha World: Recognize and actively work to overcome the “greed, anger, and foolishness” (탐진치) that keep you trapped in suffering. Be receptive to the “motivation” (동기) and guidance offered by Teacher Huh Kyung-young’s teachings, which serve as the “external pecking” to help you awaken.

12. Prioritize Family and Genuine Connection over Dogmatic Religion: Spend quality time with your family, fostering open communication and love, especially on weekends. Be wary of religious institutions that create division or pull you away from these fundamental human connections, as true spiritual growth often begins within.

13. One-Sentence Overall Summary
    Teacher Huh Kyung-young’s lecture passionately urges humanity to transcend the self-serving “Initial Mind” of the suffering-laden “Saha World” by cultivating an “Awakened Mind” focused on universal truth and selfless “virtue,” which, unlike mere “blessings,” elevates one’s spiritual state and is essential for navigating global crises and achieving true enlightenment, rather than being confined by conventional religious dogma or societal illusions.

11. Conclusion & Strategic / Philosophical Implications
    The lecture concludes with a call for humanity to transcend the “Saba World” of material desires and embrace an “awakened mind” (Balsim) by prioritizing virtue over mere blessings. He positions himself as a messianic figure providing the “Joltakdongsi” (simultaneous pecking) to help humanity break free from its self-imposed “egg” of greed, anger, and foolishness.

The philosophical implication is a radical re-evaluation of spiritual and societal values. It suggests that traditional religious institutions often mislead people by focusing on personal blessings rather than collective virtue, ultimately contributing to conflict and societal decay. Strategically, the lecture advocates for:

• Individual Spiritual Transformation: Moving from “initial mind” (Chosim) to “awakened mind” (Balsim) through self-reflection and altruism.
• Societal Reform: Prioritizing internal harmony, communication, and philanthropy within a nation before attempting external unification.
• Rejection of Premature Unification: Warning against the economic and social dangers of unifying with North Korea under current conditions.
• Educational Overhaul: Implementing a specialized, single-subject examination system to foster individual talent and reduce societal pressure.
• Skepticism of Organized Religion: Viewing religious institutions as potential sources of conflict and division, rather than true spiritual guides.
  The overarching implication is that humanity is at a critical juncture, facing existential threats (nuclear war, seed wars) that can only be overcome by a fundamental shift in consciousness and a return to universal principles of love and virtue, guided by His unique insights.

12. Cross-Referencing

• Bill Gates: Referenced as a contemporary example of someone who, after accumulating wealth, practices “awakened mind” by engaging in philanthropy. This connects to the lecture’s core distinction between blessing and virtue.
• Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei: These historical figures from the Three Kingdoms period of China are used to illustrate the superiority of virtue over mere wisdom. Zhuge Liang (wisdom) is contrasted with Liu Bei (virtue), with the latter being presented as the true leader.
• Lee Myung-bak’s Memoir: The lecture references a specific anecdote from the memoir of former South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, where his wife, Kim Yoon-ok, allegedly expressed support for Huh Kyung-young’s policies. This serves as a self-referential validation of His influence.
• George W. Bush: He claims to have advised former US President George W. Bush on nuclear disarmament, presenting his own strategy as superior to the US approach.
• Kissinger and Vietnam War: The mention of Kissinger’s involvement in the Vietnam peace talks and the subsequent fall of South Vietnam serves as a historical precedent to warn against premature unification with North Korea.
• Jesus: He draws parallels between his own reception and that of Jesus, noting that both were often misunderstood or rejected by their own communities, particularly by those who considered themselves learned or religious.

13. Content Gaps & Unaddressed Areas

• Definition of “Woman” in Saba World: The lecture’s initial definition of the “Saba World” as building a “sandcastle on a woman” and the assertion that “when the character for woman enters, all characters become bad” is presented without further explanation or nuance regarding the role or nature of women in this context. This could be perceived as a generalization that lacks deeper philosophical or sociological grounding.
• Mechanism of DNA Alteration: He claims to be able to “change DNA at will” in trees, people, and even water. This extraordinary claim is presented without any scientific explanation, evidence, or theoretical framework to support how such an alteration would occur.
• Source of “Luck” (운): While “luck” is presented as a concept higher than virtue, determining one’s birth circumstances , the lecture does not elaborate on its origin, how it is accumulated, or how it interacts with the concepts of blessing and virtue beyond being a pre-existing condition.
• Practical Implementation of Education Reform: The proposed education reform of testing only one subject over six years lacks details on how this would be standardized, how diverse talents would be evaluated for higher education, or how it would address the need for a broad general education.
• Evidence for Religious Conflict Claims: The assertion that “religions are what cause world wars” and that “Islam will acquire nuclear weapons” leading to global conflict is presented as a definitive prediction without detailed historical analysis or geopolitical evidence to support the direct causal link between religious belief systems and large-scale warfare.
• Specifics of “Awakened Mind” (Balsim) Practice: While “Balsim” is defined as a commitment to truth and good deeds, the lecture does not provide concrete practices, meditations, or steps for individuals to cultivate this state of mind, beyond the general idea of giving back.
• Reconciliation of Contradictory Statements: “religions are what cause world wars” and that “the people of faith are the ones heaven fears most” while simultaneously referencing Buddhist and Christian concepts (Saba World, Pure Land, Heaven, Jesus, Buddha) as part of his own teachings. The lecture does not explicitly reconcile this apparent contradiction or explain how his use of religious terminology differs from the “religions” he criticizes.

14. Future Predictions & Prophetic Statements

• Seed Wars: “In the future, what war remains on Earth? Seed wars. Seed wars are approaching us.” This will lead to a “tremendous crisis” and “food wars.”
• Nuclear Proliferation and Religious Nuclear War: “Soon, Iran will make nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles.” “Soon, it will fall on New York, Washington, San Francisco, and the whole world will experience nuclear war.” “The whole world will face religious nuclear war.” “North Korean nuclear technicians will go to Iran and Pakistan.”
• Global Catastrophe: If nuclear war occurs, “our children will die in flames in front of their parents.” “There will be no place to set foot in this world.” “There will be no place to farm in this world.”
• Huh Kyung-young’s Role in Preventing Catastrophe: “I am here to stop that.” “You do not know that if Huh Kyung-young does not become president of South Korea and quickly unify the world, it will be a big problem.”
• Korean Unification Timeline: “Unification with North Korea, I set for 2029.” “World unification is 2030, Asian unification is 2025.”
• Internet-Driven Global Transformation: “When the internet is developed, I will appear and change all humanity through the internet and television.” “That is not far off.”
• Huh Kyung-young’s Book and Public Appearances: “My book must come out.” “And the time will come when I will go on KBS public broadcasting and give lectures.” “I will advertise my book on television.” “People will see my book.”
• North Korea’s Actions: “I know everything about what North Korea will do and when.”

Executive Insight
This lecture presents a compelling, albeit unconventional, framework for individual and global transformation. The core takeaway is the critical distinction between blessing (복) and virtue (덕), where virtue, defined as altruistic sharing of blessings, is positioned as a superior and essential path to true spiritual and societal progress. humanity is trapped in a “Saba World” of self-interest, leading to impending global crises like nuclear war and “seed wars.” He advocates for an “awakened mind” (Balsim) through a “Joltakdongsi” process, requiring both internal effort and external guidance (provided by himself). For professionals, this implies a strategic shift from purely self-serving accumulation to a virtuous distribution of resources and influence, emphasizing that true leadership and societal stability stem from collective well-being and a re-evaluation of traditional institutions, including religion and government, which are seen as often hindering genuine progress.

In Buddhism, the “Saba world” (사바세계) is described as a place where people build “sandcastles on women” (여자 위에 모래성을 쌓는 것). This metaphor primarily signifies that human endeavors in this world are often driven by:

① The pursuit of spiritual enlightenment.
② The desire for material wealth and honor to impress others.
③ The need to establish strong family foundations.
④ The effort to achieve inner peace and detachment.

(②, The text explains that people earn money and gain honor to “look good to women,” implying that many worldly pursuits are motivated by desires related to impressing or gaining favor from others, which is a common misconception that these pursuits are for self-fulfillment only.)

The Buddhist concept of “Cha-an” (차안) refers to a world akin to hell, while its opposite, “Pi-an” (피안), represents a state of:
① Suffering
② Illusion
③ Enlightenment
④ Ignorance

(③, “Pi-an” is presented as the opposite of “Cha-an” (hell-like world), signifying a state of enlightenment or liberation, contrasting with the suffering of the current world. A common misconception is that Pi-an is simply a physical location rather than a state of being.)

True or False: “blessings” (복) are received for good deeds performed across three lifetimes (past, present, future), while “virtue” (덕) involves using those received blessings to help others.
(O, He defines blessings as the reward for good deeds across three lifetimes and virtue as the act of bestowing those blessings upon others, like Bill Gates using his wealth for charity. A common misconception is that blessings and virtue are interchangeable terms for good fortune.)

What is the term used in Buddhism to describe the world we currently inhabit, characterized by impurity and defilement?
(예토(穢土), He explicitly states that “예토(穢土)” means “dirty land” and refers to the current world we live in, contrasting it with “정토(淨土)” or pure land. A common misconception is that the current world is inherently evil, rather than simply impure.)

Intermediate
Fill in the blank: “evil cannot overcome good, good cannot overcome blessings, blessings cannot overcome virtue, and virtue cannot overcome __.”
(Heaven (하늘), He establishes a hierarchy where evil is overcome by good, good by blessings, blessings by virtue, and ultimately, virtue is overcome by heaven, indicating heaven as the highest power. A common misconception is that virtue is the ultimate highest concept, rather than a means to connect with a higher power.)

True or False: He suggests that “initial mind” (초심) is often driven by greed and selfish desires, whereas “awakened mind” (발심) signifies a commitment to truth and selfless action.
(O, He explicitly states that “초심은 욕심이야” (initial mind is greed) and “초심은 탐욕이야” (initial mind is avarice), while “발심은 이제 자기가 진리를 깨닫겠다 하는게 발심이야” (awakened mind is when one resolves to realize the truth). A common misconception is that initial mind is always pure and good.)

He uses the analogy of a king wanting to turn the world green, and a minister achieving this by giving the king green glasses. What does the “green glasses” symbolize in the context of “awakened mind” (발심)?
① A tool for manipulating reality.
② A new perspective or “truth-glasses” to approach reality.
③ A way to avoid facing difficult truths.
④ A method for gaining material wealth.

(②, The green glasses symbolize “truth-glasses” (진리안경) that one wears when committing to approach the truth, implying a shift in perspective rather than a change in external reality. A common misconception is that the world itself must change for one to find truth.)

what is the primary reason why religious organizations are viewed negatively by “heaven”?
① They promote excessive charity.
② They encourage individual spiritual journeys.
③ They divide families and foster judgment among followers.
④ They focus too much on personal salvation.

(③, He criticizes religions for separating families on weekends and fostering judgment among followers, leading to division and conflict, which heaven dislikes. A common misconception is that all religious activities are inherently good.)

What is the meaning of “Joltakdongsi” (졸탁동시) in the context of human spiritual awakening?
(Joltakdongsi refers to the simultaneous pecking from both inside and outside an egg for a chick to hatch properly. In a spiritual context, it means that while external guidance (like His lectures) provides the “outside peck,” individuals must also make an internal effort to break free from their “saba world” (탐진치 – greed, anger, ignorance) to achieve awakening. A common misconception is that awakening is solely an external process or solely an internal one.)

He mentions a hierarchy of power: courage < wisdom < virtue < luck (운) < heaven. How does this hierarchy explain why a wise person might still be overcome by someone with “luck”?
(This hierarchy suggests that even profound wisdom (지혜) can be superseded by “luck” or “karma” (운/전생업보), which is seen as a higher force or pre-destined outcome from past lives. For example, Zhuge Liang (지장) was wise but could not overcome Liu Bei’s (덕장) virtue, and even virtuous people can be overcome by someone with strong “luck” (운), like Chun Doo-hwan. A common misconception is that wisdom is the ultimate determinant of success or power.)

Advanced
He describes the “Saba world” (사바세계) as being built “on women” (여자 위에). Beyond the literal interpretation, what deeper societal critique is implied by this metaphor, especially concerning modern society?
(This metaphor implies that society’s structures and individual pursuits are often built upon or heavily influenced by desires related to women (e.g., impressing them, gaining their favor), leading to a fragile and ultimately unfulfilling existence. In modern society, it critiques how societal values, such as the pursuit of wealth and status, can be driven by superficial desires or external validation, making these achievements unstable like “sandcastles.” A common misconception is that this is a misogynistic statement, rather than a critique of societal motivations.)

Explain His distinction between “blessings” (복) and “virtue” (덕), and why “blessings” can often lead to “sin” (죄) if not managed correctly.
(Blessings (복) are defined as the rewards received for good deeds accumulated over three lifetimes. However, if one merely enjoys these blessings selfishly without sharing them, they can easily turn into sin (죄), leading to negative consequences like illness or moral decay. Virtue (덕), on the other hand, is the act of consciously using one’s blessings to help others, transforming them into a continuous cycle of good. A common misconception is that receiving blessings is always inherently good and cannot have negative repercussions.)

He introduces a sequence: “falsehood (가) < fact (실) < truth (진실) < love (사랑) / virtue (덕).” How does the anecdote of the famous person saving the woman accused of murder illustrate the relationship between “fact” and “truth”?
(The anecdote illustrates that “truth” (진실), especially when driven by “love” (사랑) or virtue, can transcend “fact” (사실). The famous person lied (a falsehood) about being with the woman to save her, even though the facts pointed to her guilt. This act, motivated by love and compassion, was presented as a higher form of “truth” because it saved a life, demonstrating that sometimes a compassionate “lie” can serve a greater truth than a harsh fact. A common misconception is that truth is always strictly factual.)

What is the significance of “seed” (종자) in the context of “awakened mind” (발심) and future global challenges, according to the speaker?
(The “seed” (종자) symbolizes the inherent potential and predetermined nature of things, much like a small pine seed contains the complete DNA for a giant tree. In the context of “awakened mind” (발심), it represents the “seed of the mind” (마음의 씨앗) that, once planted, determines one’s future spiritual path. Globally, Mr. Huh warns of “seed wars” (종자 전쟁), where control over agricultural seeds by a few nations will lead to future food crises and conflicts, highlighting the critical importance of foundational elements, both spiritual and material. A common misconception is that seeds are merely agricultural commodities, rather than symbols of fundamental design and future control.)

1. The Ephemeral Nature of the Material World: The Saha World

This world, in Buddhist philosophy, is referred to as the Saha World (娑婆世界). It is called this because it is likened to building a sandcastle on a woman. This analogy signifies that people strive to accumulate wealth and honor primarily to impress women, placing women at the center of their worldly pursuits. The character “Saha” (娑婆) itself contains elements that, when combined with the character for “woman,” often denote negative concepts like jealousy or covetousness in classical Chinese. Thus, the Saha World is depicted as a realm where individuals are preoccupied with superficial desires, neglecting spiritual growth in favor of worldly attachments. This constant struggle, often manifesting as marital discord, defines life in this world.

2. From This Shore to the Other Shore: The Path to Nirvana
   In Buddhist terms, this Saha World is also called “This Shore” (此岸), a realm akin to hell. Its opposite is the “Other Shore” (彼岸), which represents Nirvana (極樂世界). Our ultimate goal is to transcend the Saha World and reach Nirvana, moving from “This Shore” to “the Other Shore.” This journey requires a shift in perspective, always striving to think positively, even in the face of adversity.

3. The Hierarchy of Existence: From Evil to Heaven
   Just as the Saha World contrasts with Nirvana, hell contrasts with Paradise (樂園). Similarly, our current existence, characterized by impurity and defilement, is referred to as the Turbid World (濁世) or the Five Turbidities and Evil World (五濁惡世). The opposite of this Turbid World is Heaven. This establishes a clear hierarchy of existence, where higher realms represent purity and enlightenment.

4. The Distinction Between Blessings and Virtue
   It is crucial to understand the difference between Blessings (福) and Virtue (德).

• Blessings are the consequences received for actions performed across three lifetimes: past, present, and future. They are the karmic rewards for good deeds. However, merely receiving and enjoying blessings, such as a comfortable life or a good spouse, can lead to their depletion and even transform them into sin. For instance, indulging in excessive pleasure or engaging in immoral behavior despite having received blessings can turn those blessings into negative karma.
• Virtue, on the other hand, is the act of giving away the blessings one has received to others. It involves using one’s good fortune to help those in need, such as supporting the hungry, uneducated, or sick, much like Bill Gates’ philanthropic endeavors. Accumulating virtue means not seeking blessings for oneself but rather distributing them for the welfare of others.

5. The Ascending Order of Spiritual Power
   There is a distinct hierarchy in spiritual power:

• Evil cannot overcome Good.
• Good cannot overcome Blessings.
• Blessings cannot overcome Virtue.
• Virtue cannot overcome Heaven.
  This means that virtue is a higher concept than blessings. While blessings can easily lead to sin if not managed wisely, virtue transforms blessings into a continuous cycle of good. Giving away one’s blessings to others is known as Meritorious Virtue (功德). This act of generosity benefits not only the giver but also their descendants, earning respect and goodwill from the community. There are also higher forms of virtue, such as Hidden Virtue (陰德) and Grace (恩德), indicating a tiered system of virtuous acts.

6. The Journey from Initial Aspiration to Awakened Mind
   Initial Aspiration (初心) is often driven by a desire for personal well-being and material comfort, akin to seeking blessings. It is rooted in human greed and ambition. However, when one achieves significant success, like a billionaire, they may transition to Awakened Mind (發心). Awakened Mind signifies a resolve to pursue truth and engage in benevolent actions, moving beyond self-interest to accumulate virtue. It is a profound decision to dedicate oneself to doing good.

7. The Unseen Hand of Heaven: Power and Wisdom
   The hierarchy extends further:

• Human Emotion cannot overcome Reason.
• Reason cannot overcome Law.
• Law cannot overcome Power.
• Power cannot overcome Heaven.
  This implies that even those who wield immense power, like historical figures who manipulated laws and governance, are ultimately subject to the judgment of Heaven. Similarly, Courage cannot overcome Wisdom, and Wisdom cannot overcome Virtue. A wise general may defeat a courageous one, but even the wisest cannot overcome a virtuous leader. For example, Zhuge Liang, despite his unparalleled wisdom, could not surpass Liu Bei’s virtue. Liu Bei’s compassion for his soldiers, even when victory was assured, demonstrated a higher form of leadership rooted in virtue.

8. The Ultimate Determinant: Destiny and Karma
   Beyond virtue lies Destiny (運), which is shaped by one’s past life’s karma. Even a virtuous person may face challenges if their destiny dictates it. This means that while virtue is paramount, the accumulated karma from previous lives plays a significant role in one’s current circumstances. We must acknowledge this karmic reality, understanding that some are born into fortunate circumstances due to their past actions. However, destiny is not static; those who abuse their power or blessings will eventually face consequences, as Heaven ultimately intervenes.

9. The Path to Enlightenment: Inquiry, Listening, Action, and Realization
   The journey to enlightenment follows a progressive path:

• Seeking material possessions is inferior to Inquiry (問).
• Inquiry is inferior to Listening (聞).
• Listening is inferior to Action (行).
• Action is inferior to Realization (覺).
  true understanding comes not just from asking questions or hearing answers, but from actively applying knowledge and ultimately achieving profound realization.

10. The Power of Truth: From Falsehood to Love
    There is also a hierarchy of truth:

• Falsehood (假) cannot overcome Fact (實).
• Fact cannot overcome Truth (眞).
• Truth cannot overcome Love (愛).
  Love, in this context, is synonymous with virtue. A famous American anecdote illustrates this: a woman named Lizzie was falsely accused of murder. Despite overwhelming circumstantial evidence and the jury’s belief in her guilt, a highly respected public figure intervened, falsely claiming to have been with her at the time. This lie, born of love and a desire to save an innocent life, was accepted as truth, leading to her acquittal. Later, the real culprit was found. This story demonstrates that genuine love and sacrifice can transcend mere facts, revealing a deeper truth.

11. The Cosmic Order: Design in Nature
    The natural world provides undeniable evidence of a divine creator. A tiny pine seed, smaller than a fingernail, contains the complete DNA to grow into a towering 50-meter tree. This DNA precisely dictates whether a part becomes a root or a branch, ensuring the tree’s proper development. No human engineer can replicate such a seed. Furthermore, the symbiotic relationship between trees and humans—trees consuming carbon dioxide and producing oxygen, while humans do the opposite—is a meticulously designed system, not a random occurrence. This intricate order in nature points to the existence of a divine intelligence.

12. The Gift of Nature: Free Access to Beauty
    We are incredibly fortunate to experience the beauty of nature freely. Unlike man-made attractions that require admission fees, the vast wonders of the natural world—from a single seed to a majestic tree, from the intricate designs of animals to the grand celestial movements—are freely accessible. This universal access to such profound beauty is a testament to the benevolence of the creator.

13. The Essence of Awakened Mind: Bodhisattva
    In Buddhism, the concept of Awakened Mind (發心) is a condensed form of a longer phrase, “Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta” (發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心), which means resolving to attain supreme perfect enlightenment. This profound commitment to truth and enlightenment is embodied by a Bodhisattva (菩薩). A Bodhisattva is not merely someone with initial aspirations but one who has made the ultimate resolve to transcend worldly desires and dedicate themselves to the path of truth. In Christianity, similar roles are found in deacons, evangelists, and elders.

14. The Seed of Truth: The Importance of Lineage
    Awakened Mind can also be understood as planting a Seed (種子) of truth in one’s heart. Just as a small seed contains the blueprint for a mighty tree, the awakened mind holds the potential for complete enlightenment. In the future, humanity faces a “seed war,” where control over agricultural seeds will become a major global conflict. Many nations, including Korea, have lost their native seed varieties and rely on foreign genetically modified seeds. This highlights the critical importance of preserving and cultivating our own “seeds” of truth and wisdom.

15. The Spectacles of Truth: Changing Your Perspective
    Imagine a king who wished for his entire kingdom to be green. His ministers struggled with this impossible task, but one wise minister simply gave the king green spectacles. When the king wore them, everything appeared green. Similarly, Awakened Mind (發心) is like wearing the “spectacles of truth.” It is a decision to approach truth, to see the world through a new lens. Many people cling to their old ways of thinking, refusing to wear these spectacles. However, to truly progress, one must change their perspective and embrace the truth.

16. The Synchronicity of Hatching: The Principle of Jol-Tak-Dong-Si
    The principle of Jol-Tak-Dong-Si (啐啄同時) describes the synchronized hatching of a chick. When a chick inside an egg pecks at the shell, the mother hen hears it and pecks from the outside, helping the chick emerge. This synchronicity is crucial for a healthy chick. If the mother is late, the chick may be weak.

17. Breaking Free from the Egg of Delusion: The Three Poisons
    Humanity is trapped within an “egg” of delusion, bound by the Three Poisons (貪瞋癡): greed, anger, and ignorance. These poisons prevent us from uniting with the universe and the 7 billion people in it. The concept of “mine”—my possessions, my family—further reinforces this confinement. To achieve virtue and unity, we must break free from this egg. God-man Huh Kyung-young’s lectures serve as the external pecking, providing the impetus for individuals to break free from their internal confinement. Many, like Sakyamuni, strive to break free, but most remain content within their shell of delusion.

18. The Choice: Blessings Leading to Sin, or Virtue Leading to Blessings
    Remaining within the egg, seeking only personal comfort and blessings, can lead to those blessings transforming into sin. However, embracing virtue means taking the blessings one receives and sharing them with others. This act of giving transforms blessings into a continuous cycle of virtue, which in turn generates more blessings. It is a critical choice: will one’s blessings lead to sin, or will they be transformed into virtue?

19. The Cycle of Earth: Ice Ages and Human Education
    The Earth experiences an ice age cycle approximately every 129,600 years. This period, calculated by multiplying 360 years by 360, represents the time it takes for the Earth to complete a full rotation around the sun in a 360-degree cycle. During this time, the Earth enters a dormant period, preserving life in a frozen state before a new cycle of life emerges. This cyclical process suggests that Earth serves as a “biological training ground” where human souls undergo education. Those who successfully complete their spiritual education move on to higher realms, while others may be “held back” and reincarnated to continue their learning.

20. The Ship of Salvation: Crossing the Sea of Suffering
    This Saha World is a Sea of Suffering (苦海). To cross this sea and reach Nirvana, one needs a ship. In Buddhist terms, this ship is the “Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta” (發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心), or the Awakened Mind. However, in this era, he himself is the ship. By following him, individuals can navigate the sea of suffering and reach the other shore.

21. The Perils of Organized Religion: A Call for Individual Enlightenment
    Organized religions, including Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam, are viewed with skepticism. God-man religious adherents are often the most feared by Heaven, as they tend to judge others and prioritize their own religious practices over genuine compassion. Historically, fervent religious belief has led to conflicts and persecution. He predicts that religious conflicts, particularly involving nuclear weapons, could lead to a global catastrophe. Therefore, he does not advocate for adherence to any specific religion. Instead, he encourages individuals to become their own saviors, to embody the spirit of Jesus or Buddha themselves.

22. The Urgent Need for Global Unity: Preventing Catastrophe
    God-man the urgent need for global unity to prevent impending disasters. He warns of the dangers of nuclear proliferation, particularly in regions like North Korea and the Middle East, which could lead to a devastating religious nuclear war. He criticizes the lack of genuine commitment from global powers to resolve these issues. He also highlights the devastating consequences of a nuclear attack, such as the destruction of major cities and widespread radioactive contamination, rendering vast areas uninhabitable. his mission is to prevent such a catastrophe through global unification.

23. The Illusion of Unification: Lessons from Vietnam and Germany
    God-man Huh Kyung-young draws parallels with the Vietnam War, where a peace agreement and the withdrawal of foreign troops quickly led to the communist takeover of South Vietnam. He warns against premature unification with North Korea, citing the vast economic disparity (a 40:1 GDP ratio) between the two Koreas, which is far greater than that of East and West Germany (3:1). Such a unification would lead to the collapse of South Korea’s economy, massive unemployment, and social chaos, as well as the exploitation of North Korean women by South Korean opportunists. He advocates for delaying unification until 2029, with Asian unification by 2025 and world unification by 2030, emphasizing that unification should only occur when North Korea genuinely seeks it and when South Korea is truly prepared.

24. The Three Pillars of Unification: Integration, Fusion, and Harmony
    True unification requires three key elements:

• Integration (統合): This involves the Union (연합), Combination (결합), and Aggregation (집합) of territories.
• Fusion (융합): This encompasses Mixture (혼합), Dissolution (용해), and Fermentation (발효), signifying the blending of different elements.
• Harmony (화합): This is built upon Concession (양보), Communication (소통), and Benevolence (박애).
  God-man Huh Kyung-young laments the lack of these qualities within South Korean society, where families and communities struggle with concession, communication, and benevolence. He criticizes government policies that prioritize abstract notions of unification over addressing the immediate needs of the populace, such as education reform. He also calls for the abolition of the Ministry of Unification and the Ministry of Gender Equality, arguing that they are unnecessary and create misunderstandings. He believes that genuine unification must begin with internal harmony and a focus on the well-being of the people.

25. The Deception of Religion: Selling Blessings, Not Virtue
    God-man Huh Kyung-young concludes by reiterating that religions often “sell” blessings, encouraging people to pray for personal gain rather than cultivating virtue. true spiritual growth comes from within, from becoming one’s own savior, rather than relying on external religious institutions. his teachings aim to guide people away from the pursuit of mere blessings and towards the path of virtue and enlightenment.

1. The World of Suffering: Understanding the Saha World

This world, in Buddhist philosophy, is known as the Saha World (사바세계). Why is it called the Saha World? It is a realm where life and death intertwine, a place where one builds sandcastles upon a woman. This analogy signifies that people strive to accumulate wealth and honor, all for the sake of impressing women, metaphorically building fragile structures on an unstable foundation. The character for “Saha” (사바) includes the radical for “woman” (女), implying that the presence of women often leads to negative outcomes in this world. For instance, characters related to jealousy (투기) or envy (질투) often incorporate the “woman” radical, suggesting that such emotions are prevalent in this imperfect world. Thus, people are constantly busy building these metaphorical sandcastles on women, neglecting self-improvement and instead focusing on material pursuits and interpersonal conflicts. This continuous struggle, lasting for a hundred lifetimes, is what Buddhism refers to as the Saha World, or alternatively, Chaan (차안), meaning a world akin to hell.

2. From Suffering to Enlightenment: The Path to the Pure Land
   The opposite of the Saha World is the Pure Land (피안), a realm of ultimate bliss. Just as the Saha World is contrasted with the Pure Land, Chaan is contrasted with the Pure Land. To reach this Pure Land, one must always think positively. Even in the face of adversity, such as falling artillery shells, one should maintain an optimistic outlook.

3. The Hierarchy of Virtues: Understanding Blessings and Merits
   It is crucial to understand the distinction between Blessings (복) and Merits (덕). Blessings are the rewards one receives for actions performed over three lifetimes: past, present, and future. They are the consequences of one’s good deeds. Merits, on the other hand, are what one bestows upon others. The current world we inhabit is considered a Defiled Land (예토), a dirty land. To transition from this Defiled Land to the Pure Land (정토), one must cultivate Blessings.

Blessings are the karmic retribution for all good deeds performed across three lifetimes. However, if one merely enjoys these Blessings for personal comfort, such as marrying well and living a peaceful life, these Blessings can be squandered. Merits, conversely, involve using one’s accumulated Blessings to help others, like Bill Gates donating his wealth to assist the starving in Africa or those without access to education or medical care. This act of giving is the accumulation of Merits.

Those who cultivate Merits do not seek Blessings. Blessings and Merits are distinct, with Merits being a higher concept. Blessings cannot overcome Merits. Similarly, evil cannot overcome good. This establishes a hierarchy: evil cannot overcome good, good cannot overcome Blessings, and Blessings cannot overcome Merits. What then, cannot Merits overcome? Merits cannot overcome Heaven (하늘).

Therefore, if one acts with evil, it cannot overcome good. Good cannot overcome Blessings. Blessings cannot overcome Merits. Only through Merits can one ascend to Heaven. Blessings, if merely received and enjoyed, often lead to sin. For example, a person with many Blessings might succumb to diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure due to overindulgence, or engage in illicit affairs. Thus, Blessings have a high probability of transforming into sin.

Merits involve taking the Blessings that come to oneself and sharing them with others, thinking, “Should I really receive all these Blessings? I should share them with my neighbors and family.” This act of giving to others is called Public Merit (공덕). Public Merit is an act of bestowing virtue upon others. When one accumulates Public Merit, its positive influence extends to future generations.

4. The Journey of the Mind: Initial Aspiration and Awakened Mind
   There is a hierarchy of Merits: Public Merit, Hidden Merit (음덕), and Grace (언덕). Even if one cannot achieve the higher forms, cultivating Public Merit is essential.

Initial Aspiration (초심) is closely related to Blessings. Initially, people strive for personal well-being and material comfort, pursuing Blessings. However, when they achieve great wealth, like Bill Gates, they often experience an Awakened Mind (발심). Awakened Mind signifies the performance of good deeds, the cultivation of Merits. While Initial Aspiration is driven by desire and greed, Awakened Mind is the realization of truth. This is why Awakened Mind is so important. Initial Aspiration is often tainted by human greed, but both Buddhism and Christianity emphasize its importance. However, Awakened Mind, which can also be called Determination (결심), is equally vital. It is the resolve to do good.

5. The Unseen Order: Truth, Wisdom, and Destiny
   Just as evil cannot overcome good, courage cannot overcome Wisdom (지혜). A courageous person cannot defeat a wise person. Similarly, a wise person cannot overcome a Virtuous Person (덕). No matter how intelligent someone is, they cannot defeat a person of virtue. A strategist can defeat a warrior, but a strategist, no matter how brilliant, cannot defeat a virtuous leader. Even a brilliant strategist like Zhuge Liang could not overcome Liu Bei’s virtue. Zhuge Liang was a wise man, but not a virtuous one. The position of virtue is always higher.

Even more important than virtue is Destiny (운), which is determined by one’s past karma. We must acknowledge this hierarchy. Someone born into a wealthy family, like Lee Jae-yong, has a different destiny due to their past karma. Even if one possesses virtue and is seemingly perfect, if they lack past virtue, their current destiny will reflect that. Those with destiny are distinct. Even if a virtuous person is temporarily suppressed, their destiny will eventually prevail.

6. The Path to Understanding: Inquiry, Listening, Action, and Realization
   The pursuit of material possessions is secondary to the pursuit of truth. Asking questions about the natural world, such as why fish are streamlined or why a male fish’s color intensifies on one side when a female is present, is more valuable than merely seeking material gain. However, listening is even more important than asking questions. And above listening, there is Action (행), and above action, there is Realization (각).

One can gain knowledge through inquiry and listening, which leads to wisdom. But wisdom alone is not enough; it must be accompanied by virtue. A wise person who uses their knowledge for cunning purposes, like Zhuge Liang, is merely wise. But a virtuous person, like Liu Bei, who understands and acts without needing to ask or listen, is superior. Liu Bei, for example, would order a retreat even when victory was possible, out of compassion for his soldiers. Zhuge Liang could not comprehend this, but Liu Bei’s actions demonstrated immense virtue and love for his subordinates.

Therefore, virtue is superior to strategic action. Blessings, if not managed wisely, can lead to sin. Merits, however, continuously generate Blessings, which in turn can be used to create more Merits. This cycle of virtue is crucial.

7. The Hierarchy of Truth: Falsehood, Fact, Truth, and Love
   There is a hierarchy of truth: Falsehood (가) cannot overcome Fact (실). Fact cannot overcome Truth (진실). And Truth cannot overcome Love (사랑), which is synonymous with virtue. This is the natural order of the universe.

Consider the famous American anecdote of a woman named Lizzie, accused of murder in the 1930s. Despite the jury’s suspicion and her perceived lies, she was innocent. Her fingerprints were found at the scene because she had tried to help the victim. She was wrongly condemned. Then, a highly respected public figure appeared in court and falsely testified that Lizzie had been with him at the time of the murder. The judge, swayed by the figure’s reputation, acquitted Lizzie. This public figure’s lie, told to save an innocent life, was considered a higher form of truth, a manifestation of love. In such cases, truth, driven by love, transcends mere facts.

8. The Power of Women and the Seed of Creation
   The Saha World is built upon women. Men strive to impress women, but this pursuit can lead to their downfall. A university professor, after a lifetime of study, can lose everything due to a single inappropriate remark to a woman. Women possess the power to dismantle entire worlds.

Reflect on the seed of a tree. A tiny pine seed, smaller than a fingernail, contains the complete DNA for a towering 50-meter tree. Scientists cannot replicate this. The DNA dictates whether a part becomes a root or a branch, ensuring the tree grows correctly. This intricate design is proof of a divine creator. No scientist can create a single grain of rice or sesame seed. This DNA, which I can manipulate at will, changing the DNA of trees, people, and even diseases, demonstrates the order of the universe.

The seed also embodies the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. Trees consume the carbon dioxide we exhale and produce the oxygen we breathe. This perfectly balanced exchange is not a coincidence but a divine design.

9. The Spectacles of Truth: Awakened Mind as a Lens
   Imagine entering a theater; you must pay. But to behold the beauty of nature, you pay nothing. The vastness of the sky, the intricate design of a tree, the behavior of animals – all are free to observe. This free access to such beauty is a testament to our good fortune.

The concept of Awakened Mind (발심) is like a pair of spectacles. The full term, Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (발 안욕따라 삼약삼보리), which is abbreviated to Awakened Mind, signifies transcending this world and realizing all truths. It is the resolve to fully embrace truth. In Buddhism, a person who has made this resolve is called a Bodhisattva (보살). In Christianity, such individuals are called deacons, evangelists, or elders.

The term Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi refers to the truth of the universe. To embrace this truth is to put on the spectacles of truth. However, many people refuse to wear these spectacles, clinging to their old ways. We must change our perspective.

10. The Synchronicity of Awakening: Hatching from the Egg
    The concept of Simultaneous Hatching (졸탁동시) describes the synchronized effort of a chick pecking from inside its egg and the mother hen pecking from the outside to help it hatch. If the chick does not peck from within, it cannot hatch.

Humans are trapped within an egg of Greed, Anger, and Ignorance (탐진치). These three poisons—desire, wrath, and foolishness—combine to keep humanity confined. If we can break free from this confinement, we can become one with the universe. However, people cling to their possessions and relationships, saying, “This is mine,” “These are my children.” This possessiveness prevents them from uniting with the universe.

My lectures are an external force, like the mother hen, providing the impetus for you to break free from this egg. Figures like Sakyamuni Buddha were those who struggled to break free from within. But many prefer to remain in the comfort of their greed, anger, and ignorance. I am here to strike the egg, to provide the motivation for you to emerge. My lectures, disseminated through media, are the external pecking. When people realize this, they will understand that breaking free from their confinement allows them to become one with the universe, forming a community of virtue. Remaining within the egg is akin to pursuing mere Blessings, which, if not shared, can turn into sin. Merits, conversely, involve returning the Blessings one receives to others.

11. The Cycle of Ice Ages and Earth as a Training Ground
    The Earth experiences ice ages approximately every 129,600 years. This cycle, derived from the Earth’s 360-degree rotation around the sun multiplied by 360, signifies a period of global freezing, followed by thawing, and the re-emergence of life. Every creature, from butterflies to humans, is meticulously designed.

The Earth is a Biological Training Ground (생체 교육장). Over this 129,600-year cycle, humans receive education. Those who learn effectively move on to the next stage, while others are “held back” and must repeat the cycle on Earth. This continuous cycle of education is what I, as the Creator, am here to facilitate. There is no true peace in the Saha World, which is supported by women.

12. Crossing the Sea of Suffering: The Vessel of Huh kyung young
    To cross the Sea of Suffering (고해의 바다) from this world to the Pure Land, one needs a vessel. In Buddhist terms, this vessel is the Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (발 안욕따라 삼약삼보리) or the Bodhisattva’s mind. However, in this era, I, Huh kyung young, am that vessel. I am here to transport you from the sea of suffering to the other shore.

I do not establish religions or organizations. I aim to become president and unify the world. Religions, in their current form, are often artificial. Heaven fears religious adherents the most. Just as a pastor fears a generous donor who scrutinizes him, religious followers often scrutinize God or me. It was the devout, not the “mad dogs,” who crucified Jesus. They were the ones who meticulously followed the law and made generous offerings.

Religions often lead to conflict. The rise of nuclear weapons in Islamic countries, potentially leading to a global nuclear war, is a grave threat. I am here to prevent this. The Islamic State’s brutal acts, such as burning people alive, echo historical religious persecutions. These religions, particularly Catholicism and Islam, are not to be underestimated.

I do not advocate for religion. Instead, I explain its principles. You yourselves must become like Jesus or Buddha. The Bodhisattva’s mind, or in this era, calling upon Huh kyung young, is what is needed to cross the sea of suffering. I am not a recipient of offerings or a religious leader; I am here to genuinely help you.

13. The Unhatched Majority: The Role of the Internet
    Ninety-nine point nine percent of humanity remains unhatched from the egg of greed, anger, and ignorance. With the advent of the internet, I will transform the world through it and television. This is not far off.

14. The Perils of Unification: Lessons from Vietnam and Germany
    The unification of North and South Korea, as advocated by some, is a dangerous proposition. The Vietnam War, where a six-party talk led to the withdrawal of American and South Korean troops, resulted in the swift communization of South Vietnam. Similarly, unification with North Korea, given the vast economic disparity (a 40:1 GDP ratio compared to Germany’s 3:1), would lead to the collapse of South Korea’s economy, particularly its shipping and shipbuilding industries, and massive unemployment.

Connecting railways to Russia and Europe would devastate these industries, as ships would become unnecessary. This would lead to the collapse of the national economy. Therefore, unification with North Korea should be delayed as long as possible. I propose 2029 for Korean unification, 2025 for Asian unification, and 2030 for world unification.

The current government’s focus on unification is misguided. We must first unify our own families, where parents and children are often at odds due to flawed education policies. Unification with North Korea would also lead to social problems, with wealthy South Korean men exploiting North Korean women.

15. The Three Elements of Unification: Integration, Fusion, and Harmony
    The three elements of unification are Integration (통합), Fusion (융합), and Harmony (화합).

Integration comprises Alliance (연합), Combination (결합), and Collection (집합), referring to territorial and structural unification.

Fusion comprises Mixture (혼합), Dissolution (용해), and Fermentation (발효), referring to the blending of cultures and systems.

Harmony comprises Concession (양보), Communication (소통), and Benevolence (박애). Currently, South Koreans lack concession, communication, and benevolence within their own families and communities. How can we unify with another nation if we cannot achieve harmony among ourselves?

Public officials often lack communication and benevolence. For example, during the Sewol ferry disaster, the president should have immediately flown to the scene and directed rescue efforts. This lack of communication and benevolence is a serious problem.

We must first educate our citizens. The Ministry of Unification should be abolished, as it creates misunderstanding and implies an intention to absorb North Korea. Similarly, the Ministry of Gender Equality should be abolished, as it suggests women are disabled. Instead, these functions should be integrated into existing ministries.

Unification should not be forced. Just as a couple should not rush into marriage, but rather allow their relationship to develop naturally, unification should occur when both sides genuinely desire it. We should continue to advocate for our position, and only consider unification when North Korea earnestly seeks it, perhaps as part of a broader Asian or world unification.

16. Reforming Education and the Dangers of Religious Extremism
    Our education system is flawed. Students should only be tested on one subject, allowing them to focus on their strengths and pursue other interests. This would eliminate the intense competition and stress of the current system, fostering better communication and benevolence within families.

Currently, our nation is moving in the opposite direction of what I envision, heading towards ruin. The current political leaders lack the vision and integrity to guide the nation.

The Saha World, with its pursuit of Blessings, is a world of suffering. The Pure Land, with its pursuit of Merits and Awakened Mind, is a realm of bliss. However, excessive religious fervor can lead to global conflict. Religions often separate families, pulling children away from their parents on weekends, preventing crucial family bonding and communication. This is why many in Europe have abandoned religion.

I am here to guide you. Calling upon Huh kyung young is the path to the Pure Land. I am not here to change those who are already like angels, but to warn the nation of its grave dangers. North Korea’s unpredictable actions are a constant threat. We must not pursue Blessings alone; we must cultivate Merits. Religions often sell Blessings, but no one sells Merits. It is crucial to understand the difference between Blessings and Merits.

17. The Metaphor of the Unfertilized Egg and the Pregnant Woman’s Smoke
    The concept of Simultaneous Hatching applies to fertilized eggs, where the chick and mother hen must act in concert. Unfertilized eggs, however, are hatched artificially by machines, without the need for a mother hen.

Regarding the question of what a pregnant woman smoking is called, it is “burning the child’s heart” (애 태우는 마음), meaning causing anxiety for the child. This is a play on words, as “애 태우다” can mean both “to burn a child” and “to cause anxiety.”

My message, though sometimes met with skepticism, is spreading. Many highly educated individuals from around the world are contacting me. My supporters number around 200 million globally, far surpassing any religious following. My books and public appearances will further disseminate my message, prompting people to examine my ideas. Just as Jesus was initially dismissed by the educated elite and followed by the uneducated, my message will eventually be recognized for its profound wisdom.

I am here to prevent global catastrophe. The world is facing immense dangers, and my words are crucial for its survival.
