The Way of the Sovereign, Teacher and Father

by autumn wind 2023. 12. 10.

The intangible spirit and tangible matter reside as one within One Qi, Samsin


[君師父의 道]


庶物之有虛粗同軆者는 惟一氣而已오 惟三神而已라.

有不可窮之數하며 有不可避之理하며 有不可抗之力하야
有或善不善이 報諸永劫하며 
有或善不善이 報諸自然하며 
有或善不善이 報諸子孫이니라

人物이 同受三眞이나 惟衆은 迷地하야
三妄이 着根하고 眞妄이 對하야 作三途하니라.
父道는 法天하야 眞一无僞하고 
師道는 法地하야 勤一无怠하고
君道는 法人하야 協一无違니라.

[The Way of the Sovereign, Teacher and Father]

Among all things, it is solely within the One Qi (一氣) and Samsin (三神) where the intangible spirit and tangible matter reside as one.

Within Samsin exists infinite numbers(數), unavoidable principle(理), and irresistible force(力).
As such all acts, whether good or evil, will reap their rewards throughout eternity; all acts, whether good or evil, will reap their rewards throughout nature; and all acts, whether good or evil, will reap their rewards throughout the generations.

The following is recorded in the Gyeong (“Scriptures): Humans and all other beings are endowed with the three truths (nature, life, and essence). However, only humans become bewildered during their earthly life, causing the three delusions (mind, qi, and body) to take root. These three delusions and three truths combine, giving rise to the three paths (emotion, breathing, and sensation).

The way of the father is emulating heaven to achieve truth, and truth alone without falsehood.
The way of the teacher is emulating earth to achieve diligence, and diligence alone without laziness.
The way of the sovereign is emulating humanity to achieve harmony, and harmony alone without conflict.
