3. We should be shedding tears of joy instead
of tears of sadness. That is the way of the
sacred and noble Seunghwa Ceremony, the
first step the spirit of the departed takes
toward enjoying eternal life in attendance of
God, within His embrace. At the moment of
death, our spirits should feel more excited and thrilled
than a newlywed bride feels when she goes to her
groom’s home for the first time.

4. I will not leave you desolate; I will
come to you. Yet a little while, and
the world will see me no more, but
you will see me; because I live, you
will live also. In that day you will
know that I am in my Father, and you
in me, and I in you. He who has my commandments
and keeps them, he it is who loves me; and he who
loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him
and manifest myself to him.“
John 14:15-21
5. I am leaving behind eight textbooks and
teaching materials for humankind to use for
all eternity… These are textbooks you will
have to read and study even after you go to
the spirit world. They are not just teachings
that come from the mind of one person; they
are textbooks and teaching materials that teach the
heavenly way that God has granted to His suffering
children for their salvation.

6. Absorbed in the Scriptures and their
purport, he transcends the cycle of
birth and death.
Acaranga Sutra 5:122
7. This age stands in need of the holy
Preceptor's teaching. The holy Word
is the Preceptor; by devoted
meditation on it am I its disciple. By
absorbing the discourse of the
Inexpressible I remain free from the
taint of illusion.
Adi Granth, Ramkali Siddha Goshti,
M.1, p. 943
8. …all blessed families should first attend God
at the centre of their families and every day
carry out hoondok education, which can
completely unite parents and children.
