”Why don’t you offer Cheondosik?”

The following is an account of the blessings of dynamic meditation during a Chiseong in Kangwon province. As Told By Hee-jung Ahn(47/M)
(Translated by Taeyeon Kim)

practiced dynamic meditation on July 12th, the dynamic meditation day of His Holiness the Jongdosanim’s visiting Gangwon province. During the dynamic meditation, my father-in-law, who had passed away from a chronic disease when my wife was in fourth grade, came to me, but did not say anything.

During the Chiseong the following Sunday, my father-in-law came in the middle of the dynamic meditation and asked me “Why don’t you offer Cheondo Chiseong for your mother-in-law?” After that, in my dreams one August night, my wife’s ancestors came and asked of me “Offer Cheondo Chiseong, please.” Moreover, since my great-grandparents came during the Chiseong for preparing Cheondosik and told me to “Prostrate 105 times every day,” I now prostrate every day.

On the fifth day of devoted meditation, I saw a huge golden gate opening from Sangjenim’s altar during meditation. As Taesang Jongdosanim appeared and went through the gate, I could see a lingering glow of the sunset settled on a big mountain and river. Taesang Jongdosanim was looking at the scene and gazing at me poignantly.
