대순진리회 전경 행록 1장 17절

The Canonical Scripture: Act 1.17

​

Sangje learned that His father had been agonizing over the debt of several hundred nyang which he had borrowed from a rich man, Park of Wellspring Town (Jeongeup) County. Sangje wanted to relieve His father of worry, so He asked His father for 50 nyang. With that, He visited Park, and paid back part of the debt. While He was there, Sangje made friends with the pupils studying at Park's private school. While He was staying at the schoolhouse, the teacher had all the pupils write poems. Sangje also asked the teacher for a one-word prompt so He could compose a rhyme. His poem was so refined and exquisite; the teacher and the pupils greatly admired it. Park also felt very curious about Sangje and asked Him to stay for a while to study with his own children and nephews. Sangje reluctantly decided to stay there for a few days. After telling Park about His father's difficulties, Park was deeply touched by His filial piety and canceled the debt by burning up the promissory note.

상제께서 부친이 정읍의 박 부자로부터 수백 냥의 빚 독촉에 걱정으로 세월을 지내는 것을 아시고 부친에게 五十냥을 청하여 박 부자의 집으로 찾아가서 갚으시고 그의 사숙에 모인 학동들과 사귀셨도다. 이때 훈장이 학동에게 시를 짓게 하니 상제께서 청하셔서 낙운성시(落韻成詩)하시니 그 시격의 절묘에 훈장과 서동들이 크게 놀라니라. 박 부자도 심히 기이하게 여겨 집에 머물러 그 자질들과 함께 글 읽기를 청하는지라. 상제께서는 마지못해 며칠 머물다가 부친의 빚을 걱정하시니 그는 이에 감동되어 증서를 불사르고 채권을 탕감하였도다.
