The Scripture of the Founding Master
Chapter Fifteen: Entrusting
12
The Founding Master said, “There are three difficulties facing a religious order. One is the difficulty of understanding the absolute realm of Il-Won. Two is the difficulty of incorporating the truth of Il-Won into one’s conduct, so that one will practice with One suchness in action and rest. Three is the difficulty of teaching the truth of Il-Won concisely and clearly to the general public. Nevertheless, the most difficult task becomes easy if practitionesr firmly make up their minds and devote themselves to attaining it. On the other hand, for those who are not willing to pursue it or who give up midway, even the easiest task becomes difficult.”
