   The one constant in the universe is change, and at the
time of the Autumn Gae-byuk, the direction of that change is returning to the
origin. In our lives we often have the desire to return to our origins whether
it means returning home after a long journey, discovering our ethnic and cultural
roots, seeking the origianl purpose of our lives, or returning to the origin
of life through meditation. The practice of returning to the origin is discovering
who we truly are. It can also entail solving a problem at tis root.

   There is dae.

   Within dao there is virtue that raises all things.

   From virtue there is birth.

   From birth there comes growth.

   From growth multitudes of people come forth.

   From people comes humanity.

   There is one thing all of humanity desires.

   That is to find its root.
