The final 49th-day memorial service for Venerable Myeongjin, who stood by the socially vulnerable and participated in movements for Buddhist autonomy and democratization, was held with solemnity. The Jogye Order posthumously awarded him the title of Grand Master (Daejongsa), the highest Dharma rank in the Order, in honor of his long years of ascetic practice and social activism. Reporter Lee Ji-yoon reports.

〔Report〕
Venerable Jeongmun, Director of the General Affairs Department of the Jogye Order, holds the certificate of Dharma rank in both hands and offers it to Venerable Myeongjin's spirit altar.
The 25-piece robe and banner, symbolizing the status of a Grand Master, are also placed in turn.
On the occasion of the 49th-day memorial service for Venerable Myeongjin, who passed away last August, the Jogye Order posthumously awarded him the title of Grand Master (Daejongsa), the highest Dharma rank in the Order.
This is to honor and show respect at the level of the Order for the life of the Venerable, which was dedicated to Zen meditation practice, reform of the Order, and action toward the socially vulnerable.
Venerable Jinwoo / President of the Jogye Order
(Although this honor may not add much weight to a Venerable who has already cast off all titles and names, it is the most solemn tribute offered by the world and the Order to a Venerable who has devoted his entire life to practicing unhindered conduct.)
Venerable Myeongjin, who entered monastic life in 1969 and devoted himself to Zen meditation practice, and who worked for Order reform and national harmony while serving as Vice Chairman of the Central Council.
During his tenure as the abbot of Bongeunsa Temple, he set an example of Order renewal and practice by disclosing the temple's finances and continuing a thousand-day prayer.
Venerable Hyeon-gi / Head Monk of Woljeongsa Temple
(Ah, sea of name, sea of light, ah, sea of truth. O sea of birth and death without a next, Myeongjin, Myeongjin, ah, sea of sorrow that can never be seen again.)
At the 49th-day memorial service for Venerable Myeongjin, who has stood by the side of the socially vulnerable, including the bereaved families of the Sewol Ferry disaster, tributes and floral offerings extended beyond the religious community to figures of civil society.
Yoo Hong-joon / Chairman of the Funeral Committee & Director of the National Museum of Korea
(Jeokmyeol is different from extinction, which means to vanish. It means remaining by our side exactly as one has ceased to exist. I believe that Venerable Myeongjin will remain by our side in that way.)
Do-ol Kim Yong-ok / Distinguished Professor, Hanshin University
(Show off the spirit of eternal freedom to your heart's content. Spread your wings with a single mind of thoughtlessness where the Gate of Birth and Death and the Gate of True Reality become one. O free man of liberation without lingering regrets, Myeongjin, O Myeongjin.)
Venerable Myeongjin, who sought reform within the Buddhist order, responded to the pain of society, and stood by the side of those who suffered.
Those left behind have now pledged to carry on the spirit of compassion that the Venerable never let go of throughout his life.
Venerable Seonyong / Disciple of Great Master Myeongjin
(I believe it is our duty to live without forgetting the conviction of compassion that the Venerable never let go of throughout his life, and his heartfelt desire to stand by the side of those who suffer.)
Although the Venerable is no longer with us, the teaching of unwavering resolve that he proclaimed with a single voice remains deeply etched in the hearts of the fourfold assembly.
The late Great Master Myeongjin / From a Dharma talk at Bongeunsa Temple on the anniversary of his passing in 2008
(The Buddha said, ‘I am like a doctor who teaches you the best prescription. Whether you take the medicine or not is not the doctor’s fault. Whether you go or not is your responsibility.’ It is truly a sacred teaching that pierces to the bone.)

사회주의 진보좌짤 체제전복운동과 궤를 같이하는 중이 민주화? 자승은 총무원장아라도 역임 했으니 대종사품계나 먹고 떨어졌다치자 사회요로에 다니면서 자승이 까 대기만한 명진이 대종사?
ㅋ,ㅋ,ㅋ 대종사나 대선사품계는 얼마전 상무주암에서 홀연 좌탈하신 현기스님 같은 선지식에나 드리는 명예요 존경의 표시다.
참 불자로써 부끄러울 따름이네...
