3. THE BIRTH OF A BABY

1) The Mystery of the Woman's Body

Dr. Kang, are you here? Would the size of a woman's womb be about like this? It's only this size, but how much it expands! It expands more than rubber, raw rubber. It is mysterious. It expands more than crude rubber.

They say when you are observing a Cesarean section, all of the child in the enlarged womb can be seen. How about that? How mysterious that is. (Applause) Inside, the baby will not stay still even if God spoke to him, saying, "Little boy, don't move! Stay still!" What does he do? The baby kicks and moves just as he pleases; he never thinks what might happen if the womb pops from the inside. If the child knew it was dangerous, would he move about? (Laughter) It is actually quite dangerous. A mystery, isn't it? That is why looking at a baby is such a mystery. If you think about those things, it is fantastic. We almost want to ask him, "Hey, you! How were you born?" Try to think about how mysterious it is. If you were to create human beings like that, how would it be? You wouldn't be able to do it in a thousand years. (1982 June 20, Belvedere Training Center)

When man is born and when he dies he should try to greet Heaven and greet the Earth. (1982 Jan. 2, America)
