“If the impurities inside salt are to be completely removed, what must be done?
It must be dissolved in the blink of an eye.
Only then can those impurities be removed.
Otherwise, it cannot be done before the heavy metals melt and come out.
People make bamboo salt in their own ways.
Businesspeople may quarrel among themselves, each with their own spite.
As for me, I even published the method of making bamboo salt in the newspaper.
But the reason I did not reveal the complete secret of removing all impurities is this:
Anyone who learned from me thoroughly should be able to make it properly.
But people try it a little, and as soon as they see that it works, they begin thinking first about selling it.
To sell something, it must first be a complete product.
How much heavy metal still remains in it?
If they know that and proceed, that is one thing.
But most of them are too vague about it.
In general, the people making bamboo salt do not have the basic knowledge needed to make the real thing.
I should reveal it thoroughly.
But if I reveal it completely, no one will be able to make it, because it is too difficult.
And then they will accuse me of trying to prevent others from making it.
So if I let them make it in whatever way they can, that too may still help people.
If it harmed people, I could not allow it.
There is no use in me alone speaking about health.
Even now, somewhere in the world, many people are doing things that harm health.
One person struggles for health, while many others do things that damage it.
That is truly the problem.”
My father transmitted the secret to me from heart to heart.
When I actually carried it out, I realized that most people could die while trying to do it.
It is that difficult.
That is why he did not leave it fully in spoken words or written form.
He did not reveal the complete secret.
He only left and spoke of the methods that people could carry out.
And yet, even with only those methods, so many people have made so many distorted forms of bamboo salt.
My father knew all of this.
That is why he could not leave the complete secret openly in the world.
Even for me, who carries out my father’s method with my life on the line,
it is harder than death.
And yet—
Bamboo salt, the divine substance that saves people.
To save life,
it must be harder than death.
