The Lord of Heaven and Earth Incarnate

The Lord of Heaven and Earth Incarnate *Dojeon 3:129
9 An Eastern Learning mantra says, ‘Si-cheon-ju Jo-hwa-jeong&’—this speaks of My work.

10 I journeyed throughout the three realms surveying them, to address the turmoil in the spirit realm and human world by establishing the Government of Creation-Transformation and renewing heaven and earth.

11 “I finally came to your Eastern land to save its people first from the abyss of suffering and then to resolve all the bitterness and grief that has accumulated throughout the ages.

12 Those who follow Me shall gain eternal bliss in the Paradise of Immortality. My dao is the true Eastern Learning.”

 

東學 : Eastern Learning (=Donghak)

Eastern Learning is a popular Korean spiritual and social movement founded in the mid-nineteenth century by Choe Su-un (aka Choe Je-u). Eastern Learning proclaimed the coming of the Later Heaven Gaebyeok and the arrival of a mysterious disease and disasters during this gaebyeok (‘rebirth and renewal of the world’).
