The Age of Sages

The Age of Sages *Dojeon 2:16

6 “The Early Heaven has been an age of conquerors in which sin has been the way of life, but the Later Heaven shall be an age of sages in which benevolence shall be the way of life.

7 Solemnity prevailed in the Early Heaven, but laughter shall prevail in the Later Heaven.

8 “Our work is the practice of helping others flourish. After others prosper, we need only to take what remains and our work will be accomplished. 9 Jeon Myeong-suk attempted a revolution to transform commoners into nobles, and for this he was rewarded in the afterlife with the glory of becoming the Great King of the Joseon Myeongbu(The Court of Judgment in the Hereafter).”

 

The message that Jeung San Do intends to convey to the public is this: ‘The cosmic season is giving way to autumn. The Autumn Gaebyeok is coming. Jeung San Do is a truth which aims to save people by spreading across the world the dao of Gang Jeung-san Sangjenim, who incarnated as a human at this time of the age of the Autumn Gaebyeok. At the time of the Autumn Gaebyeok, when all are faced with inevitable death, what must be done to save others and oneself?’ This is the core message of Jeung San Do’s teachings, which are uniquely different from all the religions and philosophies of the past. Therefore, Jeung San Do can be considered ‘a truth that transcends religion.’
