God walked the earth.
Heaven, earth, and humanity will transform.
The Paradise of Immortality on earth will dawn.
—All of these revelations wait within the pages of the Dojeon.
Deep within all our hearts lie questions about life, existence, the changing world, spirits and spirituality, the cultivation and purification of the mind, and a myriad of other profound issues.
The answers to these questions await within the pages of the Dojeon in the words of Sangjenim and Taemonim, making the Dojeon a sacred text for all who strive in a quest to awaken themselves.
The Dojeon is the key that opens the door to the coming new heaven and earth.
When writings of illumination come forth, all minds will awaken. (Sangjenim, Dojeon 5:198)
The Dojeon (“Holy Scriptures of Dao”) is the sacred scriptures of Jeung San Do, the name of both the great dao of Jeung-san Sangjenim and the spiritual organization that spreads his dao throughout the world.
The eleven chapters in the Dojeon record the lives, work, and words of Jeung-san Sangjenim (shortened as ‘Sangjenim’) and Taemo Go Subunim (shortened as ‘Taemonim’). Sangjenim was the human incarnation of God the Ruler of the Universe. In life, he was known as ‘Gahng Jeung-san’ (1871–1909). Taemonim was his consort and dao successor, who in life was known as ‘Go Pan-rye’ (1880–1935).
The eleven chapters of the Dojeon are:
Chapter 1 – The Advent of Jeung-san Sangjenim
Chapter 2 – Enlightenment into Humanity’s Right Path, and the Supreme Dao of Mugeuk
Chapter 3 – Sangjenim’s Dao Order and the Disciples
Chapter 4 – The Way of Spirits, and the Government of Creation-Transformation
Chapter 5 – The Work of Renewing Heaven and Earth
Chapter 6 – The Succession of Dao, and the True Masters
Chapter 7 – The Later Heaven Gaebyeok and the Immortal Paradise of Creation-Transformation
Chapter 8 – The Workers Who Conduct the Work of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 9 – Sustenance and Blessings, Life and Longevity
Chapter 10 – Jeung-san Sangjenim’s Ascension
Chapter 11 – Taemo Go Subunim: The Great Mother
At the heart of the Dojeon is the sacred work conducted by Sangjenim and Taemonim: the Work of Renewing Heaven and Earth. Through their work, they established a series of transformations in the spirit realm and human world to ultimately bring forth a new world on earth: the Later Heaven’s Paradise of Immortality. In this world, humans and spirits become one. Through this union, humanity as a whole attains enlightenment and creates a world of harmony and peace, fulfilling all the infinite possibilities that reside deep within the human mind.
Through the words of Sangjenim and Taemonim, the Dojeon presents a vivid description of the Later Heaven Gaebyeok (or simply ‘gaebyeok’): the time of epochal transition from the Early Heaven to the Later Heaven. During the three years of gaebyeok, the entire world will be devastated by a final global war, a catastrophic disease, and a cataclysmic transformation of Earth. The Dojeon also reveals the means of deliverance bestowed upon humanity by Sangjenim.
The Dojeon speaks to those who will answer the summons to the work of heaven and earth. Those who answer this summons will be Sangjenim and Taemonim’s workers, who will dedicate their energy, passion, and lives to the unprecedented labor of saving humanity during the time of gaebyeok and pioneering a magnificent world of the Later Heaven.
