The Five Elements and the Importance of Offering Water

   

"Humans should respect the spirits, living in line with their ways."
Dojeon 4:70:6

Jeung San Do practitioners gather at dojangs (dao centers) for ceremonial rituals called chiseongs, in which they meditate and honor the spirit world. An offering of water, light, and incense is made to Sangjenim and Taemonim as well as the ancestral spirits and other celestial and terrestrial spirits. In special chiseongs there may be offerings of food and clothing. Every chiseong includes bowing, prayer, chanting meditation, and readings from a sacred text called the Dojeon. Carried out with utmost sincerity, attentiveness, and faithfulness, a chiseong fosters oneness with heaven and earth.



Daily Chiseong

At each dojang, simple chiseongs are held twice a day accompanying morning and evening mediation. Anyone seeking to learn the dao of Sangjenim and Taemonim can attend. At these daily chiseongs newcomers can receive instruction on the art of chanting meditation and other aspects of Jeung San Do spirituality.


Wednesday and Sunday Chiseongs

As part of the regular practice of initiated members, there are chiseongs held on Wednesday evening and Sunday morning. These include discussion of Jeung San Do's spiritual teachings.
