Helping humanity endure the hardships of Gaebyeok is one of the fundamental mandates Sangjenim entrusted to His followers. In that time of crisis, Jeung San Do practitioners—organized into Vanguards of Six—will go forth to care for those afflicted by the mysterious disease. Through uitong (“saving and uniting”), a healing practice drawing upon the power of the Taeeulju Mantra, the faithful will strive to preserve life.
