The Dojeon

When writings of illumination come forth, all minds shall awaken. (Dojeon 5:279:6)

These words, spoken by Sangjenim in 1909, foretold the future emergence of the Dojeon (“The Holy Scriptures of Dao”), through which the teachings of Sangjenim and Taemonim would be conveyed to the world.

The original Korean Dojeon was published on October 25, 1992, marking the 122nd anniversary of Sangjenim’s incarnation. Its compilation followed twenty years of extensive research and fieldwork by Jeung San Do practitioners, who gathered written and oral testimonies from the disciples of Sangjenim and Taemonim, as well as from their descendants and followers. The revised Korean edition, published in 2003, required an additional eleven years of investigation and verification, carefully reviewing both historical and newly discovered testimonies to confirm dates, locations, events, and individuals connected to Sangjenim’s and Taemonim’s work of renewing heaven and earth. In total, the Dojeon represents more than three decades of collective dedication.

Because the universal truths contained in this sacred scripture are intended for all humanity, Jeung San Do later translated the Dojeon into English, Japanese, Chinese, German, French, Spanish, and Russian.
