WHO WE WORSHIP

The Supreme God’s Descent into the Human World

When facing despair and calamities, people naturally look to deities, buddhas, and bodhisattvas to find some sense of solace. Unbeknownst to humanity; however, deities, buddhas, and bodhisattvas have their own source of solace, and that is none other than the highest Celestial Worthy, the Supreme God of the Ninth Heaven, the one who presides with supreme authority over the cosmos. It was He whom they gathered and petitioned in humanity's darkest hour, and it was He who descended into the world to rectify disorder and reveal the path to an everlasting paradise. Brick by brick, this path is paved as we collectively resolve grievances and grudges, live in accordance with mutual beneficence, and serve one another in gratitude through Daesoon Jinri (Daesoon Truth) revealed by the Supreme God.

Today's Verse from Our Scripture

Of all the surnames, the most ancient is the surname Kang (姜), which originated from Shennong millennia ago. The first member of this ancient line to settle in the Korean Peninsula was the great ancestor of the Kangs, I-Sik. Genealogical records of the Kang family-line of Guangzhou, China, reveal the background of Kang I-Sik's life. Those records tell us that: ‶After Duke Kang, under the order of Emperor Wen of Sui, subjugated the whole country, his son, who later went on to become Emperor Yang, dethroned the emperor and Duke Kang resigned from his post.″ Another genealogical record of the Kang family-line of Jinju, Korea, was written in the Eulchuk Year (1685) under the reign of King Sukjong. This record introduced Kang I-Sik as follows: ‶During the Sui's Invasion of Goguryeo, Duke Kang became the commander of the Sui army and then reached the Salsu River. He realized that Sui would fall into disorder and decided to remain rather than return home to his country.″ Kang I-Sik, the progenitor of the Kangs of Jinju, moved to the Korean Peninsula during the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Starting with the first ancestor, Kang I-Sik, the family-line continued to the 31st generation descendant, Kang Se-Ui, who retired to the village county of Gobu. Kang Se-Ui's descendants continued another six generations until the time of the three brothers, Jin-Chang, Wu-Chang, and Eung-Chang. All of whom lived there.
