- The 25th Daesoon Youth Winter Camp Ended in Great Success
The 25th Daesoon Youth Winter Camp at Daejin Youth Training Center, which began on January 2, 2018 and ended on January 20, was regarded as a great success. The camp was divided into seven different three-day-long sessions to accommodate a variety of age groups as the camp spanned students ranging from fourth graders to high school students. The theme of the camp was “Do not disregard the beneficencebestowed upon you,” which is the fourth item among the five that make up the Precepts of Daesoon Jinrihoe. Hence, the goal of the activity was to “encourage Daesoon youths to reciprocate favors.” The participants of the camp cleaned at Daejin Nursing Facilities and held a morale-boosting performance during the hours that they volunteered. They learned and practiced a great deal for the dance and song performance in order to make sure the elders would enjoy it. After the volunteer work, many students shared that while volunteering, they had thought about their grandparents and were determined to do nice things for them after returning home from the camp.

- Chiseong to commemorate the day of Doju's birth
Daesoon Jinrihoe held the Chiseong (devotional offering) to celebrate the birthday of Doju (the Holy Founder) at Yeoju Headquarters Temple Complex at 1:00 am on January 20 (the fourth day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar). The Chiseong was attended by roughly 7,000 participants. On December 4, 1895, Doju was born in Hoemun-ri, Chilseo-myeon,Gyeongsang Province. According to The Daesoon Jichim, the phrase “Rebirth on December 26“ from The Jeon-gyeong indicates the day of Doju’s birth on December 4, which marks the completion of a perfect annual circuit(360 days). The advent of Doju on December 4 conveys the holiness of the Orthodox Religious Authority that had been bestowed to Daesoon Lineage Holders directly by Heaven. Doju,who received the revelation of orthodox religious authority from Sangje (The Supreme God), generated the methods of cultivation, ceremonial procedures, andother regulations. At the end of his life, he passed the Orthodox Religious Authority to Dojeon (Holy Leader)Park Wudang with his last words prior to passing into heaven in 1958. *Daesoon Jichim: a summaryof Dojeon Park Wudang’s teachingswhich provides the guidelines for cultivation.
