On August 6 (June 24 of the lunar calendar) at 1:00 AM, the Devotional Offering for the Anniversary of Sangje’s Passing into Heaven was solemnized with approximately 4,900 practitioners attending. June 24 of the lunar calendar in 1909 is the day when Gucheon Sangje passed into Heaven. Sangje descended to this world in 1871 in response to the pleas of divine beings, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas to save the universe from the brink of total destruction. He then performed the Reordering Work of Heaven and Earth for nine years (1901–1909) before passing into Heaven. Commemorating the day of His passing, the Religious Order holds a devotional offering every year.
