From the 8th to the 13th of May, Director of the Academic Dept, Seongam Kim Wuk and five other officials visited Taiwan at the invitation of Prof. Yu Guk-Wi(劉國#) who is affiliated with Dept. of Religious Studies at Foguang University. Prof. Yu took part in the World Conference of Religions in June, 2007 and he was very touched by the faithful and our efforts to keep self-identity as the most Korean religion. He also had a good impression of the fact that Daejin University had inaugurated the Religious Studies Department(Daesoonjonghak or Daesoon Studies), who continued to build a good relationship with Daesoonjinrinhoe and asked the Religious Order to attend the conference held in May 9 and 10. The scope of the conference is "Religious Rite and Cure." The aim is to set the stage for scholars, researchers, and religious leaders to exchange their learning, ideas, doctrines, and experiences by bringing harmony beyond the barrier. Prof. Lee Gyeong-Won from Dept. of Daesoonjonghak presented the significant thesis titled "Religious Symbols Embedded in the Rites of Daesoonjinrihoe." Each country demonstrated a religious rite afterwards. Daesoonjinrihoe put on a demonstration of the Prayer Rite which is done on the daily basis. Each attendee gave unsparing applauds to it. Lastly, the participation in this international conference drew a very fruitful outcome that the religious leaders and the scholars abroad became more familiar with various aspects of Daesoon thought and religious practice, which can be a stepping stone to the propagation of Sangje's virtue throughout the world.

- Daesoonjinrihoe Offers Help to Taean-gun for Cleaning up the Oil Spill
About 2,000 high ranking officials affiliated with Daesoonjinrihoe Yeoju Headquarters Temple Complex helped clean up the oil spill at Beodli Beach around Hwangchon-ri village in Wonbuk-myeon, Taean-gun on Jan. 5. Riding the 45 large-sized buses, some full-sized vans and cars, they left Yeoju around 6am and arrived at Hwangchon-ri at 9:30am. After getting off the buses, the volunteers walked to the spot near Hwangchon-ri village for 15 minutes. In the village, there was a control tower where Director of the National Emergency Management Agency, Mun Won-Gyeong and Mayor of Taean-gun, Jin Tae-Gu greeted the high officials and the laity. They were told where and how to clean up and went down to the beach taking protective clothing and absorbent mats along. The participants started cleaning up the beach from 10am with protective clothes on. Using towels and cloths, they wiped up oil residues and turned over the marbles and sand to gather oil lumps. This process was repeated without a break in spite of repulsive odor until the time of high tide. Thus, they grabbed snacks like cup noodle or rice cake for lunch. Approaching the high tide, the collected oil lumps and residues were carried to the tractors and the trucks. Despite the rising tide, the participants worked until 4pm and finally retreated from the beach leaving a sense of regret. Even though it was a short time, they devoted themselves to cleaning-up feeling worth of helping others. Moreover, they kept their fingers crossed that the Taean residents live a normal life and the beautiful scenery is restored as soon as possible. The idea of providing a help for Taean-gun was brought up by a hundred of people from the youth group and women's association in Yeoju Dojang after their visiting Taean to help cleaning-up on Dec. 14. Meanwhile, the officials in Yeoju Volunteer Center participated in volunteering by offering coffee and tea for the workers. Daesoonjinrihoe has prioritized relief work for the victims of unexpected disasters like floods and typhoons. In addition to the aid for the people in need, we have actively taken part in a nature conservation campaign and the activities relating natural purification.
