- Daesoonjinrihoe Participates in the International Conference Held in Taiwan
- 2016-06-27
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.
