Background

Over one hundred years ago, Sangjenim
Sangjenim
Sangje, or Sangjenim, is the Ruling God in the Korean religion Jeung San Do.- Meaning :Since ancient times, the people of the East have called the Ruling God of the universe "Sangje"...

 (God the Father) was the first in all of Eastern and Western history to proclaim and fully describe the Later Heaven Gaebyeok
Gaebyeok
In the Korean religion of Jeungism, the term Gaebyeok refers to a sudden change in nature, society and human beings.-Great Opening 開闢:Jeungism calls a sudden change in culture, human and nature, Gaebyeok...

. The precept of Gaebyeok applies to heaven and earth and to the realms of humanity and spirits, and it answers the mysteries of nature, explains the secrets of civilization, and resolves the limitations of Eastern and Western religions and philosophies.

After Sangjenim’s ascension to heaven, the truth of gaebyeok was widely disseminated by the successor of His Dao lineage and authority, Taemonim (God the Mother).

The original Dojeon was published in Korean on October 25, 1992 for the 122nd commemoration of Sangjenim’s birth, and it entailed twenty years of extensive research and fieldwork by Jeung San Do practitioners as they compiled the written and oral testimonies of Sangjenim’s and Taemonim’s disciples, the disciples’ descendants, and the disciples’ students.

The publication of the 2003 revised edition took an additional eleven years of effort involving further research and extensive review of old and new testimonials to verify and discover dates, sites, events, and people related to Sangjenim’s and Taemonim’s works of renewing heaven and earth.

The foreign-language translations of the Dojeon are based mostly on the 1992 Korean edition. Thus, the Dojeon represents thirty years of dedication by many people; it is the culmination of Jeung San Do’s culture.
