| Summary: | The article compares two parallel concepts, “resolution of grievances for mutual beneficence” in Daesoon Jinrihoe, one of Korea’s largest new religions, and “resolving grievances to make life harmonious” in the Taiwanese new religion Weixin Shengjiao. Exploring the two concepts show their similarities, as both are grounded in a sacred history and emphasize ancient grievances of ancestral times. Differences, however, also emerge. Daesoon Jinrihoe’s resolution of grievances is based on the idea of the “Reordering of the Universe (Heaven and Earth),” performed by the Supreme God, Sangje, incarnated on Earth as Kang Jeungsan (1871-1909). Weixin Shengjiao places more emphasis on the individual solutions of grievances based on the practical aspects of I Ching, i.e. divination and Feng Shui. Both religions see themselves as including the Three Teachings of Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism, but Weixin Shengjiao seems to rely more on Buddhist sources, while Daesoon Jinrihoe, which also has some Buddhist features, seems to share more elements with Daoism and Confucianism. |
