Won-Buddhism
The name “Won-Buddhism” (Won-Bul-Gyo in Korean) is a compound word for truth, enlightenment, and teaching. Won means “circle” and symbolizes the ultimate truth. Bul means “enlightenment,” and gyo means “teaching the truth.” Therefore, Won-Buddhism is the path that leads us to become enlightened to the truth.
Won-Buddhism, a reformed and modernized Buddhism, is a religion that teaches us how to use our minds. Our lives and this world are the manifestations of our minds, so the knowledge of how to use our minds is fundamental and the key to leading happy and successful lives.
Prime Dharma Master Daesan
Venerable Daesan (Kim Dae-geo, 1914–1998), the third Prime Dharma Master of Won-Buddhism, dedicated his life to eradicating human poverty, disease, and ignorance and bringing about world peace. It was his particular wish to cultivate the fallow mind-fields of humankind and to create broader, greater, and more radiant minds. He searched for new ways in which humans could live and prosper together rather than competing to survive, and, recognizing that the foundation of world peace was people of religious faith working together with one mind, he devoted his life to establishing an international organization for religious cooperation. Having proclaimed the oneness of the world throughout his lifetime, he left behind the following verse offering a path to harmony and eventual world peace:
The truth is one.
The world is one.
Humankind is one family.
The world is one workplace.
Let us cultivate the Il-Won world.
