Jinsil-ui Gil Religion

[Kronica | Nora]

Jinsil-ui Gil (mostly known as the shortened name Jinsilism) is a faith that was founded by Lee Hye-Ri (“the Balg-eun”) more than 2,500 years ago in Nora. The believers of this religion are called "진실의 추종자" (Jinsil-ui Chujongja), Jinsilist or Jinsiljongja for short. Here are the key beliefs that make Jinsilism together.

• Followers of Jinsilism don’t acknowledge a supreme god or deity. They instead focus on achieving enlightenment—a state of inner peace and wisdom. When followers reach this spiritual echelon, they’re said to have experienced nirvana.
• The religion’s founder, Balg-eun, is considered an extraordinary woman, but not a god. The word Balg-eun means “enlightened.”
• The path to enlightenment is attained by utilizing morality, meditation and wisdom. Jinsilists often meditate because they believe it helps awaken truth.
• There are many philosophies and interpretations within Jinsilism, making it a tolerant and evolving religion.
• Some scholars don’t recognize Jinsilism as an organized religion, but rather, a “way of life” or a “spiritual tradition.”
• Jinsilism encourages its people to avoid self-indulgence but also self-denial.
• Balg-eun’s most important teachings, known as The Four Noble Truths, are essential to understanding the religion.
• Jinsilists embrace the concepts of karma (the law of cause and effect) and reincarnation (the continuous cycle of rebirth).
• Followers of Jinsilists can worship in temples or in their own homes.
• Jinsilist monks, or sudosas, follow a strict code of conduct, which includes celibacy.
• The symbol of Jinsilism is the lotus flower, symbolising the inner peace and prosperity. Other de facto symbols include Jinsilist manja and the annyeong (a Korean word means "well-being.")
• Balg-eun's teachings are known as “dauggeu.” She taught that wisdom, kindness, patience, generosity and compassion were important virtues.
  
  Specifically, all Jinsilists live by five moral precepts, which prohibit:
  • Killing living things
  • Taking what is not given
  • Sexual misconduct
  • Lying
  • Using drugs or alcohol
    Four Noble Truths
    The Four Noble Truths, which Balg-eun taught, are:
    • The truth of suffering (beung-ji)
    • The truth of the cause of suffering (sokko-ji)
    • The truth of the end of suffering (toreung-ji)
    • The truth of the path that frees us from suffering (baeknondo-ro)
      Collectively, these principles explain why humans hurt and how to overcome suffering.
      
      Eightfold Path
      The balg-eun taught her followers that the end of suffering, as described in the fourth Noble Truths, could be achieved by following an Eightfold Path.
      
      In no particular order, the Eightfold Path of Jinsilism teaches the following ideals for ethical conduct, mental disciple and achieving wisdom:
      
      
    • Right understanding (Olbaleun ihae)
    • Right thought (Olbaleun saeng-gag)
    • Right speech (Olbaleun yeonseol)
    • Right action (Olbaleun haengdong)
    • Right livelihood (Olbaleun saeng-gye)
    • Right effort (Olbaleun nolyeog)
    • Right mindfulness (Olbaleun ma-eum chaeng-gim)
    • Right concentration (Olbaleun nongdo)

Jinsilists revere many sacred texts and scriptures. Some of the most important are:

• Tokkureo-ri: These texts, known as the “three baskets,” are thought to be the earliest collection of Jinsilist writings.
• Baekkou-ri: There are more than 2,000 baekkou, which are sacred teachings embraced mainly by Orthodox Jinsilists.
• The Book of the Dead: This old Norese text describes the stages of death in detail.
  
  Jinsilist Holidays
  Every year, Jinsilists celebrate Tounkeo, a festival that commemorates Balg-eun’s birth, enlightenment and death in July 6th. (Balg-eun is told to be born in the beginning of July, but the date is not known yet accepted to be July 6th.)
  
  During each quarter of the moon, followers of Jinsilists participate in a ceremony called Geugkka. This observance allows Jinsilists to renew their commitment to their teachings.
  
  They also celebrate the Jinsilist New Year (September 7th) and participate in several other yearly festivals such as Meokku, a month-wide holiday in February which celebrates the four elements fire, water, air and earth, Iekkou that celebrates the harvesting season in every 5th of every month expect February because it is Meokku, Geoupaggan that celebrates diversity as races, language, skin colour and sexualities in May 9th to May 13th and Keok which celebrates the knowledge and wisdom in every 23rd of August.
