Yongdam-Jeong, South Korea

Beyond these gates, on the slopes of Mt. Gumi, by the Dragon Pool Pavilion, a new religion was born, a religion indigenous to Korea. It is today known as Cheondoism, or Cheondo-gyo, "the religion of the heavenly way." In 1860, Su-un received a new and universal truth:  Because heaven is within us, it is meant to be experienced here on earth, not in an afterlife. [2012]
