Cheondoism

Rare card · No. 52075

Cheondoism (spelled Chondoism in North Korea; Korean: 천도교) is a 20th-century Korean panentheistic religion, based on the 19th-century Donghak religious movement founded by Choe Je-u and codified under Son Byong-hi. Cheondoism has its origins in the peasant rebellions which arose starting in 1812 during the Joseon. Cheondoism is monistic and incorporates elements of Korean shamanism. It places emphasis on personal cultivation and social welfare in the present world. Splinter movements include Suwunism and Bocheonism.
