Shin Jeong Yil[1] (Shin Jeongyil, Korean: 신정일; Hanja: 申正一, 1938–1999) was the founder of Hanol-gyo (Korean spiritual foundation),[2] a politician (the founder of Unified Korea party)[3] and an entrepreneur(the founder of Hanon Group).[4]

Hanol-gyo

[edit]

Hanol-gyo was established based on Hanol principle which is the teachings on enlightenment and awakening; it pursues self-liberation of consciousness rather than the traditional ways of religious worship.[5]

According to its doctrine of Spiritual Acceptance, Hanol-gyo is open to multi-culture as it allows its participants from various cultures to practice their religion as well. It regards all enlightened beings (Dangun, Buddha, Jesus, Lao-tzu, Confucius, etc.) as teachers of enlightenment and awakening, and various religions as the pursuit of True Spirituality in different ways. Its aim is to overcome all forms of separations (e.g., religion, race, ideology and so on).[6]

The Founder's Doctrine is "Naol is Hanol", which means "My true spiritual nature is one with the spiritual nature of All."[7]

"The conversion of 800,000 people to the Hanol Spiritual movement laid a foundation for the creation of the Hanol Spiritual Foundation, which was approved by the Korean Government as a legitimate religion in 1967. The Governmental recognition led to the rapid development of its branches throughout the country and the followers of Hanol-gyo reached 2 million members at its peak. According to the «Encyclopedia of Korean Culture», there were 2 million followers during its heyday. Another survey of the «Current status of religious groups» published by the Ministry of Culture and Public Information shows that there were 520,000 followers in 1982, and approximately 410,000 followers in 1997, with 186 branches located throughout the country including the main temples in the major cities of Seoul, Busan and Daegu."

Other activities

[edit]

As a politician, Shin formed the Unified Korea Political Party and ran for the South Korean presidency twice,[9] in the 13th election in 1987[10] and 15th election in 1997.[11]

As the founder and chairman of the Hanon Group,[12] Shin acquired the right to develop one of the largest crude oil mines in Iraq.[13] He protested against the war in Iraq and supplied medicine for the children suffering from the war. As recognition of his humanitarian and diplomatic efforts, he was appointed to the Honorary Consul by both the Iraqi and South Korean governments.[14]

Later years

[edit]

Shin passed away in 1999.[15] According to the press, "unprecedented number of sari (sacred crystals found among the cremated remains of enlightened monks and Buddha) were found[16] and witnessed by many people including clerics and monks of other religions.[17] Hanol-gyo has been exhibiting the sari at the Commemoration Ceremonies of the Founder."[18][19]
