Su-un and His World of Symbols explores the image which Choe Che-u
(Su-un), the founder of Donghak (Eastern Learning) Korea's first
indigenous religion, had of himself as a religious leader and human
being. Su-un gave his life so that he could share his symbols, his
scriptures and the foundational principals of his religion with all
people, regardless of their status, gender, age or education. His
egalitarian creed challenged the major religious traditions in
Korea, and Korean society as a whole, to reflect on the innate
dignity of each individual, and to reform their social, ethical and
religious practices to accord with the reality of the Divine
presence in the 'sacred refuge' that lies within. Exploring the two
symbols which Su-un created and used to disseminate his religion,
and the two books of Scripture which he composed, this book breaks
new ground by presenting the only major work in English which
attempts to ascertain the image Su-un had of himself as the
prototype of a new kind of religious leader in Korea, and by
extension, East Asia.
