History [link]

Boeun, literally "offering gratitude" or "thanksgiving", was named in 1406 by a remorseful King Taejong, who felt relieved that he had cleared his conscience after having participated at a ceremonial ritual at the local Beopjusa temple to appease the spirits of his dead younger half-brothers. He had caused the their deaths during a power struggle years ago.[1]

In July 1973, Boeun township was elevated to the status of Boeun town.[2] In 1983, two townships were abolished and incorporated into normal ones. In 2007, Hoebuk-myeon changed its name to Hoein-myeon, Oesongni-myeon to Jangan-myeon, and Naesonngni-myeon into Songnisan-myeonn.[3]

Boeun (Jeungsando)

報恩 (Offering Gratitude and Repaying)

Boeun is one of the main teachings of Jeungism. Bo (報) means "repay" and eun (恩) means "gratitude". Its literal meaning is repay other's gratitude to me.

Why Boeun is important?

It is recommended to understand the concept of Cosmic year in order to understand better the context of these type of teachings.

As a human being, the most important thing is its life. Without its life, nothing can be more important. Anything that we can think of in our daily life such as money, fame, power, etc. can not be more important because once my life is gone, everything is useless. How one can be rich, famous, and influential without having himself/herself?

Therefore, life is the most important thing for human being. Then, who gave its life? That must be parents. Without parents, one can not be born. For this reason, human being must offer respect to parents and ancestors. This concept is related with Wunshibanbon(Returning to the Origin).

Aspects

One aspect of offering gratitude and repaying is to offer respect to parents, ancestors, and teachers to whom we are all indebted. Another is to avoid unnecessary indebtedness and dependence so that we can act freely. It also involves giving credit where credit is due.

Feed The Demons

by: Pain

Creeping and Cracking
Baby don't look back, no one goes home tonight
The evil we see and the evil we do
Brings out the beast in me and you
Waking up from screaming
You think it's all in your head
My my, it's a bad day to be alive
It's crawling under your skin and feeds of your hate
Just close your eyes and wait till the sun goes down
You better stay awake
The dark comes knocking so you better start running
Fear the demon in me, Fear the demon in you
Hear the voices calling you
Shadow's tongue licking your flesh
Rips the clothes clean of your body
Strip you clean straight down to the bones
You can't stay awake, You can't fall asleep
He's coming for your life
Don't wanna wake up dead, you know you're over your head
There ain't no turning back
You better stay awake
The dark comes knocking so you better start running
Fear the demon in me, Fear the demon in you
Laying in sweet tears
Dreams are turning into a living hell
The nightmares you see and the terror you feel
Takes a turn for the worse and becomes real
You better stay awake
The dark comes knocking so you better start running
