Hanol-gyo ((朝鮮語:한얼교), Hanol gyo or Hanolgyo) is a Korean traditional religion based on the philosophy of ''Spiritual Transcendence'',〔(한국브리태니커 온라인 -한얼교 ), Encyclopedia Britannica online Korea 'Hanol-gyo'〕 re-established by Shin Jeong Yil.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=신정일(Shin Jeong Yil) ) ''Doosan Encyclopedia''〕 Hanolgyo can be considered as a religious re-establishment of the national founding philosophy of Korea which foresaw the possibility of an evolution in human consciousness 5000 years ago;〔(Hanol-gyo ) at Hanol-gyo official website〕 it laid the spiritual foundation for the old Korean empire Gochosun (Gojoseon).〔(Hongick Ingan ) at Encyclopedia Britannica online Korea〕 The progenitor of Hanol-gyo, Dangun (the founding father of Korea who established the old Korean empire, Gojoseon)〔(한국 브리태니커 온라인 ‘단군’ ) Encyclopedia Britannica online Korea ‘단군 Dangun’〕 initiated ''the principles of the Hanol Spirit'' (the teachings on Enlightenment and Awakening)〔(Hanolgyo - ''Encyclopedia of Asian Philosophy'' ) Oliver Leaman, Routledge, 2001. p.383〕 introducing the possibility of spiritual transcendence to its people: the evolution of human consciousness from the ego-state to the transcendental-state.〔(A guidance to Hanol-gyo )〕 After 5000 years, ''the principles of the Hanol Spirit'' were consolidated into a religious foundation by another awakened being, Shin Jeong Yil, the founder of the Hanol religion (Hanol-gyo).〔(Shin Jeong Yil, the founder of Hanol-gyo ) - Hanol-gyo official website〕 Dangun's famous dictum, well known as the founding principle of Korea is to "unite and benefit all in existence-홍익인간 Hongick Ingan”.〔(홍익인간(Hongick Ingan) ) ''Encyclopedia of Korean Culture''〕 Hanol principle is the teachings on enlightenment and awakening; it pursues self-liberation of consciousness rather than the traditional ways of religious worship.〔한얼말씀 26권 p.217-222 (The Hanol Scriptures)〕 According to the Official Guidance to Hanol-gyo, Hanol-gyo is an unconventional religion: it allows its adherents to practice other religions as well. It regards all enlightened beings (Dangun, Buddha, Jesus, Lao-tzu, Confucius, etc.) as teachers of enlightenment and awakening,〔(종교합일사상 (The Religious Unification) ) Encyclopedia of Korean Culture〕 and various religions as the pursuit of Universal Truth in different ways. Its aims are to understand and practice Universal Truth, and to overcome all forms of segregation (e.g. Religion, Race, Ideology and so on).〔 "The founder's Doctrine "''Na-Ol'' is ''Han-Ol''" means “My spiritual essence is the spiritual essence of ''Han''”"〔(한국민족문화대백과 ‘한얼교’ ) Encyclopedia of Korean Culture Hanol-gyo〕 ''HAN'' is a profound word symbolizing Infinity & Totality and Universal Truth.〔<만년성서> The native name for Korea is Han Kook, meaning "the Nation of ''Han''".〔(한국민족문화대백과 ‘한’ ) Encyclopedia of Korean Culture ‘Han’〕 "Hanol-gyo helps to find one's true nature (''Na-Ol'') which is one with ''Han-Ol'',〔 and fulfill one's true nature by practicing love, wisdom and devotion — the will of Absolute Benevolence." 〔<한얼의 서> p.160 In the churches and temples of Hanol-gyo, there are no figures to worship: instead there is an "Empty Chair" that symbolizes the invisible and silent nature of one's true essence beyond one's physical form of self and mental form of ego — the ''Na-Ol''.〔(단군의 홍익인간 뜻 계승한 민족종교 한얼교 ) (코리아 라이프 2008년6월 P.88 이강훈 기자) ‘Hanol-gyo, the succession of the progenitor Dangun’s Hanol Spirit (Korea Life June 2008 issue P.88 Journalist, Kanghoon Lee) 〕 The invisibility and stillness also reflect the essence of ''Hanol'', which is ultimately one with ''Na-Ol''.〔<한얼의 서> p.213 ==History== In the historical record of Hanol-gyo(한얼교),〔한얼말씀 36권 p.365-366 (''The Hanol Scriptures'')〕 Shin Jeong Yil (신정일) the Founder, achieved spiritual transcendence, the Awakening in 1965, and spread the teachings on ''Hanol''.〔(신정일 (Shin Jeong Yil) ) Encyclopedia of Korean Culture〕 He re-established the ''Hanol'' religion, which was on the verge of distortion and extinction after 5,000 years of historical turbulence.〔<만년성서> 도서출판 정화사 "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."〔(두산백과 ‘한얼교’ ) Doosan Encyclopedia 'Hanol-gyo'〕 The Governmental recognition led to the rapid development of its branches throughout the country〔전환기의 한국 종교 p.251 서울대학교 종교학과 종교문화 연구실 편. 집문당. 1986년 출판 Korean Religion in the Period of Transition p.251 Seoul National University’s Department of Religious Studies research center, published in 1986〕 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.〔 In 1970, the main temple of Hanol-gyo was built at the heart of the National Sanctuary Mani Mountain (the origin of the Old Korean Empire) and Hanol-gyo began an annual pilgrimage to pray for the peace of mankind.〔(마니산 성지순례기도행사 ) ''JoongAng Ilbo''.

The Annual pilgrimage to Mani mountain〕 It re-established 5,000 years of tradition initiated by the progenitor Dangun.〔 In 1998, Shin Jeong Yil published the ''Hanol Scriptures'', the compilation of 36 books containing the profound teachings of the 'Hanol principles' and its applications on philosophy, epistemology, metaphysics, science, economics, politics, society, nature, culture and religion.〔(한얼교 한사상, 지적혁명으로 민족의 새천년 하늘 연다 ) 시사매거진 1999년 11월호 ‘Hanol-gyo’ Hanol spirit, a new millennium and intellectual revolution (Monthly Current Affairs Magazine November 1999 Issue)〕 In 1999, Shin Jeong Yil died〔(한얼교 창교주 신정일씨 별세 ) (연합뉴스 1999년4월6일 이희용 기자) Shin Jeong Yil, Founder of ‘Hanol-gyo’, Deceased (Yonhap News, April 6th, 1999 Journalist Hee Yong Lee) 〕 and unprecedented number of holy crystals of ''sari'' (sacred matter found among the cremated remains of enlightened monks and Buddha) were recovered.〔(한얼교 창교주 유골서 사리 28과 발견 ) (연합뉴스1999년4월20일) 28 pieces of rare sari found in the cremated remains of Shin Jeong Yil, Founder of ‘Hanol-gyo’ (Yonhap News, April 20th, 1999)〕 According to the news record,〔 "The ''sari'' was opened to the public and well known celebrities, including the spiritual leaders of other religions, paid a visit to witness the ''sari'': Hanol-gyo has been exhibiting the sari at the Commemoration Ceremonies of the Founder."〔(화제의 종교 행사 2002년 4월 4,5일 창교주 신정일 한님 한성제 3주년 추모행사 ) (정경뉴스 2002년 5월호 p. 152~155) The Religious Focus April 4 and 5, 2002, the 3rd anniversary exhibition of Sari in commemoration of Shin Jeong Yil, the founding leader of Hanol-gyo (May Issue of Political Economy News, 2002, P. 152~155) 〕 In the absence of the founder and faced with the major Korean IMF financial crisis,〔(홍익인간의 절대적 가치에 뿌리를 두고 진화해가는 한얼교 ) (시사뉴스저널 2014년3월호) The continuing evolution based on Hanol Spirit, Hanol-gyo(Current Affairs News Journal, March 2014 issue)〕 the legal descendant Sewon Shin (a former artist well known as a genius young painter, until he gave up his art and majored in politics, philosophy and economics - PPE at Oxford University)〔''Naver'' ("Sewon Shin" )〕 restructured the Hanol-gyo foundation.〔(모든 존재를 널리 이롭게 하라는 홍익인간의 정신을 이어받은 한얼교 ) 월간파워코리아 2014년3월호.
