 BELIEFS
Sermon on the Mount- The Sermon on the Mount was the largest public
address made by Jesus, according to Scripture. The first 8 statements of the Sermon,
called the Beatitudes, are contained in Matthew 5:3–5:12 in the Gospels section of the
New Testament. Christianity was most likely introduced to Korea by Jesuits who
accompanied Japanese troops during the Hideyoshi invasion in 1592. Modern Korea
has seen Christianity suppressed under Communist rule in the North with expansion in
South Korea following the Korean War (1950–53).

Four Noble Truths- Buddhism was introduced to Korea by a Chinese monk,

Sundo, during the third century CE of the Koguryo Kingdom (37 BCE–668 CE).
Buddhism had originated with the enlightenment of an Indian prince, Siddhartha
Gautama (d.461 BCE). Siddharttha had broken away from his family and society to
become an ascetic. One day, after having given up asceticism, he became enlightened
through meditation under a bodhi tree. And so, he became known as “Buddha” or
“enlightened one.” The Four Noble Truths were his first teaching, given to a handful of
close disciples.

Right Livelihood/Occupation

Analects- King Sinmun of the Silla Kingdom first institutionalized Confucian

learning in Korea by establishing the Royal Confucian Academy in 682 CE. The
Analects were part of the Academy’s curriculum of classical Chinese learning. In
the Analects, Confucius (551-479 BCE)—or Kongzi (also, “the Master” or Master
Kong)—urged propriety and virtue in the governing of self and society.
