The history of superstition in the Republic of Korea Hartford Web Publishing is not the author of the documents in World History Archives The culture history in general of the Republic of Korea Monks charged over temple violence BBC News, 24 December 1998. South Korean police have charged 28 people, most of them monks, after a day of pitched battles to oust members of the order from occupying a temple. The dissident monks took over the temple last month after ousting a rival faction in a bitter dispute over who manages South Korean Buddhist funds worth millions of dollars. Korean TV airs controversial documentary BBC News, Wednesday 12 May 1999. A South Korean television station has managed to broadcast a documentary previously forced off air by members of a Christian sect. It examined claims that sect leader Lee Jae-rok could cure illness. Mr Lee heads the 65,000-strong Manmin Chungang Sungkyol sect, a Protestant denomination whose name roughly translates as All Holiness Church.

North Korea Off the Beaten Track Paekdusan Paekdusan straddles the Korean-Chinese border in the far north. At 2744m (9070ft) this extinct volcano is the highest peak on the Korean Peninsula. It is surrounded by a vast wilderness, and the main peak is covered year-round by whitish pumice and snow; the name means 'White Head Mountain'. A huge crater lake called Chonji ('Lake of Heaven') lies at the summit, surrounded by bare rocky crags. It is one of the deepest alpine lakes in the world, and although it's fed by two hot springs, it is also one of the coldest. Paekdusan is sacred to all Koreans, because according to Korean mythology it is where the 'Son of the Lord of Heaven' descended to earth and the first Korean kingdom began. North Korea's current history books also claim that the Dear Leader established his headquarters here in the 1920s and defeated the Japanese from there. Although no history books outside of North Korea claim the region was a battlefield during WWII, plenty of revolutionary and anti-imperialist slogans have been carved on the trees. Many more of these 'slogan-bearing trees' are being discovered every year, and most are so well preserved that you'd think they were carved yesterday, if you didn't know any better. Paekdusan is 350km (217mi) north-east of P'yongyang.

Saturday July 30, 2005 Jamadi Us Sani 22, 1426 A.H. ISSN 1563-9479 Destination Seoul-III Land of the morning calm Korea Rehan Yusuf SEOUL: South Korea can rightly be called the land with much to offer a visitor, from the beauty of its mountains to all other ridges and gorges, rivers and plains, surrounded on three sides by the ocean. One can feel and enjoy the diverse natural and manmade structures of Korea in this internationally acclaimed land of art and culture. Not many countries have the kind of natural terrain and weather patterns that this so-called 'land of morning calm' has. Going through the streets of Seoul, one finds it mind boggling to know that all of this development took place in less than four decades. And yet the Korean people find the resolve to stay close to their traditional art, culture and food. Finding a nice place to sit or eat is not difficult in Seoul. One can enjoy the traditional, continental and even Pakistani food in restaurants located in several parts of the city. Western touch is quite visible among the people and places, perhaps because of the American influence that the country has been under since its inception. Like most of Pakistanis, the Koreans, especially the young ones, also toil to get a visa to the United States. They also yearn to learn English, as it is the most-liked foreign language here, but unfortunately find it too difficult as compared to their native language.

47. January 2002 AGGMAN Geology korean mythology asks you to imagine a mountain that is one mile high and That, as described in korean mythology, is indeed a very long period of time. http://www.aggman.com/0102_pages/0102carved.html

A publication of James Informational Media, Inc. Your Guide to Profitable Production January 2002 Carved in Stone It's a Matter of Time By Bill Langer For the past few years this column has taken on issues of concern to the aggregate industry and has described how geology relates to those issues. While most folks who read this column probably have some knowledge of geology, it is a science with a history worth sharing. These next few articles will provide brief descriptions of some of the theories that have evolved into the science of geology. While ancient Greeks may have accepted the fact that Gaia created changes to the Earth rather rapidly, modern geology is based on a recognition that it is the passage of vast lengths of time that allow many changes to take place, changes that have been going on for something like 4.6 billion years. This concept can be demonstrated by the mythology of another culture. Korean mythology asks you to imagine a mountain that is one mile high and made of solid granite. Once every thousand years an angel flies down from heaven and brushes the summit of the mountain with her wings. Given long enough, the angel will erode the mountain down to sea level. That, as described in Korean mythology, is indeed a very long period of time. William H. Langer is a geologist with the Mineral Resources Team of the U.S. Geological Survey.

A mythology is a relatively cohesive set of myths: stories that comprise a certain religion or belief system. Table of contents showTocToggle("show","hide") 1 What is mythology? 2 Modern mythology 3 Mythologies by region 3.1 Africa ... edit What is mythology? Myths are generally stories based on tradition and legend designed to explain the universal and local beginnings ("creation myths and "founding myths"), natural phenomena, inexplicable cultural conventions, and anything else for which no simple explanation presents itself. Not all myths need have this explicatory purpose, however. Likewise, most myths involve a supernatural force or deity, but many simple legends and narratives passed down orally from generation to generation have mythic content. The Brothers Grimm demonstrated that there is mythic content embedded even in the least promising fairy tales. A fairy tale itself is not a myth. Other examples of materials with mythic content that are not themselves myths:

Near its entrance, we got off to take pictures of the highway sign pointing south “Seoul 70km”. On this godforsaken ground of rice fields and occasional concrete anti-tank barriers, it was hard to believe that Seoul and its bright lights, glass towers, hedonistic discos, massive shopping malls and bustling streets are all but an hour and a half away. Isn’t it a twist of fate that these poor farmers could well have been ploughing the fields on modern semi-automatic tractors rather than the poor overworked ox they are using now? We stopped briefly for our guides to complete the paperwork and also to wait for the DMZ military guides to arrive. “This is a high alert zone,” Ms Park said, “everyone has to be vigilant in case the enemies does anything. There would be a few soldiers coming with us to ensure our safety.” One must not forget that the DPRK, with more than a million men under arms and reserve forces of 6 million, has the third largest armed forces in the world. According to Michael Breen’s “Kim Jong Il”, DPRK “spends only US$5.1 billion per year on defence, less than half South Korea’s defence budget, but this amount represents a staggering 31.3% of the country’s GDP. This small country of only 22 million is the most militarised nation in the world.”

Conference Report On 9-10 October, 2003 a Korean studies-related conference “Korean Language, Literature and Culture: an Outlook from St. Petersburg” took place at the Oriental Faculty . The meeting was organized by the Center for Korean Language and Culture (St.Petersburg State University) under financial support of the Korea Foundation (Seoul). The most part of the papers were presented by the Koreanologysts from St.Petersburg. This fact underscores the longstanding world-wide recognition of Petersburg Koreanologists as the persons eager to contribute in various fields of Korean Studies (language, literature, history and culture). Likewise many of their colleagues from other institutions of Russia (from Moscow, Vladivostok and Magnitogorsk) took an active part in the conference in the same way as before. Presented Papers: Baskina D.M. (St.Petersburg) The problem of evaluation of contemporary views on woman’s status in Korean traditional family Boltach Yu.V. (St.Petersburg) Biographies of Korean Buddhist pilgrims in “Living of well-deserved monks in the Land to the East from the Sea” Brodyansky D.L.

An Introduction to Korean Culture for Rehabilitation Service Providers Weol Soon Kim-Rupnow, Ph.D. TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface Acknowledgement Introduction Part I. Overview on Korea ... References Preface In 1997, 591,000 Korean-born persons were living in the United States (Shmidley and Campbell, 1999), making Korea one of the top ten nations of origin for immigrants to this country. Despite various obstacles, many Koreans have been quite successful in the United States. The average American's knowledge of Korean culture is very limited, however, and some first-generation Koreans do not have strong English language skills. As a result, there exists the possibility of miscommunication between the newly-arrived and native-born Americans. Cultural and language barriers can arise between disability service providers and their Korean-born clients, which may hamper the progress of rehabilitation. It is usually not possible for busy providers to learn several new languages or develop a deep knowledge of all cultures. Nevertheless, if providers understand some of the basic principles and common themes of a culture, they will have a better sense of how their clients perceive disability and what they consider to be appropriate goals and methods of rehabilitation. In speaking of a therapist's role in this regard, Miles (1999) wrote:

CONTENTS PAK TU JIN Pak Tu Jin is one of the best known contemporary Korean poets, widely appreciated by both the reading public and the critics. His work has been taught to school children for years in the standard curriculum of Korean literature. He has received virtually every award and prize for which he is eligible in Korea. His work reflects both a fertile imagination and much of the history and aspirations of the people of Korea during his lifetime. Pak Tu Jin was born in Ansong, not far south of Seoul, in 1916. His early works were published beginning in the 1930's but the Japanese suppression of Korean language literary publications imposed a silence during the height of the Pacific War in the 1940's. Pak and his colleagues Pak Mok Wal and Cho Chi Hun had been writing secretly during those years, however, and they together published the Green Deer Anthology in 1946. The book had a decisive influence upon modern Korea poetry, in that it led the way in moving beyond a spirit of decadence to receiving fresh inspiration from nature. Pak Tu Jin's work continued to remain close to the natural world, but is wide-ranging in tone and subject-matter. Often his poetry is rooted in the natural world, while at the same time venturing widely into philosophical, cosmological, mythological, and even religious themes. He incorporates a great deal of Korean mythology, folklore and history into his work. It is well-known that Pak is a Christian believer, although he has been dissatisfied with the organized expressions of that faith and remains at a distance from most church activities. There is an intense Korean specificity in most of Pak's work, combined with the widest possible sense of cosmic universality. Allusions to Asian and Korean culture abound, yet there is always a rooting in the immediacy of present life.

In 1911, Korea was suffering under the Japanese colonial regime. The founder of Dankook University, Mr Hyoung Chang (later Sir Beomjeong) quit his studies as a 20 year old, moved to Manchuria and joined the Korean independence movement in exile. For the next 34 years, he braved many dangers in his fight for independence and worked closely with Mr Ku Kim, one of the leading figures in the Korean provisional government. In 1945, when Korea regained independence, Hyoung Chang returned to his homeland. With his friend Kee-hong Park, Sir Beomjeong became convinced that Korea's future as a free and peaceful nation lay in educating its young people, and he dedicated himself to the task of opening a new college. Sadly Mr Park died before he could witness the establishment of Dankook University on November 3, 1947 - with his widow (Lady Hyedang Cho) and Sir Beomjeong Chang as co-founders. Dankook then became the first four-year private college in Korea, and its co-founders were able to pass on their thirst for higher learning to many young Korean students.
