포스트코로나 시대의 금강대도와 금강대도종리학

Abstract

Faced with the unprecedented crisis of COVID-19, most religions showed weak, passive and negative aspects, but religion still plays an important role in overcoming the COVID-19. It is because we need religious healing such as meditation, prayer not only in establishing an eco‐centric worldview in which humans, nature, and all things coexist, but also in treating the mental illness caused by the COVID-19, that is, ‘corona blue’, As for Kumkangdaedo, they were a bit embarrassed at first by the unprecedented pandemic of COVID-19, but they communicate using digital platforms such as YouTube and Webex, while holding small gatherings at the general headquarters and in each branch, above all else, they are gathering wisdom to overcome the COVID-19 while focusing on disciplining for individual spiritual recovery. The remote conference system was introduced as a measure to overcome the COVID-19, but in the era of the 4th industrial revolution, as there are essential aspects for future propaganda and edification for young people who are familiar with digital culture, on this opportunity it will have to be further developed in the future. In particular, it has been used for simple meetings and lectures, but going one step further, there are tasks to be developed, such as training and meditation using digital tools. Founded in 1999, the ‘Geumgangdaedo Jongrihak Society’ has been working on rationalization and generalization through academic systematization. For Jongrihak, the primary object of study is the arrangement of the Dosa (道史) and the translation work of The Holy Great Sutras(大聖經). Translated publications of speeches and acts such as Seonghuntonggo, ​​nurturing talents such as master’s and Ph.D. courses, and academic conferences in which external scholars participated have continued, and they were published as a collection of academic papers. Including personal research papers on Jongrihak such as ‘a complete collection of Geumgang Samjong University Jongrihak’ and ‘a collection of Geumgangdaedo Jongbeopwon Order’, about 10 master’s theses and three doctoral dissertations were published. Currently, we are continuing projects of translating The Holy Great Sutras in a total of 11 scriptures and 28 books, as well as the three Masters’ words and deeds and the history of Daedo. Being established to foster adherents within Daedo, the Kumkang Samjong College provides education. While conducting in‐ depth Jongrihak education through undergraduate and graduate courses, it operates a three‐part system of Education Center – Undergraduate School Graduate School (Master’s Program Doctoral Program). If the advent of digital civilization or phono sapiens civilization is an unavoidable future, although it is a digital culture that has been inevitably experienced due to the COVID-19, it will be beneficial for the future development of religion to further develop it in the future, and it could be a positive opportunity to turn the unprecedented crisis of the COVID-19 into an opportunity.
