He was born what is now called Sinwol-ri, Deokcheon-myeon, Jeongeup-si, North Jeolla province of Korea. Jeung San Do, like Korean new religions (sinheung jonggyo, literally, "newly emerged religions") in general is a syncretism of Buddhism (Bul-gyo), Confucianism (Yu-gyo), Taoism (Do-gyo), certain elements borrowed from Christianity (Gidok-gyo) and an underlying Korean shamanism (Musok-Sinang).

Famous quotes containing the word gang:
“What lies behind facts like these: that so recently one could not have said Scott was not perfect without earning at least sorrowful disapproval; that a year after the Gang of Four were perfect, they were villains; that in the fifties in the United States a nothing-man called McCarthy was able to intimidate and terrorise sane and sensible people, but that in the sixties young people summoned before similar committees simply laughed.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
