CHUN-BU-SHIN-GONG
Chun-Bu-Kyung (The Scripture of Heavenly Code) is the oldest Korean scripture. This scripture teaches about Han(the ultimate oneness) and its basic trinity, Heaven, Earth, and Human, and the relationship between them. It includes the principles of the Cosmos, its Creation and Evolution, Growth and Consummation, and the principle of human completion as part of the cosmic transition.
The origine of the scripture has a long history. Since 9000 years ago it had been transmitted through the aural tradition in Korea. 6000 years ago the priest king of ancient Korea who built the City of Light ordered it to be recorded in Nokdo letters (One of the ancient writing system in which each letter looks like the footprint of a deer). This was the first written form of the scripture. With the wisdom of the scripture he taught the people the ultimate truths of the Cosmos and raised the civilization of the whole nation up to the level of enlightenment.
The first translation of the scripture from Nokdo letters to Chinese character was done by Choi, Chi Won (scholar, 857~?). He found the scripture on a tombstone and made it into its current form. For much of history, the philosophy of the scripture had been the basis of the governing and education of ancient Korea until the tradition came to an end about 2000 years ago. The scripture had been forgotten by almost all Korean people for long time until it was recently rediscovered and its ideas were actualized into the philosophical basis for the cultural movement to establish an enlightened community on the Earth, which is now growing into the World New Human Movement.

Scripture of Heavenly Code
One Begins unmoved moving, that has No Beginning
One Parts to Three Crowns, while staying a Limit-less Mover
Heaven is the One that comes First
Earth is the One that comes Second
Human is the One that comes Third
One Gathers to Build Ten, and Infinite Forms Become Triads
Heaven gains Two to make Three
Earth gains Two to make Three
Human gains Two to make Three
Three Triads Make Six, and they Create Seven, and Eight
Nine comes there, and there comes a Turning
Three and Four Making a Circle
Five with Seven make One whole
Way-less is the way All Comes and All Goes
Features are Changing, and Change-less is the Maker
Divine Mind Is the Eternal Light, Looking toward celestial Light
Human Bears Heaven and Earth, and the three make One
One is the End of all, and No Ending has the One
One Begins unmoved moving, that has No Beginning
One Parts to Three Crowns, while staying a Limit-less Mover
Heaven is the One that comes First
Earth is the One that comes Second
Human is the One that comes Third
One Gathers to Build Ten, and Infinite Forms Become Triads
Heaven gains Two to make Three
Earth gains Two to make Three
Human gains Two to make Three

Divine Mind Is the Eternal Light, Looking toward celestial Light
Human Bears Heaven and Earth, and the three make One
One is the End of all, and No Ending has the One
What Does Chun-Bu-Kyung Mean?
The scripture teaches the principle of the creation and evolution of the Cosmos and the principle of the human completion. Through these principles the scripture gives us instruction about our true identity and the desirable way of life which we are meant to live by and which we are being asked to regain for our own growth into a new millennium.
Below is the translation of the scripture. In the translation of each sentence, what comes first is the letter to letter translation of the Chinese characters, and the next is the semantic & syntactic re-construction of the letter-to-letter translation. And the last is the most apparent contextual interpretation of the literal translation.

When Three internal Dahnjons(energy centers in a human body) and Four external Dahnjons form an integrative circulatory system and Five Elements of Energy flow through the circuit composed of the Seven Dahnjons, the energy mechanism of the human body becomes complete.
As three internal Dahnjon develops, human being grows from physical health to enlightenment. First step towards enlightenment is the completion of the lower Dahnjon. In this stage, one’s vital energy gets strengthened and one’s physical condition remarkably improves. Next step is the maturity of the middle Dahnjon which brings the experience of heart opening and the spontaneous love coming forth from heart. Last, when the upper Dahnjon is completed, one is supposed to be fully awakened and recover the integration of the trinity.
