다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The incantation(呪文), the letters for extreme Hanwoolnim(한울님) worship, was written by Soowoon, Choi Je-Woo in 1860 soon after his attaining the heavenly way enlightenment. It contains the principle of purpose and method as well as procedure and effect of Chondogyo asceticism(天道敎 修行), expressing the process of Hanwool`s presenting human being(侍天主) and human`s becoming Hanwool(人乃天), Hyunsong, reciting the incantation in a voice, makes the spirit active and Mooksong, reciting them voicelessly, cleans the mind and disciplines the nature. It is realized that Hanwool`s expression relates to every work and human as well, thus the incantation is always linked with Chondogyo asceticism and rituals. In the process of recognizing the Hanwool within all things, the Chondogyo asceticism allows one rediscover by-itself, reshaping the life immensely and changing the world eventually(삶의 開闢과 變化).
