Won Buddhism
Won Buddhism ( ko, 원불교, Wǒnbulgyo, label=none), is a modern religion originating in Korea. It can be regarded as either a syncretic new religious movement or a reformed Buddhism. The name "Won Buddhism" comes from the Korean words 원/圓 won ("circle") and 불교/佛敎 bulgyo ("Buddhism"), literally meaning "Round Buddhism" or interpreted as "Consummate Buddhism." The stated goals of Won Buddhism are for people to realize their own innate buddha nature and to save all sentient beings by serving others. Emphasis is on interaction with daily life, not “stilling the impulses,” but rather acting in accord with “appropriate desires.” Won Buddhism's Founder, Sotaesan (Pak Chung-bin, 1891-1943) believed that over-emphasis on the material world in relation to the spiritual world would create undue suffering; his Founding Motto was, “With this Great Opening of matter, let there be a Great Opening of spirit.” In essence, Won Buddhism proposes adapting to and ...

Won (injustice)
In Joseon society, ''won'' () described intense negative emotions, often distress, that came from feelings of injustice. ''Won'' played an integral role in justice, lawmaking, and daily life in Joseon Korea. ''Won'' allowed people of different classes and genders to gain justice through the legal system, breaking down gender, social, and economic barriers in Joseon Korea. Judges considered a person's ''won'' in courts of law, with their main goal often being to relieve a person's ''won'' to administer justice. ''Won'' was perceived as a universal sentiment that every person could feel, regardless of background, thus creating a sense of universal equality in Joseon. History King Taejo established the Joseon dynasty in 1392 and sought to create a justice system in which he could maintain social order and administer fair justice. He established a legal system that year in which subjects could directly appeal to the monarch, who served as the highest court in the land. That year, t ...
