Healing Chakra by Ilchi Lee: Translation of the Chun Bu Kyung
In Ilchi Lee’s book, Healing Chakra: Light to Awaken My Soul, he offers a translation and explanation of the Chun Bu Kyung, a 9,000-year old text that mathematically communicates the oneness existing among heaven, earth, and humans. This excerpt from the book communicates the origins of the Chun Bu Kyung and the basis for the training systems Ilchi Lee has developed: Dahn Yoga and Brain Education.
“In the ancient tradition of Korea, there existed a body-mind-spirit training system called Shin-Il-Hap-Il (Divine-One-Together-One), which sought to elevate human consciousness to its highest plateau, that of divinity. More widely known by the name Shin-Sun-Do, the philosophy and ideas contained therein were originally derived from an ancient sacred text called ‘Chun Bu Kyung’ or the Heavenly Code.
The Chun Bu Kyung is the highest authority among the sacred texts in Korean spiritual tradition. It is said that the Chun Bu Kyung was recorded by an ancient sage who realized his own enlightenment through his training regimen of Shin Sun Do, thereby gaining insight into the realities of life and death and the operational flow of the universe. Because the Chun Bu Kyung is essentially a numerical representation of the laws of the cosmos, it cannot be interpreted literally. It will only reveal its true nature and meaning to someone who has experienced the realities of life through Ki energy.
When I first realized enlightenment, I did not know that the nature of my enlightenment was already spoken of in the Chun Bu Kyung. When I finally had the good fortune to learn of it, I realized that my enlightenment had the same inspiration and source as that of the Chun Bu Kyung.
After knowing the Chun Bu Kyung, I could sense the energy of each of its 81 letters when I sank deeply into meditation. The teachings of the Chun Bu Kyung came to me not through the intellect, but through actual experience of its energies. When I experienced the oneness of Heaven, Earth, and Human described in the Chun Bu Kyung, I felt my body become part of the light of the cosmos, attaining a level of ecstasy and peace that spoke to me of divine blessing.
…
Chun Bu Kyung contains the essence of the trinity, in which good and evil, life and death, heaven and earth are not defined as opposites, but as part of the same cosmic harmony. When we realize that our essence is identical to the essence that makes up the cosmos, we overcome fear, sadness, and anger.
Oneness, where no barrier exists between you and me, is our essence and our divinity. As soon as we are born, we begin the struggle to light up this innate divinity. Once we realize our own divine enlightenment, we will achieve Heavenly Transformation. Heavenly Transformation is the process whereby human beings reach the highest level of awareness, and consciously return to the Source at the moment of death. It is this process that is delineated in the letters of the Chun Bu Kyung.
The secret to Heavenly Transformation lies in the human brain and Ki energy. The Chun Bu Kyung can also be interpreted as a numerical code, outlining the process by which the seven Chakras of the body are activated and made to stimulate the inner potential of the brain in order to achieve spiritual awakening.
…
The Chun Bu Kyung can act as a guide to lead us across the collective spiritual threshold.”
Here is an English translation of the Chun Bu Kyung:
One begins unmoved moving,
That has no beginning.
One divides to three crowns,
While remaining a limitless mover.
Heaven comes first,
Earth comes second,
Human comes third.
One gathers to build ten,
And infinite forms become the trinity (of heaven, earth, human).
Heaven gains two to make three.
Earth gains two to make three.
Three trinities make six,
And they create seven, and eight, nine appears,
And there comes a turning.
Three and four form a circle,
Five with seven makes one whole.
Way-less is the way all comes and all goes,
Features are changing, and change-less is the maker.
Divine mind is eternal light,
Looking toward celestial light.
Human bears heaven and earth,
And the three make one.
