Yeompoyomun (念標文):
[The revelation of Dangun's great will]
Heaven is vast due to one's profoundness and silence,
Heaven's dao reaches all around to encompass everything,
Heaven's work is making all things oneness with the immutable truth.
Earth is huge due to one's hoarding and storage,
Earth's dao follows the way of heaven to embrace everything,
Earth's work is bringing all lives into oneness with the ceaseless efforts.
Human is great due to one's wisdom and capacity,
Human's dao chooses the way of heaven and earth to be harmonious,
Human's work is establishing the world of Taeil (太一) with the tremendous collaboration.
Thus, the original mind of Samsin (三神) is bestowed to all humans',
So, the nature of humanity is connected to the utmost brightness of Samsin,
Therefore with the teachings of Samsin, govern and enlighten the entire world,
And benefit the world of humanity extensively.
天은 以玄默爲大하니 其道也普圓이요 其事也眞一이니라
地은 以蓄藏爲大하니 其道也効圓이요 其事也勤一이니라
人은 以知能爲大하니 其道也擇圓이요 其事也協一이니라
故로 一神降衷하사 性通光明하니 在世理化하야 弘益人間하라
From 11th Dohea Dangun part, Dangun-segi, Hwandangogi
-Roughly translated on June 6, 2014-
Samsin (三神) means the primordial God, the creator of this universe.
Taeil (太一) is the ultimate human who becomes oneness with heaven and earth.
