Buddhism originated in India around 2,500 years ago. It emerged during a time of social change, when people were questioning traditional Vedic religion and searching for meaning
Four Noble Truths
Buddhists believe that "life is suffering", and that ending the cycle of rebirth is something to be desired
Buddhists believe that everything arises from or depends on something else, and that there are no self-caused entities
Buddhists believe that humans don't have a permanent, substantial self, but rather a conventional self made up of five impermanent psycho-physical aggregates
Buddhists believe that actions have consequences, and that good actions lead to happiness while bad actions lead to unhappiness. The weight of an action is determined
by five factors, including how often it's repeated, how intentional it is, and whether it's performed against someone who has helped you
Buddhists believe that nirvana is only attainable by eliminating greed, hatred, and ignorance, and that it ends the cycle of death and rebirth
Buddhism's philosophy is centered around the idea of becoming enlightened, or reaching nirvana, a state of inner peace and wisdom

A believer in Buddhism in his private life, Sejong attempted to balance the state ideology of Neo-Confucianism with a tolerance for the continued practice of the religion in nonofficial contexts and, at times, even encouraged it.
Sejong | Korea, Monarch, Scholar, & Reformer | Britannica
Sejong (born 1397—died 1450) was a monarch of the Joseon (Yi) dynasty during whose reign (1419–50) cultural achievements in Korea reached their highest point
Joseon fell after being overwhelmed by the military power of Japan, which fought three wars with China and Russia in order to swallow up Korea, and Korea(Joseon) handed over diplomatic rights
The Angbuilgu was a sundial. It helped track changes in time and season. The Joseon dynasty is remembered as a time of peace and learning.
Joseon consolidated its effective rule over the Korean peninsula and saw the height of classical Korean culture, trade, literature, and science and technology
He was arrested in 1801 and executed at the age of 42
He wrote the first guidebook to Roman Catholicism in Korean
Saints from the Joseon Dynasty include St. Andrew Kim Taegon, Paul Chong Hasang, and Saint Chŏng Yak-jong. These saints were martyrs who died for their faith in Christianity during the Joseon Dynasty
The Catholic Church celebrates the feast day of the Korean martyrs on September 20
The exact number of Korean Catholics killed during this time is difficult to determine, but it is estimated to be between 8,000 and 10,000
Saint Andrew the Apostle
Was a fisherman from Galilee who was one of Jesus' first disciples. He was crucified in Patras on an X-shaped cross. The diagonal cross he was crucified on is now the symbol of Scotland, the Saltire
Saint Andrew the Apostle was crucified, not beheaded. However, there was a Vietnamese martyr named Andrew Dũng Lạc who was beheaded in 1839
Canonization:
Pope John Paul II canonized Andrew Kim Taegon along with 102 other Korean martyrs in 1984
When referring to Saint Andrew Kim, the phrase "and companions" is often added, signifying the many other Korean Catholics who were martyred alongside him during the same period
Andrew is considered a symbol of the resilience and unwavering faith of early Korean Christians, who faced severe persecution during the Joseon Dynasty
Before his execution by beheading on the banks of the Han River, Andrew reportedly encouraged his followers to remain strong in their faith
While attempting to arrange for more missionaries to enter Korea, Andrew was captured by authorities. He endured brutal torture but refused to deny his faith.
Due to the strict anti-Christian laws, Andrew had to travel over 1,300 miles to Macau, China, to study at a seminary
Born into a noble family, Andrew's parents converted to Catholicism, which was heavily persecuted in Korea. He was baptized at the age of 15.
His story highlights his unwavering dedication to spreading the Catholic faith despite facing extreme danger and hardship
He traveled great distances to be ordained, secretly returned to his homeland to evangelize, and was eventually captured, tortured, and beheaded for refusing to renounce his beliefs
Saint Andrew Kim Taegon, the first Korean-born priest, is known for his courageous story of faith and martyrdom during a time of intense Christian persecution in Korea
After six years Andrew returned to Korea and assumed the job of bringing missionaries into the country secretly. Almost immediately he was arrested, tortured, and beheaded
Andrew was baptized when he was 15. He then attended the seminary in Macao, China, 1,300 miles away from home
Macau[e] or Macao[f] is a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China (PRC). With a population of about 710,000 people and a land area of 32.9 km2 (12.7 sq mi), it is the most densely populated region in the world.
