Haneullim

Haneullim ("Lord of Heaven"), also spelled Hanalnim, Hananim, Hanunim, Hwanin (in the Dangun myth), also called Sangje, Sangjenim ("Highest Emperor") or simply Haneul ("Heaven") or Cheon ("Heaven", in Sino-Korean), or Cheonsin ("God of Heaven"), is the concept of God in Korean Sinism—the Korean native religion and shamanism—, and in other religions derived from it (for example Cheondoism and Jeungsanism). In some sects he is called Okhwangsangje ("Great Jade Emperor" or "Great Shining Emperor").

Haneullim etymologically means "source [im, in] of all being [haneul, hwan]", indicating the fountain of the universe, the supreme being, the supreme mind. Scholars say that this belief is the heart of all religions in Korea, and it is deeply rooted in the mind of the Korean people.

In Korean myth, Dangun is the son of Hwanin, the "Heavenly King" and initiator of the Korean nation, as well as ancestor of all mudang.

The myth starts with prince Hwanung ("Heavenly Prince"), son of Hwanin. The prince asked his father to grant him government over Korea. Hwanin accepted, and Hwanung was sent to Earth bearing three Heavenly Seals and accompanied by three thousand followers. The prince arrived under the holy tree of sandalwood on the holy mountain, where he founded his holy city.

At the time of his reign, a bear and a tiger were living in a cave near the humans, praying earnestly that their wish might be granted. The bear patiently endured weariness and hunger, and after twenty-one days she was transformed into a beautiful woman, while the tiger ran away for it could not tolerate the effort. The woman was overjoyed, and visiting the sandalwood she prayed that she might become the mother of a child.
