Among the various influences from other ancient cultures observable in Daesoon Jinrihoe, the reference to and the transformation of Feng-Shui is especially prominent. In The Canonical Scripture, Feng-Shui culture is mentioned frequently. Feng-Shui culture in The Canonical Scripture not only draws upon a great deal of traditional Feng-Shui Theory but also inserts many innovations. It is worth noting that the understanding of Feng-Shui culture through Daesoon Jinrihoe's doctrine makes The Canonical Scripture unique. Based upon the conscientious recapitulation of the relevant contents in The Canonical Scripture, this essay aims at dealing with the Feng-Shui Culture of Daesoon Jinrihoe in regards to three aspects: Terrestrial Energy, Mountain Shape and Luminous Courts (Mingtang). A better understanding of the profound contents and sacred significance of The Canonical Scripture can naturally be attained from applying a Feng-Shui culture perspective.
