The Koreans are a very religious productive nation with uncounted religions and spiritual groups founded since 1952. While the Kwanum Zen School (Seung Sahn) or the Unification Chruch (Moon in 1954) are known worldwide, others have had their impact mostly on the peninsula. How do Koreans navigate in this plural spiritual society and what impact does it have on their spiritualty? How does the history of Korea effect the development? Are there typicality’s to Korean Spirituality and Religions of today? How do interreligious dialogue movements effect the relations and how do traditional forms like Shamanism fit into the dynamic process?
