[HWPL] Overview of the 32nd Peace Tour of HWPL

 [HWPL]

[HWPL] Overview of the 32nd Peace Tour of HWPL



As soon as the global COVID-19 pandemic began to subside, Chairman Man-hee Lee and the peace delegation of HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of the Light) were invited to the Philippines for the 1st National Peace Convention Plenary and other related peace events.

1. The 1st National Peace Convention Plenary


On January 25th 2023, Volunteer Individuals for Peace (VIP) and HWPL agreed to draft a resolution requesting President Ferdinand "Bongbong" R. Marcos Jr. to proclaim a National Peace Day through a Presidential Declaration. They submitted the draft to the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity (OPAPRU).


2. Peace Monument Unveiling Ceremony


On 24 January 2023, the peace monument unveiling ceremony was held at Plaza Asuncion in Malate. This monument, spearheaded by the Rotary Club of Manila Metro (RCMM) in collaboration with HWPL, calls for citizens and the government to make efforts to build peace and express support for the DPCW. On January 27, the unveiling ceremony of the HWPL-VIP peace monument was held at Mindanao Cotabato State University, which was designated as the first peace academy in the Philippines.


3. Support for the DPCW, Designating January 24th as a Day of Peace

The City of Manila and the Province of Davao de Oro proclaimed a resolution supporting the DPCW. Ahod B. Ebrahim, the Chief Minister of Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), signed to support the DPCW and designated January 24th as the official day of peace in the BARMM region.



4. We Are One Music Peace Festival in Mindanao

On 26 January, for the first time in nearly 50 years since the conflict broke out, the “We Are One Music Peace Festival” was held at the Cotabato State University (CSU) gymnasium. It can be seen that Mindanao is safe and peaceful enough given that 6,000 people could attend and enjoy the festival safely. Kutawato Greenland Initiatives (KGI), which organized this festival, is establishing peace in the Cotabato region with HWPL.



Why are these peace events with HWPL in the Philippines so significant and meaningful in the history of the Philippines? No one including politicians, presidents or peace activists could bring 'perfect' peace to Mindanao, where religious conflict had persisted for nearly 50 years.

However, Chairman Man-hee Lee and HWPL solved the conflict between the Catholic and Muslim groups in Mindanao with a pure passion for peace and a non-violent resolution that everyone agreed on. Chairman Man-hee Lee and HWPL accomplished a civil peace agreement between two religions dramatically, promising the end to the history of bloodshed in Mindanao. No more guns, bullets, bombshells, violence, sorrow or pain for people in Mindanao.

The people of Mindanao now can enjoy a 'normal' life without fear of war and death, and can even hold a music festival and a concert to enjoy. The people of Mindanao cannot thank Chairman Lee and HWPL enough.

Now they want to celebrate peace with the Peace Monument and national anniversary to spread peace to the whole of the Philippines. Let's hope it heralds the beginnings of world peace :)

[HWPL] Peace Tours of Man-Hee Lee (48): Philippine Support, “Let’s Achieve World Peace with HWPL”

 [HWPL]

[HWPL] Peace Tours of Man-Hee Lee (48): Philippine Support, “Let’s Achieve World Peace with HWPL”


On January 25, 2016, the HWPL Peace Academy Designation Ceremony was held at Cotabato City State Polytechnic College, attended by around 5,000 elementary and high school principals, faculty members, and students who will implement peace education in the future

Man-hee Lee, Chairman of HWPL, signed an MOA (Memorandum of Agreement) at the HWPL Peace Academy Designation Ceremony at Cotabato City State Polytechnic College on January 25, 2016. He is delivering a message at the ceremony.

Man-hee Lee, Chairman of Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), has begun to expand peace education to the international level in earnest in order to pass down peace as a legacy to future generations.

Earlier, after Chairman Lee drew out the Mindanao Civil Peace Agreement on January 24, 2014, HWPL and local residents carried out a peace education project to establish a culture of peace. As the first fruit of that effort, Cotabato City State Polytechnic College became the first HWPL Peace Academy among the higher education institutions in the Philippines.

On January 25, 2016, while the HWPL Peace Academy Designation Ceremony was held, students welcomed a vehicle carrying Chairman Lee and his peace delegation

On January 25, 2016, Chairman Lee, who was on his 24th Peace Tour, signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the designation of an HWPL Peace School at Cotabato City State Polytechnic College, where about 10,000 students are enrolled. After the signing ceremony, the HWPL Peace Academy Designation ceremony was held with about 5,000 elementary and high school principals, faculty members, and students who will implement peace education in the future. Nearby elementary and high school principals who attended the event also signed the Peace Academy resolution, and 18 schools became HWPL Peace Academies.

Regarding this, Chairman Lee said, “Just as trees bloom and bear fruit when the time comes, the era of peace has now come to the global village. Let's all become messengers of peace and together achieve a world of peace for the will of Heaven and the hope of mankind."

The then College President of Cotabato City State Polytechnic College Dammang Bantala said, “There should be peace programs in all subjects so that children know the need for peace. The Philippines supports HWPL. If there are people in Korea who have not participated (with HWPL), I hope that they work together with HWPL to achieve peace in the global village."

On January 26, 2016, Chairman Lee held a peace agreement meeting with the 11 Davao tribes at Marco Polo Hotel in Davao City, and tribal leaders signed the peace agreement

A culture of peace spread one after another in Mindanao, Philippines. Chairman Lee visited Davao City Museum in Mindanao following a peace agreement meeting with the 11 tribes of Davao at Marco Polo Hotel in Davao on January 26. Davao City Museum prepared a space called ‘Peace Hall’ to hold a special exhibition on HWPL’s peace activities in Mindanao. On the second floor of the museum, all of Chairman Lee's steps for peace were displayed, which were approved by the City of Davao. Orly Escarrilla, Director of Davao City Museum, awarded Chairman Lee with the Peace Museum Appreciation Plaque, promising permanent exhibition and preservation.

Chairman Lee also visited Davao City Library and inspected the site furnished with HWPL pictures and DVDs. Officer-in-charge of the City Library Pedrita Badar said, "We are very happy that our library has been selected as an HWPL Peace Library in Davao. The booklet and DVD will be on permanent display.”

Then, Chairman Lee met Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte (later president), and Duterte promised, "We will always agree and work together for anything that achieves world peace, whether it is large or small."

Chairman Lee met Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte (later president) on January 26, 2016 and appointed him as an advisor to HWPL

Afterwards, Chairman Lee met with Alem Jamal Munib, Executive Director of Madrasah Comprehensive Development and Promotion Program, to seek ways to cooperate in peace education. Chairman Lee said, “Now that peace education is being conducted and schools have adopted the name ‘peace’, students will naturally develop an awareness of peace.”

Alem Jamal Munib, executive director, said, “After learning the meaning of HWPL today, I realized that it is heading in the same direction as Islam.” He promised to send to HWPL photos of 49 schools for possible designation as HWPL peace schools. Accordingly, 49 schools in Davao City following Cotabato City were designated as HWPL Peace Schools.

Chairman Lee, who moved from Mindanao to Manila, had a conversation with Muna Malari, Dean of Tarlac State University, at Tarlac Cathedral's Convent on January 27th. Tarlac State University is the flagship academic institution of higher education in the evaluation of academic performance in the Philippines, and the former president of the Philippines Benigno Aquino is also a graduate of this school.

Dean Malari said, “It is really good to hear about Chairman Lee’s peace work. I believe that peace will soon come because of Chairman Lee.” Afterwards, an MOA was signed between HWPL and Tarlac State University. As a result, 70 schools in the Philippines were designated as HWPL peace schools through the 24th Peace Tour.

“I am very happy and honored that Tarlac State University was chosen as a peace academy among many universities,” said Dean Muna Malari. “It is not only for peace in the Philippines, but also for peace worldwide.”

Attendees are listening to Chairman Lee's message at the Philippine WARP (World Alliance of Religions' Office) meeting held on January 28, 2016

Chairman Lee remained committed to working for religious unity. On January 28th, he attended the Filipino WARP (World Alliance of Religions' Peace) office meeting at Manila Bible Society in Manila, where leaders of the Protestant, Catholic, Islamic and Hindu faiths gathered. That meeting was purposed to share what had been realized through the comparison of scriptures conducted by the WARP Office in that past year and to outline future activities.

Chairman Lee said, “Religious leaders: religions can become one only when scriptures become one through the comparison and verification of the scriptures. If one has a pearl that one loves the most, but there is something better, wouldn't it be better to change it?”

He emphasized, “If you compare the scriptures, you will know which has trustworthy evidence.”

Islamic religious leader Shariff Ibrahim Albani (Founding Chairman and President of Unity for Revival Foundation) met with Chairman Lee separately. He said, "As a Muslim, I was very grateful to hear that Chairman attended the M.I.L.F (Moro Islamic Liberation Front) event on January 24." He presented the firearm that his ancestors had used to Chairman Lee, expressing his wish for an end to the conflict.

Meanwhile, Chairman Lee met boxer Manny Pacquiao (Congressman of the Philippines) in Mindanao and appointed him as an HWPL Publicity Ambassador. Manny Pacquiao said, “I pay my respects to Chairman Lee for his work for peace, not only in Korea but also around the world.”

Peace!!

[HWPL] Peace Tours of Man-Hee Lee (47): Mindanao Island, Philippines, Bears Fruits of Peace: “Weapons that Kill Converted to Tools for Life”

 [HWPL]

[HWPL] Peace Tours of Man-Hee Lee (47): Mindanao Island, Philippines, Bears Fruits of Peace: “Weapons that Kill Converted to Tools for Life”


On January 24, 2016, the ‘HWPL Peace Monument Unveiling Ceremony’ is being held at the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) base in Sultan Kudarat, Mindanao, Philippines, to mark the 2nd anniversary of the Mindanao Civil Peace Agreement

On January 24, 2016, HWPL Day Declaration and HWPL Peace Monument Unveiling Ceremony were held at the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) base in Sultan Kudarat, Mindanao, Philippines, to mark the 2nd anniversary of the Mindanao Civil Peace Agreement

In January 2014, 84-year-old Korean peace activist Man-hee Lee, Chairman of Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), risked his life only for peace, and God gave peace to Mindanao, the Philippines. The seed of peace sown in Mindanao, Asia's bloodiest conflict zone, grew and bore fruits of peace.

Chairman Lee chose the Philippines as the destination of the 24th Peace Tour, which marked his seventh visit to the Philippines. The civil peace agreement between Catholics and Muslims that Chairman Lee had established on  January 24, 2014, was pivotal to ending the 40-year conflict in Mindanao and has been evaluated as setting the benchmark for peace.

Previously, in 2015, the then province of Maguindanao, Mindanao, declared January 24 as 'HWPL Day' (World Declaration of Peace Day) and erected an HWPL monument. Later, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), an Islamic rebel force, also joined the wave of peace that began in Maguindanao. Then, on January 24, 2016, in commemoration of the 2nd anniversary of the Civil Peace Agreement, the declaration of HWPL Day and the unveiling ceremony of the World Peace Monument were held at the MILF base in Sultan Kudarat, Mindanao.

On that day, Chairman Lee headed to the MILF garrison located a one-hour drive away from Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Philippines. Upon entering the vicinity of the MILF garrison, an unprecedented sight began to unfold: an enthusiastic welcome by a 20-kilometre-long line of people. It would be no exaggeration to say that everyone in the region had congregated.

They had daily heard the news of the peace agreement between HWPL and MILF on the radio and TV starting one week prior and took pickets to the streets. Many did not hesitate to travel a long distance to welcome the HWPL delegation. A procession of 200 cars and motorcycles followed, as is the regional custom for a presidential state visit.

After receiving an hour-long welcome, Chairman Lee arrived at the MILF garrison. This was the site of a sharp conflict and civilians could not easily access it. MILF soldiers lined up in an orderly manner to honor Chairman Lee without moving for 10 minutes.

The spectacle did not end there. With over 10,000 people in line and no end in sight, the event hall was filled to the brim. Despite the summer's day heat, the earnestness of those desiring peace was relentless.

On January 24, 2016, 10,000 people gather at the ‘HWPL Peace Monument Unveiling Ceremony’ held inside the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) base in Sultan Kudarat, Mindanao, the Philippines, despite the summer heat

Chairman Lee said, “For the cessation of war and peace in our world, we are transcending borders, races, and religions. Just as the light, rain, and air in the sky give life to all creation, I'm also working hard to achieve peace for all people. We are the family of peace, born in this era, who will achieve peace. If this world of peace is achieved, God the Creator will come to this earth and reign. Everyone, do you desire war or peace?”

Chairman Lee added, “God is peace, love and life. Now, the President of the MILF and we will work together to achieve peace. We are all children of God. Today, this sight will be broadcast to the world.”

Then, Al-Haj Ebrahim, head of MILF, declared January 24 every year as 'HWPL Day'. He also signed a peace agreement as a pledge for MILF and HWPL to unite for peace. And there was an unveiling ceremony for the World Peace Monument at the center of the MILF camp.

Governor of the Islamic Autonomous Region of Maguindanao Esmael G. Mangudadatu, who had first erected a monument in Mindanao in 2014, said, "I cannot express in words the overwhelming feeling I had when Chairman Lee said, 'Let's find peace within.' It was the first time I'd ever seen someone working so devotedly for peace for humanity.”

On January 24, 2016, after the ‘HWPL Peace Memorial Unveiling Ceremony’, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) Chief Al-Haj Ebrahim presents an iron-sculpted sickle to Chairman Man-hee Lee as an expression of his desire to convert weapons into tools for life’

Many on-site media reporters covering the scene requested a press conference. At the press conference, Chairman Lee said, “The answer (to achieving world peace) was a promise that the One who gave me this command would be with me. And one of the answers to achieving (world peace) is the cessation of war." He also emphasized that "Religions must become one in God.”

He added, “The former and incumbent presidents and Supreme Court justices who attended the WARP (World Alliance of Religions' Peace) Summit promised to enact international law for peace. Religious leaders promised to unite religions in God. We are still keeping that promise.”

Chairman Lee met Victor De Leon, Police Chief of Ninoy Aquino International Airport, at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in the Philippines on January 24, 2016. After listening to Chairman Lee's message of peace, he thought about what he could do, and then launched a campaign to block arms and return them.

After the press conference, Chief Minister Ebrahim promised to work towards the cessation of wars, cooperate for peace and eliminate weapons production. Minister Ebrahim said, “I just want to say this to areas where there is war and conflict happening right now,” and emphasized, “Leaders of all organizations must join and cooperate with the HWPL peace movement for the realization of world peace and cessation of war. We support the unification of Korea. Through Chairman Lee, I saw that Korea is a wonderful country.”

Previously, Victor De Leon, Police Chief of Ninoy Aquino International Airport, had announced that he would launch the "Philippine Airport Police Weapons Return Campaign." After listening to Chairman Lee's message of peace, he pondered what he could do, and subsequently developed a campaign to block arms and return them.

He said, “Chairman Lee’s actions for peace in Mindanao have become a great example to us all. The Chairman's valuable efforts will truly bring an end to the conflict in Mindanao. I also wish to be used as a tool for peace."


Peace!!

 [HWPL]

[HWPL] Peace Tours of Man-Hee Lee (46): “Chairman Lee Contributes to the Realization of World Peace, WARP Office Awakens Spirit of Love Among Religions”


At the '7th World Confluence of Humanity, Power and Spirituality' hosted by SREI Foundation at Le Meridien Hotel in India on December 22, 2015, Chairman Man-hee Lee is being awarded a plaque of appreciation for 'Recognition for Service to Humanity'

Chairman Lee visited India again after a year on December 19, 2015, after the 16th Peace Tour. Chairman Lee and the peace delegation who arrived at Indira Gandhi International Airport, India, on the 19th were greeted by Manjit Singh GK, President of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee, whom he had met during the 16th peace tour. They presented bouquets of flowers to Chairman Lee and his peace delegation.

Mr. Singh organized transportation and security personnel to transport Chairman Lee and the peace delegation to their accommodation. The welcome ceremony continued in the lobby of Le Meridien Hotel. Vijay Jolly, President of Delhi Study Group, and his party came to the hotel lobby and presented Chairman Lee with a plaque of appreciation. Even dignitaries, who had planned to meet with Chairman Lee the following day, came directly to the hotel to meet Chairman Lee.

Chairman Man-hee Lee delivers a keynote speech at Le Meridien Hotel in New Delhi, India, on December 22, 2015, during the '7th World Confluence of Humanity, Power and Spirituality' hosted by SREI Foundation

Ahead of a packed schedule on the 20th, Dr. Hari Prasad Kanoria, Chairman of SREI Foundation and an HWPL Advisory Council member, visited Chairman Lee at Le Meridien Hotel. Dr. Kanoria, who had attended the 1st and 2nd Annual Commemoration of the World Alliance of Religions' Peace (WARP) Summit in September 2014 and September 2015, was impressed by Chairman Lee's peace movement and decided to cooperate with HWPL on their peace tours. During the 16th Peace Tour, he arranged a meeting between Abdul Kalam, the 11th President of India, and Chairman Lee. During that peace tour, Chairman Lee was invited to a large spiritual event hosted by the SREI Foundation.

Dr. Kanoria is a former Judge of the High Court of Calcutta and a Hindu. Nevertheless, he has a deep knowledge of other religions and had a meeting with Chairman Lee about the Book of Job in the Bible. He was overjoyed at receiving a portrait gift of himself and a picture frame by HWPL.

On the 22nd, a spiritual event was hosted by SREI Foundation at Le Meridien Hotel in India. The SREI Foundation was established in 2009 and is in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (UN ECOSOC). Since 2010, it has held its annual international 'World Confluence of Humanity, Power and Spirituality' conference, and has continued exchanges of correspondence with global political and religious leaders. About 1,000 people attended the '7th World Confluence of Humanity, Power and Spirituality', where Chairman Lee was invited as a keynote speaker and representative of South Korea.

On December 22, 2015, key figures who attended the ‘7th World Confluence of Humanity, Power and Spirituality' hosted by the SREI Foundation are taking commemorative photos at Le Meridien Hotel in India

Chairman Lee explained the reason why, despite being religious, he launched a peace tour rather than a religious movement: “If peace is achieved, the Creator will return to rule over the world, and if he reigns, this whole world will be blessed.” In addition, Chairman Lee emphasized that "peace is something we can do, but it's not been achieved because we're not doing it," and added that conflicts in India can be resolved if they set their minds to it.

Dr. Kanoria expressed his appreciation for Chairman Lee's steps towards sustainable peace and delivered his plaque of appreciation at the meeting. In the plaque of appreciation entitled 'Recognition for Service to Humanity', the Foundation's plaque reads, "Chairman Lee's mission is to live and let live in peace, harmony, love following the path of righteousness protecting Mother Earth. He has faith in his own religion while respecting other religions," and also praised Chairman Lee's achievements, saying, “He awakens the inner power & ignite human power.” With reference to the HWPL peace movement, he stated, "HWPL works towards a world with happiness, peace, harmony, austerity, simplicity, prosperity & good health for all."

A press conference was then held at the request of the Indian media without taking time for lunch. Seven media outlets participated: TV5, CNN-IBN, Human Rights Observers, Rajya Sabha TV, Chardikla Time TV, DELTA News, and Samachar Varta.

The final schedule was a meeting between Chairman Lee and his peace delegation and officials of the HWPL India WARP Office. The HWPL WARP Office is a forum for religious people to gather and engage in discussion for the realization of peace, and it was launched through the 2014 WARP Summit. Based on the 23rd peace tour, 104 independent seminars were established in 56 countries over about a year: 15 in the Americas, 10 in Africa, 47 in Asia, 6 in Oceania, 17 in Europe, 6 in the Middle East, and 3 in the Commonwealth of Independent States.

In the WARP Office, religious people gather under the theme of peace alone, compare and discuss their scriptures, realize their duties and cooperate. For this reason, it is strongly praised among religious leaders as an historic, epochal and unprecedented meeting platform. In particular, in countries with extreme conflict, the true value of the WARP Office is shining brightly.

Indians who had attended the WARP Summit confirmed the answer to peace, returned to their countries and voluntarily opened branches of the HWPL WARP Office. During the 23rd Peace Tour, HWPL India actively held WARP office meetings in five regions: Delhi, Nagpur, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Hyderabad. The WARP Office religious leaders active within each region who had heard the news of Chairman Lee and the peace delegation's visit gathered and invited Chairman Lee to a meeting.

Participants attending the ‘7th World Confluence of Humanity, Power and Spirituality’ hosted by the SREI Foundation at Le Meridien Hotel, India on December 22, 2015
At that meeting, Pastor Viraj Manohal Sende of Murray Memorial Hospital said, “The WARP Office plays an important role in awakening the spirit of love in religion. I really respect Chairman Lee. He is a most precious individual because he conveys a message that can end wars and achieve world peace for everyone, uniting various religions through dialogue, and contributing to the realization of peace.” He presented Chairman Lee with the Peace Bell as a token of his gratitude.

Participants studied and discussed scriptures and asked questions about matters they were unable to solve. Chairman Lee responded to the questions step by step. Religious people who attended that day promised to become one with HWPL. The Sikh party sent Chairman Lee and his delegation off on their way home.

Peace!!

[HWPL] Peace Tours of Man-Hee Lee (45): Five Schools in India Designated as ‘HWPL Peace Academy’, “HWPL Peace Education is the Answer to Peace”

 [HWPL]

[HWPL] Peace Tours of Man-Hee Lee (45): Five Schools in India Designated as ‘HWPL Peace Academy’, “HWPL Peace Education is the Answer to Peace”


During the 16th Peace Tour in December 2014, Chairman Man-hee Lee received an invitation from Ramagya School in India, but was unable to make a visit at that time and left a short message in response, saying, “I will certainly visit you in the future.” Chairman Lee fulfilled that promise on December 20, 2015, exactly one year later.

On December 20, 2015, at Ramagya School in India, students are taking commemorative photos after greeting Chairman Lee, wearing red T-shirts with the acronym IPYG (International Peace Youth Group) engraved on them and holding a ‘PEACE’ hand sign

Receiving Chairman Lee's response, Ramagya School made preparations for an important event. The 'Monument to the Declaration of World Peace' was installed in the school to promote HWPL peace education. The Declaration of World Peace, which Chairman Lee proclaimed to the world on May 25, 2013, was engraved on the monument with a message of peace.

On that day, Ramagya School held the HWPL Peace Academy Designation Ceremony along with the unveiling ceremony of the monument.

Regarding the implementation of HWPL peace education in primary and secondary schools, Principal Shweta Mishra said that she “strongly believes that HWPL peace education is a resource for peace and reconciliation.“ She said, “I was deeply moved and surprised by HWPL's activities", and added, "Currently, many activists continue to make efforts for world peace, but HWPL has provided a clear answer to achieving peace."

The answer to peace presented by HWPL is the enactment of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) and the World Alliance of Religions' Peace (WARP) Office. Regarding this, Principal Mishra emphasized, “I hope that every student of Ramagya School will become a student of peace who knows how to resolve conflict. And I believe that only HWPL peace education can achieve this.”

On December 20, 2015, Chairman Lee fulfilled the promise he had made one year earlier and visited Ramagya School in India. He is giving a commemorative speech at the HWPL Peace Academy Designation Ceremony, which was held at Ramagya School.

Chairman Lee, who gave a commemorative speech, said, “All these events today will serve as a great education for everyone throughout the global village. It will shine in history. You are the hope of the world.”

Chairman Lee continued, “There is a saying that 'a king, a teacher and a father are one', but we have one bigger parent,” and explained, “God the Creator, who gave birth to and created this world, is our parent.” Then, Chairman Lee said, “Though the world is harsh, Heaven is working for the peace of mankind. We must all follow Heaven’s will. We are the messengers of this era, born in this generation.”

The schools in India that became HWPL Peace Academies on December 20, 2015 are Ramagya School, Samsara The World Academy, Jaypee Public School Noida, Ahlcon Public School, and Noida International University


A total of 5 schools in India became HWPL Peace Academies on that day: Ramagya School, Samsara The World Academy, Jaypee Public School Noida, Ahlcon Public School, and Noida International University.

HWPL appointed the following individuals as HWPL ambassadors: Director Rajni Gupta and Principal Shweta Mishra of Ramagya School, Principal Anjali Malik of Jaypee Public School, and Principal Praveen Roy of Samsara The World Academy. They signed the peace agreement as a sign of their commitment to HWPL peace education. On that day, Ramagya School appointed Chairman Lee as an honorary Chairman of the Advisory Board.

On December 20, 2015, Ramagya School officials are appointing Chairman Lee as an honorary Chairman of the Advisory Board

Principal Mishra, who said she got to know Chairman Lee in 2014, said, “I was very excited to meet Chairman Lee, who lived a life similar to mine. I also saw my friends dying in war, so I can connect with Chairman Lee and truly understand his vision.” In addition, Principal Mishra said, "I know how precious human life is and that no one has the right to take it away. That's why I will work for peace until the last day of my life."

On December 20, 2015, Chairman Lee, Ramagya School, and officials from four other schools are cheering during the announcement of the designation of HWPL Peace Academy

Pravin Roy, Principal of Samsara The World Academy, said, "I hope that many students listen to Chairman Lee's works of peace," and promised, "I will gather students from about 50 schools in New Delhi."

The news of the designation of five HWPL Peace Academies, including Ramagya School, became known throughout India on that day through local media reports.

On the 21st, through the introduction of Narinder Singh, UN International Law Commissioner, Chairman Lee met with Sudarsana Natchiappan, President of Indian Society of International Law, to discuss the peace education process. The interview was held at the office of the Indian Society of International Law. The Indian Society of International Law is the premier national institution for education and promotion of international law. HWPL sought to have peace education made available to international law students by registering the HWPL peace education course as a regular curriculum there.

Chairman Lee first explained to President Natchiappan the activities pertaining to the enactment of international law and the WARP Office movement that had been pressing ahead since the 2014 WARP Summit. Chairman Lee explained their current status, saying, “We are trying to enact an international law to end wars for the cause of peace.”

Explaining why he is conducting the WARP Office movement, Chairman Lee said, “I do not believe that world peace will be achieved just because international law is enacted. Religions must unite in God, then religiously-motivated wars will come to an end."

On December 21, 2015, Sudarsana Natchiappan, President of Indian Society of International Law, and Chairman Lee had a meeting

Chairman Lee said, “The law of heaven is recorded in religious scripture. The laws of this world are very important, but the laws of heaven are even more important.” At the time of the WARP Summit, former and current presidents, legal experts, political heads, and NGOs gathered and signed the Agreement to Propose the Enactment of International Law for the Cessation of Wars and World Peace, while religious people gathered and signed the World Alliance of Religions Agreement.

President Natchiappan agreed, saying, "The law of heaven and the law of the earth, as the Chairman said, must unite and strive to achieve peace." He also said, “As President of the Indian Society of International Law, I will also participate in the enactment of international law that the Chairman desires. Through my knowledge and experience of the United Nations, I can help the HWPL peace movement.” He became an HWPL Advisory Council Member on that day.

On December 20, 2015, the HWPL Peace Academy Designation Ceremony is held at Ramagya School in India


Peace!!
