[HWPL] HWPL's WARP event in Mongolia!

[HWPL] HWPL's WARP event in Mongolia!


Chairman ManHee Lee is the head representative of the global peace organization HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light), which is striving for the enactment and implementation of the international peace law 'Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW)'. The  DPCW is a legal instrument comprised of 10 articles and 38 clauses that can end wars and hostilities throughout the world. HWPL is also spreading a culture of peace and implementing peace education.

Chairman ManHee Lee experienced the cruelty and tragedy of war as a veteran of the Korean War. This is one of the reasons why he founded a global peace campaign as the head of HWPL. He has traveled the globe more than 35 times to meet and persuade politicians, legal experts, journalists, professors, peace activists, civil organization leaders, heads of tribes and others to unite them for the work of peace. The significant fruits borne out of his hard work are the World Alliance of Religions' Peace (WARP) Summit and HWPL Peace Committee. The DPCW was drafted and finalised by the HWPL Peace Committee.

How, you may wonder, do I know this? About 10 years ago, when I had just been discharged from military service, I came to know HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee while researching the topic of civil conflicts to satisfy my curiosity in ongoing global issues. At that time, the island of Mindanao in the Philippines was suffering from a major civil conflict that lasted more than 40 years, and Chairman ManHee Lee and HWPL resolved this conflict through non-violent means.

Chairman Lee brought an end to the conflict in Mindanao by holding a peace talk between the warring Catholic and Islamic groups. Before the talk, HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee held a Peace Walk to spread the culture of peace in Mindanao with the many locals who had gathered out of a desire for peace.

Chairman ManHee Lee's pressing appeal today is that humanity unites for sustainable peace in order to pass on the legacy of peace to future generations worldwide. He doesn't just talk peace, but has worked tirelessly for it through practical peace campaigns for over a decade.

I decided to become a supporter of HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee's peace initiatives because I also desire a world of peace for all posterity.

Today I'd like to introduce an article regarding HWPL's WARP (World Alliance of Religions' Peace) office event in Mongolia


Three Mongolian Religious Affairs Offices Host Joint Discussion

On June 15th, a discussion hosted by Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) took place at Yargait Mountain in Mongolia.

The event brought together around 19 religious leaders and organization heads to discuss the topic of food and religion. This dialogue was particularly noteworthy as it was a collaborative event involving three Mongolian WARP (World Alliance of Religions’ Peace) offices from Ulaanbaatar and Nalaikh. Religious leaders from Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity participated, sharing insight into the characteristics and taboos of food in their religions, and engaging in discussions based on their scriptures.

Bavuu Bayarsaikhan, a scholar from the Krishna Mandir Hindu Temple, described Hindu dietary practices. “Every food we consume in our lifetime possesses life or a soul, which inevitably brings about karma,” Bayarsaikhan said. “Animals, plants, and fruits all serve human needs, but their lives are taken in the process. Thus, those who seek to know and worship God should particularly avoid killing animals. Emphasizing plant-based foods is considered a lesser sin.”

Sukhbat Purevjav, an NGO chairman of the Board of Palace of Traditional Rituals of the Mongolian Nation, shared his viewpoint on food mentioned in Buddhism. “Food is needed to provide nutrients to our body, but knowledge and information are significant in providing wisdom,” Chairman Purevjav explained. “One with wisdom would always speak positive words and has positive thoughts, and will inherit to one’s children. At this time when the whole world is facing a crisis, what is important is the food for spirits such as traditions, God’s teachings, and knowledge that has already been proven.”

Tserenchimed Jurnai, chairman of Khudaya Association of Mongolia, introduced Islamic food culture and customs. “According to the Quran, Muslims don’t eat meat that was hunted, diseased, or cruelly butchered,” Chairman Jumai said. “We avoid drinking alcohol, taking drugs, or banned food such as pork. The representative food in Islam is barley flour that we cultivate and harvest and make pure.”

The time that the religious leaders and organization heads spent together was meaningful. The event participants gained a better understanding of the food culture and traditions of each religion and were glad to take part in HWPL’s peace initiatives.
