[HWPL] HWPL's Peace Monument 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 health check-up event with Royal Embassy of Cambodia

Peace Monument Unveiled in Bulgan Soum, Khovd Aimag, Mongolia: A Symbol of Harmony and Peace

▲ Monument Unveiling Ceremony

On May 9th, approximately 400 local residents, students, and education officials gathered at the 1st Secondary School of Bulgan Soum of Khovd Province in Mongolia for the successful “Unveiling Ceremony of the Peace Monument.”

The event was organized through collaboration between HWPL and the school, establishing a Peace Monument within the grounds of the 1st Secondary School of Bulgan Soum, Khovd Province, symbolizing harmony within Mongolia and the spread of peace culture worldwide.

Principal Bayarsaikhan Sodnoo of the 1st Secondary School of Bulgan Soum, Khovd Province, stated: “The peace monument erected here today is not merely a sculpture, but carries deep meaning for the distant future. In this era where people freely travel and live around the world, I hope this monument will serve as a symbol that makes not only the residents of Bulgan Soum, but also travelers from distant countries such as the United States, Japan, and Korea feel that ‘this is a land of peace.'”

He also expressed his goal to formally incorporate HWPL’s peace education program into the curriculum of the 1st Secondary School of Bulgan Soum and, furthermore, to ensure that all residents in the region receive peace education.

The monument unveiling was attended by Principal Bayarsaikhan along with school staff members including Oyun-Erdene Buyan-Ulzii, Ganchimeg Urtnasan, and Nyamdavaa Tumurbaatar. Students conveyed a message of peace through their performance of the “Peace Dove” song.

Ganchimeg, the education manager at the 1st Secondary School of Bulgan Soum, explained: “Bulgan Soum in Khovd Aimag is a region where two major ethnic groups, the Torghut and Kazakh peoples, live together. Despite significant differences in language, culture, and ways of thinking, the people of this region cherish living compassionately and peacefully. This peace monument symbolizes our continued commitment to living in harmony.”

HWPL plans to continuously promote peace education targeting schools and local communities in this Mongolian region, taking this monument unveiling as an opportunity. This initiative is expected to significantly contribute to creating a sustainable peace culture, particularly in conjunction with the Mongolian government’s introduction of “Civic Ethics Education.”
