[HWPL] Why Peace Education? - Peace Education Protects the Dreams of Children

[HWPL] Why Peace Education? - Peace Education Protects the Dreams of Children

On Universal Children's Day last year, HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light. Chairperson: Mr. Man Hee Lee) official homepage posted an article about why we need peace education for children.

www.hwpl.kr

According to the following 'shocking' statistics by UNICEF, it clearly shows why.

Even nowadays, children are facing war, conflict, abuse, violence, forced labor, early marriage and poverty which all make children to go through pain and death without living the life they want. No bright future for children means no bright future for mankind. Children are pushed to workplace and battlefield with tools and guns instead of school with pencils and books. They have the rights to enjoy to be loved, cared, nurtured, educated, helped to achieve goals and live the life they want to. They should be at home with loving families and school with friends.

We have to teach children the spirit of human rights, freedom, tolerance and peace through education. In the world, now, we need respect, understanding, love and kindness instead of war, conflicts and violence. Pursuing right values for the world will change the world eventually.

Children in Africa are learning peace through DPCW (Declaration of peace and cessation of war) that are provided by HWPL and IPYG

Chairman Man Hee Lee of HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light) and IPYG (International Peace Youth Group) have been shouting for global peace campaign and movements including peace education for students of elementary school, middle school and university (college). Mr. Man Hee Lee has been stressing "Let children learn peace, not war. They will become messengers of peace in the future who will achieve the world peace."

IPYG (International Peace Youth Group) has been stressing on 'Young people have to protect themselves from the war and death by achieving world peace. Who will compensate for the time and lives of young people?' Peace education will unite the youth and let them move forward to a brighter future with world peace. HWPL and Mr. Man Hee Lee intend to pass on a peaceful world to children through peace education. Peace education is now more than necessary for the protection of children and young people from death. It will surely keep their lives safe.

[HWPL] Mr. Man Hee Lee's HWPL Recalls the Spirit of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights through the DPCW

Logo from the United Nation Official Homepage

70 years ago, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed The Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10 December 1948 in Paris.

According to the United Nations official homepage, it was adopted to establish a common standard of inalienable rights for all people and nations. It was the first declaration of fundamental human rights aimed to protect human rights universally. It has been translated into over 500 languages.

An image of the declaration

Many legal experts and diplomats have worked to discuss ways to create a first and perfect declaration for universal human rights, and they drafted 30 articles in support of the protection of human rights from war, conflict and any other threat to humanity. It was a highly innovative and significant milestone considering the world’s past history where 'human rights' have been seriously abused.

From the United Nation official website

Despite the United Nations proclamation and efforts of the great people who founded it, the Korean War broke out 2 years later in the Korean peninsula and many more major and minor wars and conflicts followed including the Vietnam War, Gulf War and Iraq War. How sad and tragic this is. The declaration couldn't prevent humanity from such a tragic turn of events.

Meanwhile, there is someone who experienced the Korean War as a soldier on the front-lines, witnessing all wars, conflicts, terrorism, injustice and inequality.

Mr. Man Hee Lee. Chairman of HWPL who have declared DPCW

Mr. Man Hee Lee, the chairperson of HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light) who does real work for world peace. HWPL was founded in 2013 and created its sub-organizations, IWPG (International Women's Peace Group) and IPYG (International Peace Youth Group).

Mr. Man Hee Lee of HWPL declared the Declaration of World Peace in 2013 and hosted the 918 World Peace Festival WARP Summit. Within a short period of time, many politicians, legal experts, diplomats, press, religious leaders and leaders of NGOs joined HWPL and Mr. Man Hee Lee to do the real work of world peace. Eventually, the DPCW (Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War) was proclaimed on 14 March 2016 in Korea.

Images of DPCW's 10 articles

Mr. Man Hee Lee wants to create an international legally-binding law with the power to truly cease wars and conflicts throughout the world. Along with the members of HWPL, he wants to create a world with peace and friendship among all people regardless of nationality, race, sex, social status or religion in a world free of weapons or arms.

Now, Mr. Man Hee Lee, HWPL and its members are all working hard to introduce the DPCW's 10 articles and 38 clauses to the United Nations so that leaders in every nation in the world can sign it and turn it into legally binding law that can cease all world conflict. I, as a major supporter of HWPL, am also one of those people who wants the DPCW to be recognized as international law with global legal authority.

What we can do is promote HWPL and the DPCW, so that leaders in every country can sign and support the DPCW for enactment at the United Nations as international law in its assembly.

[Peace Quotes]

[Peace Quotes] "Our Next Generation will be Naturally Born as Peace Messengers"

Greetings! Family of Peace :)

About 3 weeks ago, I posted a newspaper article from India that reported news about a peace education agreement :)

Click below link to read the article

[HWPL] Peace Education for the Youth in Four Countries

News about this peace education agreement has also been delivered to Nigeria :)

A few days ago, Nigerian Tribune (Nigeria's most informative newspaper) published news regarding this agreement with quotes from Mr. Man Hee Lee (the chairman of HWPL) :)

So, today, I want to share some of Mr. Man Hee Lee’s quotes made during the agreement and the congratulatory speech session.

Nigerian Tribune, Nigeria, November 9th 2018

"AT THIS TIME, THE WORLD IS CRYING OUT FOR PEACE SINCE IT IS SURROUNDED BY WARS. THE WORLD IS DEVELOPING WEAPONS OF DESTRUCTION RATHER THAN DEVELOPING A CULTURE OF PEACE."

The chairman’s concerns are that people are producing increasingly powerful and destructive weapons than ever before. There are still numerous hostilities and conflicts raging throughout the world, which are caused by a variety of reasons. 

People often don't know how to solve such problems in a peaceful way, but rather through aggressive and violent means, because that is the only way they have been exposed to since birth from parents, families, neighbors, friends, community and country.

To this end, Mr. Man Hee Lee initiated peace education for elementary, middle, high school and university students. Through this peace education curriculum, young students, who are the future of our world, will learn to better manage conflict resolution.

Regarding this, Mr. Man Hee Lee said :

"CHILDREN TAKE AFTER THEIR PARENTS AND CONFORM TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT. WHAT FRUITS SHOULD THE TEACHERS GATHER FROM THE STUDENTS? CHILDREN SHOULD LEARN PEACE FROM THEIR HOMES AND SCHOOLS. THEN, OUR NEXT GENERATION WILL INHERENTLY BE BORN AS PEACE MESSENGERS IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF PEACE." 

The chairman of HWPL, Mr. Man Hee Lee.

I completely agree with his idea. War, rather than peace, is more familiar and recognizable to us through media, internet, television, literature, gaming etc. However, something must cut this cycle of conflicts. Everyone must know that peace is something that we can make come true, and not something Utopian. 

Peace can be achieved and maintained forever in a world where people will perceive war to be the more strange and absurd thing. If children learn to talk, discuss, negotiate and resolve problems and conflicts in a peaceful way, the world will change into a peaceful one because a 'peaceful resolution' would become the only way for people to work to end the problem.

Teachers must teach children to make peace with others through 'good' dialogue, not with their fists. Then students will become 'natural peace messengers' who will certainly pass 'peace' on to future generations :) No good parent wants their child to be violent and vicious. Therefore, HWPL's peace education is the best way of making a peaceful world :)

Let's look forward to the day when peace will become very common to all people in the world :)

[HWPL] Brief Biography of Man Hee Lee the chairman of HWPL. The path to peace.

[HWPL] Brief Biography of Man Hee Lee the chairman of HWPL. The path to peace.

Greetings! Family of Peace :)

I have been introducing the many activities of HWPL and the progress of the DPCW, but I realized that I haven't talked much with you about the chairman of HWPL, Man Hee Lee. I know that I mentioned his name and who he is in previous articles, but I want to do it again to remind you who we are working together with :)

Man Hee Lee, the chairman of HWPL, was born in the small rural town of Cheongdo, south-east Korea. He came from a poor farming family who had little to eat and live on because he also had many brothers and sisters.

He said :

"I was born into a poor family. I have experienced sorrow, pain, hunger, contempt, disdain, and glares. I have fought with people, been beaten by people, and worked my fingers to the bone."

He went through many hardships as a kid which were so harsh for his age. Moreover, at the end of his teenage years, the Korean War (the most tragic in Korean history) had broken out and he joined the war as a staff sergeant in the front line.

"I also fought in the frontlines of war, the Korean War, as a combat soldier. It was a tragic, fratricidal war."

"I saw my comrades dying in pain countless times. I was stuck in a situation where I could not advance forward or retreat. I was so hungry that I even ate dirt and gunpowder. I struggled to survive. The sounds of guns, cannons, jets, and bombs did not stop for one second. The heavens, the earth, and my heart trembled, and the sky was filled with smoke. When will the soldiers change out of their bloodstained military uniforms? Killing with guns and dying from starvation—this was the tragedy of a fratricidal war. However, Korea is still a divided country and faces potential threats today. I, who have experienced these difficulties but came out alive, was guided by the heavens to make a pledge in blood and begin a life of faith. Even as I carried out my life of faith, I experienced many difficulties. Were these moral lessons? Were they moments of refinement?"

The young Man Hee Lee has experienced a time without peace but only killings, hunger, sorrow, death, destruction, despair and every physical and mental scar that war can bring people. His experience as a soldier in the Korean War became one of the most strongest motivations for Mr. Man Hee Lee in establishing HWPL and creating the DPCW.

Later, in his 80s, he founded the world's largest volunteer organization (later becoming HWPL) with his colleagues and friends then hosted many peace events and traveled the world to meet global dignitaries including politicians, legal experts, professors of various fields, leaders of many ethnic groups and of women's and youth organizations to urge them to work for world peace together.

As a result of his hard work, the peace N.G.O HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light)  was established in Korea and registered under the Korean government and the UN. Shortly after the foundation of HWPL he continued his path for world peace. In 2013, he proclaimed the Declaration of World Peace. 

www.hwpl.kr

In 2014, he hosted the 918 World Peace WARP Summit with all the people he had invited from all over the world and...

918 World Peace WARP Summit

"....and we then hosted the 6^th World Peace Festival: Culture and Sports Celebration of Restoring Light, which was the greatest Olympiad ever to be hosted in the world.   The politics and laws of East and West Germany failed to unify their nation, but the candlelight protests of the religious people became the stepping stone for unification and achieving peace. The island of Mindanao in Philippines lost about 120,000 lives from the 40-year religious conflict, and the conflict between the government forces and the rebel forces could not be resolved.

However, God sent me to settle this problem, which neither the government laws nor the armed forces were able to resolve. The war came to an end and peace arrived in the island of Mindanao.  Moreover, the rebel forces who heard the word of God through me turned over their weapons to the government that day."

HWPL's chairman, Mr. Man Hee Lee brought out the peace agreement between Catholicism and Islam who had fought each other for more than 40 years. It showed that HWPL and Mr. Man Hee Lee have the power to resolve civil and religious conflicts (that even the U.N. couldn't stop) in a peaceful way.

His peaceful steps steadily continued and he gathered numerous people for world peace. Legal experts and professionals joined HWPL to create a new international law - DPCW (the Declaration of Peace and the Cessation of War) - for implementation via the U.N. Furthermore, world politicians also participated with HWPL to introduce the DPCW to the U.N. and to urge world dignitaries to work together for world peace.

In 2018, once again, the 525 peace walk campaign and 918 World Peace WARP Summit was hosted in Korea and throughout the world.

His peace work doesn't end here. According to some statistics, 80% of wars are caused by religious conflict. So HWPL also runs the Alliance of Religions Office (also called the WARP Office) to offer opportunities for every religion to talk and to discuss what the truth of God is. This initiative demonstrates religions' peaceful way of resolving religious conflict.

Mr. Man Hee Lee also cooperates with educational experts and professionals. He thinks we need to teach youth about world peace and the peaceful resolution of conflicts. Together with colleagues of peace, HWPL has introduced peace education and published textbooks. Many elementary, middle and high schools and universities throughout the world have already adopted HWPL's peace education to teach their students the value of world peace.

"I received many rewards from around the world—certificates of awards, plaques, and medals. However, these are not the true rewards. The true reward is the establishment of world peace. This is an eternal reward.
 The cessation of war and establishment of peace on this earth is truly the will of God.  God has worked for this purpose.
The political leaders, justices, religious leaders, heads of organizations, and the press around the world believe in me, the peace advocate, and are working together in this movement of peace.
 The road I walk on is small and narrow."

As he said in his quotes, he is a Christian and the chairman of a Christian group too. He always says 'World peace is God's work. God helps me to do his work, which is world peace'.

Myself don't believe in any religion but I believe world peace is the only choice for mankind; the only way for future generations and for the world.

I have been watching his peace work since 2015 and he really has been working - not for his profit - but for mankind and the world. There are some people who slander him and his work because of their ignorance and narrow minds that distort their perception of Mr. Man Hee Lee and HWPL's peace work. They label Mr. Man Hee Lee and HWPL a cult that tries to deceive people for  profit, but I would like to ask them, "What kind of cult would do the work of world peace and devote themselves for this peace work like a martyr without rest?" If slanderers were to see how Mr. Man Hee Lee and his colleagues have been working for world peace, they would surely be quiet.

Mr. Man Hee Lee is a true religious man who works for the world and the future.

I wish for every person, including those who slander Man Hee Lee and HWPL, to join this wonderful, fantastic work of world peace. It does not belong to any single individual, but to us all :) Let's save ourselves and our children from war. Let's save our future together :)

Peace!

[HWPL News] Korean and Global NGO Advocate Peace

[HWPL News]

Korean and Global NGO Advocate Peace

I heard the news that on November 30th, a forum titled ‘Korea Peace Unification Forum’ was established and peace-building measures for the unification of Korea and global peace was held at the Korean National Assembly Member’s Conference Hall.

At this Chairman Man Hee Lee of HWPL explained the reality in regards to the tragedy of the fratricidal war.
“I am a veteran of the Korean War. I can still clearly remember the voices of comrades resenting the war under the bullets.”
“We were born equally in this world but they lost their lives cruelly and horribly without a chance to live their lives. Neither the politics nor the law has given the compensation  to the young soldiers who sacrificed their lives,” he added.

Mr. Man Hee Lee had been through and experienced the war.
Therefore he had a tremendous desire to achieve world peace more than most  anyone else.

As he mentioned, nothing can compensate for the loss of youth.

I sympathize with his speech and views. Neither the politics nor the law has given  compensation to the young soldiers who sacrificed their lives.

As a youth living in this generation, I am very appreciative of his peace efforts.

The peace quotes that is resonating with people

The peace quotes that is resonating with people. There is nothing greater or of greater value in than peace work. This work will be a glory remembered forever in the history of mankind. All current heads of state, those who love their country, their people, and peace, should then sign this international law. People live by the light, rain, and air provided by heaven. Having received this grace of life, they then kill one another in wars, instead of loving and protecting each other. When religions, which have all become corrupt, offer themselves to the true God and unite under the Creator, then the conflicts between these religions will be resolved, and world peace will be achieved. - The Chairman of HWPL, Mr. Man Hee Lee - I wish peace comes as soon as possible in this world. ★ HWPL Website ☞ http://www.hwpl.kr/ ★ WARP Summit Website ☞ http://warpsummit.org/ ★ Peace Law Website ☞ http://peacelaw.org/ ★ Peace Mother Blog ☞ http://peacemother.blogspot.kr/
