[HWPL] Nations of Korean War and HWPL. Serial Posting 2. United Kingdom

Year 2020 is the 70th anniversary of the Korean War which scarred the whole Korean peninsula in the 20th century. Two ideologies (democracy and communism) clashed on a small peninsula as 21 countries fought for the ideologies they followed and more than 50 countries helping one side with medical or financial support. All people struggled for the peace that they believed in, resulting in more than one million casualties. Today, Chairman Man Hee Lee and his peace groups (HWPL, IWPG and IPYG) are working together with people throughout the world for sustainable world peace. I begin these serial postings recalling the Korean War, paying respect to all those who fought and sacrificed their lives in the Korean War, and inform you how Mr. Man Hee Lee and his peace groups (HWPL, IWPG and IPYG) have been working for world peace and for future generations :)

Every week, I will write about one country that participated in the Korean War and how the country has been working together with Chairman Man Hee Lee and these peace groups for world peace :)

Today's country is the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom dispatched 81,000 soldiers and suffered more than 3,600 casualties (including those missing and POWs). The UK was the second country to send reinforcements among countries of the UN. The 27th Commonwealth Brigade that included Australian soldiers, who were enjoying peace in Hong Kong after World War 2, were suddenly sent to the Republic of Korea with no knowledge of a 'southern Korea' but they fought bravely in spite of low supplies. It is said that the UK lost many more soldiers in the Korean War than in any other wars they later engaged in (Falklands War, Iraq War and Afghanistan War), but it is an almost forgotten war in the UK. In 2020 today, there are less than 2,000 Korean War veterans in the UK.

Chairman Man Hee Lee of HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light), who is also a veteran of the Korean War, underwent all kinds of cruelty and hardship in the Korean War and has been working for world peace since 2012. The UK also participated in Chairman Man Hee Lee's global peace work and with his peace groups (HWPL, IWPG and IPYG). Many people in the UK have been working together with these peace groups on the implementation of the DPCW (Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War), May 25th Peace Walk, World Peace WARP (World Alliance of Religions' Peace) Summit, WARP Office for Interfaith Dialogue and the Legislate Peace campaign. Moreover, in 2015, Chairman Man Hee Lee and the HWPL International Law Peace Committee held a meeting in London to further the 2nd draft of the DPCW, and Chairman Man Hee Lee also delivered a powerful speech to youth on world peace at the University of Oxford.

I'm certain and hopeful that people in the United Kingdom will keep working with Chairman Man Hee Lee and HWPL for world peace and a brighter future for future generations as they have done so far :)

Peace!

In August 2019, City Montessori School hosted the Legislate Peace project to support the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) with HWPL members. After that, more than 4000 students and teachers visited South Korea to learn about the spirit of peace culture and cultural performances at the World Peace Summit. This was followed by the World Peace Summit parade and a cultural performance of peace by City Montessori School at the 20th International Conference of Chief Justices of the World which deeply moved participants to support HWPL's Peace campaign.

Moreover, to jointly work with HWPL's Peace campaign, City Montessori School hosted '2019 HWPL Religious Peace and Harmony'. Panels from various religions discussed ways for unity and harmony among world religions.

WARP (World Alliance of Religions' Peace) Office  Interfaith Dialogue is one of the main initiatives of the global peace group HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light; Chairman Man Hee Lee).

It was established in 2014 to find proper religious values for peace-building through dialogue of religious scriptures. HWPL invites prominent religious leaders to meetings to discuss religious topics for better mutual understanding and to share thoughts about achieving world peace.

Religion is used as the main cause of today's global conflicts and wars. Many religious leaders are critical of many people who interpret the scripture to suit their own thoughts and ideologies irrespective of the true meaning of their scripture and will of God. They warn that this is what leads to religious extremism that causes global terrorism, violence, conflicts and war.

Mr. Tharwat Gaid Salama Gaballa, Chairman of Horus Foundation for Development and Training in Egypt said :
"....religion does call for peace among peoples. The seed of peace is possible with this desire and with this longing to change the world.....The common objectives that all religious scriptures pursue are the realization of peace and justice, conflict resolution, human dignity, and valuing diversity."

Then what should religious and NGO leaders do together with HWPL and its WARP Office Interfaith Dialogue? NGOs have to carry out campaigns that remove and discourage extremism and religiously and racially-motivated discrimination. Scholars and religious leaders must spread true religious knowledge to lead people to world peace.

Swami Veetamohananda, Swami (religious Hindu leader) of Ramakrishna Veda center said :
"In order to find the truth all the humanity wants religious leaders need to put away the thoughts that only my religion is the best and do the comparative work based on Scripture without dividing themselves and saying 'your religion', 'my religion.'"

HWPL's WARP Office Meeting has been hosted in 220 locations across 130 countries. Chairman Man Hee Lee of HWPL said :
"The culture of the earth cannot be compared with that of heaven according to man’s yardstick of judgment. Religion is about learning the things of the spirit and the teachings of God. This is heavenly culture that can guide us to a world of peace. Through the WARP offices, religious leaders bring their scriptures to examine and find the most trustworthy evidence. Religions must unite under one true teaching and scripture. When we continue to carry out these comparisons, there will be no more wars triggered by religion."

Chairman Man Hee Lee of HWPL

Getting rid of prejudice, stubbornness, misconceptions, misinterpretations and pride through an understanding and discussion of true religious knowledge is the way to religious peace and world peace. For this purpose, HWPL's WARP Office Meeting develops and expands networks and channels of communication between global religious leaders.

Dr. Ahmed Jasem Hmood Al-Maliky, Sheikh of Office of the Religious Reference Sheikh Mohammad Al Yaqoobi in Iraq said :
"Starting by taking out the prejudice that I am right and you are wrong, let us communicate and interact with each other with these questions in mind: ‘Is what I know always right? Is the other religion always wrong? Or is there something in that religion that mine doesn't have?’ Let us find the best truth and achieve the ultimate value of peace"


Peace!

[HWPL] The 1st HWPL Religious Youth Peace Camp in Korea

[HWPL] The 1st HWPL Religious Youth Peace Camp in Korea

Original Article : HWPL Religious Youth Peace Camp was Held for the First Time in Korea

HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light. Chairperson: Man Hee Lee) reported that, alongside IPYG (International Peace Youth Group), it hosted its HWPL Religious Youth Peace Camp for the first time in Korea from June 22nd-23rd under the title 'HWPL Religious Youth Peace Camp for the Peaceful Unification of the Korean Peninsula' to raise youth awareness of religious conflicts and wars at Ulsan Hyanggyo (Confucian school) and Shimkye Temple in Gyeongju.

Participants experienced Korean traditional culture such as traditional Korean etiquette, tea ceremony and folk games to learn the culture of virtues, righteousness, courtesy and wisdom.

Moreover, they attended a WARP (World Alliance of Religions' Peace) Office meeting - one of HWPL's main initiatives - held at Shimkye Temple in Gyeongju. A panel of Buddhist, Christian, Confucian and Cheondoist speakers discussed about a world of peace and the role of a religious leader.

On June 23rd, participants learned about the Buddhist culture, beginning with a Buddhist service at 5am and a lecture on Buddhism by Monk Geosan who was on the Buddhist panel at the WARP Office meeting on the 22nd. A quiz program under the title "Mission Challenge to Achieve Unification" was given to underline that one must 'move' and 'work' to achieve world peace and unification of the Korean peninsular.

As a member of HWPL Supporters One, I think that this program is as significant as the daily public school curriculum given the many ongoing conflicts and wars in Korea and the world. Young people must learn to understand and tolerate each other beyond race, religion, sex, nationality and ideology. This camp was the first of its kind but I hope more and more students and youth will join HWPL's Religious Peace Youth Camp in the future. They will become messengers and advocates for peace who bring world peace faster and sooner. I really hope so:)

Regarding the theme 'God's Promise', Pastor Won (Christian) emphasized the New Testament and coming of God's kingdom while the Buddhist and Muslim leaders talked about 'Self-Realization for salvation' and 'Keeping the words of the Quran', respectively.

Meanwhile, the panel discussed 'The Truth' from each religion's perspective and talked about 'The truth and standard of each scripture' and 'The process and purpose of achieving the truth'. An audience member who participated in the meeting entitled 'The Truth' said, "I don't think that it is easy to perceive the truth in this chaotic world where there is so much falsehood. After listening to each religion's truth, I conclude that the ultimate purpose of truth is love."

HWPL has been hosting WARP Office meetings regularly since 2014 for the harmony of religions. It now has 250 branches in 127 countries.

Peace!

[HWPL] WARP Office meeting Interfaith Dialogue in Seoul - The Truth

HWPL 서울 경기동부지부 '불교, 유교, 기독교'대표 발제자들 열띤 토론 / Reporter Wonyoung Jung / June 27th 2019 / Sinah Daily / South Korea

HWPL's WARP Office Seoul-Gyeonggi Eastern branch hosted 'The 23rd Seoul WARP Office meeting' on 24th June under the title 'The Truth (2)' with a panel of Buddhist, Confucian and Christian representatives.

The main question was: 'Does your scripture explain one truth in various ways?'

The Buddhist panel answered: "Buddhism is about a person becoming Buddha. It can be done by ones self or by help from others, but ultimately one has to realize it by oneself."

The Confucian panel answered: "The truth of Confucianism is 'One must improve ones self before teaching others', which has developed and changed throughout Chinese history."

The Christian panel answered: "The reality is that explanations of the Bible are rampant in Christianity. The reason is that God hid the future in a way that is hard to explain. We can only know the truth when HE lets us know it through someone with the Holy Spirit."

Panels who participated in the meeting said they enjoyed a heated and enthusiastic discussion over the topic. Panels also expressed regret that they didn't study more about the truth of their respective scriptures.

HWPL now has 250 WARP Office branches globally for the Alliance of Religions' Peace and WARP Office meetings to achieve world peace.

Peace!
