Awards from Many Countries to Mr. Man Hee Lee, the Peace Advocate
"Peace" is a word that makes our
hearts warm. That is why I like the word "peace", and I am reading a
lot of books about that topic. But peace is such an abstract concept that we
often don't know how to achieve it, although we hope there will be peace in
this world.
Recently, I learned from an internet news
that there is someone who has a secret material to achieve peace in this world.
The article was about the president of Heavenly Culture, world Peace,
Restoration of Light, Mr. Man-hee Lee, who enthusiastically travels around the
world to bring peace to this world.
He put an end to the religious war in Mindanao,
Philippines between Islam and Catholic that they had killed each other for 40
years. Being just a representative of an organization, he persuaded them to
sign for the peace agreement between them. Moreover, the government of
Guatemala gave him a note of appreciation and an opportunity to put a rose on
the sculpture of Palm of Peace.
It was kind of surprising because he was
just a man who is in charge of a group and he doesn’t look so young. It could
not be easy to travel in his age. He looked like he has to do this task and
have so much confident about this.
Before I could express my feeling of
wonder, I got heard another news regarding him which is visiting Veracruz in
Mexico. He awarded the note of appreciation and a medal from the government of
Veracruz.
Mexico is located next to the United States
and well known for its beautiful landscapes and rich culture. That’s why I
thought it could be a wonderful place to live. However, it was not as safe as I
thought. There are problems of public security, drugs, traffic jam, and even
the earthquakes. Looks like it’s too much far from peace.
Even though Mexico may seem a place where
peace is nowhere to be found, however, peace is starting to become a reality in
small corners. The Peace Seminar and Ceremony of Peace Agreement held in
Mexico, and the note of appreciation given to Mr. Man Hee Lee are the proof.
On 20th of last month, at 3 p.m. Mr. Man Hee
Lee, the president of Heavenly Culture and World Peace and Restoration of
Light, was given a note of appreciation and a medal by Mayor of Veracruz. Many
politicians, high ranking officials, and religious leaders attended the
awarding ceremony and gave Mr. Lee an enormous applauds.
As he was awarding Mr. Lee, the mayor of
Veracruz thanked Mr. Lee for his efforts said that they saw a light of hope for
peace. Religious leaders also said that his message of peace gave great hope to
Veracruz and Mexico suffering from prevalence of crime. What they felt when
they listened to Mr. Lee's message of peace must be same as my aspiration for
hope.
The news of peace must have been like the
soft rain and wind in a hot summer as they have been thirsty for peace. It is said that Mr. Lee decided to visit
Mexico after he met a Mexican Pastor in Uruguay this March. The Peace Walk held
in Tijuana, Mexico by Mr. Lee and Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of
Light is the reason he decided to do so. The Peace Walk was a big event that
brought a lot of youths and citizens together, so Mexican people would have
wanted to feel that joy again.
Of course, Mr. Lee's message of peace
wouldn't have touched the hearts of the world from the beginning. But he persistently
kept on with his efforts for peace so the world started to remember and cheer
for him. Now, as his message rekindles people's desire for hope, it is creating
a boom all around the world. Just like Mr. Lee's words that this kind of work
of peace cannot be done by men, it seems like the God in heaven is with him to
achieve world peace.
Many leaders in the world work hard for
world peace but there are still more wars than peace. For myself, Mr. Lee
showed that there is hope of accomplishing peace on this world and he is the
first one to do so. I anticipate eagerly to see his next move for peace, and to
hear what inspiring message he will give.
