Message of peace from Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light
On June 28, the ceremony of the 100th
anniversary of the outbreak of World War Ⅰ was held in Sarajevo, the
capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina. But, it was progressed with ethnic
antipathy between Bosnians and Serbians.
Indeed, Bosnia and Herzegovina is the
country that has plenty of terrible pain and grief. It has had lots of
conflicts between races or religions in its history. It includes Islam 50%,
Serbian Orthodox 30%, Catholicism 15%, and others 5%.
As we know well, the war all started with
the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife. Following the
incident, Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia. And Germany was
allied with the Austro-Hungarian Empire to fight against British Empire and
France, while Russia was allied with Serbia. In short, it developed into war between
the Allied Forces (British Empire, France, and Russia) and the Central Powers
(Germany and Austria-Hungary). Furthermore, Europe split over the World War Ⅱ into two parts: West Europe following liberalism and Eastern Europe
espousing the communism. The Soviet Union disintegrated with the fall of the
Berlin Wall, and the nations that had been under the Soviet Union claimed their
independence, insisting their own history, religion and race respectively.
Among these countries, Bosnia and
Herzegovina which was built with arbitration of U.S.A is the multiracial and
multi religious nation. Also, until now, the true reconciliation in races and
religions has not yet taken place since it was established under pressure of
the world powers. However, I certainly believe that peace will come to Bosnia
and Herzegovina sooner than any other countries.
That’s because there is a world
peace activist, Man Hee Lee who is the chairman of Heavenly Culture, World
Peace, Restoration of light (“HWPL”). He is practicing love like the light,
rain, and air that transcends the borders, races, religions and ideologies. Let
me set out what Mr. Lee said.
According to chairman, the culture of heaven
is the only material that the world peace can be made a reality. In other
words, we can fulfill world peace with the culture in accordance with the will of
heaven. Hence, he assigned the duties to the president of each country, women, young
adults, and the press for achieving peace in the global village.
Below are the
duties:
▲ The presidents
should agree to enact a clause in international law for world peace and the
cessation of wars.
▲Women should
join International Women’s Peace Group (“IWPG”) so that they can protect their
children.
▲ Youths should
join International Peace Youth Group (“IPYG”) so that they can be part of peace
movement.
▲The press should
report peace movement to bring about world peace.
Chairman Man Hee Lee has toured in 16
countries, including Central and South America and Eastern Europe. He also
concluded the peace agreements with 12 former and current presidents of these
countries since last March of this year. Mr. Lee delivered a speech in ICD
International Conference which was held in the Assembly of Rome on April 1.
About 400 politicians and religious leaders from each country attended this
conference and some of them made speeches about world peace for 3 hours in
total. Especially, Mr. Lee showed a video about “International Youth Peace Walk”
under the theme of “World Peace and Restoration”, while
introducing the process of the peace agreement in Mindanao of the Philippines
which is considered as one of the most productive peace work. He appealed to participants
“to join the work of leaving the world without war to the next generation”. Attendees
also took a keen interest in the appeal of this Korean peace activist who cried
out for peace with “productive results.”
Below is the list of the former and current
leaders who signed the peace agreement.
Former prime minister of
Eastern Germany, Hans Modrow
Former prime minister of
Austria, Alfred Gusenbauer
Former prime minister of
Spain, ose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
Current vice president of
Peru and female leader, Marisol Espinoza
Former president of
Colombia, Belisario Betancur
Former president of
Guatemala, Alvaro Colom Caballeros
Former president of
Slovenia, Danilo Türk
Former president of
Slovenia, Milan Kucan
Former female minister of
Slovakia, veta Radicova
Former president of
Rumania, Ion Iliescu
Former prime minister of
Serbia, Zoran Živković
Former prime minister of
Serbia, Mirko Cvetković
Slovenia, Serbia, Austria, and Rumania are
the neighboring countries of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I sincerely look forward
to laying the foundation for peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina through this event
for the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of World War Ⅰ.
