Spreading Peace: The 1st Bangsamoro Peace Education Conference

Launching Peace Education 📚✌️

In May, HWPL’s Philippine branch announced peace education textbooks for Southern Leyte, the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region, and Laguna Province. They aim to sign an agreement with the Philippine Department of Education to spread peace education nationwide.

Southern Leyte’s Pilot Classes 🏫✨

Southern Leyte’s Department of Education created localized HWPL peace education textbooks and held pilot classes. This was inspired by the peace textbooks for Bangsamoro, introduced at the Bangsamoro Peace Education Conference in January.

The 1st Bangsamoro Peace Education Conference 🎉📖

On January 29, the first Bangsamoro Peace Education Conference took place in Mindanao. Co-hosted by the Department of Education in Cotabato City and HWPL, the conference showcased peace education textbooks with Islamic values. They showed how these textbooks could be used from Grade 1 to Grade 12 through demo classes.

The Peace Education Conference was attended by a total of 668 participantsincluding five high-ranking government officials such as the Minister of Basic, Higher, and Technical Education of Bangsamoro, 50 principals of elementary, middle, and high schools under the Department of Education in Cotabato City, and approximately 613 faculty members.

Looking Ahead 🌟🚀

The Ministry of Basic, Higher, and Technical Education (MBHTE) will validate the textbook. Once approved, it will be distributed to about 4,000 schools, bringing peace education to around 1.26 million students in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region.

We hope this news will be of great help to you in your quest for peace. We are connected everywhere. Peace is possible, if we bring our minds together.

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

Road to Peace #2 : Why 525? Why do they walk?

HWPL’s 11th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace and Peace Walk

Why did people start walking on 25 May? Millions of people around the world walk on that day. It started in 2013.

The Declaration of World Peace, first proclaimed by HWPL Chairman Lee on May 25, 2013, called upon people to acknowledge the dire need for world peace. And Man Hee Lee defined the roles of heads of state, women, youth and the press in achieving peace.

Over 20,000 people from 130 countries gathered to march for peace at the Peace Gate of Seoul Olympic Park, South Korea. 525 peace walk has become a symbol of peace for both youth and women around the world.

That’s how we got to our 11th anniversary this year. People have been walking for over a decade now. On the HWPL homepage, there are pictures and descriptions of the event every year, and it’s touching to see them.

The Declaration of World Peace

In keeping with the spirit of the Declaration of World Peace, that HWPL aims to achieve world peace through the heavenly culture and restore the global community with light, we are carrying out peace activities all across the world.

In 2013, HWPL’s work was defined, and the 2014 HWPL World Peace Summit brought political and religious leaders together in Seoul.

And they discussed the need for a new international law for peace. In 2015, an International Law Commission was created to further the discussion, and on 14 March 2016, Article 10, paragraph 38 of the DPCW was promulgated.

I would love the opportunity to explain DPCW in more detail.

Road to Peace #1 : HWPL’s 11th 525 Peace Walk

Today is the 25th of May. I can’t believe it’s been 11 years since HWPL was founded, and I’ve been a supporter for 8 years now.

I’m grateful, because in this way, little by little, I’ve come to think about peace every day. I guess peace is a habit!

Thoughts have a quality called inertia. If you think in a certain direction, you will eventually move in that direction, and eventually I, my friends, my neighbours, my city, and society will move in that direction.

I think it’s a force for good, and I think it’s a culture of peace. Article 10 of the DPCW is ‘Spreading a culture of peace’. Before I knew it, I was upholding DPCW international law! Suddenly I’m happy.

HWPL’s 11th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace and Peace Walk

The ‘HWPL’s 11th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace and Peace Walk’ event is held in global today.

The event, which is held under the theme of “Remembering the Peace Heroes of Nearby War.” Any citizen interested in peace can experience the horrors of war and participate in the peace movement through booth.

HWPL is said to hold a meaningful event every year to remember the sacrifices of the Korean War veterans without forgetting Peace Heroes.

The event embodies the citizens’ active will to establish an era of peace. Through the event, HWPL will tell the world that the remarkable journey of building a world of peace begins with the citizens, the true leaders of the global community.

HWPL’s Legislate Peace (LP) project has led activities to reach a world of peace built by citizens since 2013. The project hosts citizen-led global campaigns aiming to realize sustainable peace, long yearned by every member of the global community.

25 May has become a day to celebrate peace, where citizens take the initiative in planning and organizing peace events. That resonance of peace will stimulate collective civic action and help a culture of peace take root in the global society.

This is the first part of the Road to Peace! I will continue to post about my trip to Seoul in the future, so stay tuned. Let’s be messengers of peace together.

Re: 2014 HWPL World Peace Summit – 2

Peace leaders and religious leaders from all over the world gathered in Seoul for the first time in 2014.

It’s a YouTube shorts for less than a minute, so I recommend you watch it. I can feel the excitement wash over me.

In 2013, HWPL declared through the Declaration of World Peace that, to end wars and bring peace to the global community, a new international legal instrument was needed.

At the 2014 World Peace Summit, legal and political leaders from around the world signed an agreement with HWPL to work together on drafting such a document.

In just a year and a half, on 14 March 2016, the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) was proclaimed, and HWPL is actively committed to the introduction of the DPCW into international law.

Man hee Lee, the Chairman of HWPL, said “If you are a believer who truly desires for peace and loves this global community like his own body, religions must become one.
When religions become one, there will be no more war; and if there is no war, there will be peace.
Let’s all become one so we can make this global community into a world of peace.”

Man Hee Lee is a man who is showing the way to the path of peace. With a clear vision, many follow in his footsteps. With him and HWPL, peace will come soon enough.

Who can spread a culture of peace? IPYG Australia branch

What do you do when you wake up in the morning and throughout the day?
And how do each of those actions impact our humanity?

Most of the time, we live for ourselves, or we live for our family or significant other.

What would happen if we expanded our thinking a little further outward? IPYG Australia branch gave it a try.

Last December, the IPYG Australian branch collaborated with Community Friends organization in the Brisbane City to conduct volunteer activities providing free food and clothing to those in need at Bunyapa Park in West End, Brisbane City.

The IPYG Australian branch initiated volunteer work to disseminate a culture of peace to neighbors and marginalized individuals within the community.

During the recent volunteer activity, the IPYG Australian branch, alongside Community Friends, prepared food to distribute to the homeless and facilitated dialogue sessions to strengthen community networks for people with multi-national backgrounds to have social cohesion.

Why do IPYG Australia branch spread a culture of peace?

What is a culture of peace? Where did that phrase come from?

4. States should promote a culture of peace, including ensuring conditions in which-
(a) citizens are able to participate in the political affairs of the State as equals, regardless of religious or ethnic differences;
(e) the wellbeing of all human kind, with the participation of women and men, to ensure peaceful coexistence amongst Nations, States, and peoples may be guaranteed.

I only took (a) and (e) from Article 10 of the DPCW. I admire IPYG Australia for continuing to practice international law, the DPCW, as the answer to peace.

Re: 2014 HWPL World Peace Summit – 1

Recently, I’ve been re-motivated about peace. I’ve also been thinking about writing a peace novel. Don’t you think it would be fun?

So we felt it was time to take a look back at what HWPL has been up to since 2014. I also found a YouTube channel called HWPL Peace Magazine. I will be reviewing them one by one.

HWPL hosted the HWPL 918 World Peace Summit (HWPL WARPsummit) in 2014 with leaders in politics, religion, women’s groups, youth groups and the media in attendance.

HWPL and leaders of various sectors convened to discuss conflict resolution, establishing peace, and mutual cooperation and signed landmark agreements on building and implementing solid systems for cooperation.

The agreements covered implementing legal instruments to ensure peace, building religious harmony and creating peace activites by state actors and citizens, respectively.

The legal instruments became the DPCW (Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War) in 2016.

It’s so interesting to trace the past like this. It’s inspiring to see what they decided to do then, and how they realized it years later.

In fact, there’s a HWPL Press Conference that attracts a lot of reporters. The Chairman of HWPL, Man hee Lee, coolly answers the question. These days, reporters are increasingly curious, not aggressively snarky.

As I review each video, I hope you will feel the power of HWPL and become a messenger of peace.

DPCW 8th : Building the Minds of Peace!

What is the ‘building the minds of peace’?
The plant depends on what seeds you plant.

The world is a giant turf war, and ideologies are constantly reproduced.
Do I really think what I think? What percentage of my opinions are really mine?

The problem is that I don’t even know myself. We are influenced by so many things.

As conflicts around the world continue to escalate, a gathering of international peace experts in South Korea reiterated the importance of a culture of peace and the need for institutional peace.

HWPL’s 8th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW)

Since the DPCW was written and promulgated on March 14, 2016, HWPL has held an annual commemoration to realize the institutionalization of peace.

This year, experts from the fields of politics, law, religion, education, media, women, and youth from around the world participated online and offline. In particular, the 10,000 HWPL members who attended the ceremony followed the instructions and maintained order.

What is DPCW? Answer of Peace

The DPCW consists of 10 articles and 38 paragraphs, which were written by international law experts from 15 countries. The declaration covers principles and measures to prevent, resolve conflicts and build a peaceful international community, and it clearly lays out the roles of individuals, societies, and states in ending war.

“I traveled 31 times around the world and met with many religious and political figures to convey the need for peace,” said the Chairman Man-Hee Lee in his commemorative speech.
“Although there were differences, most of them were pure and always had good relationships. I traveled to every country and learned a lot,” he said.

“It is important for us to communicate with each other regardless of borders, race, and religion,” he said, emphasizing, “Let’s stop quarreling and fighting, do our duty as people, and cooperate with each other.”

“Legislate Peace” (LP) Project

The “Legislate Peace” (LP) project is a global initiative to support and advocate for the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) and its implementation at the international level.

The LP project started off as the Sign Your Support campaign, which was launched to promote the value of the DPCW as a solution for achieving global peace and urge different sectors of society to support this declaration.

The ceremony concluded with a colorful performance that depicted the journey of peace. The performances included a session that interpreted the contents of Article 10, paragraph 38 of the DPCW through performance, as well as a flowery paradise where peace is achieved.

Beyond Headlines: What is Peace Journalism?

On 17th February, the international peace organization, Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), hosted an online event with approximately 160 media persons from 49 countries in attendance.

This year, HWPL International Workshop on Peace Journalism marked the publication of its 2nd journal, ‘Peace Journalism Studies’, produced in cooperation with 9 journalists worldwide.

With the theme of “Media Perspective on Conflict Resolution,” this event aimed to sharing the ideas of peace journalism, bringing out collective voice of international network of media for peace.

Everyone has a role in life. Answers to Why are you alive? We live in a society, and each of us has a role to play.

What do you think is the role of a journalist?
I think of it as an informing role. To be unbiased, neutral, and objective in presenting the facts.

Among the contributors, 6 speakers delivered addresses on the role of media in building peace, peace-related issues, peace journalism and global security.

For more information, follow the link here. You’ll know what the speakers said. I was very impressed.

HWPL Peace Education with Greece

HWPL’s peace education is global. It is worth noting that it creates a change of thought that can achieve ‘peace’ by finding the commonalities of each country’s culture.

The textbook made by HWPL also contains information about Greece. In Peace Textbook 9 and Section 1-‘Courtesy of Parents,’ it is explained that loving and honoring parents beyond the differences of time, region, and culture is a universal value of all mankind.

In particular, it is emphasized that remembering and paying back the love and kindness given by parents is a characteristic that only humans have.

There is an ancient Greek anecdote about this filial piety. Greece is famous for having a strict culture of respect for the elderly and parents since ancient times.

For example, in ancient Delphi, people who did not take care of their parents were imprisoned.

In Athens, a person who neglected his or her parents was fined and some citizenship was deprived.

Greek proverbs such as “Old people’s words weigh heavily” and “Those who respect their parents never die” reflect a deep-rooted culture of respect for parents and the elderly.

As such, peace education by utilizing proverbs and examples of each country is a great advantage.

Georgia teacher said, “I loved the textbooks prepared for peace education,” adding, “It contains a variety of colors and various information and activities.” “HWPL’s peace education textbooks are made in a more understandable language considering the level of children and teenagers,” he said. “The HWPL peace education textbooks are also very important because they have clear guidelines on what teachers should do.”

After nine weeks of training, Georgia’s teachers took pride in HWPL peace education more than anyone else. “HWPL’s certificate of teacher training is now my pride,” she said.

In fact, students who received peace education also responded positively.

After receiving peace education, one student said, “I realized that I was special,” adding, “I have to be with people who are valuable and make me feel good about myself.”

“I think the Chairman Man hee Lee is an inspirational and charismatic person who can do anything to bring peace to the world,” Georgia teacher said. “I think HWPL is a great organization with great educational materials and plans and is ready to support every step of the way.”
