What is this abbreviation about? Maybe, you haven’t heard ever it. But it is truly nessary to know about this, if you want to be a peace maker.
HWPL, a non-governmental organization, is associated with the UN Department of Global Communications (DGC) and in Special Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
HWPL aims to achieve world peace through the heavenly culture and restore the global community with light across the world.
Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) has led initiatives that propose multidimensional strategies inclusive of governments, intergovernmental organizations, and civil society in the efforts for implementing conflict resolution and establishing peace.
HWPL is leading an international peace movement with leaders in all walks of life without being limited by national, cultural, or ideological boundaries.
What is the value of journalists?
HWPL always holds press conferences when it does 918 events. Why is that?
As mentioned above, HWPL is really aware of the value of the role of journalists.
The ability of journalists seems to be in writing. With the power of powerful writing, something intangible is embodied.
If you want to experience the power, you should listen to the press conference for yourself. If you analyze every word, it feels deeper. 🙂
Press Conference for the 9th Anniversary of the September 18th HWPL World Peace Summit
HWPL World Peace Summit, a festival for the family of peace, is a time to witness achievements made for peace and to commit to the work of peace that needs to be done in the future.
At the September 18th, 2014, HWPL World Peace Summit was held. Around 200,000 participants gathered.
The implementation of international law for peace and achievement of religious harmony was proposed as the solution to build a peaceful world.
At the 4th annual commemoration of the HWPL World Peace Summit held in 2018, MOAs and MOUs were signed with many international organizations, including five ministries of education and major media agencies in 12 countries.
To spread a culture of peace, through 30 world peace tours visiting 71 countries, heads of state, prime ministers, chief justices and religious leaders became a part of HWPL peace advisory council and journalists around the world became HWPL publicity ambassadors taking the lead to publicize hwpl’s peace activities.
As a result of the efforts to resolve the conflict in Mindanao, philippines, January 24th, Mindanao peace agreement day was declared.
Also, HWPL days such as declaration of world peace day and September 18th world alliance of religions day were designated.
The efforts to remember and commemorate peace are being achieved through HWPL peace museum library and peace park.
HWPL is making efforts with the world to cease wars and to leave a world of peace as a legacy to the future generations.
The peace movement of HWPL, joined by all people around the world, will change the future of mankind.
For a new era of eternal prosperity that everyone has dreamed of, we will follow the path of peace together with HWPL.
The Central American Parliament and the PAP(Pan African Parliament) passed a resolution in support of the DPCW.
The legislative body of the african union consisting of 55 african countries signed an MOU with HWPL supporting the DPCW.
Furthermore, various european political leaders and experts in the fields of education and law support the peaceful unification of the korean peninsula, which is a symbolic measure to cease wars and achieve peace.
They are carrying out various activities as the advisory council.
Currently advocacy activities supporting the implementation of the DPCW such as legislate peace campaign and peace letter campaign are being carried out around the world by the civil society.
In the fields of politics, education, religion, media, youth and women’s organizations, people around the world are becoming one with HWPL and establishing a peace network.
Religious leaders are taking the lead in building peace and ceasing conflicts via 250 HWPL WARP offices in 128 countries.
Peace education awakens students’ recognition of the value of living as a citizen on this earth.
In the era of peace, HWPL peace education curriculum is being introduced not only to the educational institutions but also at the governmental level.
Through peace education our children will grow as peace messengers and protect a ever-lasting peace in the world.
This is the latest official HWPL video released 10 months ago. I want to summarize again and organize my thoughts after a long time.
What is HWPL to me? What is peace to you?
What is the percentage of peace in 24 hours a day?
To me, the meaning of HWPL seems like a kind of engine that makes me not stop. The engine is in a car, and I think our heart is a kind of engine.
The engine is the driving force that emits a strong force so that the car can move. If we don’t spew enormous amounts of blood from our hearts moment by moment, humans will collapse like dolls with broken threads.
I can’t even type on the keyboard right now. You can’t even eat. You can’t even work hard in a day.
I think peace is really important to anyone. Because safety is the basis of every life. We can’t enjoy our hobbies if it’s not safe. You can’t even surf.
You can’t eat delicious dinner with your lover. Because we could die soon. If there is no peace.
The HWPL is an organization that does a powerful job of peace. So I really like it. Even if no one recognizes them, they move with all their might. It’s really cool.
I support their move. Maybe forever.
True Story of HWPL
With the proclamation of the declaration of world peace, on May 25th 2013 HWPL, the chairman Man Hee Lee, an NGO associated with the UN ECOSOC was established to create a world of peace, free of wars.
HWPL is carrying out peace initiatives in 170 countries around the world.
HWPL aims to develop a legal instrument that will ensure peace in the world so that people can live in harmony transcending borders, race and religion.
On March 14th 2016 the 10 articles and 38 clauses of the declaration of peace and cessation of war was proclaimed.
In May 2018 HWPL introduced the DPCW to the UN. You can see the Chairman Lee Man-hee shouting strongly. I really admire his strong motivational abilities. He really is a man who can make peace.
Permanent representatives of 145 countries receiving the support from the international community the DPCW will be submitted to the UN in the form of a draft resolution.
Specifically, the governments of eswatini, seychelles, kamoros and antigua and Barbuda declared their official support for the DPCW.
I recommend watching the video in person! I’ll call it a day.
I’ll be back for review part 2 next time! Until then, I hope you think deeply about peace!
Do you know a peace documentary? There are still quite a few people in the world who seek peace.
I really admire them. Because they endure things that are difficult for others to pursue easily. I think it’s more noble.
The peace documentary was very touching. As if it were not easy to see plants grow, I felt like I was watching peace bloom like a flower right next to me.
It’s a breakthrough in ending the 50-year bloody conflict in Mindanao, the Philippines
A procession of 10,000 people who filled a total distance of 19.9km is shouting.
Has the peace that men and women of all ages desperately shouted for come?
Mindanao Island in the southern Philippines.
The land where death was closer to life than to say, “When peace comes to Mindanao, world peace comes.”
The armed conflict between the Philippine government and Mindanao militants, which began with the “Massacre in Morocco” in the 1960s, has turned into a confrontation between Catholic and Islamic religions, killing 120,000 people over the past 50 years.
The peace documentary “The Great Legacy” captures the end of the conflict through HWPL’s movement that began in 2014 in Mindanao, Philippines.
In particular, the Philippine locals, who melted the weapons used in the civil war to create an HWPL peace monument and wished for peace on the divided Korean Peninsula, resonated with the hearts of the audience and applauded.
The film highlights the HWPL civilian peace agreement ceremony held in Mindanao General Santos City, Philippines on January 24, 2014.
The Chairman Lee Man-hee brought together leaders and locals from both sides who were at the center of the Mindanao conflict. He asked them to raise their hands if they wanted peace, and when all the participants raised their hands, Lee led the two leaders to sign for peace.
Upon hearing the news of the peace agreement, government forces and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) finally agreed on the final annex of the preliminary peace agreement on January 25, and the civil war was effectively ended with the signing of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) in March 2014.
The Chairman Lee Man-hee said “We are a family of peace that will achieve peace born in this era. Do you want conflict or peace?”
All people shouted “PEACE!”
HWPL’s sincere efforts and the Chairman Lee’s sincerity made a dramatic peace, which was considered a challenge that could never be solved.
It’s a dangerous place for terrorism and accidental danger. The situation in the Philippines is not easy to push ahead with work among soldiers with guns. Even in such a place, not everyone can risk death to enter. I was really touched by this.
One field participant said, “The first overseas volunteer destination I went to was the Philippines, and I personally found it fascinating to see the first scene people cheering. Since our country is a divided country, we should be more interested in peace than anyone else.
But I really felt that Filipinos are more interested in peace activities than anyone else. After watching this preview, I felt that peace was really coming, so I thought about various activities, including small things and talking about joining together.”
The miracle of peace achieved by everyone being united is recorded as a “great legacy” in later generations. I hope we can all be messengers of peace.
I’ve often thought about wanting to draw with a pad, but I put it into practice in 5 months!
‘World Peace Gate’ in Seoul Olympic Park.
I copied this! Actually, anyone can do it. Because you can just draw it on top of it!
I started drawing because I didn’t want to forget this moment of peace. People forget too easily. I don’t remember who I met a month ago and what I had for lunch a week ago.
I think I am now participating in the process of achieving great peace. Something seems to be taking part in a huge flow.
Do you know what Alfred Adler calls a sense of community? It’s like I feel it.
And thank you HWPL for making me feel it. If I do the smallest things I can do, there will be enormous peace.
DPCW Key-ring
I also drew a dpcw key ring. It was a little difficult but fun.
“GREAT LEGACY” A Peace Documentary | Official Trailer
00:00 ~ 00:43 tragedy of war
More than 60,000 soldiers were killed and 5,000 civilians were killed in the recent war. Does the death of soldiers mean enough to the death of civilians?
Was their sacrifice worth it? Who was the sacrifice, and what was the death for what?
There have been countless wars in human history. What did the father and mother think after sending their sons to war?
The Chairman Lee Man-hee is written on the picket.
It often appears as a subject in movies. There has never been a movie in which their deaths were not sad. And the sadness is entirely up to the comrades and their families.
From 43 seconds of the video, there is a tremendous scene.
00:43 ~ 1:37 Countless people shout the end of the war
It is an unprecedented story in the history of Philippines. Aren’t there so many people standing on the street? To be honest, I was very surprised.
There are so many people who want peace! What were they told to come out on the street? What kind of expectations?
The documentary will show the story of 2054 days in Mindanao, where the war was stopped and peace was realized.
This is a record of HWPL and the Chairman Lee Man-hee’s movement.
Why is it a great legacy? There’s an answer from what CEO Lee Man-hee said. Let me know in the comments if you found it.
I haven’t watched the main episode yet, but I’m looking forward to it! I can’t wait to see it and post a review. I really want you to see it, too.
Is your hobby walking? A person who walks more than 30 minutes a day is definitely more likely to be healthy. It can absorb vitamin D, makes you feel much better, and helps with blood circulation.
I think each person has a different reason to walk. Someone walks for health, someone for enlightenment, and someone to shake off negative emotions.
There are people walking for peace right here. As one of the peace lovers, I’m also walking, pondering why they walk.
On May 25 this year, people started walking offline again. I’ve been interested in the people of hwpl for a long time, they proceeded online during the COVID-19.
I’ve seen countless people in Santiago walking for their own enlightenment, someone for sightseeing. But many of the people walking for peace seem to be hwpl people.
HWPL’s 10th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace and the Peace Walk
There are so many pictures of them on the blog so far. Sometimes when I look back at the gallery, it’s even touching.
Why on earth do they walk? What drives them?
Why do people in HWPL get together especially more often? I think it is because there is a centripetal force that strongly gathers them.
I think it is because there is the chairman Lee Man-hee, a soldier who experienced the Korean War and shouted for peace while touring around the world more than 30 times, and he tries to achieve peace without a break even at the age of 90.
If someone like the chairman lee man-hee takes the lead, can you stay still? How passionate he is!
If you have a chance someday, I hope you listen to him. There is a powerful force in what he says.
HWPL’s 10th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace and the Peace Walk
Subtitle: New Decade, Making Institutional Peace Take Root Date: May, 25, 2023, 10:00AM (GMT+9)
You can hear it here. I think it is best to experience peace in person. If you don’t experience it in a small moment in your daily life, I think you can never achieve the peace that is ideally expressed.
On the same day, various areas in the Philippines held simultaneous events in partner schools and communities particularly in Cavite, Laguna, Lucban, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija and Cotabato City.
What do you think is a peace walk? “HWPL’s 10th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace and the Peace Walk” is organized in 89 locations across 59 countries in May.
When do we think of peace in our daily lives? I get up in the morning, do morning routines, and have a simple breakfast. When I go to work and take care of my backlog, lunch time is approaching.
After saying anything with my colleagues, I work again in the afternoon. I have a dinner appointment, so I enjoy my meal, go to the gym, or run in the park. I come back home, read, do night routine, and then go to sleep.
There is no room for peace here. Isn’t this our daily life? Shouldn’t we need a way to make peace even a little bit once a year, once every six months, even once a month?
In that way, peace events and peace walking are really great ways!
525 Peace Walk has begun!
the Peace Gate of Seoul Olympic Park in South Korea
On May 25, 5,000 participants were gathered at the Peace Gate of Seoul Olympic Park in South Korea, and other thousands of individuals around the world, including France, the United States, China, Japan, Australia, and Germany, are expected to join the events until the end of this month.
What is peace? I don’t think it’s a bad idea to take a descriptive test. Like Baccalaureate in France!
Baccalaureate can describe his thoughts on important human problems for hours. The whole nation is interested in this year’s problems and there is a culture of expressing their opinions.
In the event, the “Joint Statement of the 10th Anniversary of the Declaration of World Peace” was unveiled.
The statement said that the Declaration developed into the “Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War” (DPCW) to pursue “a transition from the rule of power to the rule of law” based on principles of “democracy, justice, civil liberties and equality, religious freedom and responsibility.”
Through the joint statement, HWPL and participating organizations affirmed their commitment to institutionalizing peace through international cooperation, aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 16 “Peace, justice and strong institutions.”
I’m also very interested in SDGs! Isn’t it so cool? The sight of humanity working together to achieve their goals!
Actually, there are many shortcomings in reality, but I think it would be good if we put our hearts together and work together! How can we do that? It’s definitely possible if we all make up our minds.
This time, design props came out! I got it when I participated in the SNS event.
The Power of Restarted Offline Walking
This time, design props came out! I got it when I participated in the SNS event.
Recalling HWPL’s peace activities for the past 10 years, Chairman Lee Man-hee said, “Since we pledged to work together for world peace 10 years ago, we have been calling for peace all over the world. We have advocated that peace should be taught at home and at school, and that everyone should become messengers of peace. I went to the battlefield in Mindanao, Philippines to raise the voice of peace and we were promised not to begin war again.”
He also emphasized, “Everyone should be one under the title of peace and work together to create a good world and make it a legacy for future generations. This is what we need to do in this era in which we live.”
Since then, numerous speakers have attended and various events have been held, so I’ll post a YouTube link! I hope you can see it.
Since the pandemic, the peace walk, which has been conducted only online to comply with each country’s quarantine guidelines, will be held offline again.
HWPL’s 10th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace and the Peace Walk
Subtitle : New Decade, Making Institutional Peace Take Root
On May 25, you will be able to see a march of peaceful walking in major cities around the world, shouting “Legislate Peace (LP).”
In order to achieve the goal of “establishing a peace system,” the HWPL will continue to promote DPCW’s resolution to the UN General Assembly, implement peace education through governments and official institutions, regular communication channels to promote understanding and resolve conflicts between religions.
