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.

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

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.

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.

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

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.

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.

8th 918 HWPL World Peace Summit: peace as an Institution

In fact, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time.

Why should we seek peace?
Human nature is often far from peace..

Nevertheless, why should we not give up..? Why should it be?

In fact, I expressed it as a long time, but the moment to think about it is very short. It’s a really short moment.. Do you know the answer?

Nevertheless, would we say it’s a value that we should keep?
Is it a key value that a person can remain a person?

That’s true. There are quite a few people who have given up as human beings. Who can determine human qualifications?
Does the standard value exist?

I think a lot of things are connected. The agony of peace coincides with spiritual anguish, and our lives are connected to those of people on the other side of the world.

So I love that shout. “We Are One!!”
And I like people who risk their lives to keep the peace even if they don’t gain anything. I love them.

But I’m busy with a lot of work to make ends meet. So on the other hand, I’m sorry, but I’m trying to help them somehow.
So I write like this. How do you live? I’m curious.

Below is a video that I really want to introduce to you. If you want to feel the culture of peace, please watch it. 🙂

#918WorldPeaceSummit #DPCW

On September 18th, the 8th Anniversary of the September 18th HWPL World Peace Summit was held online with the theme of ‘Peace as an Institution: A Foundation for Sustainable Development’.

HWPL has proposed peace as an institution to resolve the above global threats. The main goal is to weave the values of peace into our social fabric, allowing mutual respect, harmony, cooperation, and co-prosperity.

HWPL’s vision for peace as an institution goes beyond temporary measures to cease conflict actions and pursues peace incorporated into laws, values, and cultures.

Regarding the cause of peacebuilding at the global level, Chairman Man Hee Lee of HWPL said, “The global village has suffered from the unexpected COVID-19 that has hit every country. People are not alone in the midst of difficulties.”

“We live in the same global village, and we are neighbors and families. Each one of us is the one who are obliged to make our world a better place to live. And shouldn’t we pass on our good world to our descendants?”

Mr. Chung Young-min, General Director of the IPYG emphasized the role of youth as the main player of international action for peace by saying that education programs for 1,500 global youth in 59 countries are hosted to “protect the basic rights of youth around the world so that everyone can live a happy life without being left behind.”

I want you to play an important role in peace.

6th DPCW | Can peace ever be achieved?

Can peace be realized?
Can the war stop?
Can death and pain disappear?

If people could not be selfish, could there be war?

In fact, peace is never an easy problem. However, there are people who constantly strive for peace. It is my favorite peace organization HWPL.

HWPL’s 6th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) will be held online on 14 March 2022.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE 6th DPCW | Can peace ever be achieved? Peace man hee lee dpcw LeeManHee IPYG EndWar DPCW 6thAnniversary_314DPCW 6th DPCW — #HWPL #DPCW #6thAnniversary_314DPCW #EndWar #Peace #LeeManHee

At this year’s commemoration, under the theme, Institutionalizing Peace: Building a Legal Foundation for Sustainable Peace, HWPL spotlights institutionalization as a foundation to make peace take root and develop.

What is the most realistic and best way to achieve peace?

I couldn’t believe anything in the meantime. That would be the same for you guys. But I realized after seeing the HWPL method.

Since the proclamation of the DPCW, the citizen-led peace project Legislate Peace captured HWPL’s efforts to expand and strengthen the global alliance for peace.

HWPL sets out to draw the blueprint for peace as an institution, which will serve as the cornerstone for the era of peace.

Which of the citizens is most affected by war?

International organizations such as the UN, the African Union (AU), and the EU have recently stressed normative guidance as a standard to set the course for substantial conflict resolution and peace.

Notably, it is recommended that women and youth participate in discussions on peace so that the concerns of the citizens afflicted by conflict are not overlooked.

This is also related to the two wings of HWPL, IWPG and IPYG. Why are they? This is because young people and women are the biggest victims of the war… Who can pay back their lives..?

What is the spirit of the DPCW?

DPCW from Articles 1 to 7 reaffirms the conventional international law and norms for peace order that run current in the international community, including friendly relations, use of force, conflict resolution by international law.

In addition, in Articles 8 to 10, the DPCW suggests an evolved approach to peaceful resolution in response to evolved conflicts.

The spirit of the DPCW recognizes citizens as the main actor of peacebuilding and points to a transition from the rule of power to the governing by law for harmony, fairness, and justice.

2021 HWPL Virtual Conference “A New Normal for Sustainable Peace”

On September 24, 2021 – Heavenly Culture World Peace Restoration of Light (HWPL) held a virtual conference titled “A New Normal for Sustainable Peace.”

According to this article, participants discussed how HWPL has contributed to peace in the Caribbean region and collected best practices for future initiatives.

The names of the 14 notable people are written in the article, so go take a look. Many people are trying for peace.

It seems that there are no such people around us, but people who want peace are connected anywhere in the world. Like a network of lights!

HWPL is not people who stay still. Because of our great unity, we are stronger than anyone else because we are firmly united. Soon a huge snowball will roll. It will create a big wind in the world!

The Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW), which is presented as the answer to peace, remains a strong solution.

The DPCW has already been enacted as a National Declaration in several countries worldwide, including Antigua and Barbuda, Seychelles, and Eswatini, and international organizations such as the Central American Parliament.

I hope you can be the light of peace!

Man Hee Lee Quotes: 7th HWPL World Peace Summit

The replay link has come out! I think there is only one key point. That we are one! Why should we be one?

The reason why we don’t know the reason is that we’ve never been one. But I realized what it was to be one by watching HWPL’s events every year.

Is it realistic to think about the real possibility of peace? No.
We have the power to make it a reality. Its power is youth and women.

And there is the Chairman Man Hee Lee, who leads all of them at the center.
I want to introduce his quotes.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Man Hee Lee Quotes: 7th HWPL World Peace Summit WARPsummit_7th Replay Peace manheelee peace quotes Manheelee DPCW 918 WARP Summit 2021 HWPL World Peace Summit

“Due to the emergence of COVID-19, the world is going through a very difficult time. Dear members of HWPL, with not a single person left behind, let us strive together to reach the destination we all hoped to arrive at.”

“What is our purpose? It is to bring wars to an end and build a peaceful world to pass it down as a lasting legacy for our future generations. To this end, I have gone on 31 tours across the globe.”

“What you had said is still vivid in my mind and alive. Until the day our goal is reached, let us not change. What do we always say? We say, ‘We are one.’ We are one.”

“To bring peace and cessation of war to the world, I transcended nationality, ethnicity, and religion while visiting various countries, and you have welcomed this humble person with gracious hospitality. What did those meetings boil down to? It showed that we are one.”

“What is the purpose embodied in this slogan, “We are one”? It is to end all wars and to make a peaceful world to leave it as a lasting legacy for future generations. With such determination and goal, we have met, and I went on global tours again and again for this.”

“We will do so by being one in heart and mind. When I visited your countries, what did we promise? We promised to be one, with “We are one,” and pledged to jointly achieve peace.”

“So we should not just sit on our hands and look on at the world. We need to achieve our goal. This will not change. Then, who will do this work? It is us, the family of HWPL. This is also our mission, and there is nothing greater than this.”

“Everyone, in this world, people value things such as wealth and power, but what is more valuable is a peaceful, warless world. Without peace, anything we build will be destroyed in the end. This is why all of us need to cooperate and achieve peace in one heart.”
