HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light) is an international peace NGO, registered with the United Nations and is now Special Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
In 2017, about 1,000,000 People are walking for peace in 106 Cities in 41 Countries. Unlike most peace organizations, the results of each year are considered great. They are trying to bring a new international law to the United Nations soon.
I brought up to top five videos that I have seen so far. 🙂
1. Media Facade 2019
It’s an art…
2. IPYG Card Section Performance 2019
3. Card Section of 12,126 People 2018
They are all volunteers. Is it possible?
4. 2018 HWPL World Peace Summit
Parades are also tremendously attractive, and the speeches of former presidents are touching. I definitely recommend seeing it.
5. Media Facade 2017
I think HWPL has the answer to peace. The power of HWPL is best represented by the slogan “We are one!” There is nothing we can’t do if we’re one mind to solve everything.
But the world is now so confused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). There is no one at street, everyone stays at home. Even WHO declared novel coronavirus disease a pandemic. (more than 121,000 cases in 118 countries)
At times like this, if we try for quarantine in one mind without blaming anyone without discrimination, we will all survive. 🙂
P.S my heartfelt condolences to all the families who lost loved ones…
World War 2 (1939-1945) : The most devastating war in human history
A child became a refugee by the terrible war.
Poor living conditions were hard to bear for the refugee boy, yet he felt desperate for peace. The boy lived in a town located in [dniester] River of the Soviet Border until the age of 50 under dictatorship. He saw and felt the fall of communism himself, and he became aware of the power of culture. He was in the process of settling the democratic conscious.
In 1996, the boy grew up to become the 3rd President of Romania. Emil Constantinescu became the President in order to achieve peace.
First, he devoted his efforts to bring reconciliation and harmony within the Balkan Peninsula suffering from conflicts of nation, religion and race. He was in the forefront of liberty and democracy of Romania. He has conducted Peace Education to spread peace. (In fact, he has done more work. More info 1, info 2)
+) He was the dean of Bucharest University. He spent 6 years of my life in [Bucharest] University and [other] University throughout the world.
Now, he is the chairperson of Institute for Cultural Diplomacy (ICD) which is the largest NGO in Europe. Also, he is a member of HWPL Advisory Council.
“HWPL is an international peace nonprofit organization registered with the United Nations Department of Public Information (DPI) and the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). It is surprising to the world with its enormous execution and actions no one has heard or seen.”
As of 2018, he is in the forefront to establish a culture of peace, calling for the cessation of war. Now, it is time to begin a new history of peace.
“The history of humanity was the history of war.
Now we need to make history of peace.” – Emil Constantinescu, former president of Romania
Emil Constantinescu 2018 Peace Lecture
HWPL PHOTO
On September 18, the two leaders of inter-Korea met in Pyongyang. To support the peaceful unification of the Korean Peninsula, H.E. Ivo Josipović, Former President of Croatia, and Hon. Emil Constantinescu, Former President of Romania, both of whom experienced times under Communist rule and the transition to democracy, gave presentations on September 16th and September 20th respectively. They gave specific advice through their real experience.
Below is posting #1.. I’m going to take a closer look.
Emil Constantinescu said his experience under dictatorship. “The establishment of communism in Eastern Europe has led to elimination of constructive competition, removal of free expression and emergence of an immoral form claiming to be a society where ideology replaces feelings.”
“A dictatorship that would only recognize state and collective ownership canceled all forms of rights, free expression and [personal life] of every citizen by political police surveillance.”
The mean of implementation of communism in Eastern Europe is the violence. He told us so vividly. “The result of implementation of communism in Eastern Europe by violent mean, and bloody repression of anti-communist resistance.”
He continued “The removal of actual potential ordinance was achieved through torture and re-education centers, extermination prisons, forced labor camps, political assassinations, summary executions, mass importations.
Millions of death, tens of millions of human life destroyed.
When oppression, censorship, terror seem to ensure a small future for communism, the resulting hardship turned into true pathology of freedom thus building solid characters able to tear apart the status quo.”
First democratic presidents
in Eastern Europe

He continued “After the peaceful, peaceful change of the totalitarian regime in Eastern Europe, the first democratic presidents freely elected by the people were representative of the intellectual elite.
Coming from academic [unintelligible] was very strange for the political history of the world. And remember, the famous first democratic president of [unintelligible].
The first president of Hungary was the president of a writers union. The first president of democratic Bulgaria was a philosopher who graduated from Sofia university.
The first democratic president of Luthania, Vytautas Landsbergis, was the president of the Academy of Music.
The first democratic president of Estonia was also the president of the Academy of Music, and the second president of Estonia was the director and president of the University of Agriculture and was of special family, because this member of academic [unintelligible], of intellectual elite was not interested in corruption, their interests or their family; they worked for their country and for their people, and for changing Europe, changing the world.”
Struggle Lesson of Sufferings
At cost of thousands lives, they can earn struggle lessons. Emil said “The citizens of the formal communist countries have been deprived of all their rights including their right to live for half a century. They are suffering and struggle lesson is for each of us a first step towards understanding the greater lesson of freedom and respecting each other’s freedom.
The amiliation of the democratic conscious needs more time of democratic lows or institutions.”
He gave a very moving anecdote. (I was the most impressed with this part) “In December 1989, in my country, Romania, young people would demonstrated against the communist dictatorship in the university square in Bucharest.
“Did no ask for bread or for higher wages. They voiced free elections, freedom of the press, freedom we love you, we die for you,
and we will die and we be free.” – Emil Constantinescu, former president of Romania
My son, my daughter, my students was at that time in university square in Bucharest. At midnight, the repression troops went in with tanks against the unarmored demonstration who did not threaten any governmental institution but offered flowers to the militaries.
Dozen of people were killed and thousands were arrested and tortured. Those arrested would have be killed too, as is happened five days prior in other university town, Timisoara, in Romania. It not half a million of Bucharest citizens would surround the next day’s tanks, and the symbol of communist regime, the incredible lack of fear, and the solidarity of people for the dictator to free, and freedom was gained.
And in one of history’s bright moments, people were willing to die for the ideas, ideas of freedom and democracy.”
Finally, I am very grateful to Emil Constantinescu for letting me hear and think about many things. Now, I must be a person who does one thing. Will you join us?
Do you know why people say ‘Mr.Man Hee Lee is a messenger of peace’? Because he has the definite answer to peace. He is a Korean War veteran, knows the horrors of war than a person ever knew. In his biography, “I struggled to survive. The sounds of guns, cannons, jets, and bombs did not stop for one second. The heavens, the earth, and my heart trembled, and the sky was filled with smoke.” So the Chairman Lee is running really hard for Peace on the Korean Peninsula. Also, he is the chairman of Heavenly Culture, World Peace and Restoration of Light (HWPL). HWPL is an international peace nonprofit organization registered with the United Nations Department of Public Information (DPI) and the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). I will tell you the coolest Man Hee Lee Quotes.
“When the light of heaven shines in the hearts of people, it becomes the light that never fades away.” – the Chairman Man hee Lee
Man Hee Lee Peace Quotes
In 2018 HWPL World Peace WARP Summit, Mr. Man Hee Lee said strongly “Now is the time for the leaders of the two Koreas to join hands and declare peace. Also, it is a critical time for the global community to return to its original state, which is a world of peace.”
He then continued, “In order for Korea to become a nation of peace and for the world to move towards world peace, we need a legally binding instrument (DPCW) that will end war at its source,” calling for everyone to work together to bring peace on the Korean Peninsula and end war around the world as soon as possible.
Man Hee Lee Quotes
Chairman Lee, a Korean War veteran, shared his sorrowful experiences of war and encouraged the youth participants. “If I am to say the purpose of the foundation of HWPL, I would say it was founded for the youthof the world. I constantly think of the scenes during the war that took place a long time ago and I thought and still question are we really going to hand down this world that is oppressed and full of injustice to our future generations? No. We must create the world where there is no more tears and sighs. Who can do that job? It’s you, the youth who have the power and knowledge to protect yourselves by joining IPYG’s peace activities. I believe that all youth can become one together for peace. We are one!”
5th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace is starting! I’m here! I’ve been looking forward to this moment. Its title is ‘Resolving Conflicts and Spreading a Culture of Peace through the DPCW: Realizing Peace on the Korean Peninsula’. As you know expectations for peace on the Korean Peninsula have been rising since The Panmunjom Declaration for Peace, Prosperity and Unification of the Korean Peninsula at 2018 inter-Korean summit. Young people, from 84cities in 50 countries, cry out for peace with one voice. The vigor of the site can only be felt directly.
TOGETHER FOR A NEW START, TOGETHER FOR PEACE
Why 5th Peace Walk is Different
As the international community is paying keen attention to the establishment of peace on the Korean Peninsula like the 2018 inter-Korean summit and the Korea-U.S. summit, HWPL has called for the realization of peace on the Korean Peninsula based on the civil society’s network, including youth and women throughout the world.
In particular, in conflict areas such as Iraq, Palestine and Afghanistan, young people and citizens is holding a peace walk with an earnest will to realize peace amid terrorism and war.
The Declaration of world peace, which was proclaimed on May 25, 2013 by HWPL, has called for the youth of the world to become the messenger of peace. Also, it suggests that we need the international law (DPCW) that can end the war. Why youth? The youth is the biggest victims of the war.
Why did the War take place?
Wars of mankind : total 14,513 times.
Reason of War: 80% Religious war
Victims of War : 3.7 billion
Nobel Peace prize rewarded : 124 times
How long should we wait? We can’t stand it anymore. It is so hard and painful. My family and friends are dying. Who can compensate you for their death? To Whom? What can you do? Money never can pay it back. Nothing can repay this!
HWPL’s Solutions : The Answer of Peace
Peace Letter to Presidents
Young people, from 84cities in 50 countries, write peace letters to presidents of each country. How long? Until the president writes signature atDPCW! The wind of peace is already blowing all over the world. ‘World peace and restoration has begun at the same time this declaration is proclaimed.’, the Declaration of world peace. If 4,600,000 young people (IPYG) cry out for peace, what do you think will happen next? There will be an enormous wind.
DPCW is the ultimate solution
The current international law is open to war if necessary. This will not end the war. The only way for peace is DPCW. Chairman Lee proclaimed “HWPL has made peace agreements with present and former presidents and heads of state, chiefs justices of Supreme courts, university presidents, religious leaders, and the heads of international organizations, and this news has been broadcasted all around the world. The cessation of war and world peace will become a reality because everyone desires for peace rather than war” and finally “We have the answer to peace which is the DPCW.” I’m sure it will cure the world more beautifully. DPCW is the solution!!! Let’s become the messengers of peace!
Where are DPCW now?
In May 25, 2013 The Declaration of World Peace was proclaimed.
In Sep 16-19, 2014 World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit

HWPL‘s Legislate Peace Campaign is spreading out around the globe. How many? 630 events being held in 176 countries with over 1 million participants. #LegislatePeaceThe purpose of HWPL is to end WAR.

[D-DAY] 5th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace
2nd Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW)
“A Call for Building a World of Peace and Realizing Justice“
On March 14, 2018, I sat at a quiet cafe and watched ‘2nd DPCW’ live broadcast in Australia. The sky was so clear today. Maybe you don’t know, now I’m studying abroad in Australia. I’m from Korea. Unlike Korea, here seems to be more relaxing. ‘Did I come this far and learn all the things to learn?’ ‘Why am I here?’ On these thoughts, I heard the news from HWPL. Today is the 2nd Annual Commemoration of the DPCW. I know a lot of peace groups, but I don’t believe any one. Because they are only saying about peace, not moving. But I can’t help putting my trust in HWPL. We can know them by their walking. This time, we check more about this commemoration.

Messengers of Peace are crying out
“Rather than waiting to take peace for granted, it is we who should put an end to war to protect humanity and our globe, and leave peace as a legacy for future generations,” said Mr. Man Hee Lee, Chairman of HWPL. “Laws of todaycannotcompensate for the lives sacrificed from war. What we need is an instrument that protects human life, the very law that prevents war,” said Lee.
Mr. Pravin H. Parekh, President of Confederation of Indian Bar, who participated in drafting the DPCW said, “No human being and no animal on planet Earth can survive from weapons (of mass destruction). Even an error or an accident can cause widespread, irreparable damage to human life and property. We all have to work 365 days and 24 hours together for peace as a messenger of peace.”
“We urge all those yearning for peace and justice to take the right path, not the path marked with lies, and join the effort to build peace together.” – Chairman Lee of HWPL
