I wrote about the 2023 Global Peace Leaders’ Conference last year, and while there wasn’t a lot of content last year, I’m looking forward to more this year. Because there were some things that were secret. I can’t wait to see it live on YouTube this year!

It’s a so cute video. In fact, one of the most powerful peace leaders I know is the Chairman Man Hee Lee. His powerful visionary speech moves many young men and women. I was also greatly motivated by his words. I can’t wait to see what he has to say this year.

The international peace NGO, Heavenly Culture World Peace Restoration of Light (HWPL), led by Chairman Man-hee Lee, first held the HWPL World Peace Summit in Seoul back in 2014. Over 1,000 leaders from political, religious, women, and youth sectors, along with journalists from about 140 countries, attended to discuss dispute resolution, religious harmony, and establishing legal mechanisms for sustainable peace. 🗣️📜

Chairman Lee’s powerful words still resonate: “So many young people were sacrificed due to war. But for whom? How long must this continue?” He emphasized that peace cannot be achieved just by talks and urged everyone to leave a legacy of peace for future generations. 🌟🕊️

This 10th-anniversary commemoration aims to review past peace projects, outline future plans, and build networks to establish peace strategies tailored to regional characteristics. An HWPL official highlighted the importance of strengthening regional networks for a quick and active response to peace-threatening forces. 🌐🤝

HWPL Offical Video Review 1

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.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE HWPL Offical Video Review 1 UN ECOSOC UN DGC Seychelles Man Hee Lee biography kamoros hwpl man hee lee eSwatini DPCW Law for Peace Barbuda antigua

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.

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.

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.

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!

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

“GREAT LEGACY” Peace Documentary Trailer Review

“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?

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE "GREAT LEGACY" Peace Documentary Trailer Review Philippine Mindanao Peacebuilding Peace documentary Man Hee Lee biography Great Legacy
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.

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

There are still people walking for peace. What is their motive?

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.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE There are still people walking for peace. What is their motive? manheelee peace leader Man Hee Lee biography hwpl peace walk #525_peacewalk

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.

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?
A STEP TOWARDS PEACE There are still people walking for peace. What is their motive? manheelee peace leader Man Hee Lee biography hwpl peace walk #525_peacewalk

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

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.

HWPL Peace Education in Ethiopia

Is Ethiopia peaceful?

Compared with many African countries, Ethiopia is remarkably safe – most of the time. Serious or violent crime is rare; against travellers it’s extremely rare. Outside the capital, the risk of petty crime drops still further. The new Prime Minister was Abiy Ahmed, 2019 Nobel Peace Prize Winner, who made a historic visit to Eritrea in 2018, ending the state of conflict between the countries.

Ethiopia is a melting pot country, enriched in diverse cultures, peoples, and religions. However, such diversity sparked many conflicts in history, some of which are ongoing. These conflicts have stripped the country and people apart emotionally, and the Ethiopian government is actively working to peacefully resolve them for the better future of the country.

In December, the professors and students at Kotebe Metropolitan University participated at the ‘Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) Peace Education’ sessions which are also joined by 214 schools in 36 countries.

To bring the peaceful reconciliation in the country, the Ministry of Education in Ethiopia and 9 other states had previously signed MOA with HWPL to implement HWPL’s Peace Education. The curriculum is designed to empower citizens to properly recognize the value of peace and take the pioneering role of spreading the culture of peace.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE HWPL Peace Education in Ethiopia Peace education Man Hee Lee biography Kotebe Metropolitan University HWPL Peace education Ethiopian Prime Minister Ethiopia DPCW Addis Ababa Abiy Ahmed 2019 Nobel Peace Prize Winner

After signing MOA with HWPL, the Ministry of Higher Education in Ethiopia is currently reviewing the ‘HWPL Peace Education’ to incorporate and implement it as formal curriculum in all the universities. Addis Ababa School of Science and Technology (AASTU) also held the peace education sessions right after the Kotebe Metropolitan University.

A student who participated at the peace education said, “I learned why peace education is important for resolving conflicts in Ethiopia. It taught me to act as a messenger of peace. It is also important to present 10 Articles and 38 Clauses of the DPCW to the UN to fundamentally eradicate war and conflicts. To this end, we must continue to participate in peace education.”

Mali Parliament seeks a Path to Peace

Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita recently said that his government was ready to hold talks with the main jihadist leaders in the country. (VoA)

“Why not try to contact those who we know are pulling the strings,” Keita told French media last week. “The number of deaths in the Sahel is becoming exponential. It’s time for certain avenues to be explored.”

The United Nations reported that the number of children killed in the conflict in the first six months of 2019 was twice as many for the entire year of 2018. Many of the children have been killed in inter communal attacks attributed to ethnic militias, with the majority of attacks occurring around Mopti.

A day ago, at least three Mali soldiers were killed and five wounded Sunday in a suspected jihadist attack. Also, other recent conflicts in West Africa caused several casualties.

Since this is a place where people know the importance of peace, there are also many people who seek the path to peace.

At the Mali parliament, 25 congressmen and 4 national executive officials gathered for the proclamation ceremony for the ‘Network of Parliamentarians for the Culture of Peace and the Cessation of Wars’. This meeting, held on December 21, 2019, was held to discuss spreading the culture of peace, eliminating unnecessary sacrifices caused by internal conflict and terrorism in Mali.

Aurora Celestin, the representative of HWPL France Branch, introduced the Global Declaration of Peace and Cessation of war (DPCW) as a solution to Mali’s existing conflict and poverty. As a result, the congressmen stressed that “DPCW is a legal document that is much needed in Mali” and that “the president, senior government officials and other congressmen will actively implement the contents of the DPCW in their country.”

Especially, Diarra Moussa, a member of the Parliament and the Presider of the meeting said, “Many are working for peace in Mali and there are many laws. However, implementation of the law had always been the problem. Therefore, there needs to be a solution like the DPCW to spread the culture of peace where people start to abide by the laws.”

Kane Babba Hama Sidy, a member of the Mali Parliament, who signed the DPCW Support Letter said, “It is the right time to establish this network, bearing in mind the current situation of Mali. It is time to work for peace,” emphasizing the act of spreading the culture of peace through DPCW.

If we try, we will surely be able to achieve the answer.
We can do it. We’ll make it.
