2023 6th International Religious Leaders’ Conference

6th International Religious Leaders’ Conference

Date: 2023. Sep. 19th, 10:00AM(GMT+9)

Event site: http://worldpeacesummit.org

Why does religion have such a big impact on peace?

The answer is easy when and why people fight. When you think differently, when you have different cultures, you perceive other people as others.

Then you fight with others to protect yourself and for your own gain.

Different religions mean that there is a very big difference in thought. The culture is completely different, and the difference in beliefs is quite large.

That’s why 80 percent of the world’s wars have been fought for religious reasons so far. Therefore, religious leaders cannot achieve complete peace without becoming one.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE 2023 6th International Religious Leaders' Conference WARP Offices Philippine Mindanao Peacebuilding Mindanao peace agreement manheelee peace leader hwpl world peace summit 918 WARP Summit 2023 HWPL World Peace Summit — *There are also conflicts between other different religions*

Mindanao is a prime example.

Mindanao is on the path to peace after ending the military collision between the Philippine government and Moro groups, which lasted over 40 years and resulted in more than 120,000 casualties.

In General Santos on 24 January 2014, a civilian agreement was signed for the peace of Mindanao. The signing ceremony, hosted by HWPL and organized by the IWPG and the IPYG, was attended by over 300 residents including politicians, university professors, religious leaders, and students.

The Chairman of HWPL Man-hee Lee, war veteran over 90 years old, shouted, “If you want peace, raise your hand!!”

Before the audience, Archbishop Emeritus Fernando Robles Capalla of Archdiocese of Davao and Governor Esmael G. Mangudadatu of Maguindanao signed the agreement as representatives to cooperate in ceasing the conflict and building peace.

With this agreement as a starting point, HWPL launched a peace movement to raise public awareness of peace not only in Mindanao but throughout the WORLD.

HWPL WARP Offices : 277 offices in 129 countries

In accordance with the World Alliance of Religions Agreement signed by major world religious leaders, the strategies in the efforts for building peace in the religious community are also steadily being implemented.

India’s WARP Office began on January 4, 2015, and as of November 2021, five are in operation, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai and Pune. It held more than 350 meetings online and offline.

The HWPL World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Offices have been established and actively operated in 130 countries around the world, contributing to preventing religious disputes and promoting harmony through close dialogue and communication between different religions.

When religious leaders and believers focus on the value embedded in their scriptures and promote understanding of each other’s text, harmony among religious groups is possible.

you can be the messenger of peace. 🙂

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.

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.

My hobby is taking a walk, so I walk again today. It feels good to walk while thinking about whether it is a walk for peace.

I’ll try today so that it’s not just self-satisfied. Please cheer for us.
I want you to be a messenger of peace, too.

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

[D-2] Music Peace Festival in the Philippines

It is no exaggeration to say that war has coexisted with mankind since the beginning of civilization until now.
‘World peace’ has become a more unfamiliar word than ‘WAR’, and everyone wants world peace but no one thinks it is possible.

Can we really achieve a world of peace without war?
Documentary ‘The Great Legacy’ begins with this question.
The documentary crew of the past two years have met Mindanao, the Philippines, who is actually at peace.

Mindanao, the Philippines, where gunshots were always heard, was a representative conflict area in the Philippines.
The conflict between religion and ethnicity, which began in the Spanish colonial period, was so deep that it was thought to be difficult to resolve.

The distrust and hostility, in people’s minds, that grew in the painful process of negotiations that lasted for more than 40 years were scarier than flying bullets.

In such Mindanao, people began to melt weapons to make farming tools, and a procession of 10,000 people eagerly crying for peace filled the streets.
This scene was more surprising than anyone else in the Philippines.

What’s even more surprising is that it started with a Korean peace activist who allowed them to join hands for peace and collect distrust, which was scarier than fighting.

They call him the “Messenger of Peace,” who gave peace and hope that no one could solve.
Those who are expanding peace across the Philippines now ask you that question.

“Do you really want a world of peace?”

1st National Peace Convention to Establish Unity for Peace in the Philippines

The first National Peace Convention is set to take place on January 25, 2023 (Wednesday) at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC).

I want you to experience firsthand the power to achieve peace. There are two days left!

The 1st Burundi Peace Education Seminar

Facts about Burundi

Burundi is blessed with an abundance of tea and coffee plantations. But this country is struggling to emerge from a 12-year, ethnic-based civil war. Since independence in 1962 it has been plagued by tension between the usually-dominant Tutsi minority and the Hutu majority.

Is there any movement for peace?

The 1st Burundi Peace Education Seminar

The 1st Burundi Peace Education Seminar, hosted by Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light, was held on January 11, at Rehoboth School in Burundi Bujumbura.

A total of 22 people participated in the seminar, including the principals and teachers of the Rehoboth School, Le Dauphin, Lycée communal of Cashi and Ecole Oasis des Anges. The theme of the event was “Discounting the Pilot Training for the Peaceful Education of Burundi in 2019 and Sharing the plan for 2020.”

“HWPL peace education serves as a global platform aimed at leaving peace as a legacy to future generations by raising the awe of building peace from citizens around the world and challenging threats from war and violence by promoting a culture of peace. Because all mankind is weak and imperfect, HWPL peace education teaches us how to understand and forgive others” said Hatungimana Liévain, a teacher of the Rehoboth School and Lycée communal of Cashi.

In response to the seminar, Emmanuel Ndayishimiye, the principal of Ecole Oasis des Anges, said, “We have agreed that peace is priceless and therefore, peace education is to be taken seriously in our schools.”

Thank you all very much. Let’s all play our roles in our respective positions.

Turkey IPYG supported the DPCW in Sultanahmet

Amazing Color of Turkey!!!

Turkey has a very diverse culture that is a blend of various elements of the Turkic, Anatolian, Ottoman and Western culture and traditions. Also, Turkey is not the only country in the world that is famous for its beautiful textiles, but only Turkey has Tulu, an amazing shop with a myriad of exceptionally colorful goods. Turkish culture is a product of efforts to be a “modern” Western state, while maintaining traditional religious and historical values.

The news of peace is also heard in Turkey, which is so beautiful.

In the event, historical beauties such as Sultanahmet and Hagia Sophia were in the middle of the square. The participants painted the Turkish flag and showed their support for the peace campaign. Turkey was also performed simultaneously with similar events in many places in the world.

Stating the importance of DPCW, the Chairman Man Hee Lee said, “DPCW represents the will of global citizens. Societies want to be at peace and to live together in peace. This declaration advocates that everyone should build peace. The DPCW’s 10 articles and 38 clauses provide the basis for the peace of all world communities.”

About Declaration of
Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW)

The DPCW dates back to South Korea, where 150,000 people called for and participated in the Peace Letter Campaign. The declaration focuses on resolving conflicts in many regions around the world through international cooperation. It is also stated that the implementation of international law is of critical importance for achieving world peace and spreading the culture of peace.

Chairman Man Hee Lee
: What is his biography?

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).

Mr. Man Hee Lee, Chairman of HWPL, proclaimed a message of peace filled with passion through his opening speech by saying “Five years ago, at the WARP Summit, Political leaders pledged to work towards an international legal document for peace and cessation of war, religious leaders pledged to achieve the alliance of religions, and heads of various organizations pledged to urge for the completion of this work. We are working to keep that promise now. The event is held at the same time in many countries around the world. These efforts will shine in the history of the world and we must be united to achieve the promised purpose (of peace).
