Peace – a beautiful ideal, a distant dream or our future?
Many people I have encountered on life’s journey tell me
they would love to see a world of peace but do not believe it is possible.
What is it that makes us disregard the possibility of this
for our generation and what does it take to make this a reality?
The wise words from Chairman Lee of Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) are very simple –
it takes you and me to change our mind from believing it impossible to making
it possible – “You can do it - if you do it!”
With a track record of fulfilling every promise declared
before thousands of people since May 2013, Chairman Lee has proved time after
time that these words ring true to those who hear it and take it to heart.
On September 18th
2015, Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) called all
leaders of the world to gather together for the wonderful vision of a world of
peace by facilitating a signing ceremony for ‘Proposal to enact an
international law for the cessation of war’ and ‘Unity of Religions Agreement’ during
the World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit in Seoul, South Korea.
The event was attended by 50 former and incumbent
presidents, vice presidents, and prime ministers as well as roughly 2,000 other
politicians, religious representatives, leaders of women’s and youth organisations,
who all gathered to form a network for peace.
Where would you ever go to see many religious leaders from
all continents of the world gather together in one place? When has this ever
happened before on such a large scale?
Not only was this a miracle but they all signed a pledge to
further this work by uniting all the scriptures for the common goal of peace
and to support this law by becoming the gatekeepers of the International Law
for the cessation of war.
Since then Mr Lee has been travelling tirelessly around the world to fully commit to the pledge that has been made.
After hosting the 1st Annual Commemoration summit, an International law committee has been established, propelling the focus to holding substantive meetings for drafting an article on convention on renunciation and cessation of wars and armed conflicts, which was later held in London for the 2nd amendment.
I was delighted to hear that Mr Lee and Ms Kim Nam Hee of IWPG had travelled to LA, Salvador and then to London in November following the Commemoration event to host the International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) ‘IWPG Peace Forum’ to urge the implementation of the International Convention on the Cessation of War and Achievement of World Peace to discuss implementation of the International Convention.
Ms Kim Nam Hee pleaded with all women leaders; “Only when we become one in heart and gather our efforts to urge for peace, we can do so much more than we do separately,” and underlined the integral role that youth and women play in achieving peace.
“When we raise active awareness on how crucial the implementation of the Convention on the Cessation of Wars is, this initiative will be unstoppable by any forms of authority or wealth. Let us all become messengers of peace and speak up for the implementation of the Convention in one voice.”
Not only were the Women leaders addressed but also a visit was made to the most prestigious university in England, at the University of Oxford, where HWPL Chairman, Mr. Man Hee Lee delivered a Keynote speech to over 600 students at the Oxford International MUN conference where key world issues were discussed and participants could listen to illustrious guest speakers from across the globe.
Chairman Lee asked keen listeners “Even before their precious lives fully blossom and receive proper education, should youth ever be forcibly taken away from their mothers and be trained and used as tools to satisfy the greed of others?”
It could be said from some sceptics, what do well educated Oxford students know and understand about the issues of war?
However, sowing a seed of peace in the hearts of these influential young people will reap a harvest of peace from potential world leaders who have the power to change the world in the next generation. These are young people who have a voice who can change and influence a nation which can impact the world – tomorrow’s leaders.
Surely, that must be a hope worth fighting for?
”The cessation of war and world peace is possible. Peace is
not achieved by one individual or by one country or a corporation, but rather
it is achieved by the combined efforts of everyone, the efforts of the global
family on this earth like you”. (Chairman Lee)
Never before has anyone achieved world peace but with a
movement this big and growing rapidly day by day it is without a shadow of
doubt that Chairman Lee knows the answer to bring peace to fruition – the fruits
of his labour speak for themselves.
