‘World Alliance of Religions Peace Summit 2014’ - Day 1-Event

‘World Alliance of Religions Peace Summit 2014’ was held in Seoul, the last remaining country in the world in separation with North and South. It was great honor for me to participate it as one of youth wishing for the world peace more than anyone. The official events were lied in three consecutive days and the first one was held in ’88 Olympic Stadium’ in Jamsil, where Seoul Olympic game had once been held in 1988. In this huge stadium, more than 100,000 people gathered together and shouted world peace together. That filled me up in my heart and mind with great hope of completion and achievement of true peace in this globe.

As the countdown for the ‘Day 1-Event’ began, all religious people and the politicians from different countries strode and marched altogether. It was extreme beauty for me seeing them appeared in harmony, and such transcendence of borders, religions, ethnicities, and genders for the world peace seemed to make it possible.

Soon after, an astounding performance has caught the eyes of every single people in the stadium. A card section performance was that amazement performed by 12,000 youths. Its unbelievably impact message was, though quite short, powerful enough to put everyone in recognition of the importance of the world peace during this generation. With its frame by frame message, the spectators came to know how helpless and powerless a government would be for the countless number of innocent sacrifices of youths in the crisis of wars. Those youths whose lives were supposed to bloom with talent and dream but ended to death are one of our families, friends and colleagues.

War must be terminated and ended and the completion and achievement of peace for all mankind must be taken in place.

Followed, congratulatory addresses of prominent figure guests instilled the genuine definition of peace in us. Then, beautiful performances, including 'Arirang', a Korean traditional folk song, were received much attention from the spectators in the stadium.

The chairman of Heavenly Culture World Peace Restoration of Light (HWPL) addressed and urged why we all need to be together and unified to one through WARP Summit in such necessities. Our world where full of screaming, crying and agonizing in the wars can now see the certainty of unprecedented peace in human history.

As for the last event, all the people in participation gathered and went around together in the field, singing ’88 Olympic Theme Song, ‘Hand in Hand’. Such harmonized and unified scene of them impressed and actually touch me deeply.

For the completion of peace, greed in people needs to be abandoned, mutual respect should be taken in place and all must be the put together in one purpose; peace. With this beautiful peace movement as a great and powerful tool, our dauntless courage and endless effort should be paid in order to achieve peace in ultimacy.

Is the badge of peace shining in your heart?

This is my treasure- the thing I love the most.

the leaders of the country next to ours,

Press Conference for the World Alliance of Religions: Peace Summit

SEOUL—Governmental and religious leaders, youth organizations, and women groups gather to attend the world’s largest peace summit held in the Republic of South Korea, where a sustainable solution to peace will be presented, as well as methods and programs for the cessation of war.

On September 17-18, the 2014 World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit will be held in Seoul, the Republic of Korea. The locations where the summit will be held are the Gate of Peace, Jamsil Sports Complex Stadium and 63 Building Convention Center. Approximately 200,000 people are scheduled to attend. Among them are 1,500 leaders including international heads of states and leading representatives of world religions such as Catholicism, Protestantism, Eastern Orthodox Church, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism, as well as organizations working in collaboration with the International Peace Youth Group (IPYG) and the International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG). Over 100 national broadcasting companies from around the world will also cover the events of the WARP summit.

A question was posed to Mr. Lee in a press conference held before the first day: “The Middle East is a region rife with religious wars and conflicts. Is it possible to achieve peace here as in Mindanao, Philippines?” Mr. Lee responded, “Just because peace is achieved in the Middle East does not mean world peace is achieved. Rather than considering an issue that is confined to only one region, we need to resolve the fundamental problem that has its roots worldwide. Therefore, heads of state around the world must come to an agreement to establish an international law that bans war so that all wars come to an end permanently.” Mr. Lee is a global peace advocate and the Chairman of Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) as well as IPYG and IWPG.

Also, Ms. Nam Hee Kim said, “Until now, women have been perceived as weak. But through Mr. Lee, I gained confidence that women can also play a central role in achieving world peace. This is because the power to protect the children who are forced out to battlefields is in the mothers. If all women in the world unite as one, I am certain that world peace will definitely be achieved.“

Ms. Kim is a global female leader and representative of IWPG.

Following the press conference on September 16 at the Cosmos Hall of Walker Hill Hotel, an HWPL affiliated organization called IPYG hosted a conference for more than 500 leaders of youth groups from 127 nations including nations that are experiencing conflicts such as the Balkan Peninsula, Ukraine, Yemen, Syria, and Israel. They discussed programs that can help build mutual understanding and trust.

Afterwards, a preliminary meeting of the WARP Advisory Council was held, where former and current presidents, prime ministers, premiers, chairmen of the national assemblies, and chief justices of the supreme courts from various nations gathered to share their experience in leadership and future peace initiatives.

Former and current heads of state, important figures from all walks of life and religious leaders with authority will attend this summit where they will devise a specific plan to put an end to wars around the world. They will also present a real solution to religious conflicts. The number of people attending the summit as well as the scale of this event is expected to be unprecedented
