Do you know There was the Peace Agreement in Mindano, Philippines?


The peace agreement in Mindanao, Philippines, a Korean did!
Do you know the Mindanao Island in Philippines?
The Mindanao Island is located in southern of Philippines, a region which 5% of Muslim, called ““Moro””, lives in and there are 85% of Catholic people live in Philippines.
There has been long history of religious conflict between Catholics and Muslims for 40 years until now from 1968, because of a struggle for independence of Muslims.
The conflict has killed 150,000 victims.
But in this conflict area, a spark of peace is begun finally.
On January 24, the representatives of Catholicism and Islam united to sign the peace agreement for ending the war and achieving World Peace.
Have you noticed that a Korean led the peace agreement?


On January 24, the peace advocate Manhee Lee and the peace mission visited the Mindanao Island in Philippines and had peace walk campaign with about 1,000 religious leaders beyond religion and teenagers.
The peace advocate Manhee Lee made the religious leaders sign the peace agreement after peace walk.
Although this agreement is made by non-governmental power, it affects the Philippines government to admit autonomy of Islam in Mindanao.
Moro Islamic Liberation front must be gradually a catalytic of agreement that means disarmament.
How can they sign peace negotiations?
Manhee Lee, peace leader said that he found main reason of the conflict, Mindanao Island religious conflict so he persuaded the religious leaders.
Ramos ex-president said that Manhee Lee accomplished what hi himself couldn’t do for peace of Mindanao.


After this agreement, Manhee Lee was invited to a government-run broadcasting station PTV and many the press and have told this news.
Peace News from Philippines!
We are proud of Manhee Lee as a Korean.
Everyone has hoped peace and had peace campaigns but the people don’t know how.
We wonder he who knows the way to make a peace will do ahead.

John Lennon's Lyrics "Imagine All the People Sharing All the World"



When I was young, I had joined in many demonstrations for the liberty, equality and peace. I thought these problems(lack of freedom, inequality) result from the social system and the capitalist society can not achieve peace, equality and even freedom. So I joined in left-wing organizations because I was convinced that socialism could be an alternative social system. And I dreamed of an ideal society where everyone can live peacefully having no borders and no possessions like John Lennon's lyrics “Imagine there's no heaven~ Imagine there's no countries~ No religion too~ Imagine no possessions~ imagine all the people sharing all the world"
At that time I realized that public opinion became so distorted and intolerant in regard to peace and justice because of influence of huge conservative media company. So I worked as report in an alternative media for a while to make people have more interest in these issues. However I could not sure that this society would be changed and I couldn't find clear answer about how to solve these problems. Eventually I came to a conclusion that all of my attempt was not a proper and essential solution to change world.
So I lost my fervor for the better world and I got a stable job for my own life. One day I chanced to read an article on someone's blog page that was about work of peace advocate Man Hee Lee. And I was so suprized to see his achievements that seemed to be truly hard to make as individual one. Then I was curious to know more about him. So I watched many Youtube videos showing his work. It showed globle peace walk and meeting with hightest class leader of foreign country for peace commitment. In that such amazing events, I confirmed so many young people gave cheers to him and many former and present presidents agreed with him and they positively joined in his activity.
Then I thought Mr Man Hee Lee is quite different person as a great man compared to the great names of past ages who had worked for only their own country's trouble or conflict between some countries. The reason why I thought like that is I found a certain method and possibility to achieve it in his word even if his aim for world peace looked like a farseeing plan. This below word of him is my evidence of conviction
"As emissaries of World Peace; as people who are working towards the restoration of humanity through a new and heavenly culture, we declare the following:
We call on the heads of state of every country to sign an international agreement – a commitment to bringing all wars to an end. We ask them to do this from a spirit of deep-seated love for the people of their country.
We call on all youth to unite in an effort to stop wars and pursue the restoration of peace by agreeing not to fight one another. For World Peace to become a reality this is the duty of all youth, everywhere. The only way to stop the fighting and pointless, tragic deaths, is to stop fighting. Nobody can ask for anything greater than this, and know now that your efforts – the efforts of the young people of the world today in pursuit of peace – will remain as a never fading light of life for all future generations."(A part of 'Declaration of World Peace')
Through his word I also realized that social system or physical conditions can not change our world and people' mind but if all the young people join in this peace activity and become one it is really possible to create a peaceful and righteous world. We have sincerely needed this great vision and substantial resolution. In conclusion I certainly keep in mind this word "our spirit rules over our thought and physical body" and I hope we have a same spirit of Mr Man Hee Lee that make us to participate to create a peaceful world and then we can eventually imagine a true heavenly world!

What action can I as an individual take for World Peace?

I have traveled to Europe (Italy, Turkey, China, )and several Asian countries since 2011.
My experiences in these countries have opened my mind and made me realize the need for peace, especially in war-torn countries.


I always think about world peace. What action can I as an individual take for world peace?
There have been many peace movements in history, people who have declared peace and gatherings, but the outcome of their efforts have always been short-lived.
I feel so sad about this. I have read about a novelist named Alfred Novel who invented a bomb which is known as the "dynamite."
Originally, this dynamite was not intended to be used as a weapon, but to be a benefit for humans.
About a year ago, I saw a video from a friend of mine who has great interest in peace.
It was a documentary about a man who has gone all around the world to speak about putting an end to wars and asking religious and political leaders to sign an agreement for world peace.
This man is known as Man-hee Lee, a peace advocate for the World.
I was amazed to hear that he was in his mid-80s.
He has done many great things for world peace. He has a special aura and ability to encourage influential leaders to sign an agreement for world peace
It is probably the greatest thing I've ever seen.
I would like to personally offer my gratitude to Mr. Man Hee Lee for doing the work that he does.

Peace advocate Man Hee Lee_ Peace Would Come True

Last year one day, bright and beautiful spring May, my close friend asked me to go out to take a walk. But interestingly she said we were going to a parade for Peace. "What? A parade for Peace? You are not saying a street demonstration?" I asked back to her. She laughed and told me back 'It is not serious mood but the issue could be serious though. You just come with me and enjoy it. There would be many great shows and many young people from many countries. You said you liked to make friends from abroad."
There was a crowd of people. Actually there were too many young people more than several thousand so I don't know how many. Among them, people were wearing face painting and bringing sings, quotes about peace. Some of them came in their uniforms, nurse, sports players, and solders. Some of them performed traditional dances of Indians, and some countries - I don't know very well. Anyway, it was rather exhilarating than serious.



The event got started. Many president or representative leaders from young people groups made their short speech or welcome message. One voice was very powerful and the message was strong but it was not from young one. I am too small so I had to step up in the crowd and look at the front. It was the voice of old gentleman looking like older than 70s. His name  Man Hee Lee.
On my way, I was told that he was actually 83 and a Korean war Veteran. Even though he is quite old and he does not earn money, he has been actively working for peace. I wondered why he did not enjoy his life at home or go to resort for vacation if he had lots of money because I liked to spend my old age on beach. At that day at home I read his message and mind on the internet. I could not help respecting him. He has served for Korea and world. What he advocates is no fight and no war crossover nation, race, languages, and religions, which is the same with other's point. However, he said "Let's love each other in the same way Mother Nature gives us all life free- Sun, Air and Rain. Wars have been existed all the time in all history. Only young men have sent to wars and satisfied before their lives become prosperous." He also said that if all of young men in the world decide not to fight, peace would come true. What a great idea!
When my guy friends and younger brother left home to military service for longer than two years, and separated families by Korean war, who could not meet each other for longer than 60 years in south Korea and north Korea sobbed at the union, I did realize Korea is the only divided nation in the world. That's why Korean people should do work harder for world peace. In that point of view, Mr. Man Hee Lee peace leader  seems to do his best for reunion of Korea and peaceful world in this generation.
Peace advocate Man Hee Lee is very humble and honest even though he has achieved so much things. He has invited and traveled in the world and met social, political, and religious leaders. Recent the peace agreement in an island, Philippine between Muslim and Catholic leaders was mediated by him.
I personally want young generation people to listen to his hearty story and talk and think what we should do for our nation and world!

What would you wish for this world?

If there is only one chance you can tell your wish, what would you wish for this world? Would you like to wish fortune, fame, or the technology for long life? For me, I would like to wish ‘peace’.

The whole world is being settled as a world-comprised organization, so- called ‘global village’.
Because of the globalization, all the events and competitions between countries such as Olympic, trade... take place more frequently
Therefore, socializing between people from different countries became natural these days. This is such a pleasant phenomenon. For the people in this world make the society of cooperation beyond their races, and nationalities.
However, we can also find many problems. There are many people suffer from famines, starving, and wars. The war of Cream and the territory dispute in Palestine are well-known cases. We can easily find them in media. We, Koreans, seem that we live in peace, we still have the possibility of breaking war between South and North. Even at this moment there are many peoples who are afraid of unpredictable wars come with all the pain and damages.
In that sense, I realized that our common daily lives would be special for someone who always lives in hazards of wars. I consider that everyone on this earth must have their rights to lead a happy life as other people have. Therefore, to accomplish peace is the most basic need for human being amongst all the matters. Many people who work for peace are just around us. Today, I would like to introduce a man who is Korean works for world peace.


Among those who work for peace, Mr. Man Hee Lee is the one I’d like to tell you. He is a peace advocate who takes an active part in international area for world peace. Man Hee Lee peace advocate has given many speeches every time he visits other countries like Europe, Southeast Asia and so on. He especially gives a speech on the importance of accomplishing peace.

Two of his representative activities are visiting Ethiopia to comfort the Korean War veteran, and the peace walking movements to aim at youth people in the world. He enthusiastically keeps contacting with the leaders from various organizations and tries to actualize the methods to fulfill the world peace. He takes signatures from leaders for agreement of world peace.
There is a lot of organizations aim for world peace. However, we still have no answer how we can actually drag the result out of it.

In Korea also, Mr. Man Hee Lee and the others work for peace. It simply isn’t seemed that big what they are doing. They are those who don’t pursue their own happiness but work for spreading the idea of the importance and the value of peace. I hope this earth would be filled with joys and pleasure with peace by many people participate peace movements. Therefore, our ‘global village’ would become ‘peace global village’ soon.

The World Peace can be Realized _ Man Hee Lee peace advocate

While I was applying for joining the army in April 2014, I became think that why I had to go to the army. That led me have interests on Army all over the world. Some countries did not have a liability for military service, others had a long period of military service.  There were countries where even children got involved in military drill. I had never experienced in war. Since South Korea is peaceful, I thought other countries were also calm.
As the time for me to go to the army was coming, I got to think that North Korea was not the safe place from war. If the war breaks out in Korea, young people will meet their death in the war like other youth. What a tragedy!



There were so many people in Seoul Olympic stadium in May 2013. My friends and I went there thinking famous stars would perform. But it was a movement for peace walking. At first I didn't think those kinds of movement was useful to change each person's mind and end the world war. However while I was walking with them, I felt some energies that was not explained. I realized that many people wished peace to come. I examined myself who lived for only me not peace.

During I searched for the obligatory period for military service of each country, I found Man Hee Lee who was well known for a peace advocate. I searched for him more, because I wanted to know him better. Through the research on him, I have known about the world peace a lot. I think the peace event I saw last year gave me a chance to think about peace.

"So many people cry out for the peace, but peace doesn't come true. Not just thinking but we should put thoughts into real action for the peace, then the world peace can be realized." Man Hee Lee said.

Everyone wants peace but  they are busy managing only their lives. I am so proud of having a peace advocate Man Hee Lee in Korea in this day and age. From now on, I will be a person who concerns about making world peaceful without war and the world where everyone love each other. Like a peace advocate Man Hee Lee's words, even if we make each person's own only one way to practice world peace, the world peace will be completed already from our mind.

What is Peace? _ Man Hee Lee Peace advocate _



This age has been filled with back to back wars, leaving much of the world in a state of poverty. Everywhere we look, there are new reports of conflict, when will there be an end? When will we be able to hear of peace, a time without war; is peace only a distant dream? What is peace?
When I was young, I heard of peace, but I have yet to know it. When people speak of fighting, their eyes light up with excitement and they speak on the subject endlessly. When they speak of peace, the excitement in their eyes dim, and silence takes the place of their boundless words. I had believed that peace would only be gained once our souls rested in the grave, but there is now a person who has come to this world speaking of peace with such fierce, soulful passion that I no longer feel it is only a dream but is instead a plausible and even attainable reality. This advocate and staunch ally of peace is Mr. Man Hee Lee. He is an activist that has traveled all over the world from nation to nation, from America to Africa, from Korea to Europe, East to West, North to South and everywhere between promoting peace with a success few others have ever come close to achieving.


Through nonstop peace seminars and through international media outlets millions have heard his message – from the layman to the elite – and nearly all who have heard have been given a since of hope; for once peace may just have a chance. I have dreamt of peace, but without an end to war peace could never become reality. I thought war would always be a part of our future, but if there were to be someone that could shine the light of peace throughout the world – it would be our duty to meet this person and rally behind them. To everyone who desires peace, Mr. Man Hee Lee  has become our beacon; he has become the light shining through the strife of the world. Where he has planted the seed of peace, it is up to us to nurture and follow through to see it fully bloom. Peace on Earth – World peace – finally a road has been laid, we only have to drive it.

Man Hee Lee Peace advocate has worked for World Peace



I have always hoped peace in this era, so this good news makes me happy and interesting. I found out that ,Man Hee Lee who was peace advocate has worked for world peace such as giving relief goods to where help was needed including The Papua New Guinea , taking place peace walking ,keeping shouting at notables of world peace . These articles make me think that this world is still worthy to live and me be impressed.

“No WAR“ and “WORLD PEACE“




We are one and only divided nation in the world. Living in this country, have we ever thought about peace? Well, for most Koreans peace means just the state without military collision against North Korea. Then what is world peace to us? There are numerous disputes and wars going on, we don‘t really feel related to those except for the moment when we hear of it from news. Call me ignorant, yet at least I was that kind of person. One day, I bumped into a bunch of people crying out for “No WAR“ and “WORLD PEACE“. Who are they and how come they are doing it? It came as a refreshing jolt to me who has never thought about doing something for world peace. And there was an old man proclaiming “World Peace!“. Although in distance, I could see him standing firm in his belief, feeling that he was gathering up all the youth. Wondering who he is, I asked someone about him. “Man Hee Lee“, an advocate of world peace. I haven‘t heard of him, but his powerful voice and assertive face didn‘t go away in my mind. Looking him up, I found out how great are the works he has done overseas. He has met many presidents, politicians, religious leaders as an individual not even a representative of a nation. What he does is simple. He persuades them with the element for world peace he has got and draw an agreement to world peace, which is needed for sure, yet no one has ever been able to do. He even mediated the peace treaty in Mindanao. That is an island I cared about since one of my best friends lives there being war-battered. He brought peace to my friend and Mindanao! I could never thank more to him. At the moment I realized peace is a matter of life and death of my friend or my family, not someone I never know. The better thing he got me is I started to care about peace thanks to him. His philosophy is simple. Who doesn‘t want peace? When we are enlightened and become the potential peace makers, including me, we can have a voice to the whole world.   A fog cannot be dispelled with a fan. Yet, once a myriad of fans are gathered, a for will disappear. Let‘s believe in ourselves. We can be the peace makers with him!

The cruel Korea Peninsula....Hope for a peace


The cruel Korea Peninsula....
Hope for a peace


Nowadays, the Korean Peninsula has become a tight political situation.
A few days ago, The south korea president, Park Geun-hye visited at Dresden in Germany for the conference of security of nuclear.
She announced the declaration of Dresden and suggested the vision concerning for the unification of peace.

However, after that day, not passed many days, the will of the government seemed founder because of the continuous unforeseen accidents from North Korea. The worries for the experiment of the nuclear weapons, the determination of the revenge of Yeon-Pyeong island, Training for a surprising attack Northern Limit Line, etc. Now that all those threatening elements, the issue of the Korea Peninsula is reissued.

Korea Peninsula suffered from the Korean War and It was a international war which 25 countries were participated in.
This war was a too serious war that The administration, Truman even worried that it might be spreaded into the third international war. And. even now after 65 years, it still remain the state of the truce so there is always a potential threat that is very connected to the world peace.
However, this still remains as the state that in the political worlds , social studies, academia and citizens no one gives an exact answer. And it seems never ending.



However, in this difficult situation, there is a man who longs for the world peace and runs as a peace activist.
This man is just the representative named  Mr. MAN HEE LEE  Peace advocate and he joined the Korean war spent his  youth on the front line troops. He really hope there is no war anymore in any places.
That is why he has been announcing the preciousness of the peace and let all people know their each  mission for a peace by going around all the nations though he is 84 years old.

Also, he has been meeting eminent persons from various circles and carry the message that please take part in bringing the peace in all the nations for all people and do not just seek for your own profit anymore and a lot of eminent persons from various circles agreed.
The fulfillment of the world peace that no one fulfilled so far.


In the world , now so many want to learn the pure passion and
pay attention on him, Mr. MAN HEE LEE.

We hope in Korea Peninsula also fulfill the peace and unite finally.

NOW, the world far from "PEACE"

 
When people are asked if they want peaceful world there's nobody that says "NO!" However few people do something for peace. I am no exception with this. Whenever I hear the news; wars, disputes, racial discrimination, political problems, and regional conflict and so on.. I feel that peace we really want is far from us. As time goes by, peace grows away.
 
Youth! World Peace Walk! Shout out "PEACE"
Shocking but fresh.
The parade of people from all around world.
Signs saying "WE WANT PEACE. WE CAN DO IT"
The shouting they were making..
Big smiles are on their faces and they became one in the word "peace"
I was watching them and I felt something sprung up in my mind.
 

Peace advocate Man Hee Lee!
"Who is that old man and why are they cheering for every his word?"
I joined the part of the young people and saw Mr, Man Hee Lee.
He was quite old but looked more powerful than the youth.
I couldn't help being impressed by his speech.
He was saying..
"There is no one that hates peace. Every one wants peace. However peace can't be achieved by shouting out peace and doing nothing."
I've never heard that kind of message. He was the one who worked hard for peace without being paid any price. He was encouraging us to take part in working for peace. I felt how eagerly and sincerely he wanted peace and how hard he himself worked for peace. I was sure that a better world to live will come sooner if more people get together for peace and show their minds and will.
Man Hee Lee, the peace advocate!
I hope I hear more good news about him and peace.

“PEACE"



When you hear the word "PEACE" what comes into your mind first? When I hear the word "peace" I was young and had no idea.  I was blank.  From that time, I started to think about the state of our country, Korea.  "The only divided country in the world"  All of the people around the world want PEACE including me.  There's no person who never wants peace.
Many religious leaders, political leaders and famous people want peace and have been trying to have a better world by achieving peace.  Even so many Nobel prizes for peace have been given to many people who have been considered that they contributed to peace.  However, we still have wars, disputes and troubles in the world.  I was wondering why is that?..I couldn't find the answer.  But coincidently last spring I saw an event in Seoul, Korea.  There were so many people around the world and they held placards that say "we want peace!".  I have never seen and heard of such a big event.  They were ready for 'WORLD PEACE WALK".  So I got curious and decided to watch a bit more.  And an old Korean man came up onto the stage and gave them a speech.  I was also listening to him among people.  He was Man-hee Lee, the peace activist.

He was saying..

"There's nobody that hates peace.  Everyone wants peace to be fulfilled as soon as possible.  However we can not achieve peace by saying that we should achieve peace and do something...."

He was achieving PEACE in the most essential way.  I got very impressed and thought he must be the one who can make a peaceful world practically.  Even though he was old he was so enthusiastic. I got inspired by his powerful speech.  I thought I wanted to be the part of them and do something for peace.  I'm sure "The more people like Man hee Lee peace advocate and the followers gather the sooner PEACE will come."


Let us love one another like light, rain, and air _ Man Hee Lee Peace advocate

The Peace Advocate Man Hee Lee


The first time when I heard about this man was the last year at Seoul Olympic Park. I was in a taxi and the cars seemed that they are never going to move forward. I was stuck there and the driver said ‘ Something,in the park, is going on. That is why here we have a traffic jam.’ Just a few minutes after,I could see a huge number of people were walking along the road.
 I decided to get out of the taxi and kept looking at them and what they were holding. They were signs written about ‘Peace’.
It was kind of so much unusual happening, the walking festival for world peace in Korea?
There were not only Korean young people but also many foreigners.
I got so curious who would organize this kind of good work. I asked people where they come from and I could know that they are all from the universities and from certain youth clubs. Then who tied these people all together?
When I had got home I searched the Internet and found the one who has done all the work. His name was ‘Man Hee Lee’ and he was Korean. I would never even imagine that there would be a man who can do this work in Korea. I could find some messages he had told about peace on the webpages.

He said,
Anybody can easily say that ‘Peace’ is good. But there have not been many people who can actually carry out the work of peace and make it into reality. But it is the time we must do this work. Let us love one another like light, rain, and air. Because they come from the sky for free for anyone.

Every word he had said was just stuck in my mind and moved my heart. Because I was the one who have been feeling guilty with not helping other people who are suffering from wars and disasters. I even made a film about that. But it was not easy. ForI was always busy with my own business.
Haven’t I been so selfish? I was born in Korea where there is no big problem with food, etc… I guess everyone might feel in the same way as I did.

I am interested in what he is doing now.
I am looking forward to what will be the next work he is going to do.
Next time, I would not just look at it but participate for all the precious works.

The place where world peace is being fulfilled!


-World Peace Walk

Over 100 youth organizations from over 50 different nations, including youth leaders from Portugal, Greece, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Jordan, Belarus and Columbia and 27,000 local Korean citizens marched for peace in the International Youth Walk for World Peace and Restoration.

Hosted by the International Youth Group of World Peace, the 1.5km course was divided into seven sections, ending at the Seoul Olympic Park, representing the world’s seven continents and the Republic of Korea – the place where world peace is being fulfilled.
During the event, a declaration of peace was read by Mr. Man Hee Lee, peace advocate. His address comprised a request to nations to join in the signing of an international agreement to end all wars, an exhortation for the youth of the world to unite in making a stand for peace, and for all people to become more aware of the daily requirements of peace. He also appealed to journalists and members of the media to broadcast the event in an effort to encourage all members of society to stand together for peace.

Starting with Seoul in Korea, the International Youth Walk for World Peace is spreading over the world. Germany, Philippines, America and so on. Mr. Man hee Lee, peace advocate was welcomed wherever he went.
Most recently, Mr. Man hee Lee went to Mindanao in Philippines and a ground breaking peace walk of students from the University of Mindanao, youth associations, mayors and religious leaders filled downtown General Santos. The walk, held for the first time in the midst of high alerts of violence, transcended religions and nationalities and inspired the Filipino youth generation that peace is possible. Joining Mr. Man hee Lee was also Ms. Kim Nam Hee who is working with women leaders to advocate peace.

Man Hee Lee, peace advocate said, “As the light, rain, and air of heaven give life to all creation, let us love this world. Love will achieve world peace and restoration.”

Every move by the peace advocate, Man Hee Lee is drawing the attention of the people all around the world.

Peace advocate, Manhee Lee, dedication to previous world peace's work was admirable

Here's the world that can communicate with people from the all over the world through the internet, even not their own countries.
Compare with the old times, it gets better and better.
But we sometimes hear very bad news from the other countries, too...actually it is more than the good news...
Everyone wants world peace and lives happily and I am also one of them who want  live gladly.
Everyone wants to live happily but the real is not ...
why somebody lives in splendor (wealth and honor) and why some don't.. even they are in pain and suffering and it made them think about the reason of living...



But I heard some great news from my neighbors who live in Philippines.
There is an island which was in trouble with religious fight , but the war was ended and they made a peace agreement.
More amazing thing is the key person of the peace agreement is Korean Manhee Lee.  and after that  I searched lots of news that he did already many things , that was really surprising! His dedication to previous world peace's work was  admirable!
It is not about private purpose and he has been U.S, Europe, East south Asia, Africa, South America and so on...to make world peace! his movement just doesn't stop his walk of peace life. his age is over 80 but very respectful, drastic.
He is really enough appropriate to have that title.

I vaguely thought there would be world peace . everyone can be happy people indeed?  but I have hope since I leanred Mr Manhee Lee's walk of life, and want to join him! if everyone share this way, that will be coming soon!

The Nobel Peace Prize of this Era


According to Nobel's will, the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to the person or organization who in the preceding year "shall have done the most or the best work for promoting the welfare of all mankind”.

Many people have been awarded the prize for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace so far and there were also many recipients who devoted his or her life for peace in the world such as Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King.

As we all know, it’s been a long time for many people or organizations to try to stop conflicts and fights between nations but in reality, things seem to be working far from peace.
Many people have longed for peace and will do. However the word of ‘peace’ itself wouldn’t bring peace to the world.
Wouldn’t it be possible to achieve the real world peace when someone takes the lead and actually goes to the disputed area to cease the war and make them united?

But there is few person who invests his life and takes the risk of danger by going out some places to inform the necessity of real peace. I want peace too, I haven’t played a actual role for the realization of World Peace. Only, I wished the Peace with having sorrow watching the conflicts among the nations.



However, there is the man that has tried to achieve the World Peace by day and night. He is the peace advocate, chairman Manhee Lee.

Although he is eighty three – year – old and not a young man, he tours around the world and meets the several country’s presidents and the people that have posts of importance explaining the way to actualize the World Peace and drawing the conversation for it because he really wants the era of World Peace.

“Maybe, everyone thinks that the era of World Peace should come quickly but it would not come by speaking the word ”peace“ repeatedly.  -Manhee Lee-

Like we take the light, the rain, and the air for granted, our chairman, Manhee Lee, is a peace advocate that endeavor to achieve the World Peace without rewarding. When we joined his will for the World Peace and take a part to actualize it, the world meets the real peaceful world.

The only hope for world peace, peace advocate Man hee Lee


Now 21C, human-being achieved so many things even it couldn’t be counted. The society is more convenient and offers us clean and stable service. The science developed as high as we barely imagine. So we can talk through the line with friends live abroad, watch TV programs in subway, and go to everywhere in hours. The technical part has been developed like this amazing level. However, I guess the human’ mind, it still remains one of huge agendas to people on the earth.

As I said we succeed quite great achievement, on the earth we have problems which we need to solve. Even though WWⅠ, WWⅡ was ended, we have still many kinds of conflicts in the world. Few days ago, I read a short essay on a website about a peace advocate.
His name is Man hee Lee, I never heard about it, but his doing is very impressive for me.
Man hee Lee, his peace movement makes me touched. Especially, the Peace Talk trips. He has had these trips for almost 2 years. And he traveled many nations such as U.S.A, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Republic of South Africa, Thailand, Rumania etc, etc, etc. I couldn’t remember all nation Mr. Man hee Lee has visited. It is not just a sort of touring. As a peace advocate, Mr. Man hee Lee visits the country, and meets people who are interested in peace. For example, He meets ex-president or prime minister to talk about how we can make peace in the world.

 I don’t know much about what they talked about our world and peace, but I think it is great thing for us. Yes, it is great.
There were many people who concern about peace, but I’m not sure that they really made peace in the world. Of course, they did amazing thing even I never do. However, I’m going to trust Mr. Man hee Lee peace advocate. I want to see what he does, what he wants to do for peace. I hope that the peace he is trying to make comes true on the earth.

Who is peace advocate Man Hee Lee ?


History is full of great people; people who have accomplished wondrous or amazing acts within their life time. However, there are fewer of those people whose singular purpose went beyond themselves and into the lives of not only those around them but the entire world; that is what we are seeing today with ManHee Lee.
Here is a man born to one of the smallest and poorest nations in the world at that time – South Korea, a nation where grass and mud huts were still common place and education was secondary to working in the field. Like South Korea though, ManHee Lee has risen to prominence throughout the world. He has created a movement so large, so profound, and growing so exponentially that he could be responsible for changing the course of not only the world as we know it, but the world of our children’s children and beyond.


For those that may not know, ManHee Lee is an advocate of peace, a zealot, an extraordinary warrior fighting a war on war. His battle has led him across the seven seas, into both hemispheres, and onto every populated continent on our dear Earth. He has met with presidents, ambassadors, dignitaries, religious leaders, and other peace organizations at every stop. ManHee Lee is uniting the world behind a self-enforced treaty, a promise, an alliance – a rallying cry of peace. Each leader, president, ambassador etc, has been so moved by his words and effort that they have each committed their signatures and support; promising to work toward peace. But more than a mere dream, this promise is having tangible results such as in the most recent effort in Mindanao, Philippines where he succeeded in brokering a peace treaty between the Islamic and Catholic parties, where so many others had failed before him.
In terms of great people, ManHee Lee is well on his way to being one of the greatest of the great by perhaps finally bringing peace to a world that until now has never known peace. Sure there have been moments or calms between wars, but when has there been a movement so large that every nation in the world united behind a banner of peace from their peoples to their presidents. It is a tidal wave, a tsunami racing toward us, an unavoidable evolution that humankind must take in order to survive, and Manhee Lee could just be the catalyst that made it all happen – the big bang that unites us. Bring Peace – Bring the World.

Man Hee Lee let people sign the agreement of peace ,in Mindanao,Philippines



We have heard the word, peace many times but we all have thought there is no peace in this world .Why?
Because we have seen conflicts between countries ,people and even between religions more.
As a man who really hopes peace , I am very sad to hear and see these situations and realities.Can't we have a true peace ? of course, I think I can give a help to make our world peaceful by our work ,such as volunteering and helping local development
but I am looking for clear ways to come true and really hope for us to make  peaceful world. I by chance read the article about the messenger of peace ,Man Hee Lee on internet .He was 80 years over but his passion ,message and work looked like a youth.The article says that he went around the world 7times to work for world peace and he is said to be a peace advocate ,so I am interested in him.It is said that he is a messenger of peace from heaven .What has he been working? He was not just sitting and not only saying.Man Hee Lee let people sign the agreement of peace ,in Mindanao,Philippines . The conflict between the religions has been for40 years .I deeply agree to his idea that religion can give a true peace to world and should not give conflict to world .This is why there is religion in the world .

Peace in Mindanao, peace advocate Manhee Lee (Catholic-Islam peace agreement)



After the Peace Walk, peace activist, Mr. Lee gathered at a conference room of General Santos with those who joined.
Following the Representative Catholic Fernando Capela, Cardinal Dabaogen, Islamic Representative Ismael,
and the Mayor of Mindanao Islamic autonomous district


Peace advocate (activist) Mr. Lee addressed the subject of peace and conflict of Mindanao Island. The attendants gave a big hand to Mr. Lee who spoke of the possibility of actual peace.
The two parties of representatives signed the contract of peace and end of war.
This historic peace pact ended with peace.


This peace contract(agreement) works to change the world from one of death to one of life.
Last Jan 25, held in Kuala Lumpur of Malaysia
Mr. Lee created a starting point to end the regional conflict.
The fact that the peace pact bringing an end to the conflict, was made not by the government of Philippines, but by another country’s peace activist has garnered a lot of attention.
Korean peace activist, Mr. Lee, has come back the Philippines.


Without him in the Mindanao area, the Philippines might still be screaming for peace, but doing so in vain.
To permanently bring peace into this area for everyone there and for those around the world
we hope that activists everywhere standup to become a bridge of peace spanning the globe.
