A Voice to Fulfill Peace
There have been many voices to change the world into a better place.
Voices urging for
Equality
Voices urging for
Freedom
Voices urging for
Human Rights
And there have been many voices calling for Peace.
But
PEACE has
yet to be achieved.
Among countless vague voices calling for peace,
there was one convincing voice to form the shape of peace.
It is the "Declaration of World Peace" proclaimed for the first time in history.
On May 25, 2013, at the Peace Gate in Seoul, Republic of Korea, People who love peace had their ears and eyes glued to this very site.
On this day, HWPL Chairman Man Hee Lee proclaimed the 'Declaration of World Peace', reflecting the hearts of everyone yearning for peace.
“
The life that grows on the earth is sustained from above - by light, by rain, and by the air provided unconditionally to all living beings. •••
With this eternal gift - the grace and life we have received - are we entitled to fight, kill, and destroy one another? We cannot claim to desire peace and continue to provoke one another, causing conflict for the sake of
valuing our own national interests above those of others.
This will only take the lives of the youth, wasting them in the futility of war. This is not a legacy we can leave to future generations.
- Excerpt from the 'Declaration of World Peace' -
”
The Declaration of World Peace is not merely a statement calling for peace. But it is a
promise for all humanity to keep and the beginning of an era of peace.
Since the proclamation, voices searching for peace became harmonized with HWPL and
the fruit of peace is borne as the promise of the Declaration.
The first pledge of the Declaration,
“ to sign an international agreement We call on the heads of state of every country
- a commitment bringing all wars to an end.
We ask them to do this from a spirit of deep-seated love for the people of their countries.
