[HWPL] A Journey Toward Global Peace: From the Frontlines to a World Without War
1. A Miraculous Survival and a Divine Calling
My journey began not in a hall of power, but in the humble fields of a rural farm. During the Korean War, I faced the horrors of the frontlines—starvation, exhaustion, and the brink of death. When I was left for dead, it was the unexpected help of UN forces that saved my life. This miraculous survival led me to a path of deep gratitude and prayer. Following a profound spiritual experience of light that appeared three nights in a row, my life was forever redirected toward a singular, heavenly mission: Peace.

2. Turning Conflict into Harmony: The Mindanao Miracle
Peace is not a vague concept; it is a practical necessity. In Mindanao, Philippines—a region torn by 40 years of conflict and 120,000 lives lost—we didn't just talk about peace; we acted. By bringing leaders and citizens together for honest, blunt dialogue, we bridged the gap. Today, where there were once battlefields, there are now peace monuments and schools. This experience proved that when humanity strives and Heaven helps, the "impossible" becomes reality.

3. The World Peace Tour: 32 Journeys for Humanity
Without peace, the global community faces an inevitable end. Recognizing this, I embarked on 32 World Peace Tours, meeting with presidents, prime ministers, and grassroots leaders across the Pacific, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. My message has always been consistent: War impacts everyone equally, and therefore, peace must be our universal priority. We must move beyond national and religious borders to protect our global home.

4. Restoring the Creator’s Vision in Our Lifetime
We often think of peace as a gift for the next generation, but it is a duty we must fulfill in *our* lifetime. In every country I visited, from Ethiopia to South Africa, I made "brothers" regardless of age or status. The Creator’s heart is to restore a broken world. While human strength has its limits, when we align our efforts with the will of Heaven, we find the wisdom to heal what has been destroyed.

5. The Path to Reunification: Breaking Barriers
In the context of the Korean Peninsula, reunification is not just a political goal—it is a restoration of family. Why should a land passed down by our ancestors remain divided? True reunification begins with the freedom of movement. When we allow people to see, talk, and walk across borders freely, the walls of misunderstanding naturally crumble. Peace is found in the simple act of letting brothers and sisters meet again.

6. Why Peace Transcends Religion
Religion should never be a wall that divides us; it should be the light that guides us toward harmony. In my view, peace is even more vital than religious labels. Most scriptures, including the Bible, emphasize peace dozens of times. If we are truly people of faith, we must stop boasting or quarreling and instead unite under the banner of love. A religion that does not promote peace has lost its way.

7. Becoming a "Person of Goodness"
Peace begins with character. Whether one is Buddhist, Christian, or of any other faith, the world needs people who are dignified, gentle, and kind. We are living in a pivotal era where the "old" world of conflict is fading, making way for a "new" era of harmony. To be part of this new era, we must lead by example—becoming teachers of peace through our daily actions and good deeds.

8. An Invitation: Let Us Become One in Love
Peace will not "fall from the sky" without our effort. It is achieved through the collective strength of our minds, hearts, and actions. I invite you all—regardless of your background—to join this movement. Let us forgive as we have been forgiven, love as we have been loved, and work together to leave a legacy of a war-free world for our children.
