WASHINGTON, USA – Man Hee Lee, chairman of Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) this year wished for each other’s safety and peace amid the darkness cast “over us by an unexpected COVID-19 pandemic, the fear of the coronavirus completely overturned our lives and continues to blind us from the moments of hope at times.”
He continued: “Although the reality we face today may seem like a long pitch-dark tunnel, there is no need to be afraid if we have the light called “hope.” Even if it is a thin lining, the light will outshine the darkness as a profound hope. That light of the world is you, as you work for peace by joining the efforts to build a peaceful world free of war to guarantee peace in the future. Your brave and sincere heart toward all mankind is breathing life into peace. Surely, the heart of all, who have worked hand in hand with HWPL for peace, will blossom into a flower called the culture of peace in different parts of the world.
“Due to the rampant COVID-19, we could not gather to meet in person at the HWPL World Peace Summit. However, this can serve as an opportunity for us to reflect upon the year that has passed from where we stand through various means and encourage and comfort each other. Furthermore, for the upcoming year of 2021, we will be striving to lay out a plan to realize peace by discussing and examining what we can do. These steps we take for peace, which will forever go down in history as the lasting light, will continue until we reach our goal.”
Chairman Lee advised respected members of the family for peace, [thousands of HWPL members] that have been making a practical contribution to resolving the pandemic by having several rounds of donating blood plasma, said: “Let us hope together for the swift development of treatment and vaccine against COVID-19 and wish together for the good health and safety of those who have been taking part in the endeavours’ for peace.”
“We have the answer to peace,” chairman Lee explained: “We are not alone, as we have the two wings of the International Peace Youth Group (IPYG) and the International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) collaborating with us for our shared goal,” added “when every individual of our worldwide coalition for peace become one, what we have been hoping for will become a reality. Let us pass down a world of peace as a legacy to the generations to come. We are one,” he said.
