Aggressive way to mourning.

How does Ramon Poo Gil, the mayor of Veracruz of Mexico, know Mr. Man Hee Lee?
And what makes them award the appreciation letter and medal to him?

The beginning was Nov, 2013. 
Mr. Man Hee Lee took the lead and HWPL(Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light) conducted Peace Walk and Peace Seminar on Tijuana, Mexico.
It was pan-national event.
A lot of youth group and about 1,000 citizen participated.
At that time, citizens were much impressed of the event.
So, Veracruz mayor and one couple urged Mr. Man Hee. Lee coming to Mexico again.
The beginning, so to speak, peace walk.

The same as Tijuana, Busan had a peace walk last sunday, 25th May. 2014.
HWPL conducted it to inform the tragedy of war and don't let the youth be sent to battlefield again.
On that day, about 5,000 people gathered.
I was in the 5,000.
We listen to peace messages from various speakers.
We absorbed in their speeches, and cheered.
It was like a festival.

Mourning who passed away during war may have to express sorrow and keep calm.
Though, to stop the regrettable death may have to take more stronger attitude than just mourning.
Change our mind listening to the message of peace, and take a action for peace.
I think the one who have an experience in peace activities, he will show an enthusiastic attitude.

World peace in itself should be the prize.

This afternoon, there was a huge marching event at UN memorial park of Busan, Korea.
UN memorial park is only one in the world.
At there, the 1st Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace was!
I finally saw the peace advocate, Man hee Lee!
I wonder when did he come back from Mexico.
I wrote he was given a letter of appreciation from Veracruz mayer, just yesterday!
And as far as I concerned, there was much schedule after the award.
He truly move around world just for peace.
If I could go to Mexico, I went sightseeing there. But he just did the peace activities.

I heard his thoughts directly about the award.
I couldn't write down what he said, so it wouldn't  be the same he had spoken exactly.

Receiving awards is not the prize of peace activity.
World peace in itself should be the prize. 

So humble, but I can feel the confidence to world peace from his speech.
The crowd seemed like they felt the same as me, a great cheer went up from the crowd.

A letter of appreciation was presented to Man hee. Lee

20th, May, the letter of appreciation and medal were presented to Man hee, Lee from Ramon  poo gil, the mayor of Veracruz, Mexico.


At the place, there was numerous statesmen, spiritual leaders including religious leaders, and key personnels.
They gave a big hand to Man hee. Lee for granting appreciation letter.

Veracruz is supposed to be a doorway to Mexico.
Historically, when Mexico was attacked by Spain and U.S.A, armies were sailed into the Veracruz harbour.
So, It is noticeable for presenting appreciation letter from Veracruz for world peace.
Now I realize how desperate Mexico is for world peace, seeing that they give the letter of appreciation to not native person, Man hee. Lee.

On this day, Man hee. Lee said,"The genuine peace is not only the cesession of war, but also creating the world as calm and harmonious to live and have society without corruption.
Therefore, for the world peace, we have to keep living delivering the peace messages to all over the world like waves.
There have to be no pain nor sickness in the world, because all are overflowing with the peace and blessing."

I wish the world be just like Man hee. Lee said.

How can we make Inner peace?

I haven't been able to work at all the last couple of days.
The beginning was getting a fishbone stuck in my throat.
I treat that with folk remedy to swallow food. But that didn't work.
My throat is swollen.

I thought of this quote in this picture.
First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring peace to others, said by Thomas a Kempis.

I think peace is not related body situation. 
Because, peace advocate achieve regardless of their condition.
It is more mental power and belief than feeling that peace is good.
And the belief and willpower is from confidence having the material or matters to execute of accomplishing peace.
Actually, I came out this thought arised from thinking a peace advocate, Man Hee Lee.
He's in his mid 80's. And I saw articles that the schedule of his peace movement was so tight to carry out.
But he made the peace agreement in Mindanao.
Maybe there would be a chance to interview him, I want to ask what makes you so aggressively.
I want to be like him.

Pray for South Korea, Ferry Disaster.

「Tremendously sad being bereaved of child, all of a sudden.
They give us psychological support services and stabilization of livelihood measures
to gain people's trust and heart.
It seems retrieving bodies from the accident area takes second place to show the measures.
There are some bodies still remained.」

It has been 21days from the Sewol Ferry accident.
The accident occured 16th April. 2014.
The total number of people on board was  476. 174 have been rescued, 264 were dead, 38 are still missing. (7th May now)

There were so much time to rescue, but they spend time to have meetings, briefings, and promotion to the nation.
There are some doubtful aspect to the investigation. The head of investigative agency involved in Sewol ferry. It has found that they offer some expedience to the rescued crews. So they got time to have arranged beforehand to tell the same story.
People say this is visible signs of the darkness caused by rapid economic growth  in the korean society.

I spent a few days to sit back and mope.
It seems there are no one to trust. I blamed lack of ability. And we have lots of insane person cheating in this chaotic situation.
I was in dark but I saw these light from world.
High school students in Virginia, U.S.A wear yellow ribbon, means condolences to the passed, on their breast. They have met at no time. It's 11,495km from Jin-do to Virginia. But they say they won't forget them, the death.
Also, on the web, Hash tag on twitter uploaded dozens in a second.
Some university students hold candle light rallies.
Else, light from the world turn on every minutes.
