Light of Life,
the Culture of Heaven
Man Hee Lee, a descendant of the Korean royal family, who was sent from heaven as the light of love — Who is he?
The Shincheonji chairman, Man Hee Lee, was a Korean War veteran, who fought in the frontlines. Having been deeply deplored over the tragedy of the fratricidal war and the death of the citizens of his own, the chairman Lee refuses to take any money that the Korean government provides monthly for former war veterans. He is a peace activist who loves his own nation and citizens, and who vigorously runs in effort to bring peaceful unification to the Korean peninsula.
Why, why, and why did young men around the world have to die? For whom did they have to die? The sacrifice of their lives is greater than the universe. The wish of the deceased souls was surely the world peace and the restoration of light. Their wish must have been to live in a world without war and without death. Everyone living in this globe is the same family that surpasses national borders, races, or religions. Why do we have to fight against one another? Why do people have to kill others’ lives that are granted by the light, rain, and the air from heaven?
If religions of the world are united, the world will also be unified. In order for the religions to be united, all religions must be overcome by the truth. The truth of the culture of heaven belongs to heaven, and it must be given from heaven.
The chairman Lee was the first person who led the Korean New Town Movement in his hometown, Cheongdo. By having met the behind-the-scenes volunteer, Kim Nam Hee, the Mannam representative, the chairman Lee has expanded Mannam Volunteer Association not only nationwide but worldwide as well.
Furthermore, these two representatives hosted a commemorative event for the 54th Korean Memorial Day on June 6, 2009 (otherwise referred to as the First Citizens’ Festival for the Love of their Country, Love for Taeguk, Love for Moogunghwa). This festival was hosted on the road in front of the COEX Mall, Seoul, South Korea. The national flags of the 16 Korean War participating countries were made into 625 kites, and the two leaders let these kites float in the Seoul sky and prayed for the rest of the UN war veterans and the deceased souls. The two leaders determined their minds not to let the sacrifice of the veterans go in vain. In order to cherish the memory of the deceased souls, they made a large-scale Korean palm-printed flag (60 by 40 meters), which required the participation from 17,337 people--including students from elementary, middle, and high schools, and universities; citizens, soldiers, international residents, and more. This large-scale flag was put up, and the memory of the deceased souls was cherished by many Korean citizens. As Korea’s largest palm-printed flag, it has been registered in the Korean Book of Guinness, and it has been kept in the National Cemetery, Seoul.
Those two representatives held another citizens’ festival to commemorate the 65th Korean Independence Day held August 14-August 15, 2010 at Seoul Olympics Peace Plaza. This event called the Festival of World Peace, Restoration of Light, and Victory, took place in front of the Peace Gate with about 200,000 spectators and several ambassadors from different countries. This event, still considered as the flower of culture, has been something unprecedented until now. The large-scale palm-printed flag was put up high in the sky again on that day, and a laser show was performed on the background of this flag in the night sky of the event. The laser show portrayed how one person, who became a light, was added unto another light. The motto of the event was also displayed on the flag by the laser, which said, “When light meets light, there is victory.” The chairman, Man Hee Lee peace advocate, represented 33 people from various walks of life, and read aloud the declaration from the Korean Unification Monument. It seemed like the sky was going to explode by the hopeful shouts of the spectators. The Korean Unification Declaration Monuments are now standing both at the Goseong Unification Observatory, east frontlines [Korean border], and at the west frontlines, Imjingak.
Furthermore, Mannam hosted another festival to commemorate the 60th Korean War on June 26, 2010, at Sejong Cultural Center, Seoul. Korean War veterans and ambassadors from 60 Korean War participating and supporting countries were invited to cherish the memory of the deceased souls. As part of the preliminary events ahead of the actual commemoration, Mannam volunteers toured 21 locations at which the Korean War Memorial Monuments are situated including the UN Memorial Park in Busan. The volunteers paid a silent tribute to the former war veterans. At the same time roughly 14,400 elementary school students from 17 different regions in South Korea participated in printing their thumbs to make national flags of the Korean War participating countries. These thumb-printed flags were presented to the ambassadors who were in attendance of the event. On the day of the event, the ambassadors from 21 countries partook of creating a special bronze sculpture by agreeing to print their hands on it. The sculpture contains the determination from those ambassadors that they oppose warfare and desire to keep peace within this world. It is now being kept in the Yongsan War Memorial Museum, Seoul.
The participants also took part in creating a time capsule during the event. The time capsule contains the messages from the Korean War veterans, the messages of gratitude from the citizens, and the message that pictures the Korea that will have gained peace 10 years later, and so forth. This capsule is scheduled to be opened 10 years later in 2020.
The Shinchonji chairman and the Mannam representative (Kim Nam Hee) have bound the globe as one and created Mannam International that surpasses borders, races, religions, and societies. They are leading the way of the volunteers worldwide. Who could possibly accuse them of wrongdoing unless insane?
The culture of heaven has finally been launched! It is accomplishing world peace and is restoring the lost light through the volunteers who are working unnoticed and yet shining. What is the culture of heaven? It is the culture that deals with the highest spiritual world. It is the culture of heaven, the culture where God and people are at work together. It is an extraordinary philosophy that would be hard for people to believe even if they were told. It is a movement that is unseen, and it is like a gemstone that enters into people’s hearts and creates them.
Several international reporters, ambassadors, and the special supervisors of the presidents of different nations referred to this event as “the grand festival of heaven and earth.” Having been deeply inspired, they also made a remark, “The entire event was like flowers blooming at the gates of heaven.” It was a festival that only Shinchonji and Mannam were able of hosting. It served as proof how there is victory when light meets light.
More than any physical battles that kill people’s flesh, spiritual conflicts within religious organizations where people insult and label others as heretics are much cruel. Unlike those existing conflicts, the World Peace Festival truly showed the possibility of peace and the restoration of light. It was a place of unity where everyone held hands together, rising above the walls that used to separate them before.
The promised pastor in Shincheonji, the one who has overcome, received the fire of heaven from an angel. He passed it onto the 12 tribes, and the 12 tribes shot the 12 flames of the fire to the sky. The flames ignited a flame holder, and it burst into flame as the fire of God, the fire of peace and unification. This shall blaze up forever in each person’s eyes and hearts!
The World Peace Restoration of Light Culture and Sports was indeed a festival of victory as Shincheonji and Mannam have met together—as light met with light.
