[151] Words of Hak Ja Han Book 1 - Global Unity Through True Parents Part 5 : Educating the Second Generation and Training Future Leaders Chapter 2 : Educating Second Generation Leaders
1. Universal Peace Academy (UPA) - 3
I wholeheartedly welcome you, the 43 students of the Universal Peace Academy. For three years, beginning from today, you will be able to experience the truth, and so many other things. Through this experience, your lives will come to fulfill the mission of serving as beacons to all of humanity.
The great Indian poet Tagore wrote a beautiful poem about Korea. He praised Korea, saying that it will become a lamp for all people, which will appear to illuminate the East, and thus the world. Such a history is being written today through you. God and the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind blessed Korea as the homeland of God. But simply saying it is in this position is not enough. The current leaders and people in charge have a mission to carry out. I have said that Korea must become God's homeland by 2020.
Do you think that will come about just by saying it? You need to endeavor to make that happen. You need to move. You, who were reborn through the Truth and the Word, need to become beacons to the world. The students who have enrolled in this academy today will have their names recorded on the first page of history. How long Heaven and humankind have waited for this day! I hope you will understand this fact, study hard and live earnestly. Heaven will help you. You must not become indebted to God or to humankind.
Your youth and passion will serve as a catalyst and as pillars in the construction of Cheon Il Guk. Our goal has now become clear. We must endeavor to complete this providence until we breathe our last, and achieve it at all costs. You have been established in the position of the first fruits of the work of constructing Cheon Il Guk. (2013.03.04, Sunhak Universal Peace Graduate University) |
