On Feb 18, 2015 (Dec 30 on the Heavenly Calendar), the day before the 3d year of Cheon Il Guk, Heavenly Parents were welcomed to the opening ceremony of the new Chinhwa Educational Building B, in a splendid ceremony attended by some 600 members.
On this precious day, 13 days before the coming 2d Anniversary of Cheon Il Guk Foundation Day, and like a blessing from Heaven, there was a light snow in the morning which, together with a beautiful bright sky, made the day feel like Spring.
Along with Mr. and Mrs. Sun-jin Moon, International President of FFWPU, Yeo-na Moon, International President of WEWP, and Hun-sook Moon, General Director of the Universal Ballet, important participants in the ceremony included Hun-mo Nim, Rev. Kyeong-seuk Ryu, President, FFWPU Korea, Jeong-sun Jo, Hyo-yul Kim, Jin-chun Kim, Dr. Man-ho Kim, Secretary-General, FFWPU International HQ Rev. and Mrs. Yong-cheon Song, President, FFWPU Japan, Rev. Eiji Tokuno, President of Japan HQ as well as individuals from the CheongShim Chief Engineers, and leaders. Of special note, among the participants attending were the Gapyeong County Council Chairman, and members of various other councils.
True Mother encouraged everyone with her words: 'Let's build the town of Cheon Il Guk at the Cheongpyeong Holy Ground.' In line with this encouragement, the new Chinhwa Educational Building B was constructed for use as a special workshop venue for VIPs and new church members. Mr. and Mrs. Dong-gwan Bae, Facility Management Chief of the Cheongpyeong Heaven and Earth Training Center, presented flowers to True Mother, and after official photographs were taken True Mother cut the tape, thus officially opening the new Chinhwa Building.
Immediately following the tape-cutting True Mother offered a precious prayer to celebrate the dedication of the Chinhwa Educational Building B as an important step in the future direction of the Training Center. The following is the content of the prayer offered by True Mother: The prayer offered by True Mother
'Heavenly Parents, as we look forward to a future filled with hope, with the new 'eulmi' year (year of the sheep) that is now beginning, I would like to express my gratitude to You for enabling us to dedicate the second holy Chinhwa Gwan building to Heaven. Beloved Heavenly Parents and the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, how hard You have worked. You have worked so hard to find Your true children. Today is a day through which Your sons and daughters, who have gathered here, make the determination to fulfill their responsibility and calling as blessed families and to do their very best to bring not only this nation but also all humanity back into our Heavenly Parents' bosom through the grace True Parents have achieved on earth.
Our Heavenly Parents, please enable the many people that come here to realize the truth about the providence, and in accordance with the direction of their original minds, to accept True Parents' teachings and thereby become proud people that spread True Parents' true love movement to the society, nation and world. Father, please embrace all those people that come here and guide them to follow the direction of their original minds. Please open their hearts so that they may all move in the direction of advancing the day when the free, peaceful and unified world, one world under You, is realized, a world which You have pursued and hoped for, the world for which humanity has yearned for until this very day. I sincerely pray for this in the True Parents' name. Aju.
Following her beautiful prayer True Mother then entered the building and proceeded to consecrate the entire building. She began by having herself, Rev. Hyo-yul Kim, Rev. Gi-seong Lee, President of the Cheongpyeong Heaven and Earth Training Center, and Rev. Gi-seong Lee, President, FFWPU, face to the north, south east and west, respectively. She then proceeded to walk around the entire facility with great interest. On the walls of the new building there are several pictures of True Parents taken during the early times of the Cheongpyeong Holy Ground.
Those pictures are displayed in each room, in the canteen, and in the lobby. True Mother enjoyed seeing the pictures with Sun-jin Nim and Hun-suk Nim, and happily reminisced about the earlier time when those photos were taken. When True Mother arrived at the 3rd floor lobby, she spent a few minutes sitting in the cafe and enjoying the beautiful panoramic view of the scenery. She complimented that location by exclaiming: 'excellent view!' and added that 'more people must come here to the training center and continuously receive training and education.' True Mother then visited the canteen located in the basement level 1 and commented, saying: 'This place is beautifully and properly constructed.'
