Everyone here today is an important guest. A new day, Foundation Day in the second year of Cheon Il Guk, has dawned. I would like to express my gratitude to all the distinguished guests from home and abroad and our beloved members that have contributed to the development of the Wonmo Pyeongae Foundation in different respects. I would particularly like to thank National Assembly Member Eul-dong Kim, who always stays by my side with a heart of love and encouragement. I would also like to thank the chairman, Dr. Min-ha Kim, for his dedication and commitment toward the development of the Wonmo Pyeongae Foundation for the past year.
This occurred to me while watching the opening ceremony of the Sochi Winter Olympics a few days ago. For Russia, a nation raised within the Christian realm, to become what it is today, it left a history that is opposite to that of its original direction. As I watched the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, all nations desired development centered on one's own nation. It is also true that they have sought goodness. Why has human history had so many ups and downs?
While watching, I wondered what would have happened had those people met centered on True Parents. We must attend God, our Creator throughout our lives. Yet, when we look back at history, this has not been easy. Thus, the long providence became inevitable. The beginning and end of our Almighty God must be the same. Why, then, has it taken such a long time? That is because man has responsibilities.
Even though the history of humanity's existence has been long, none could go to Heaven because the key problem could not be resolved. However, all of you who have come here today know True Parents. You could learn that the basis to the kingdom of heaven is families established through True Parents. Christian churches say that you will go to Paradise if you believe in Jesus. We, however, believe it to be a place to which parents and siblings go together. True Parents are the ones that resolved this problem and showed us the way.
Without knowing True Parents, realizing your dream of one world is far-fetched. Our dream is approaching us realistically. We know the highway to one world because we have attended True Parents. What do you think will happen to this nation and the world in ten years?
Was there any nation that recognized the Republic of Korea years ago? Korea is indebted to Heaven for its rapid growth. For every single one of you, putting beliefs into practice is important. Will you do that? You can become the owners of history through ownership and parental heart. That is why True Parents will raise the Wonmo Pyeongae Foundation to a greater level. It will become an organization from which all humanity can benefit. However, do you think I can achieve this all by myself? I believe that we should all join hands and move forward together. I hope you can partake in this and invest everything in your capability toward the fostering of future leaders within this society and neighboring nations.
The Wonmo Pyeongae Foundation will continue its work to establish the Seonhak Prize, a prize that could greatly surpass the Nobel Prize. As a group that works for the will of Heaven and peace for humanity instead of the honor of an individual or group, the Wonmo Pyeongae Foundation will come to be in a historic position.
I would like to conclude my message with the hope that you all greatly contribute to all projects under th Wonmo Pyeongae Foundation, become partners and participants in its great vision and work hard, thereby being in precious positions that can remain through history.
