The Seventh Moon Hyo Jin Music Festival
On March 21, 2015 (2.2 on the Heavenly Calendar, the seventh Moon Hyo Jin Music Festival was held at the Cheon Buk Gung Museum.
True Mother shared her heart about her eldest son with the following words:
“From the moment Hyo Jin nim, your elder brother, was born, he grew up always saying, “I must be a son of filial piety.” He felt his mother did not have what a mother was supposed to have. So he would say that, as his mother had so little, he would do this and that, and do everything for his mother. He demonstrated filial piety not only through words. Hyo Jin nim thought that manpower and time were needed in order for these good teachings to be accepted. So he also thought a lot about effective ways to save people all at once, like a whirlwind. That is how he decided, “I have to change people’s minds through music and guide them to the church in this manner.” After making this decision, he wrote 10,000 songs in three years. This is impossible with human power alone. We all have physical limits. As you know, we must replenish ourselves when investing so much energy in this manner. In this characteristic he greatly resembles Father. I am mentioning this because I remember the words he said. According to him, thoughts coming into our head usually change based on the situation. In other words, people tend to betray others. However, what is experienced through the heart goes for eternity. So he would say that though witnessing through the Principle is important, for him. However, he would try to first move people’s hearts and then guide them to accept the word. That is the kind of effort he invested.”
Our brothers and sisters all around the world have a unique relationship with our elder brother Hyo Jin Moon. Many have worked closely with Hyo Jin Moon at the Manhattan Center in New York. Peter Ross shares his reflections to mark this memorial service.
