What inspired the Chairman, who is now
entering his mid-80s, to start this movement? Something should have initiated
the wave of HWPL. In one of his interviews, Chairman Lee explains that the
terrible experiences in the Korean War gave him the determination to pursue
this peace work. As a young man in the 1950s, Chairman Lee volunteered in the
Korean War, a war that completely divided one people into two. The views of his
comrades dying right by him affected him tremendously and taught him the
disaster that a war is capable of creating. This experience influenced him to
start this peace movement to end all wars. Although some wars are caused by
political difference, some wars are also caused by religions. This is why the
Chairman proposes few solutions. The enactment of an international law and the
unification of all religion under one creator. This was a lifelong dedication
of Chairman Lee that finally blossomed at this era. And the world hopes to see
many other peace movements under the visions of HWPL and Chairman Lee to happen
in various places of the world.
Wow.. I've seen the pictures and movies about Korean war.. It was terrible and sad.. If I were Chairman Lee, I couldn't do anything but escape from the trauma... So..His story makes me take actions.. I hope to end all wars!!
