There are two very important components to our life of faith: traditions and conditions. Traditions are important to keep us grow and connected to the central root of God's providence: True Parents and the Original Divine Principle.

According to Rev. Dr. Chang Shiok Yong, UM Continental Director for Asia, there basically ten traditions that we need to practice:

1. Tradition of Prayer and Jung Sung (internal condition to comfort the heart of God and True Parents, prayers for your leaders, family members, brothers and sisters 3 times a day).

2. Tradition of Hoon Dok Hae (usually done at 5 a.m.-- Reading of True Parents words).

3. Tradition of Divine Principle Lecturing -Read the Divine Principle, (all the 8 Books of True Parents)

4. Tradition of Witnessing – start with 3 spiritual children, 12, 21, 40, 120...

5. Tradition of Education (should finish 3-days seminar, 7, 21, 40)

6. Tradition of Tithing (giving back the ten per cent of whatever you earn to God. This will be reported to Philippine UM Headquarters). You may send it to:
