Note: On August 9, Dae Mo Nim spoke to the Seonghwa Students o Korea, Japan and International, who were attending the workshop, about the lifestyle that 2nd and 3rd generation must follow.
This summer, 'Seonghwa Students Chung Pyung 14-Day Special Workshop-Korea' (8/4 -- 17), 'Seonghwa Students Chung Pyung 14-Day Special Workshop-Japan' (8/6 -- 19), and the '116th Chung Pyung 40-Day Special Workshop for International 2nd Generation' (7/4 -- 8/12) were held and around 1,000 members from around the world came and received much grace.
Today the world is in a very difficult environment for the 2nd and 3rd generations to live. When we look at the children of this world, most are living wrongfully.
The 2nd and 3rd generations were born without the original sin. Therefore, the 2nd and 3rd generations must live a life centering on goodness. However, in fact, our lives today are not entirely based on goodness.
True Parents blessed us and said, "If you are with me, the hereditary sin, collective sin, individual sin and fallen nature that you have can be cleared. With Absolute Faith, Absolute Love and Absolute Obedience, you must live with One Heart, One Body and One Mind."
However, we weren't able to live like that. Thus, the evil and Satan took ownership over us. At the moment, there isn't anyone here who lives with their (original) mind. Most of their day is controlled by evil and Satan. They do not follow their (original) mind but listen to Satan and evil and thus living together with evil and Satan.
You are at a important time of your life. You mustn't follow the wrongful life that this world offers but follow the principled life that True Parents prepared for us. God is always by our side and living together with us. Also, the Absolute Good Ancestors are together with us. That is why we must lead a good life.
The reason for today's 'Chungshim International Food Festival' (8/9) is to create our own culture and not the world's. Chung Pyung is the 'Restored and Perfected Garden of Eden' so we must establish our own culture. To create a culture where you can come to Chung Pyung and dance and sing songs. A culture where you will go back to your homes and invest in your life of faith and studies after having a great time at Chung Pyung.
The Way of Becoming Filial Sons and Daughters
When you return home you must live like 2nd and 3rd generations. To do this, first you must listen to your parents really well.
Most of you don't understand how fearful and enormous the original sin is, thus, isn't really appreciative to be born as 2nd and 3rd generations. However, if you go to the spirit world and take off the original sin, you are able to be grateful to God for being a 2nd and 3rd generation. You are like the flower of flowers, the love of all loves, and a jewelry of all jewels, and a 2nd and 3rd generation who can be touched directly by God. As you follow your parents' wishes of doing well at your life of faith and studies, is the way of becoming filial sons and daughters.
A Lifestyle to Become a Heavenly Person
After your life on earth, you will go to the spirit world, an eternal world. The place you go in the spirit world is not decided by God or Satan but determined through the life that you lead while on earth.
Therefore, you shouldn't be admiring the wonderful life of this world but study hard, as you are a student, and invest in becoming a Heavenly Person that can live with True Parents. Do you understand? ("Yes!") Can you do this? ("Yes!")
When you return home, you must listen to your parents well, and put effort in establishing a true family. Parents must love their children and the child must respect their parents and become filial sons and daughters. 2nd generations must do better in their life of faith than the 1st generations. The 2nd generations must attend the 1st generations and follow their way of faith; likewise, the 3rd generations must attend the 2nd and 1st generations and follow their path of faith.
Even though you deny it today, as you grow older and become adults you will have more opportunities of building relationships with people of this world, and there is a possibility for your fallen nature to grow. The possibility of fallen nature, jealousy, anger, hate, dishonesty, greed, self-centeredness, and complaining to others can grow. However, from now, you should remove fallen nature, step by step, receive the blessing and prepare for giving birth to a beautiful child.
We mustn't drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes or do drugs. Those will result in sickness, lewdness, and unfortunates. God dislikes these things.
You mustn't have sexual intercourse. Before the blessing, you mustn't look at the other sex with lewd thoughts or even touch them. You cannot fall. Your body can only be presented to your loving husband or wife after you receive the Blessing. After becoming good men and women, you receive the blessing and love your spouse and have beautiful children.
God wants to embrace the 2nd and 3rd generations with love. That is why, I wish for you to be serious in the Holy Song Session and remove evil spirits. Once the spirits are removed, your lives will change, fallen nature will be cleared and you will be able to live as you wish for.
Please invest everything you've got so at the end of this workshop you can have the substantial feeling of 'This summer I was able to have a meaningful time' and you can leave here with the confidence of 'From 2nd semester, everyday will be beautiful filled with happiness'.
I love you. You know that I love you, don't you? ("Yes!") I will end this speech hoping that you will unite as one with true love, attend True Parents, and become a happy person and establish a happy family.
