Holy Song Session for Purification Azalea Festival

The ‘2009 Purification Azalea Festival Special Great Workshop for the Inheritance of Heavenly Fortune’ (Purification Azalea Festival) started from 6:40 pm, on May 1. The Purification Azalea Festival will be held for 3 days from May 1 - 3. Many exciting programs are prepared, for example, the ‘Chungshim Baby Contest’, Special Lectures by elderly members, Dae Mo Nim’s Words, the Prayer-Wish Purification Ceremony for Restoration and so on.

The HSA-UWC/FFWPU 55th Anniversary Celebration and Rally to Establish the True Peace Parent UN was also held on the same day at the Main Hall of Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center centering on True Parents.

The Orientation for the Purification Azalea Festival started from 6:40 pm, which was lead by Rev. Dong-bae Kim, Lecturer from the International Team. The crowd was still overwhelmed by the event which was held earlier with True Parents, but Rev. Kim started the orientation by explaining the important mindsets of Chung Pyung Works. He said that when members can work with, ‘Sincerity and love, based on fact without falseness, with sacrifice and devotion, be diligent,’ you are able to inherit everything that Chung Pyung has to offer.

Then, there was a lecture given by Rev. Myeong-gwan Lee, Director for the Department of Education and Planning, titled, and ‘Grace of the Purification Azalea Festival’. In his lecture, he gave Dae Mo Nim’s words;

‘Everything in Heaven was beautiful but the first thing that caught my eyes were the lilacs and azaleas. That is why I planted over 1 million royal azaleas in Chung Pyung Holy Ground.’

In the end, he wished that all members could receive the full grace of the 4th Purification Azalea Festival and inherit Heavenly Fortune.

The first Holy Song Session was then held at the Main Hall and Small Hall, which was fully packed in both halls. Members did their best in the Holy Song Session, keeping in mind that the whole 360 billion Absolute Good Spirits and angels were mobilized for removing evil spirits from their bodies and fallen nature.

After a great session of the Holy Song Session, there was the 2nd lecture given by Rev. Yeong-ho Ha, President of Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center. Rev. Ha explained the ‘Path of Witnessing through Heavenly Fortune’ centering on Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center. He emphasized that the key for eternal happiness and for the establishment of Cheon Il Guk, is simply witnessing. That God has placed Absolute Good Ancestors with specific instructions to do witnessing, and when we are able to do so with our Absolute Good Spirits, amazing miracles will happen.

With so many people attending the Purification Azalea Festival, the night time prayer at Jeongshim Won (Prayer Hall) was held in the Main Hall and Small Hall, which concluded 11 pm.

The first day of the Purification Azalea Festival started without any problems, members with great hopes and great expectations.
