“If the founder’s revelation was emphasized in the early days, from now on, we must become a religion that is accepted and wanted by the local community. We will become a religion that can benefit the nation and a religion that is needed by the people.” Prior to the Third Seonghwa (ascension) Memorial of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, late founder of Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) scheduled to be held on August 30, FFWPU Korean President Kyeung-Seuk Ryu (52) explained, “For the past three years, FFWPU has focused on building a foundation to carry out activities as a religious organization.” On August 25, President Ryu held a press conference at the Korea Press Center in Jung-gu, Seoul and revealed, “There are more than 1,000 books on the FFWPU. We have compiled them into three scriptures, established the Cheon Il Guk Constitution (Canon Law) and composed an administrative organization called the Supreme Council.” This is to declare that the FFWPU, which expands globally to 194 nations throughout the world, shall transform its structure centered on Rev. Moon’s wife Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon. He specifically emphasized to communicate with society centering on the family and the community. The FFWPU faces the fact that humanity’s greatest happiness lies in the family and exemplifies this point in a practical manner. We will provide a solution to the Korean families who are facing a crisis today. President Ryu is a FFWPU second generation member who was born in a family joined together through the Holy Marriage Blessing hosted by Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon. He is the first second generation member to be Korean President, a position symbolizing a significant landmark in the FFWPU.

“In comparison with existing peace prizes, which select those who have contributed to peace in the past as their laureates, the Sunhak Peace Prize intends to focus on the ‘peace of the future.’ This is the reason why we have selected President Tong and Dr. Gupta, who have taken initiatives in combating climate change and curtailing the food crisis, as the laureates.” Kyeung-Seuk Ryu, the Korean President of Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU, Unification Church) stated as above at a press conference held on August 25 in Taepyeong-ro, Seoul. The FFWPU has selected President Anote Tong of Kiribati, a small island nation in the South Pacific and Dr. Modadugu Vijay Gupta, an Indian biologist, as laureates of the First Sunhak Peace Prize. The Sunhak Peace Prize established by FFWPU, advocating as a “Korean Nobel Peace Prize,” is a prize given to individuals or groups who have contributed significantly to the peace and welfare of future generations. They picked out the middle Chinese characters from the names of Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon. The laureates will be awarded a monetary prize of $1,000,000 (approximately 1,100,000,000 won), which is by far the largest amount given with a single peace award. Starting from this year, Sunhak Peace Prize laureates will be selected every year.
