The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (Family Federation / FFWPU) completed the construction of its new sanctuary building for the Gyeongsang Bukdo Headquarters in Gyeongju, and held the dedication ceremony on the 23rd.
The building for the new Headquarters of Gyeongsang Bukdo was purchased in June of 2013. It is a three-story building once used as the Shilla Vocational School, located at Sajeongro 21 in Gyeongju City. After undergoing one year and five months of renovations, the new building was ready for use. The building stands on 3105㎡of land, and has three stories above ground level. The facility includes a Grand Hall of 1000 ㎡, seminar rooms, a café, cafeteria and other amenities. This building will be used for various seminars, as well as a venue for Peace Ambassadors, multicultural families and local residents to come together in peaceful harmony and communication.
More than 500 people of political and religious backgrounds attended the dedication ceremony, including President Kyeung-Seuk Ryu, the Korean President of the FFWPU. The congratulatory remarks were given by Monk Seongta, who is the leading Buddhist monk of Bulguksa Temple in Gyeongju and Mayor Yang-Shik Choi of Gyeongju City.
FFWPU Korea President Kyeung-Seuk Ryu gave words of encouragement, asking that the Gyeongbuk HQ will diligently fulfill its purpose. He said, “Gyeongju has been the center of the 1,000- year reign of Shilla, which unified the Three Kingdoms. Buddhism flourished here from early on, and the founders of Donghak, Suoon and Choi Jewoo, as well as many other religious leaders, came from Gyeongju. This is also a historical location of prosperous religious and cultural exchange and international trade at the time of the Silk Road.”
Great Monk Seongta said in his congratulatory remarks that he strongly agrees with the spirit of the FFWPU in highlighting the importance of family. He said, "Religion must not suppress man and cause conflict. I pray for further progress through today’s dedication ceremony."
The Family Federation was founded by Rev. and Mrs. Moon in a family residence in Bukhakdong of Seongdonggu, Seoul, on May 1, 1954. The movement has since grown into a worldwide religious organization with three million followers in 194 countries.....[See the original story] [Gyeongbuk newspaper] Gyeongju Family Church True Family Couple Award - Gyeongbuk District Headquarters Building Dedication Ceremony Mayor Yang-Shik Choi and several representatives from various fields attended.
