Filial Piety To True Parents
While attending True Mother over the past few
years, I have learned so many important lessons
and gained so many deep insights from True
Mother and by reading True Father’s words
through Hoon Dok Hae. True Mother absolutely
mastered every level of true love, faith andobedience. I marvel at her character and her
example. Time and again, I am profoundly movedby the depth of her heart and her amazing strength
to love unconditionally. No matter what kind of
situation or difficulty she faces, True Motheralways places Heavenly Parent’s heart and Will as
her first priority. Her entire life is dedicated to theprovidence, and she offers devotion day and nightfor this purpose. Together with True Father, and as
the substantial self of true love, she is our guiding
light and model for our movement to steadily
advance forward to substantiate Cheon Il Guk.
True Father and True Mother have persistently
walked and paved the path of the providence
together as our eternal True Parents. For the past
three years, we faced many difficulties andchallenges. Some became confused and uncertain
about their path and struggled with their faith. Even
I was discouraged many times by the people andcircumstances that created division in our family.
Yet, True Mother never wavered or lost sight of her
mission to substantially complete True Father’s
will here on earth. She did not get caught-up in the
petty fray. She did not lower herself by spreading
blame, hate, and anger. Rather she took the path oftrue love, praying, hoping, unconditionally loving
and taking responsibility for all the things that we
did not or could not do. These are the actions of aTrue Parent, a true leader, one who takes absoluteresponsibility and makes substantial change by theprinciples of true love and by vertically centering
oneself to Heavenly Parent’s heart and will. We
can see the results of True Mother’s determinationand leadership. Her absolute true love, rooted inher spiritual communion with True Father, enabled
our movement not only to survive, but also toflourish, and rise to a new level. As we approach
this 3rd Anniversary, we can feel and see that a
new age is dawning. We, who are living at thistime, are truly blessed. We have all been blessed,
liberated, and united as brothers and sisters under

our Heavenly Parent and True Parents, living as
one family centered on true love.
Through True Mother’s guidance, we have learned
that we can only be victorious by practicing true
love, and that in order to fulfill the ideal of true
love we must achieve unity and we must also
practice forgiveness. In this way, we can create aculture of true love and peace. This will not happen
all by itself. It is our responsibility. It is up to eachone of us to create a culture of heart, a culture oftrue love. Whenever she speaks, True Motheralways expresses her love and concern for the
younger members and future generations.
Regarding the establishment of our Cheon Il Guk
culture, she said the following:
To substantiate our dreams, we must prepare forthe future. Hence, the future generations of ourUnification community must grow well and workon creating and completely establishing the CheonIl Guk culture.
Through these words, True Mother emphasizes theimportance of living for the sake of others, andleaving a greater legacy for future generations. In
addition, she is calling each of us to commit
ourselves to sharing this vision and expanding our
movement to all of Heavenly Parent’s children allover the world. Only when the world is united as
one family under Heavenly Parent can we build theKingdom of Heaven on earth, which God has solonged for throughout all the ages. So how do wecome together as one global family? We can only
become one by practicing absolute true love, faithand obedience to Heavenly Parent and True
Parents. We all know that it is only because of True
Parents that we can be given the grace andsalvation to be blessed central family members. We
also know that there can be no children or family
without parents. That is why we must love andrespect our parents. True Father taught us oncountless occasions about how to become filial
children.
Then who is the son of filial piety? Even thoughparents tried to raise their children up with awholehearted effort, if the children don't appreciatethem, the family will perish. When a reciprocalbase is established between the parents and thechildren, God can dwell in that family and build theKingdom of Heaven" - True Father ‘Blessing and
Ideal Family’
We can show the deepest gratitude and love to ourTrue Parents by becoming their true filial sons anddaughters by sincerely walking the road of absolute
true love, faith and obedience with joy.

Make True Love Your Greatest Purpose
Beloved and respected brothers and sisters, let thisbe a time for each of you to reflect on your life andto re-dedicate yourself to taking responsibility tobuild a better future for all humanity. So how can
we become true sons and daughters? By cultivating
our minds, hearts and bodies to manifest true loveand gratitude and by offering our unique gifts to all
humankind and creation. Through our True
Parents’ teachings, we have come to know theessence of our truest identity. The seed, the originof all life was sown with true love.
CSG6: “We were born in love, raised by ourparents in love, and we learn to love our spouse.
We give birth to our children and raise them inlove; we love our family and then our tribe. In thisway we connect to the wider world of love, from
our individual love all the way to the love of God.
In other words, love is like the water that begins asa small mountain stream, flows to the sea andbecomes a great ocean current that rejuvenates theglobe. It makes for a world of love, which
rejuvenates nations of love, tribes of love, andfamilies of love and individuals of love.”
When we realize that we have been loved andblessed from the beginning of time and throughout
our lives we can only respond with gratitude. If we
can cultivate such a grateful heart, we are thenalways filled with love in our hearts and we areable to give and spread love to others. If you takethis gift and couple it with your youthful energy
and your sense of purpose you get the formula for
the infinite potential and the power to change theworld. You are the embodiment of this miraculous
hope; you have the amazing potential, and you are
the incredible living and lasting legacy of Heavenly
Parent’s and TP’s absolute TL. Many times in our
growth period, we may feel unworthy, insufficient,imperfect, or incomplete. However, those are justemotions and thoughts. The truth of who we are isthat we are the astonishing gift of life and true lovethat Heavenly Parent has longed to see realized
throughout human history, and made possible by
our True Parents. Yes! Here we are! So whatshould we do with such an astounding gift? As theprinciple of creation teaches us, we are here to
love, be filled with joy and live in peace andhappiness. Only true love can restore this suffering
world to one of joy.
Happiness will begin in the world when people canlive based on love. The things people want toattain, such as perfection and the realization of theirideals, cannot be achieved without love. That is
why everything in the universe exists on the basisof love. Everything in creation began through theoriginal love of God.” (137-207, 1986.1.3)
True Parents have always taught the younger
generation---each one of you---to focus on growing
and developing your heart and character, realizing
your unique value, and having a clear
understanding of your purpose in life and achievingthat goal with passion.
By making true love the purpose, focus, and thecore of our lives, it will be the source of endlessblessings and it will become the wellspring andsource of honor, success, resilience, creativity,
harmony and dignity. Please reflect deeply on thefollowing teachings of True Parents.
All great leaders in history had a definite sense of
purpose in life from the time they were children.
From childhood they nurtured that purpose held
within their hearts and exerted great energy toachieve it. Whether they were sleeping or playing
with their friends, every youthful action of thesegreat leaders was geared toward preparing for thestage that they would stand on in the future. Is that
how you are living your life? – True Father ‘As A
Peace Loving Global Citizen.’
By understanding this essential principle taught by
True Parents, we can come to understand the basic
and elementary force of the universe. Once you
understand your true origin, you begin to see whata miracle of life and what a precious treasure you
are in all the world. You are Heavenly Parent’s andTrue Parent’s blessed children. Inside each andevery one of you there is the divine light and sparkof Heavenly Parent’s true love. This unique gift oflife is an irreplaceable force filled with uniquetalents and diverse abilities that express Heavenly
Parent’s love and joy to all humanity. Our growth
period should be one that reflects this joy, in
discovery and learning. It should be a time when
we cultivate our exceptional talents and achieve
mastery. With each breath you take, and during
each moment, and every experience Heavenly
Parent can share and participate on your journey torealize your unique gifts. Your path and inimitableability when cultivated and united with our global
family can create synergy and energy to change theworld. Here are TFs words of guidance.
“There is, however, something more important thanstudying to prepare for the future. Before
unconditionally focusing entirely on studies, young
people must realize what they want to do in life.
They must make a determination to use their talents
to help the world rather than just serve themselves.
Many young people today seem to be studying justfor its own sake. Unless you have a purpose in life,3

your studies will lack the passion needed forhappiness.” –True Father ‘As A Peace Loving
Global Citizen’“To set your objective is to give meaning to the life
you will lead.” – True Father ‘As A Peace Loving
Global Citizen
As long as True Love is the center of what you
choose as a goal in your life, God will be there
working along side you in your chosen field. You
are the change we hope for in this world. The
combination of your youth and your wisdom of thevalue of true love opens infinite possibilities toachieve whatever you dream. What you dream andhow you bring that to waking reality is the god-like
power Heavenly Parent bequeathed to each of you
as your 5% responsibility. This is the unique life
potential that makes it possible for you to become aperson who manifests goodness, true love, andmastery in your chosen field. You carry this divine
light and power of Heavenly Parent. You have thepotential to leave the world a better place than you
found it for countless generations to come. The
future is your noble choice and your dreams, once
realized, can be the source of salvation and grace
for countless others. We are the proud, the hope,and absolute filial sons and daughters of our
Heavenly Parent and True Parents. We are blessed
Central families, who are absolutely centered on
our Heavenly Parent and True Parents, possessing
true love, true life and true lineage. We should
rejoice, praise, and raise each other up to be morejoyful and bring this glorious light of true love toall the world. When you love who you truly are,when you can see the miracle of who you are, you
become aware that this divine light in you is also in
all other living beings, because everything increation was created out of love. When we start tocultivate and open our eyes to this truth we cannot
help but to reciprocate this joy and gift to all otherliving beings.
CSG2: Our path is the way of love. It is one path,whether an individual walks it or a family walks it.
The way of love is the same for both. East or West,
whatever one’s race or nation, the way of love isthe same for all. The direction does not differ.
Between the path of love for the individual and thepath of love for the family only the number ofpeople is different; the way is the same. It is one
road with the same focal point. It is the path ofGod’s love. Our birth is rooted in God’s love. We
all were born within an amazing path of love,
which is connected to the cosmos and rooted in theoriginal love within our parents. Even after the
Fall, this root holds strong. Our tendency to pursue
goodness and our desire to add value remains. It iswhat makes historical restoration possible. Thatorigin within us can foster new development.
When True Mother gave us the vision 2020, it waswith the goal of spreading Heavenly Parent’s andTrue Parents’ teaching of true love to all 7 billion
people of the world. This was the blessing True
Father gave to all the blessed central families, to betribal messiahs and bring the blessing and divine
truth to all of Heavenly Parent’s lost children. If weknow that true love is the key to end all suffering
and unconscious destructive behavior ofhumankind, why is it so difficult to practice andspread? It is natural to think of oneself first, ourfirst instinct is self-preservation. But what make us
think of others? It is higher consciousness,maturity, and listening to one’s true conscience thatis the divine spark in your soul. Once you realizethat your origin is love, you will see that all thingsin the universe are giving, loving and supporting
you unconditionally, and that the goal of your lives
should be joy, goodness, fulfillment, gratitude,
kindness and peace. In this way, there comes abouta shift in that individual thinking. We enter therealm of true love and true happiness filled with
Heavenly Parent’s divine light and we come toknow that we should share that light with others.
We should have the heart of gratitude and love toreturn and pay forward all the blessings we havebeen given. We are one global family underHeavenly Parent and True Parents. We should
develop our hearts to love all our brothers andsisters around the world. This is the core of all love
the Give and Take action of harmony and balance.
This is the principle of true love, living for the sakeof others.
CSG14: In order to get to the kingdom of heaven,
we first need to collect all kinds of Godcentered
love. We must gather the love of the family, thelove of the nation and the love of the world, andthen go to the kingdom of heaven and unite with
God. When we unite with God on this foundation,
everything will orbit around God. How do wehuman beings arrive at the place where God’s love
dwells? We must go the way of a filial child, theway of a patriot, the way of a world saint, and theway of a son or daughter of God. Then when wearrive at the place where God’s greatest love
dwells, we will settle there. For anyone born as ahuman being, this is the happiest way and the wayof ultimate perfection. Everything is designed toreach this realm.
Education, practice, and good karmic action are thekeys to honing our ability to love and create morejoy. The study of the word, holy texts and Hoon
Dok Hae, illuminate the path of true love, making it
4

possible for us to graduate to higher levels ofthought by learning the wisdom and truth True
Parents’ have already given us. In this way we do
not have to re-invent the wheel, so to speak.
We cannot teach others unless we have true
wisdom and mastery within ourselves. No one but
True Parents have this mastery. However with ahumble heart and the will to learn, one can masteranything over time and then share the successes
with others. If you are not perfect, it’s OK, there isa growth period to all things. Just practice andstudy with more sincerity; do not doubt yourself;
do not doubt others; have faith in all, and you will
get there. When you do get to the realm of ultimate
perfection or enlightenment, share your wisdomand help others achieve that and more. If you arepracticing true love, it should not be in a spirit ofcompetition; rather it should be with a heart thathopes and acts so that all can be brought toheavenly completion. True happiness is not when
you win and someone else is at a loss. In True
Parent’s heart, we all must win and achieve victory
as one family under Heavenly Parent. Can you
imagine an environment that practiced this level oftrue love; this is Cheon Il Guk. If we are to realize
it, we must practice the way of true love in all wedo.
CSG22: In our life on earth, there is a right path forhuman beings to follow. What is that right path? It
is the path that is good for individuals, for families,
tribes, peoples, nations, the world, the cosmos, andeven for God Himself. We all have to advanceupon this path. This path is the one and only way oforiginal love.
When we perfect ourselves as individuals, it thenapplies to a perfected life as a couple, a family,
tribe, nation, world and cosmos and even God. Thisis the meaning of oneness. We all started fromHeavenly Parent’s love, and when we are savedwith the truth of true love, we then know our
purpose is to reciprocate this love with all divine
beings to even finally reach and bring joy to
Heavenly Parent’s heart. When we live for oneness,
we transcend who we are as blessed central
families, our own family, tribal or nationalboundaries, space, time, to reach the ultimate
peace, God.
I became a completely different person when I
began to love God. I loved humanity more thanmyself and was more concerned with the problemsof others than the problems of my family. I loved
everything that God created. I deeply loved thetrees on the hills and the fish in the waters. My
spiritual senses developed so I could discern God’s
handiwork in all things of creation. As I waschanging my heart to conform to God’s love, I also
strengthened my body so that I could fulfill mymission.” –True Father ‘As A Peace Loving Global
Citizen’True love is the source of true life, peace, and joy
and the core starting point of all virtues such ascompassion, patience, humility, diligence,
generosity, growth and change.
All life, all living beings and things, are extensions
or manifestations of our Heavenly Parent. True
Parents have brought this truth to life and they havepracticed and perfected this truth. That truth is
Heavenly Parent’s heart of true love, true life, andtrue lineage, showing us the path to true peace andprosperity for the world. One way to learn about
Heavenly Parent’s heart is to love and learn
through nature, this beautiful earth, the planetary
home we share, our globe, the creation of our
Heavenly Parent that sustains and gives us all thenourishing gifts that allow us to live. How can wegive back and care for all these natural wonders
and precious resources. All knowledge, secular or
religious, points to a creator and to the natural lawsthat require that we keep harmony, balance,
homeostasis, in all areas of life. Higher awareness,
opening the lens of our consciousness to see
Heavenly Parent’s light in all living things is our
responsibility. From the appreciation of thesmallest gifts, we can realize the abundance of theuniverse and foster a greater heart of gratitude. In
this way we can take care of what cares for us all
every moment. Would you like to try this?
Let us take this time to join hands and take a short
meditation by focusing on our breathing.
Gently close your eyes and inhale and exhale. As
you inhale, feel the belly and chest expand and as
you exhale feel the release of all that no longer
serves you. When we inhale we breathe O2 which
gives us life, and when we exhale, we let out CO2that no longer serves our life. As we inhale O2 wetake in a gift from all the green life in nature; as we
exhale CO2 we give back to the trees and plant life.
In this simple act of breathing, something we doevery moment, we are being unconditionally loved,
supported, cared for and nurtured by creation. If
we pay attention to all life in the universe, we begin
to realize there is give and take action, harmony,and interconnectedness in all things. Learning to
pay to attention to all these miraculous gifts of lifethat Heavenly Parent gives us is the start of an
attitude of gratitude. Think of our body, eachorgan, the circulatory system and respiratory
system that carries this oxygen and Co2 in and out
of our body each moment. What a miracle of life
we are; our body automatically sustains all our
5living functions. Whether we choose to pay
attention to it or not, our body and all creation live
for our wellbeing. The beginnings of health andwellness are achieved when we have balanced,
grateful, and joyful lives, actions, and thoughts.
We achieve this state as we learn to live inharmony with all living things and with gratitude
for Heavenly Parent and True Parents. You canapply this awareness to anything. Gently close youreyes and visualize your self doing the work you
have dreamed of, your purpose and goal in life.
There is no work too large or too small; everything
matters when you love it. You can be a businesstycoon or a chef. If you have the heart of TL, yourskills may be able to help an honorable charity that
feeds the hungry. Whatever you choose, make itfrom the heart. Imagine joyfully doing this workand visualize how your work can help countlessothers attain happiness and joy. This is yourpotential to give back all the joy that creation andHeavenly Parent gives us each moment.
Can you imagine a world where your divine lightshines and inspires the light in others’ lives? That isyour potential. This is how precious you are. In thismoment cherish who you are. You are a true filial
and unconditionally loved child of Heavenly Parent
and True Parents. Feel the love that surrounds youeach moment. Now visualize all of your loved ones
that nurtured, loved, guided, supported, and cared
for you so that you could fulfill your dreams or justbe here at this moment. Can you feel their love,
joy, gratitude, happiness and pride in the great
work you do, the miracle of who you are? You arenever alone; we are truly blessed to have eachother, our blessed central families, our True Parents
and Heavenly Parent. Each of you is the mostprecious gift to humankind! Now gently open youreyes and look around you, and observe the 3,000
other precious gifts and children of Heavenly
Parent! What a heavenly network of potential good.
Imagine if we harnessed and synergized all theenergy we create by being here as one family,
doing the work we love, synergizing and working
together to realize a greater dream for the world!
Imagine it, dream it, choose it, and make your lives
the glorious reality you envision. What ever you
focus on becomes your reality, if your heart andpassion are centered in true love; by going this way
you will bring happiness to yourself and all yourloved ones. What a truly joyful moment! I can feel
True Father here with us, smiling and cheering us
on as we follow this path to realize our dreams,
making them come true. Let us give thanks to all
those who have worked to give us this joyful
summer moment. In return we should use ourenergy to do good, for others and for the planet.
This is the karma/give and take, and responsibility
we should learn to foster. Our life, our body, ourfood, our air, all started beyond our consciousness.
It was our parents’ love, their lives, our mother'swomb, their love and care to give everything to us
that make it possible for us to breathe today.
Beyond that it was True Parents that blessed yourparents, teaching them true love, true life, truelineage. Beyond that Heavenly Parent has worked
since the beginning of time to unite and live
harmoniously with absolute, unchanging, eternal
true love in order to restore what was divided andto reunite, to rebalance that oneness of mind, bodyand soul for all his children.
Once we realize that we are all One family, wemust share, work, foster, and grow more glorious
gifts for all 7 billion people, teaching others andacting responsibly for the sake of all living things.
We should go beyond the limits and scope of ourown lives and truly see what True Parents havemastered and taught. Live for the sake of others. In
that way you bring more blessing and joy into yourlife and into the lives of others. We are allinterconnected. We share this world. We must live
responsibly in harmony with each other. There is
no you or me, no label, boundary, limit, or singular
entity, we are all One, under Heavenly Parent andTrue Parents. Let us bring this awareness to allliving beings on this earth, and live harmoniously
in our collective home.
By connecting to Heavenly Parent’s true love andby making it our purpose, we will be able to live
the most fruitful and meaningful life, connected to
one another and to the entire universe. Here is aquote from True Father:
Love is like a nerve. When one of our hairs ispulled, our whole body moves toward the pulling
force. In the same way, when you pull on love, theuniverse is pulled towards the pulling force. Whenyou move love the whole universe moves inaccordance with it. (8990, 1976.3.2)
Building the Future
All of us who have gathered here for the 3rd
Anniversary of True Father’s Ascension are
creating this glorious future together. As young
people with great passion and hope, the intense
discussions, the sharing and brainstorming you dotogether during this workshop, centered on
Heavenly Parent and True Parents, will become akey part of the process of gradually substantiating
the Cheon Il Guk culture. We are all brothers andsisters under Heavenly Parent and True Parents.

We were born on this earth, receiving endless love,
blessings, and life from Heavenly Parent and True
Parents. We are all familiar with the principle ofgive and receive action. Hence, we know that weeach have the responsibility to return the love andblessings we received from Heavenly Parent andTrue Parents, sharing these gifts with the people of
the world. In so doing, true love grows and expands
and reverberates everywhere. Consider thesewords of True Parents:
You have only one life to live, so use it to dosomething that the world needs. You cannot reachthe hidden treasure on an island without adventure.
Please think beyond your own country, and think of
the world as your stage in setting your goal. – True
Father ‘As A Peace Loving Global Citizen’“A true global leader is someone who is able toembrace the world in his own bosom.” True Father‘As A Peace Loving Global Citizen’“Love transcends all national borders, for God’s
love knows no boundaries. It is transcendent of thefive different races of humankind, drawing no

distinction among the black, white and yellow
races. That is why the love of God is great. Whenlove begins to flow regardless of the environment
in which it is flowing, the environment adapts tothis flow and develops. God will be pleased only
when we adopt the perspective that can make thishappen. That is why we must walk the path oflove.” (164-93, 1987.4.26)
If we join hands and work together, I am certainthat we can shape the future of our world. Pleasecherish the gift and divine light in your heart, in
this way, you will give hope to the people of theworld, and you will grow immensely along theway. I would like to say thank you and I love you
and I believe in you! Can we collectively unite our
voices to show gratitude and love to True Parents?
Let us all say kamsahamnida! Salanghamnida!
Sunli 3x! Aju!
Please give a big loving hug to your neighbor andshare your dreams to make them our glorious
Cheon Il Guk reality!
