Sun Myung Moon

In these days, we are commanders in Chung Pyung. At Chung Pyung, we are building houses while we are living in tents. Other people who saw our shapes know that we came here to improve our mind or cure our lung troubles. (Laugh)
It has been four years since we came to Chung Pyung, but when those people see us it looks piteous. When it rains our living circumstances in the tents are not good, and people think it is sorrowful. But we have our own purpose for choosing to live like that. They don't know that there needs to be distinguished the degree to be a master carpenter. They never think even in a dream that I prepared the man in order to buy the land. They thought we could not help doing so because we have no money. It was a very small mulberry land where we pitched tents.
At first, though, when we went to spend that night, there was no land to pitch a tent on. So I ordered to cut the mulberry tree on that land. If one cut off even a mulberry tree so that Rev. Moon could rest, the owner of that land would accuse but the mulberry tree would not accuse. Therefore, we cut off mulberry trees and pitched tents. In the end, the angry owner came and he rebuked all day saying, "Where are you from"? But we did not retaliate. (Laugh)
We had the mind as if the man who cut the trees went away. I pretended not to know who did it. He rebuked angrily on the first day but the scolding became soft the next day. From now on, he said, "I'm sorry." So, "Yes, sorry"? He asked us in return. (Laugh) The owner thought he was so violent only with a mulberry tree.
And after one year or so, when we asked him to sell the land he sold the land without any word. Doing so, we prepared 800,000 pyeong (1 Pyeong = 3.3 square meters) on the other side of the Chung Pyung. 800,000 pyeong is as large as Yeoido. I already bought the important places where villas can be built in Chung Pyung.
Recently, other people came to know the value of Chung Pyung, and they said that a person indeed knows the time better than grandfather Gang Tae Gong. (Laugh) (Aug. 11, 1971)
From now on, even though I want to fish, I will never fish. And I will not eat the fish even though I catch fishes. I would not eat the fishes caught in Chung Pyung. Somebody cooked a carp for me but I didn't eat the fish. Though I did not tell any one not to eat the fishes, I would not eat the fishes caught in Chung Pyung even a very little fish. Though I can eat a roasted yellow corbina caught in the sea, I would not eat fishes caught in Chung Pyung. Maybe everybody don't know all history goes in that way.
A pioneer must have endurance. This time, we will invite Christian ministers in Seoul and Pusan to open a special workshop, but they will think Unification Church's Rev. Moon will surely greet us. Do you know why I do not appear? Teacher doesn't appear not because I fear or am not fluent or am without ability to make them be moved. Because I consider God’s prestige and all the others. Now, if they are against us it is an end. Isn’t it? If they are invited but they don't know, then they will be broken. There is no special luck. Right? (Yes!) It’s the end. At that time, God will surely abandon. It will the last time forever. (Aug. 11, 1971)
