Note: These notes are taken from a Peace TV video clip. They cannot be published as definitive texts and should never be used in the future as an "official" publication of True Father's words. However, they do provide a good idea of the "spirit" of the message. -- Rev. Katsumi Kambashi

"I had planned to make a training center at Mt. Geumgang, but North Korea wouldn't listen to it. I wanted to make an educational center, which would be better than the Garden of Eden."

"Today is the day of the opening of the era of omnipotence (오늘은 전능시대의 개문이야). That's why I came here. Before coming here from Hawaii, I called Sun Jo Hwang twice."

"In the fallen world, there are fights for lands, all creatures, humans and God. In the world of God's creation, everybody can be the owner (주인) and equal with each other. There is no concept such as discrimination or conflict."

Rev. Yang read the report from Rev. Chung Shik Yong, Asia Continental Director, regarding the Mindanao Interfaith Festival held on 3.10 HC in Mindanao, the Philippines where 12,000 couples joined the Blessing. The following are some of the photos of the events held there.

(After the report)

"That is the place which can be developing more. There is nothing more I hope there. (Heavenly fortune) has already passed even Hawaii. / 이개 더 발전할 장소, 바랄 것이 없네. 하와이도 다 지나갔네." Then Father told all the participants to give a big hand to the Philippines.

(Katsumi: According to Father's speech given on Oct. 21, 1975, heavenly fortune / 천운 / 天運 moved from Israel to Rome, then to England and later to the US through history. In the light of the Pacific Rim Era, Father needs to connect and move the heavenly fortune from the US, where he spent his prime time for more than 30 years, to Korea, God's fatherland, through Japan which ls located between the two countries. But according to Rev. Yu, since Japan couldn't fulfill her responsibility on that regard, Father put Hawaii in place of Japan and has worked hard moving back and forth between Korea, Hawaii and Las Vegas. From that viewpoint, I think his comments above regarding the victory of the Mindanao Interfaith Festival which took place in the Philippines in Asia are providentially significant.)

True Parents with all the participants sang "Glory Hallelujah" in Korean, which concluded the meeting that day.
