CHUNG PYUNG HOLY GROUND -- HOMETOWN FOR ALL THE WORLD'S PEOPLE
Chung Pyung Holy Ground was once a wild area of mulberry bushes. In the early days, True Father used to come here and fish, sleeping in a tent. True Parents purchased the surrounding land in 1965 to create a holy ground. They remarked often on the great beauty of the area. True Parents have also said that this land symbolizes the restored and perfected Garden of Eden. Later, in June 1971, the original workshop center was built in just two weeks by young church members under Father's direct guidance. As a result of the spirit world providence of Heung Jin Nim and Dae Mo Nim, the holy ground and its facilities developed during the 1990s to the scale you see them today. Mrs. Hyo Nam Kim (Hoon Mo Nim) holds the position of central responsibility for maintaining this "universal hometown."
HEAVEN AND EARTH TRAINING CENTER
Since the construction of the original building was completed in 1971, the Chung Pyung training center was used continuously over thirty years as educational center. On March 16th, 2000, its name was changed to the Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center, a unique heavenly training center bridging the divide between the spirit world and this earthly realm. Until the present day, through the work of Holy Spirit, it has grown into a training center holding seminars and workshops under God's universal dispensation.
JEONG SHIM WON
Jeong Shim Won is located across the plaza from the main sanctuary, and is used solely for prayer and offering devotions. Any one may enter freely and offer deep prayer. Prayers offered with deep sincerity at Jeong Shim Won are said to receive answers. True Father's calligraphy in Chinese characters there reads "Faithful Hearts Serve Heaven."
CHEONG SHIM TOWER
Cheong Shim Tower is a memorial monument that marks the development of the Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center. Inside the tower, ten drawings depict True Father's birth, his call, his school days, the Holy Wedding, his work for to save his country, global missionary activities, giving the Holy Blessing, international workshops, interfaith work, and so on. There is also a name list of those who offered donations for the establishment of the Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center.
TREE OF LOVE
The Tree of Love is located in the plaza between the main sanctuary and Jeong Shim Won. The Tree of Love was discovered by Hoon Mo Nim when she received God's instruction to find five trees -- the Tree of Love, the tree of Heart, the Tree of All Things, the Tree of Loyalty, and the Tree of Blessing -- and the Water of Life. She offered ten thousand bows in order to find the Tree of Love. Many people pray sincerely in front of the Tree of Love. Many people pray sincerely in front of the Tree of Love. Many people pray sincerely in front of the tree and, feeling true love, they revive their mind and body.
TREE OF BLESSING
The Tree of Blessing is located at the top of Cheonseung Dae hill. It symbolizes the realization of God's kingdom in heaven and on earth through people accomplishing God's three great blessings. The Tree of Blessing is a pine tree, the kind Noah used to make the Ark. It is believed that sincere prayer in front of this tree helps one cultivate a true personality, raise an exemplary family and build a good society.
HELICOPTER ACCIDENT SITE
In July 19, 2008, the helicopter carrying the True Parents, three of their grandchildren and members of their staff crashed in Chung Pyung Holy Ground due to bad weather, and was completely destroyed by fire. Despite the seriousness of the accident, all sixteen on board the craft escaped without major injury. The burned out shell of the helicopter is maintained as it was. At the site, members can catch a sense of the miracle that preserved True Parents' lives and the lives of all who were with them.
