Celebration with True Parents in Las Vegas August 31st

The 21st anniversary of Pal Jeong Shik (The Ceremony of Settlement of Eight Stages) was held together with True Parents at Cheon Hwa Gung, in Las Vegas, at 7am on Aug. 31st, 2009.

Hyung Jin Nim, Kook Jin Nim, In Jin Nim, and approximately 300 leaders from America as well as organizations in Korea and Japan, attended this ceremony.

The ceremony was opened by a representative prayer by Hyung Jin Nim, followed by a Hoon Dok Hae reading by Archbishop Ki Hoon Kim, which was the prayer and speech given by True Father on the very first Pal Jeong Shik occasion in 1989.

True Father greatly emphasized in his speech that morning that True Parents are the one and only True Parents, and nobody can replace them. The foundation of America is completely standing on True Parents’ foundation. True Father said, “Who is the founder of organizations such as Washington Times and UPI? If anyone else claims to be the center then it will block the Unification Church”.

True Father also shared his message entitled the Owner of Peace, Owner of Lineage, which was originally spoken by True Father on July 7th in East Garden, New York.

True Father explained to everyone in attendance that day, “You have to remember these words that I spoke in the Owner of Peace, Owner of Lineage. You have to ask yourself if there is any place for you to stand in this message.”

True Father also mentioned the importance of the October 14th Blessing that will take place in Korea this year as well as the providence of migration of Blessed members to 120 countries by lottery.

The gathering lasted for over 8 hours, finishing around 3:30pm after True Parents sang together with leaders present. Participants were touched by True Parents’ love, and confirmed their promise to fulfill what True Father had asked of them by raising their two hands numerous times in Eog Mansei. Thank you, True Parents!
