True Mother Welcomes Malaysian Parliament Members

The following is an unofficial summary of True Mother’s welcoming luncheon for Malaysian Members of Parliament at the Cheong Jeong Gung on October 9, 2013, originally published on Tongilgyo.org. This should never be published as an official publication of True Mother’s words. However it does provide a good idea of the “spirit” of her message.

 

 

Islam is the state religion in Malaysia and 60 percent of the population is Muslim there.  But the freedom of religion is guaranteed by the constitution in Malaysia. Inspired by the inter-religious and inter-cultural activities of True Father, 40 Malaysian members of parliament had participated at the celebration of True Father’s 90th birthday in 2010. 

On Oct. 9, 2013, True Mother held the luncheon at the Cheon Jeong Gung inviting 22 Malaysian members of parliament both from the ruling and opposition parties.  Prior to the luncheon, they paid respects to True Father’s burial site (bon hyang won/본향원/本鄕苑 /Garden of original land).  The Malaysian Parliament members will stay in Korea until Oct. 12th and will participate at events at various locations including the Korean National Assembly. 

During the luncheon that day, True Mother said, “The peaceful world hasn’t been established yet, however, when the unification among individuals expands, the environment for the peaceful world will be made.”  She also said, “I hope you, who are experiencing God’s spirit and understanding the truth, will become the leaders who can lead Asia.”
