Divine Principle Lecture Manual

(An expanded edition of the Three Hour Lecture Manual)

Family Federation for World Peace and Unification

Preface As we enter the age of home church in the first year of Cheon Il Guk, for anybody to accomplish the mission of tribal messiah they must be able to teach the Divine Principle. In accordance with True Parents’ direction to give lectures by reading from the Divine Principle, the Diagrarnrned Lecture Manual for Three Hour Lectures has been developed, which en- ables everyone to give reading-based lectures. However, because this manual condenses the vast content of the Divine Principle into a three-hour format, it often requires more detailed expla- nations and examples. Hence, we are presenting an expanded edition of this manual. True Father has told us that when we give lectures, we should illustrate them with contents of his speeches or the Divine Prin- ciple, rather than with our own ideas or worldly knowledge . Therefore, this book takes supplementary examples and expla- nations from Father’s words and the Divine Principle.

I am confident that everyone (including second and third gen- erations) who makes proper use of this book will come to a deep understanding of the Divine Principle and gain the ability to give confident Divine Principle lectures. I hope that our members will make good use of it to receive (1od’s grace and bring great results.

• The word “desire,’: however, is often not understood in its original sense because in the present circumstances our desires tend to pursue evil rather than good. • The original mind is well aware that the desires pursuing evil lead to rnisfortune. • Therefore, it repels evil desires and strives to follow goodness. Even at the cost of their lives, people seek for the jQ;L that can enrapture the original mind.

Testimonies of Former President Hyo Won Eu and Gil Ja Sa

True Father’s words about President Hyo Won Eu

● True Father’s words about President Hyo Won Eu

This story of how President Eu joined the Church in Pusan is taken from volume 3 of True Parents’ Life Course. “President Eu is great because while taking notes from the Principle, he shed tears hundreds of times on each page. Even as a bright intellectual with university education, he had been exhausted while struggling to find the truth; thus, when he accidently came to know such a deep world, his tears poured out like a waterfall. That mesmerized him, and he could not record without tears. I heard it took him one week to write one page. So, you don’t know how many tears he shed. These words of truth, which can connect to the original heart, has the power to explode love, and it works through history. This is where the greatness of President Eu lies.

Even without hearing my words, just by reading the Divine Principle Manuscript, he pledged in writing to eternally offer himself to Heaven in gratitude. I met such a person when I was lonely. It was God’s work. At that time my heart was very serious. That is why God acted. When did President Eu join? In 1953 he pledged to be my disciple and sent me a letter. That meant subjugating and restoring an individual-level Cain from the world of Cain and world of Satan. This is why I used him as my representative. Although God knew he was crippled, God made a start by making him my representative.”

● Excerpts from President Eu’s letter to True Father

Now I have discovered who I am. So, I acknowledge the value of life, which cannot be exchanged even for heaven and earth. I have discovered myself on a thin line between Heaven and me, which had barely existed before. This will give me complete liberation. So, I am happy and joyful. The wall that had stood in front of me has crumbled down. The veil over my face has been lifted. Please take note of this meager being, who is embracing this book and shedding tears of elation. Although I am a poor cripple, please accept me as a lost lamb, and I would like to help out in the accomplishment of your mission. I sincerely hope there will be a day of glory when I can offer myself upon your call. May you shine as a light of glory for ever and ever. Amen. December 10, 1953. With a deep bow.

● President Eu’s diary in sickness before joining

In retrospect, my past makes me tremble out of fear. As I have experienced twice, my past life has been a series of moments of a desperately struggling, drowning man. When I managed to stick my head out of the water with a desperate struggle to breathe quickly, my weight mercilessly pulled me down. I felt the force of the water rushing into my lung due to my willingness to inhale air, and yet struggled again to spit it out and rise above the water again. Such a dreadful repetition is what my life has been all about. How can I live right? How can I find the truth? I did not even have the leisure to worry about these things. Has my life not been a struggle on the border between life and death? My

prayer only had this to say: “Lord, why did you put this useless cripple in this world of suffering?” I don’t know if it was a supplication or complaint. I took another breath just because I had taken a breath before, and I lived another day just because I had live a day before. My life was moving moment to moment. Should I live, even like this? I stared at reality while looking at the ceiling like a man without a brain. When a dying patient who is struggling without being able to breath is being asked to live a moment longer, this is the time he must borrow the strength of pain killer. Exhausted with pain, I contemplated cutting my carotid artery to kill myself, but could not carry it out due to my mother’s earnest prayer. At this time my mother brought a spiritually attuned deaconess, who told me: “During my prayer I saw three stars fall on your

forehead. This is a sign that you will do an important mission for God. So, pray without being disheartened.” Empowered by this, I resumed my Bible study. As I did not understand its meaning, I studied the Hebrew language for seven months while suffering from high fever. But I still did not understand it clearly, so I threw it away and struggled with myself.

● Hyo Won Eu’s Diary (on his motivation for joining the Church)

One day in October 1953, Yoon Shin Yang (younger sister of Professor Yoon Young Yang) came to me and asked me to pray about who Mr. Sun Myung Moon was. Afterwards Yoon Shin went to Seoul and came back. She told me everything about the Teacher. One day Won Pil Kim visited me, wearing a pair of rubber shoes like a refugee. I wrote down every detail. I asked him about the fornication with the angel, and he told me to pray about it. I asked him if there was a book about it, and he brought me the Divine Principle Manuscript. I could not sleep while reading it. In an early morning dream I got the following messages: 1. You are an incense (a priest); 2. a trumpet (lecturer); and 3. can save the dead (spread the word)

● True Father’s words about President Eu

Hyo Won Eu has a righteous and passionate character; hence, had he been healthy, he would have fought in the forefront of the anti-Japanese struggle during the colonial period, and it would have been difficult for him to stay alive. But, God struck a leg of a tiger and kept him inside a room and prepared him to do God’s work with me. (President Eu was born in the year of the tiger.) How much did President Eu suffer in the past? I can never forget him, who even as a cripple helped me with many difficulties including the Sudemoon Prison incident. You don’t know how many incidents like it there have been. Every such time he took care of the business as my helper. So, in the history of the Unification Church the President and I have an

inseparable relationship. Considering the hard work he has been doing, what responsibility shall our Church have for his sons and family? How shall we treat them? This remains an important, internal issue to deal with. What did I seriously think of President Hyo Won Eu? It is: Did we carry such a content as his? By following me, he suffered a lot for me. Especially, when I was in prison he was very considerate about me. This is why I have a fond memory of him. While I was lying down in prison, when it was early morning I heartistically felt like seeing him. Even a small note he gave me I took with the value of life. To that degree, he had my spiritual support. I remember him as such a person. He had the loyalty to take the trouble in my place. I am relieved that Gil Ja is also trying to walk a worthy path; this is the pride of the Unification Church. So, her mission I gave her in her husband’s place. I

went down from Seoul to Young Do, Pusan, and gave a 21- day workshop. At that time, the workshop at Young Do was spiritual. That’s when I met Hyo Won Eu for the first time. Everyone sitting there had a spiritual experience. Your words should be such that when they return to you, they have enough power to inspire your heart. This is why I speak with sweat even when speaking alone. With sweat… This is why people are moved with tears. I had Hyo Won write An Explanation of the Principle and An Exposition of the Divine Principle for God and me. You should know that although it was he who wrote it, it is connected to Heaven because he wrote it under my supervision. It is different from ordinary writing. I taught him how to systematize the Principle. The Divine Principle Manuscript was written poetically, with a lot of logical jumps and condensations, and

yet he read it and cried loudly. He is perhaps the most historic representative that was moved by the actual content of the Principle. When he was tired because of his sickness, I yelled at him, saying, “You rascal, whom are you trying to kill by lying down? Are you lying down without telling me?” I feel pain in my heart when I think of this. I commanded him to give lectures 16 hours a day for 3 and a half years, despite his crippled condition. Did he even eat well? He only ate two meals of barley, with meager side dishes. We ate kimchi made just overnight. Did we have kimchi all the time? We also ate only with salt. He especially liked fish. Aren’t there what are called “konjengi” (looking like tiny shrimp)? They smell so bad that people can hardly stay close to them. But, he said they were “delicious.” I clearly remember such a thing even now.

Now our foundation expanded in America, and we have piles of beef to eat. I sometimes feel pain in my heart when I think of him living in such poverty. This time when I was in America I asked them to inherit the past tradition of President Eu. He had the tradition of lecturing for 16 hours. You should be able to lecture hard, if not 16 hours, at least 8 hours. Your national law says if you want to eat and live, you must work for 8 hours a day. Likewise, pastors, if they want to eat and live, must lecture for more than 8 hours. I pushed them this way, and they are now on fire.

● The founding of HSA-UWC

(May 1, 1954) In 1954 I officially founded the Unification Church. It was today. A few people with President Eu started it, by putting up a sign board in a small house in Boogak Dong. I had no intention to create a denomination. The name was the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity, but it was not my intention to create it. I wanted to go beyond denominations and transcend them, but the plan did not materialize. That’s why I created the Unification Church. It did not begin with all people’s welcome; rather, the day was declared in a lonely place, with just a few people gathered around.

● A motto of Hyo Won Eu

After President Eu joined the Church, he encountered things he could not understand. Every time he did, his motto was: I have believed once, and I shall believe until the end. I shall believe even those things I cannot believe. Adam and Eve fell because they were ignorant. So, in restoration we should be ignorant and only follow with absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience.

● The motivation for joining the Church

On June 25, 1950, when I was a second grader at Chonju High School, Chonju City, Chunra Bukdo, soldiers of North Korea invaded South Korea. At that time, my father, who had been a prosecutor, had just opened a law firm as a lawyer. My original hometown is Chulsan, North Korea, but we moved to Chunjju when I was four because my father’s workplace moved there. When North Korean soldiers came to Chunju, my father already escaped south with his younger brother, who was also a lawyer, and at home there were only my mother and my siblings. Since we were the family of a member of the enemy class, we were monitored everyday and interrogated about the whereabouts of my father and uncle. We were dragged to their headquarters to receive various

questions. When they learned that I was a Christian, they challenged me: “You say you believe in Jesus, but where is God?” “He is in heaven.” “What? What is there in heaven other than the clouds?” “He is in my heart.” “Have you seen him?” “No, I haven’t.” “Things unseen do not exist. You South Koreans look for God, who does not exist, and beg him for blessing and money while doing nothing and getting lazy. Religion is like opium, which makes people crazy. We came here in order to eliminate all this. We came here to teach you to work hard and live a good life. Religion is just like opium, making people crazy.” They yelled at me while saying this. While crying in fear, I made a determination to make them know the existence of God by any means. This is why I entered Ewha Woman’s University, a Christian

school. There I tried hard to get accurate knowledge about God, but all those pastors and theology Ph.D. holders at the university could not answer the questions the communists had put me. Among them, however, there was Professor Young Oon Kim, who majored in theology and was the head of the Religious Work Department. She taught us the history of Christian culture. We were deeply moved by her lecture on the spirit world as understood by Swedenborg, a famous spiritualist and scholar, because it was something we had not heard before. But, Professor Kim went to the Unification Church on request from Hwallan Kim, then president of the university, to find out why some of the university students had joined the Church, which was being persecuted as heresy. She, however, was rather led by God’s grace to join the Unification Church. When

I heard about it, I was anxiously wondering what happened. So, together with a few friends of mine, I visited the Church located in Hoonin-Dong. To our surprise, Professor Kim was cleaning a room there. She welcomed us, saying, “You came to the right place. Come listen to the good words.” That day was Wednesday, the day for the Wednesday night service. So, people gathered in and the Teacher began to speak. There was already a rumor that Rev. Moon was the Lord of the Second Advent. He preached with tears and passion. I did not understand it very well, but it was about God and Jesus and was filled with power and conviction, compared with the feeble lectures of university professors. This made me feel confident that even if he was not the Lord of the Second Advent, he was at least the one to lead me to

the Lord. Two days later, we listened to President Eu’s lecture on the Principle of Creation. My eyes opened up wide when I heard the scientific and logical explanation that God is the subject partner of the dual characteristics of Yang and Yin. As a pharmacy student, who studied theoretical physics and chemistry, I knew that all things embody yang and yin. When hearing the explanation that if the world God created is that way, then the Creator God, the root of the world, is the subject partner of the dual characteristics of Yang and Yin, and that God does not exist vaguely in heaven but can be understood scientifically, I was greatly moved and started to shed tears. I became confident that with this I would be able to show God clearly to communists (atheists), who deny the existence of God. So, I joined and began witnessing actively

with my friends who also joined. At that time I was the head of one of our three dormitories. So, on days when there were no lectures, I took students to the Unification Church. Later on, the university authorities found that out and warned me not to do it, but I continued. On May 11, 1955, fourteen students, who vowed to keep their faith till the end even at the expense of their university degree, were expelled. Before our expulsion, five professors had already been fired. Our families and professors persecuted us, urging us to return to the university, but we kept our faith, claiming that the Unification Church is really the force to destroy communism and save the nation and the world. I graduated from Sook Myung Women’s University in pharmacy. Already it has been more than sixty years since then. Then I

was 23, and now I am standing before you as a grandmother at the age of 83. For the last sixty years I have been doing pioneer witnessing and itinerary work in Korean, and Divine Principle education in Korea, Japan, and America. But, in the interest of time I will only speak about some of the most important things. For my profile, please refer to what I showed you earlier. Many junior members ask me: “What was it like to see the Teacher for the first time?” As my father was a prosecutor and then a lawyer, I was living in a world blessed with power and money and frequently saw people who came around, seeking their own profit. They were insincere people who were ready to vilify others and fulfill desire for their own profit. They envied my family background and approached me, but they

were all far from the world of truth. One day, when I was a high school third grader, my father brought a bachelor prosecutor and introduced him to me. But I answered resolutely: “Father, please stop being a prosecutor in your own generation.” What I had been seeking seriously was pure truth free of deceit. Do you know the flower called anemone? It symbolizes truth. Although I had never seen it, it was what I had always wanted. When I saw the Teacher, it was the truth itself. I finally came to receive the truth itself. So, no matter how much I was opposed and persecuted, I could not leave True Father.

● Background of the founding of Ewha Women’s University

Ewha Woman’s University was founded in 1886 on the day when Mrs. Scranton, sent from the overseas missions of the American Methodist Church, taught one student in Korea. When the Korean War broke out in 1950, the university had a temporary building in Pusan. In August 31, 1953, it returned to its original campus in Seoul. After the return it focused on the construction and restoration of main buildings, which required a huge funding support. The university was worried that its professors and students joining the Unification Church would jeopardize the support from the American Methodist Church. This became an important reason for their decision to expel those faculty members and students who joined the Unification Church.

● An important, unforgettable event in the providence

True Father once gave a direction to register True Mother as a Korean presidential candidate. The Church president at that time was Rev. Kwak. They refused to accept this direction, saying that she could never win the presidential race. So, at a leaders’ meeting in Han Nam Dong, True Father shouted at them in great rage, telling them to repent bitterly and gravely of their disobedience to a direction from heaven. Why do you think he gave such an incredible direction? He always said that religion is not enough for fulfilling God’s Will on earth, as religions can never be one due to their own prejudices. He said therefore that we must engage in politics. He said people would follow him only when he led in politics. True Mother as

a presidential candidate would have appeared with True Father’s words, and the people of the world would have listened with interest; this would have made them realize what God wants and leave their religions for True Father. Events of the Unification Church should not be only for the Unification Church but for any people in the world to hear and follow. If we have events in the name of the Unification Church, people will not follow. Jesus also came as the king of kings, not just the king of the Jews. Accordingly, Rev. Moon came to rule over all people of the world as the king of kings, and not just as the king of peace. A few years later, True Father in Chun Jung Goong suddenly called upon me to speak, and I spoke about True Mother’s candidacy as follows: “Although True Mother may not have

won the presidential race, she would have served as the bronze serpent of Moses. When the faithless people were being killed by fiery serpents, God had Moses raise a bronze serpent, and those who looked at it out of repentance escaped death. Likewise, you wanted to raise True Mother so she could appear and speak to those dying from sin, and those who could follow her words would escape the satanic world to be saved.” Then, True Father was happy, saying, “That’s right. Will you follow me in things like this in the future?” After the True Mother’s candidacy was thwarted, True Father asked me if I wanted to be a presidential candidate, and I could not answer. He said, “I can make you a president, if you want it.” I am grieved that True Father did not ascend as the king of kings before his Sung Hwa. Since Kwon Jin Nim

is an American-born US citizen, True Father said that he would make him a president of the United States. When I was working in America, a member won a picture contest held by the Washington Times and proudly brought the picture with a frame to True Father. It showed an old hunchback priest walking with a lamp under the wall of a cathedral. When True Father saw it, he said, “A poor old priest. It is pity that he only served as a priest all his life. One should do politics.” Ladies and gentlemen! Do you know that we are expected be righteous political leaders after having completed our character through religion? Let us educate especially the young second and third generation with the Principle and True Parents’ words, so we can elevate them as the king of kings who can rule over the world. Aju.
