			 The Words of Sun Myung Moon from 2012  | 
	

HDH-True Mother in Kyoto

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 "When you have
											food and you can't digest it all, you need to give it to
											others without leaving them. You shouldn't give it while
											crying. You should be happy in giving, so that others will
											be able to be happier than yourself. The food would be
											gone but the more you give, the more you go up. The
											receiver must put the giver to the upper position.'    
"I
											like to pioneer."
"Here is the person
											named Yong Myung Moon, who became Sun Myung Moon. He has
											been working hard. When I reached my 70's, I felt my legs
											become heavier."
"When I came back home, I
											found Hoon Mo Nim (Father's mother) singing 'Higher
											Ground.' She didn't know Jesus."
A Japanese
											sister sang ”幸せって何だろう
											(What is Happiness?)" and Father sang
											it together and interpreted the lyrics as well. 
When
											Rev. Kamiyama was called for singing, Father asked him in
											Japanese "Are you over 70? Are you 80 now?" He
											replied "I am 71 years old," and sang "엄마야
											누나야."
"The most important thing (in singing) is to
											correct wrong pronunciations (of the lyrics) and
											ill-fitted feelings to the songs you like to sing. When
											you are ready to sing a suitable song, tears flow with a
											runny nose, and you can't continue to sing because you are
											so moved. Reaching the stage where you are moved enough to
											go crazy, you can put the environment in order and give a
											great influence to it."
After Rev. Man Oong Jo sang a song, he asked Father
											if he can talk about Father's granduncle Rev. Yun Guk
											Moon. Father said him to do so and the following are
											excerpts of his report and Father's words.
"Father
											has two granduncles. One of them Rev. Yun Guk Moon worked
											to win Korean independence from Japan, and Father has
											dedicated himself and his whole life to restore God's
											fatherland. When Father talks about his family, he often
											hesitates to do so (since it seems that he just boasts of
											it), and so when we found the articles of Rev. Yun Guk
											Moon, we thought we ourselves must testify Father's
											family. When I saw Father speaking about his childhood
											missing his family and hometown, I thought that it was our
											mission to release his 한
											and all emotions. It was really fortunate
											that Rev. Yun Guk Moon left a record of his life, which he
											made when he was 78 years old. (Showing the record by his
											handwriting) As Father said, this was well written by
											excellent handwriting. This can be a testimony to what
											Father has told us about his granduncle until
											now."
"Among my ancestors, there are many
											people who held the title of 스승
											(master or teacher)."
"In
											1910, Rev. Yun Guk Moon joined the Presbyterian Church in
											Korea. He taught Chinese literature, and then from the
											ages of 35 to 36 for two years, he taught at private
											elementary schools in Jeong Ju."
"He made
											all those schools and gathered children of beggars who
											hadn't studied before."
"From 37 to 41
											for five years, he studied at the Presbyterian Theological
											Seminary in Pyeong Yang, which is the most famous
											institute in Korean Christian history. Famous Christian
											leaders in Korea are all alumni of this seminary. I
											believe that Rev. Yun Guk Moon, by absorbing new knowledge
											and Christian theology at the institute, became determined
											to win the independence of Korea. He then worked as a
											pastor at three churches in Jeong Ju. According to Father,
											it was seven, not three."
"I (as a child)
											visited them all in order to know what kind of person my
											granduncle was. I investigated them."
"In
											1919, Rev. Yun Gok Moon joined the Samil Independence
											Movement(March 1st - 3.1.), where he mobilized around
											10,000 people who respected and trusted him and his words,
											such as the people in the region and the teachers and
											students of Osan Private High School in Jeong Ju (정주
											오산 사립 고등학교)
											he had founded with others. He was one of the people who
											signed the document which was later sent to the Paris
											Peace Conference in 1919. During the Samil Independence
											Movement, he was surrounded and captured by 120 policemen.
											He was sent to Seoul and tortured there. We can imagine
											how hard it was by recalling the torture given to Father.
											He was sentenced to be in jail for two years but later he
											was released due to the special pardon for royal marriage.
											From his age of 44 to 50 for six years, he served as the
											pastor for three churches in his hometown. 
											
Two years after the Samil Independence Movement, he
											sent 70,000 Won to the Korean interim government in
											Shanghai through Rev. Suk Che Kim who was in Manchuria at
											the time. 70,000 Won in those days is roughly 7 million
											Won now. According to Father, Rev. Yun Guk Moon didn't
											only give the money, but also provided 8000 Won for Rev.
											Kim for his expenses. We need to understand that he
											donated so much money as the representative of the Moon
											family. Father says that his mother always sang 'Higher
											Ground' and his whole family were Christians. 
Though
											he was released from the jail, he was always followed by
											the police who considered him as the person at the first
											rank on the blacklist. After realizing the date and the
											place of his alleged re-arrest, he escaped to
											Chungcheongbuk-do and hid for three years there. Later he
											moved to Kangwong-do. 
Right after Korea gained her
											independence on Aug. 15, 1945, he went back to his
											hometown where he found the communists' strong control. He
											told his wife, children and relatives that he couldn't
											work as a pastor there, and left his hometown on Jan. 17,
											1946. Like Father, who put one leg on the north side and
											the other on the south side and pledged to unify the South
											and North Korea, Rev. Yun Guk Moon pledged in front of
											Heaven 'I am heading for the South now but in my lifetime
											I will definitely defeat communism and raise the
											people.'
His handwriting is full of vigor and it
											doesn't seem to be written by a person of 78, through
											which we can imagine his high-spirited final life."
