Shin Pyeon Nim held by Hyung Jin Nim and other True Children offered a bow to True Parents, and then True Mother prayed. True Parents lit the candle on the cake and cut it for him. Then Shin Pyen Nim did 돌잡이 (A Korean tradition in the first birthday of a baby. A pencil, a book, money, and others are put on the table and they say the thing that the baby grabs will determine what the baby will do in the future.) He firstly grabbed the microphone and Rev. Suk, who was the MC, jokingly said "He will become a famous singer, or a speaker." Then he grabbed the pencils and Rev. Suk said "Then he will become a famous scholar." When he grabbed color pencils, Rev. Suk said, "He then will become a famous artist." After having taken photos of True Parents, Shin Pyeon Nim and True Children, the participants offered a bow.

"Everything must be conducted under my command. In the Garden of Eden, the ultimate owner will be Adam and Eve, who didn't eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."

"The Sermons of Rev. Moon have been published and the absolute God and True Parents must be united. Man comes first, not woman, and they become parents and then the King of Kings. The thing is Eve made mistakes and the God of Night and the God of Day must be settled in order for her to follow Adam and establish the order. In Adam's family, it was Eve that made mistakes. Adam committed no sin. What she was mistaken in was that she rode on a male who is in the position of her younger brother-in-law and Father. Why? Nature is like a museum and it was educational to Adam and Eve."

"What are the three pillars of the education? ('애천, 애인, 애국 / To love Heaven, to love humans, and to love one's country.') It is the second one that becomes the center."

"What was my previous calligraphy here? (''天地父母天宙安息權 / 천지부모 천주안식권 / The Realm of the Cosmic Sabbath of the Parents of Heaven and Earth') There was no 인 (humankind). Also It was 안식권 (The Realm of the Sabbath). It means taking a rest for a while, which is not 정착 (定着 / Firm Settlement)."

Later, Dr. Peter Kim made a report regarding Kook Jin Nim's speech on "Strong Korea" at the US Capitol in Washington DC, followed by his address in Germany. According to Dr. Kim, Kook Jin Nim, who received Father's direction on this, said in his speech "Korea must become a small but strong nation (강소국 / 强小國) like Israel."

True Father left for the US on 3.4 HC (Mar.25, 2012), and the next day True Mother and Hyung Jin Nim will leave there after she speaks at the assembly of WFWPU.

East Garden, an example of the offering done today.

(@lovintp in English) A Chot Dol (First Birthday) celebration was held today for Shin Pyun Nim, the third son of Kook Jin Nim's family. The item he picked up on his Chot Dol was a microphone [see below for explanation of tol jaebi.] While naming Shin Pyung Nim, True Father blessed him saying, "He is on God's side". Let us pray that Shin Pyun Nim will become the pride and joy of Heaven's Tongil Family. Aju

[From Wikipedia article on Dol: The baby picks up various items on the table that attracts him or her. The items that the child picks up are said to predict the child’s future. If a child picks up the bow and arrow, it is said that the child will be strong and a warrior. If the child picks up the thread, the child will have a long life. A child who picks up the pencil, book or calligraphy set is forecast to be a good scholar. A child who picks the rice, rice cakes, or money will become rich; some say that choosing the rice (or a rice cake) means the child is unintelligent, or that they will never be hungry. If the ruler, pair of scissors or needle is chosen, it is said that the child will be dexterous. If the child chooses the knife, they will become a good chef. Today, the bow and arrow are usually not included. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_birthday_celebrations ]
