This is why the Mongolian President started and implemented the One Billion Trees National Campaign, and the participation of the government, non-governmental organizations, and the public in the project has greatly expanded in recent years. In particular, I am very happy that HWPL, which deals with the concepts of peace and friendship, actively participates in solving problems facing Mongolia and brings many people to unite as one to take part in tree planting campaigns for the protection and love of the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Badrakh Chimed, a biology professor at Eco Asia Environmental University and honored environmental worker, said, \u201cAt a time when tree planting is underway nationwide, HWPL\u2019s Green Wave of Peace tree planting project has attracted the attention of many people.\u201d He gained empathy from the participants, saying, \u201cLet\u2019s all join in on this tree planting project and the One Billion Trees National Campaign to grow together and support the green environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, fifty peace trees and 3,700 flowers have been planted in Ulaanbaatar National Park with the support of civil society and the efforts of volunteers.

In God\u2019s religion, there are three cornerstones, namely, karma, soul, and morality. Among them, the root cause of Karma has a great influence on everyone\u2019s peace and welfare. The more good karma spreads, the better society and family can be. Anyone in any religion should pay attention to these three things. If we can do that, peace will come of its own accord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Baatar Battulga, the Senior Specialist of Curriculum Implementation at the General Authority for Education said, \u201cTo achieve peace, we must first understand the value of peace. HWPL\u2019s Peace Education instills youth in their desire to protect the planet and teaches them to create a positive atmosphere in schools, classrooms, and homes. In particular, it is important to teach children ethics and humanitarian education,\u201d reaffirming the importance of Peace Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, the IPYG performance team performed \u201cBeautiful Nation, Mongolia,\u201d and participants signed their support for the \u201cDeclaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW).\u201d HWPL, which has been actively carrying out peace projects in Mongolia since October last year, plans to spread a culture of peace with experts in various fields in Mongolia and encourage civil society to actively participate in peace activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mongolia Religious Forum: Solidarity of Religious Leaders<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n On June 20, the Mongolian Religious Forum, co-hosted by HWPL and Sain Nomuun Monastery, was held at the Best Western Premier Tuushin Hotel in Ulaanbaatar under the theme of \u201cSolidarity of Religious Leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n This forum was attended by about 400 religious leaders, including Nergui Sainbuyan, Great Monk of Sain Nomuun Monastery; Suhkbat Shagdarsuren, Chairman of the Centre of Mongolian Shamanism; Bavuu Bayarsaikhan, Veda Culture Researcher of Krishna Mandir Hindu Temple; and B.

More than 50% of the population is Buddhist, and the country houses various other religions such as Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Bahaism. One of the core goals of Mongolia\u2019s long-term development policy, \u2018Vision 2050\u2019 includes the \u201cattainment of shared national values\u201d to achieve a high level of social awareness through research on the value of religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HWPL planned the event in collaboration with Sain Nomuun Monastery.

We are pleased to hold this forum with HWPL, which inherits this proud culture and conducts religious peace activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am very interested in a dialogue based on scriptures. Considering the basic scriptures and the original scriptures between religions, there is actually not much difference between religions,\u201d said Bavuu Bayarsaikhan, Veda Culture Researcher of Krishna Mandir Hindu Temple, who has been attending HWPL\u2019s World Alliance of Religions\u2019 Peace Office in Mongolia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sukhbat Shagdarjav, a researcher and scientist of Nomad & shaman culture, said, \u201cMany religions coexist in Mongolia. So, people have a right to religious tolerance and reverence of their respective religions.\u201d Batiirbek, the Chairman of the Muslim Religious Union of Mongolia, delivered his impression of the event, saying, \u201cWe need a mutual understanding between religions and action to keep it. This is a very timely event.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shin Sun-ah, the head of HWPL\u2019s Global 9 Branch, said in a closing speech, \u201cIt is time to restore and re-spread Mongolian national identity based on religious respect and tolerance pursued by Genghis Khan through the religious leaders gathered here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n After this, the HWPL Religious Peace Academy (RPA) was introduced.

He hoped that through learning and working together, Yongmunsa Temple would become a space of love and peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Monk Byeokam, who attended the ceremony, was deeply moved by the establishment of the HWPL Global 02 Interfaith Office at the temple and vowed to work even harder for peace in cooperation with the global 12 branches of HWPL in the Jeollabuk-do region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Going forward, HWPL Global 02 aims to actively operate the Interfaith Office at Yongmunsa Temple as a communication platform for interreligious harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n KORANBOGOR.com-On June 21, HWPL held the \u201cHWPL Peace Tree Planting & Marker Stone Unveiling Ceremony\u201d jointly with Ulaanbaatar National Park & Garden Center to mark the start of Mongolia\u2019s \u201cGreen Wave of Peace\u201d tree planting project at Ulaanbaatar National Park in Mongolia.
