The
University of Global Peace in Mandalay City hosted a workshop on 24 February to
promote world peace, unite all religions and abolish discrimination. The
workshop was headed by South Korea-based Heavenly Culture, World Peace
Restoration of Light (HWPL) and attended by various religious leaders.
High
Court lawyer U Khin Maung Than coordinated the organisation of the workshop
with Upper Myanmar’s HWPL, which he said is in compliance with the United
Nation’s (UN) World Interfaith Harmony Week.
U
Khin Maung Than explained that the South Korean organisation has been active in
Myanmar for four years now. The discussions talked about how to stop
discrimination between different religions. A country will never develop if
there is discrimination, he said, and he hoped people would grow more conscious
of it. He said people must end discrimination first, before the government and
ethnic armed organisations.
HWPL
has branches in 14 countries across the world that are working for peace and
played an important role in proposing the UN peace treaties. HWPL first came to
Myanmar in 2013 and has 22 branches in both Upper and Lower Myanmar. They
collaborate with leaders from six major religions to promote world peace and
end religious discrimination.
Dr.
Win Myint also said this organisation is working for world peace with truth and
faith as its platform, which is why he believed Myanmar and the world will have
peace one day. He likened the existence of different religions to different
flowers in a garden, which add to the variety and colour.
