Hoon Dok Hae in Kona

Date: 2002-02-25
True Parents arrived in Kona, Hawaii at 7:40 a.m. February 25th with entourage.

The offering of respectful bows, a presentation of flowers and the cutting of a welcoming cake before True Parents, heralded the celebration of the first anniversary of the USA 50-state rally tour in the conference room.

Following this, True Parents directed their assistant Reverend Peter Hyo-Yul Kim to read the newly-published "Reverend Sun Myung Moon’s education philosophy".

During the Hoon Dok Hae, True Parents told us "The reason why we read this book is that we lost all basic attitude and tradition of precious word. Therefore, repent all false things by reading this book and live with mind of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience."

True Father said "I have never had the experience of not performing kyungbae on Sunday over 50 years. You must find the standard for Parents and Children to unite in front of Heaven in the family with this."

Also, True Father told us to restore the clan. He told us " From now, the time of evangelical work outside has passed and the time of mission to restore the whole clan has come. So you accomplish restoration of Cain and Abel centering on the whole clan.

True Father emphasized in particular that young members of the clergy should strongly participate in the 144,000 clergy blessing ceremony.

After the Hoon Dok Hae at 11:00 p.m., True Parents had dinner with Rev. Yoon Tae Geun and the staff of Sea Mountain before retiring to their official residence.
