Genre

This entry is a primary source in the TPLegacy archive — a sermon, address, book chapter, prayer, or article authored by the speaker named above. The text is presented in its archival form for study and reference; it is not an editorial commentary or scholarly study. For doctrinal studies on terms appearing in this text, see our Doctrinal Encyclopedia.

Sources

This archive includes translated sermons of Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, foundational books of the Unification Movement (Exposition of the Divine Principle, Cheon Seong Gyeong, Pyeong Hwa Gyeong, Cham Bumo Gyeong, the underlying speech corpus 말씀선집), and records and writings preserved by disciples and members. Originally published by HSA-UWC (founded 1954) and successor bodies of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU). See full source list.

Academic context

The Unification Movement and its founders are documented in peer-reviewed academic literature — see our Scholarly Bibliography (196+ works) and Academic References.

Translation

Where an official English edition of this text exists, the English version reproduces the canonical translation. Where no official English edition exists, the English version is a working translation from the Korean original, prepared by translators with first-hand experience of Unification practice and reviewed for accuracy against the source. Some materials are originally in English (addresses given in English, English-language books) and are reproduced from the original. Korean serial references where available (e.g. CBG 245:154, vol. 205, p. 176) follow the standard pagination of the compilation cited. See editorial methodology.

Editorial role

True Parents Legacy is an independent educational archive. Our editorial role with respect to primary-source texts is limited to selection (which materials to include), dating (verification of speech and publication dates from available records), and translation (working English translations where no official edition exists). We do not alter, abridge, or paraphrase the content of primary-source texts. The archive does not necessarily represent the official position of FFWPU; for official statements, consult primary sources directly.
