β¦ The True Parents Legacy β¦
The team behind the archive
A small group of researchers and archivists preserving the words and works of the True Parents β Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon β sourced, verified, and freely accessible.
Welcome to The True Parents Legacy. My name is Jon Auror, and I serve as editor and primary curator of this digital collection.
Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon β the True Parents β spoke, prayed, and labored for over six decades. Their words were given in chapels, conference halls, prison cells, and at the kitchen tables of strangers who became family. The transcripts of those teachings now number in the tens of thousands. Without careful work, much of it risks being scattered, mistranslated, or forgotten.
What you find here is more than teaching. It is the record of two lives joined in 1960 β lives carried through persecution and prison, through global mission and quiet hours at home. Their words cannot be separated from how those words were lived.
This archive is my answer to that risk. Every entry traces back to a primary source. Every quotation is verified against the original transcript or publication. Where dates or contexts are uncertain, we say so plainly rather than guessing.
You are welcome to read, to question, and to write to us if something here needs correction. The legacy belongs to those who treasure it β and that includes you.
β¦ Our mission β¦
