Joyful Weekend Cultural Events
While weekdays were focused on individual connections and prayer, the weekends transformed into vibrant celebrations of global harmony.

Capitalizing on the open hearts and warm environment cultivated by the volunteers, Mr. Paudel formally introduced the new guests to the core vision of the movement. With grace and clarity, he shared the inspiring heart and teachings of Holy Mother Han, connecting the beauty of the cultural experience to a profound spiritual message of peace and global family.
