August 6th is always hot and humid in Hiroshima, Japan. This year, 45 girls of various nationalities gathered together at Hiroshima Jogakuin University to study about PEACE during the 2012 Peace and Leadership Summer Seminar. Most of these girls have no experience of war because they are living in a peaceful world. To study peace, the rst question to ask is, What is PEACE? This was the main theme that the participants had to break through. During the seminar, we provided many methods and modes for the participants to think about PEACE. None of the lecturers gave them de nite answers to their quest. However, we provided stories and clues so they could think for themselves about the meaning of PEACE. PEACE is not something that you can see. PEACE is not what you can describe in one word. PEACE is something you feel and de ne by yourselves. PEACE is not just a concept, but it is something we must try to create with action. For without action, PEACE will easily disappear. It is fragile and requires the collective effort and union of many people to protect it from being destroyed. I do not expect the participants to come up with the answer immediately. In fact, I want them to continue thinking of PEACE throughout their lives. Our Peace Seminar in Hiroshima was a chance for participants to analyze their own ways of thinking. Peace is not only a goal to obtain, but a method of obtaining other objects. Therefore, to understand peace, one must learn HOW they think about peace. Many participants wrote to me that the Peace Seminar in Hiroshima was a life changing experience. I am so glad that we were able to provide the opportunity for them to change their ways of thinking while they are still young. I am sure everyone will make their experience a starting point to be a peace maker in their own community. We need action! Let us work together for a world of peace and reconciliation.

irst of all, I would like to thank the organizers for their kind invitation again to be part of this important meeting. I commend and congratulate them for their signicant initiative. I feel very much honored and privileged to be able to deliver one of the presentations at this seminar. I am also grateful that I am given this opportunity to renew our friendship with old friends and meet new friends here in Hiroshima. The topic assigned to me is to overview and reect upon peace in the context of Japan and East Asia. This is very difficult task but an important and interesting subject. I would like to begin with a story, a true story about cookies. A man from England told me this story and I would like to tell you just as he told me. A dear friend of mine in Manchester, England, went to a tea shop, ordered herself some tea and packet of cookies of what they call biscuits. And she sat down and began to drink her tea and looked at her magazine. Now, she also began to realize that there was a man sitting across from her, who suddenly appeared. And he is opening a packet of cookies in the center of the table and he takes one out and starts to eat it. Now she is a little surprised but this man is from the West Indies. He is black, so she doesnt know what to say, but she reaches out and she pulls the cookies to her, to make sure he knows whose cookies they are. And she takes a cookie and eats and goes back to her magazine. But she is not really reading her magazine. She is kind of looking around to see whats going to happen next. And sure enough, the man reaches all the way across the table and takes the second cookie from the packet. Now she is beginning to be annoyed. She doesnt know what to do. She just takes a second cookie and eats it. Now there were 5 cookies in the packet. So, there is one cookie left. And sure enough, this gentleman reaches all the way across the table again and he takes the last cookie. Then, he breaks it. And he gives her half. Now she is just very angry, but she doesnt know what to do. He nishes his tea and he politely greets her, Have a good day, and he leaves. Well, her day is ruined and she gulps down her tea and takes her magazine. And she starts to put her magazine into her purse, and she stops, for there in her bag is her packet of cookies. The cookies they had been eating were not her cookies, they were his cookies. Let me ask you some questions. Would you raise your hand if the question is appropriate for you to answer? How many of you had a cup of coffee this morning? How many of you drive a
Japanese car? How many of you have any clothing mad in Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong? I believe that most of the coffee we drink is coming from Colombia, Brazil, Vietnam or Indonesia. Also, the clothing that we are wearing comes from the hardship of women factory workers in China, Pakistan, Taiwan and India. We live in an inter-related global community and yet there is a sense of separation and brokenness between us. Every day we might be eating cookies that we think are ours but they really belong to other people. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, Before you nish eating breakfast this morning, you have depended on more than half the world. He was right and hes right. An interrelated world is not necessarily an inter-dependent world. According the scripture that we read this morning, I assume that Zaccheaus must have had a good reason to climb the tree to see Jesus, because it is quite dangerous to climb up high in a tree. But maybe it was more dangerous for Zaccheaus to be in the crowd since he was a chief tax collector who was hated by the devout Jews because he cheated people and was considered a traitor. Since he was working for a Roman Empire, Zaccheaus was rich but miserable. He was not welcomed by the community and did not have any real fulllment in his life. However, strange thing happened to Zaccheaus after he welcomed Jesus to his house and ate with him. Zaccheaus, all of a sudden stood up and said to Jesus, Listen sir, I will give half of my belongings to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will pay him or her back four times as much. Isnt this an amazing statement by Zaccheaus? Zaccheaus was a man who collected taxes and held on to much more than he needed. Also, Zaccheaus was a man who had a cash flow problem. Unlike my cash flow problem with yen or US$, money simply stopped with Zaccheaus. He didnt share his possessions with other people. But after encountering Jesus, he stood up and promised to contribute to the poor and restore fourfold to those he had wrongfully cheated. It is interesting to note here that Zaccheaus repentance is the consequence, not the cause of Jesus approach. In other words, when Jesus came into his life, Zaccheaus could not help but stand and declare that he would give half of his belongings to the poor. Salvation brings a sense of sharing with one another. Mother Teresa shared the story that when she visited poor family in India, she brought a handful of rice with her. When Mother gave a rice to the old lady of the family, she soon took half of the rice

so he used to pray for plants and animals by himself after his mother left his room. He believed that we needed to empathize with all the creatures having the will to live. A sense of reverence for life such as this can also be found in communities in Japan and in communities in Asia. If you read the Bible, you can see how in the early period of Christianity, Christians used to share everything they had with others in their communities. It was customary for them to have meals together before the service so that no one prays to God while feeling hungry during the service. The meal was called an Agape Meal. I believe community principles similar to those in Christianity exist in communities of fishery villages and agricultural villages in Japan and also in village communities in East Asian countries. The principle of sharing, developed in communities, was considered to be something feudalistic, something outdated, in the modernization process. The role that is required of religious practitioners now in order to establish a peace community in East Asia must be to put into practice the ideas that bring us back to the very basics of religions and the fundamental principles of religious communities Now, I would like to take a close look at non-peace situation in North East Asia, particularly in relation to Korean Peninsula. It is a historical fact that Japan was directly involved in the
peninsula as its colonizer for about 35 years, and that the Korean Peninsula was divided by the United States and the Soviet Union at the end of World War II. Although Japan established normal relations with South Korea in 1965, it still has no diplomatic ties with DPRK 67 years after the wars end. Japan was moving to restarting stalled talks aimed at establishing diplomatic relations with the DPRK after the Summit between former Prime Minister Koizume and Mr. Kim Jong Il in 2002. When the Pyongyang declaration was issued, Many NGOs, citizens groups and church related organizations sent a letter of congratulations to Mr. Koizumi on the success of the meeting that he had opened the new door for the diplomatic relations. This was very unusual as we always send a letter of protest or demands to him. We gave him credit for his eagerness to move things forward but it has not been producing all the expected results. On the contrary, it created a massive negative campaign against the DPRK by the

Reections on the 2012 Hiroshima Peace Seminar
by Ms.Courtney Lawrence, 2012 Peace Seminar Director and HJU Global Studies in English Lecturer
The 2012 Peace Seminar, made possible by the generous support of the Wesley Foundation and hosted by Hiroshima Jogakuin University, was a truly unforgettable experience. From August 3-7th over 50 students and faculty from across Asia, Africa and North America convened to think deeply about the themes of peace and conflict among a backdrop of the Hiroshima case study. The seminar was intentionally designed to foster dialogue, inspiration and empower participants to actively engage in building the peaceful society they wish to see as global citizens and change agents. The seminar comprised a wide spectrum of activities including: interactive workshops, dynamic lectures, panel presentations, Hibakusha (survivor) testimonials, media trainings, interfaith devotionals, independent lm screenings, dance performances, local home-stays, city explorations, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, and the profound August 6th Hiroshima Peace Memorial Service. Below you will nd seminar session snapshots illustrating many of the highlights: Lecture: Hiroshima Grassroots and Nuclear Abolition by Mr. Steve Leeper, Chairperson of Hiroshima Peace and Culture Foundation According to the student evaluations this lecture was one of the most popular. Much of the lecture focused on the need for the participants to become active members of the peace culture in the face of the omnipresent war culture that characterizes and dominates global politics significantly today. Mr.Leeper offered statistics and facts regarding the state of the contemporary nuclear abolition movement and challenged the participants to take part. Panel Presentation: New Generation, New Era- Peace Message to the Young Generation of the World by Mr. Clifton Daniel Truman, Mr. Ali Beezer, Mr. Masahiro Sasaki This ground-breaking panel presentation was a particularly unique component to the seminar discourse on peace and conict- especially in terms of reconciliation. The panel featured the siblings of the A-bomb perpetrators and victims: including ex-President Trumans grandson, Sadako Sasakis brother (inspiration for the story of a thousand origami paper cranes) and Ali Beezers grandson (US Enola Gay Pilot). The discussion focused primarily on contemporary world peace, politics and the younger generations task to take action. Interactive Workshops: I) Being and Becoming a Peacebuilder and Working for Contemporary Peace- Social Activism and II) Peacebuilding in Todays World by Professor Jun Manalo, University of the Philippines Workshops on how to create tangible action steps for peacebuilding were integrated into the seminar to provide a theoretical perspective and practical framework for creating societal change. Professor Manalo presented case-studies and led interactive sessions to challenge the participants to think critically about the complexity of the peacebuilding process and how they can apply these learnings in their own context. Hibakusha: Testimony of an A-Bomb Survivor by Ms. Koko Kondo It is a great fortune to be able to personally meet one of the remaining Hibakusha, survivors from the dreadful day of August 6, 1946. Based on seminar evaluation feedback, Ms. Kondos moving and eloquent testimony of her experience was a true and unforgettable highlight for many of the seminar participants. Although most of the week focused on the intellectual aspects of peace and conflict, Ms. Kokos talk

The opening Devotion and Keynote given by Dr. Yamamoto Toshimasa and Claudia Yamamoto spoke of the importance of peace and the impact of world-wide peace movements. First, Claudia Yamato sang with us in sign language, then discussed her understanding of peace. Dr. Yamamoto emphasized the necessity of justice to make peace. We were enlightened by their words, learning that we cannot abandon our goals for peace. Through justice we can obtain peace. -Student Participant, Japan
Keynote Devotion: Relation of Justice, Injustice and Peace Speaker: Dr. Toshimasa YAMAMOTO
by Dr. Barry K. Rhoades, 2012 Peace Seminar Faculty Participant and Professor at Wesleyan College
August 6th Memorial Services/Ceremonies I appreciated attending the August 6 services, and it was good to have already visited the museum to learn more about the actual bombing event, its immediate aftermath, and its subsequent importance as a focal point for international peace/nuclear disarmament efforts. Frankly, I got more out of the surroundings of the service than the service itself. I was moved by the experience of interacting with the cub scouts and others on the entry plaza, by placing flowers at the memorial, and the general sense of being with a large number of people all taking the time to remember and reect on the tragic event of the bombing. Similarly, I appreciated attending the Hiroshima Jogakuin High School ceremony. Attending the services was a valuable, integral, and central part of the seminar and an experience that should be retained for future seminars. Hiroshimas Historical and Contemporary Roles in the International Peace Movement This was essential to the success of the seminar. The same seminar held anywhere else in the word or at any other time of the year would not have been nearly as engaging and effective. The surrounding presence of the city and the temporal presence of the anniversary provided a sense of immediacy, immersion, and continuity, which kept the seminar both focused and relevant. As an example, I was struck by similarities between how I felt in the Hiroshima Peace Museum and in the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. A major difference which made the Peace Museum more meaningful was its being on-site for both the unspeakable tragedy of the event and the inspiring example of the recovery and rejuvenation of the city. I have returned from my time in Japan with a very strong appreciation for the unique position of which Hiroshima holds as a symbol for world peace.

To better cater to the diverse audience of the HJU Summer Peace Seminar, Dr. Ron Klein from HJU led the Interfaith Devotion with his aptly titled Christian Values for the Non-Christian. He spoke to many of the listeners, who were of various other religious beliefs, and encouraged them to stay open minded about Christian values. Hailing from a Jewish background in the United States, Dr. Klein himself had to face this constant conict of growing up in a society that was pretty much pro-Christian, and he delivered some useful thoughts regarding values we could apply universally, Christian or not. Talking about values like the Golden Rule and love thy neighbor made us realize that there was much to apply to our daily lives from Christian teachings regardless of our beliefs. The most important thing Dr. Klein left us with was that we could always assimilate the good points instead of merely rejecting the religion as a whole, which is crucial for living in a world with so much diversity in thought. -Student Participant, Japan
Cory Wilson- the director of the Collaborative gave the summer seminar students a wonderful experience of studying media and how to use media to inuence Peace and Conict. We learned that how the audience interprets information depends on each individual as a consumer of knowledge. -Student Participant, Vietnam
Everyone enjoyed displaying their own cultures, while also celebrating each others culture! Together we learned dances, music, games, and cultural norms of Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia, USA, the Philippines, and Jamaica! The participants broke different cultural barriers during this experience by laughing and moving together!
Cory Wilson continued his teachings about the role of media on peace. In this workshop, we also learned what we can do to make media inuential. In the workshop, we studied and experienced how to maintain relationships with the interviewee, how to ask questions, and how to setup the environment for the interview. Cory also emphasized the importance of cultural difference and that awareness of it is very important when we conduct international interviews. -Student Participant, Vietnam

Koko Kondo told us her childhood story as one of the survivors of the Hiroshima A-Bomb. After her talk, students could ask questions and express their opinion/impression. It was a wonderful opportunity to see personal evidence of the despair of the tragedy. Yet, what was the most moving, was her hope and her dedication toward peace. -Student Participant, Japan

We learned how to be good and proper interviewers. We also learned the artistry of taking good pictures. He taught us how ask appropriate questions and then we practiced asking people open-ended questions. To be a good journalist or story-teller, we must learn how to listen and ask. -Student Participant, Japan
Director of Suburban Development Section, Sewer Canal Division, Facilities Department, Sewerage Bureau
In this lecture, Mr. Miyoshi taught us about how Hiroshima was reconstructed from the appalling tragedy of the atomic-bomb. The sacrifice was tremendous, but the people of Hiroshima sustained their effort to reconstruct the city until it w a s c o m p l e t e . We l e a r n e d t h e p r o c e s s o f p e o p l e s e f f o r t s t o reconstruct Hiroshima through many statistics, pictures and even a film. That film showed the real reconstruction of Hiroshima, and it helped us realize the actuality of the efforts put in to rebuilding this city. We can have hope that this world can be in peace when people endeavor in building together. We can have the will for it through learning the power of people by learning about those who lived in Hiroshima at that time. -Student Participant, Japan
Participants and other ordinary people attended. Clifton Daniel Truman spoke about the difculty of a peace-builders position in the world. The Sasakis explained Sadakos strong hope for peace and the importance of telling Sadakos story to the next generation without hatred. Participants asked questions based on their denition of peace and the speakers expressed their opinion of peace in the future. -Student Participant, HJU

After the first two songs, we heard a short message from Chaplain Sawamura, the chaplain at HJU. The main issues addressed that if we act selsh, we create hell, not heaven, while on earth. It is easy to be selsh and let ourselves create misery. After Rev. Sawamurus talk, I learned that when I put away my selfish thoughts and do something for someone else, I change. Not only can I help others, but doing so, I help myself. -Student Participant, Japan

Questionnaire Feedback
This has been one of the most profound and enjoyable experiences of
important understanding.
It was a great chance for me to increase my awareness and cultural
world.
Koko Kondos lecture was fascinating and inspiring. She was vulnerable yet
contained. Her explanation as a victim presented the truth of the matter but without anger or bias.
I have had the most incredible experience this summer. I am grateful for this
opportunity and appreciate all that was done for me and the other participants!
I certainly enjoyed working with the Programs and Education Teams. After the seminar, rather than just improve myself, I want to help other people.
