Scholarships help students chase personal development

When an individual pursues personal change, it is important for them to remain mindful about how their actions affect those around them. Improving the self has little relevance if it comes at the expense of another's happiness

For this reason, philosopher and author Ilchi Lee recently announced that his school, Global Cyber University will offer 50 percent scholarships for all students, which may help many individuals go after their goals of personal development.

The school offers classes in global business management, human services and Korean cultural studies. Aside from regular business lessons, each class offers students insights on how they can use their newly acquired skills to serve the world and make it a better place.

The HongIk Scholarship takes its name from this guiding principle. It comes from a Korean phrase that means "people who provide a wide-benefit for the betterment of the world."

Education plays a major role in Ilchi Lee's thoughts on spiritual growth. It is impossible to develop the self without working to improve the world, and a strong education can give individuals the skills to accomplish this.

Prayer of Peace brings spiritual healing to the masses

The world is in need of healing and spiritual awakening. However, most people are so worn out by the end of the day that the only thing they have energy for is watching some TV or listening to the radio. Yet, it can be difficult to find any programming that encourages spiritual growth on mainstream media.

To combat this, philosopher and author Ilchi Lee recently brought his Prayer of Peace to national radio in Canada. The was originally written and read for the 2000 United Nations Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders.

"The work of healing the pain and hurt and resolving the conflict and struggle on this earth begins with each of us," Lee said. "If each of us chooses health, happiness and peace and takes action, the earth will become a more beautiful star than ever."

To this point Ilchi Lee has brought his message of personal development to millions of people through his Prayer of Peace. This past New Year's Day, more than 2,100 individuals gathered to participate with Lee in a reading of the prayer.
