The Life and Peace Fellowship organization (led by a Buddhist monk Dobub) who planned to make 100 days’ life and peace pilgrim throughout whole Korea made its first start in the Jeju Island, paying a launch ceremony at the April 3rd Peace Park on March 1 then moving to the Gangjeong village, the planned Jeju naval base area where the villagers have struggled against the base plan near four years, on the same day. The members of the Life and Peace Fellowship organization staying their first night in the village, staged 100 bows and prayer with some villagers in front of the stone altar, early next morning. The village’s archaic altar could not be used for their own annual ceremony for three years because the makeshift naval field office building had made their entry to here difficult since 2008. The villagers and members of the Life and Peace Fellowship thought it was important to have a ceremony here again to revitalize the energy of the village. See the videos at the bottom of this blog.

Otherwise, Jane Jin Kaisen who is making a documentary on the Jeju with her husband Gus Sondin-Kung thankfully sent some photos on March 2. The photos of construction in the naval field office is from her. You can see their website here.
