True Father has emphasized the following in regard to the importance of the Cheongpyeong 40-day workshops for the second generation:

"So far, the Unification Church with its physical foundation has been cleansing the fallen world. Thus, there needs to be a movement to connect this physical foundation with a spiritual foundation. However, this movement does not come about through human power. You have to understand that this movement is a worldwide movement centered on Cheongpyeong. Everything that has been polluted through Satan′s blood lineage has to be cleansed here. The standard of being able to receive assistance from the angelic world has to be linked to the second generation first.....Therefore, every second generation member, without exception, has to come to Cheongpyeong and have spiritual experiences through a 40-day workshop. If you cannot have spiritual experiences, and cannot come to know yourself better, even after completing a 40-day workshop, you had better postpone school or work until later, and undergo at least 120 days of training. Furthermore, you have to understand that you cannot receive the Blessing unless you participate in a Cheongpyeong workshop." (February 2, 1998, True Parents′ Birthday Pledge Service, Hannam-dong Residence)

The workshop schedule has been arranged so as to enable international second generation members (all second generation members living outside of Korean and Japan) to attend the Cheongpyeong 40-day workshop during the summer holidays. The schedule is as follows. Please make this schedule known so that many second generation members can participate together this summer.

*2nd Generation who have already finished 40-day workshop more than once before can apply for the staff members of the international 40-day workshop for 2nd Generations which will be held from July 1.

*A 21-day workshop will be held for those second generation members who are not able to fully participate in the 40-day workshop.

*If any second generation member completes a 21-day workshop two times(this time and one other time), that can be considered as their full attendance of one 40-day workshop.
