stage of joy, happiness and thankfulness.[TheTradition says:] farewell
greetings by the immediate family, trinity members and close friends may
be offered at home or in the memorial ("funeral") chapel.
Sunghwa Ceremony
With this ceremony as a
passport to the Unification Spirit Sphere, the members can possibly be

since his departure to the spirit world. [The Tradition writes:] originally,
this could not have been begun until the True Parents went to the spiritual

spiritual world, blessed members can now receive the foundation of the
ceremony.
