On November 16, 2025, a Blessing Education Level 1 seminar was successfully conducted via the Zoom virtual platform. The seminar aimed to provide updates and comprehensive insights to individuals involved in the matching process, as well as to deepen their appreciation for the Blessing bestowed by the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind. A total of ten participants attended the event composed of Matching Candidates and Matching Supporters.
The program was enthusiastically participated by the matching supporters, which proved to be highly beneficial. This engagement allowed them to gain a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the matching process. Consequently, they are now better equipped to provide comprehensive guidance and support to their candidates, ensuring they are well-informed and prepared as they progress towards receiving the Blessing.
Mrs. Teresita Jumawan, Area 5 BFD, delivered a compelling lecture centered on the theme of personal readiness for partnership. She emphasized that the bedrock of any successful relationship lies within the individual’s commitment to cultivating a character rooted in selfless service and empathy having thought in mind of becoming the right person first before finding the right one. Mrs. Jumawan articulated that embracing a lifestyle of “living for the sake of others” is not merely a philosophical ideal but a practical necessity for building a strong and enduring bond. She challenged participants to examine their own motivations and ensure they are approaching the matching process with a genuine desire to contribute to the well-being of their future spouse and family.
Mrs. Dulce Buyayo, Asia BFD Director, provided a deeply insightful presentation on the profound significance and intrinsic value of receiving the Blessing. She articulated that attaining the Blessing is not simply a personal milestone but a fulfillment of the Heavenly Parents’ divine aspiration for humanity. Mrs. Buyayo passionately underscored the importance of upholding sexual purity before marriage as a sacred commitment to one’s future spouse and to God. Furthermore, she emphasized the indispensable role of unwavering fidelity within the marital bond as a cornerstone of a lasting and harmonious relationship.
Mrs. Catherine Gregorio, BFD Director of the Philippine Region, presented a comprehensive overview of the Blessing guidelines, providing participants with a clear roadmap of the processes and preparations required before attending the Blessing ceremony. She meticulously detailed the necessary documentation, logistical arrangements, and spiritual preparations that participants should undertake to ensure a smooth and meaningful experience. Mrs. Gregorio’s presentation aimed to demystify the Blessing process and empower participants with the knowledge and confidence to navigate each step with clarity and purpose.
Throughout these lectures, the participants actively engaged with the material, listening attentively and sharing their reflections. Each participant was reminded of their individual responsibility in preparing themselves for this sacred commitment.
The seminar culminated with Mrs. Dulce Buyayo offering final words of guidance and encouragement, leaving participants with a renewed sense of determination and a more profound understanding of the Blessing’s significance. Mrs. Buyayo emphasized that the path to a successful and fulfilling blessed life extends far beyond mere external preparations. While logistical arrangements and adherence to guidelines are important, she stressed that true readiness lies in cultivating a deep, internal understanding of the Blessing’s inherent value and spiritual purpose. Participants were encouraged to embrace the opportunity to embark on a transformative new stage of life, one centered on building a relationship grounded in the teachings and love of the Heavenly Parents and True Parents. She inspired participants to view the Blessing not as an end goal, but as a powerful foundation upon which to build a lifetime of shared growth, service, and devotion.
