Cho Closes the First Symposium: 'The Seed Is Planted'

0:00 Thank you so much. It's been a long day, but it was so amazing and a very joyful day today. I'm not going to present anything. I'm just going to finish up the symposium today. So I'd like to invite Master Cho here and then Dr. Park, to finish up today's symposium. Now, at the end of today, we invite the Director [Master Cho] and Director Park to the stage, and with their closing words we will bring our symposium to an end.

오늘 마지막으로 원장님과 박 원장님을 무대에 모셔서 결론을 내리면서 우리 심포지엄을 마치고자 합니다.

1:14 Today there were 23 presentations. In the past, each country held its own symposiums, workshops or conferences. Today, in a sense, we came from many countries and held one symposium together. Today we saw how natural farming is going successfully in countries all over the world.

오늘 스물세 개의 발표가 있었습니다. 과거에는 각 나라별로 심포지엄이나 워크샵, 컨퍼런스가 있었습니다. 오늘 우리가 어떻게 보면 많은 국가에서 와서 이렇게 심포지엄을 하게 되었습니다. 오늘 우리는 전 세계 각국에서 이 자연농업이 어떻게 성공적으로 진행되고 있는지를 보았습니다.

2:19 Until now it has not yet spread to many countries of the world. So far not many countries have been spread this news, new information, as yet. But looking at it now, in 2016, many countries around the world are just about to start natural farming. [Interpreter, in English: "I think we are at the very starting point. From now on, 2016, we're going to have a big movement of this Korean Natural Farming throughout the whole world."] If the whole world takes up natural farming and finds it hard and fussy and makes many mistakes, it will take a very long time.

지금까지는 전 세계의 많은 나라에 아직 보급되지는 않았습니다. 그러나 2016년 지금 봤을 때 전 세계의 많은 국가들이 이제 이 자연농업을 막 시작하려고 하고 있습니다. 만약에 전 세계가 이 자연농업을 시작하는데 이 자연농업이 어렵고 까다롭고 또 많은 실수를 한다면 정말 많은 시간이 필요할 것입니다.

3:08 Since March this year, here in Paju, Korea, I have been teaching natural farming hands-on with our graduate students, on a range of crops, and they wrote papers, ran the trials, and presented them today. We have practiced this Korean Natural Farming in Paju, Korea, with graduate students of many different countries,

저는 올해 3월부터 한국 파주에서 우리 대학원생들과 함께 직접 여러가지 작물을 대상으로 자연농업을 가르치고 또 논문을 쓰고 해서 시험을 했고, 오늘 발표를 했습니다.

3:54 and we have tried to accumulate information to present for today. Most of these graduate students who came from abroad first learned natural farming from March, and then practiced it. While studying at the university they learned natural farming, and they went about an hour and a half from here to practice it.

이 외국에서 온 대부분의 대학원생들은 자연농업을 처음 3월달부터 배우고 또 자연농업을 했습니다. 그들은 학교에서 공부를 하면서 자연농업도 배우고 또 여기서 한 시간 반 거리를 가서 자연농업을 했습니다.

4:40 ...about one and a half hours' distance by driving, and then they practice natural farming there. I think this is the first time we have an international symposium, but this is a great opportunity to learn what real natural farming needs. Even though these students only started this year, they succeeded with natural farming. So these students farmed in Paju,

이 학생들이 올해 처음으로 시작했는데도 자연농업에서 성공을 했습니다. 그래서 이 학생들이 파주에서 농업을 하는데

5:27 so that they could learn theory and practice at the same time, and by discussing it together, they have now gained some confidence that they can do natural farming when they go back to their own countries. And now one person from Kenya has also come to receive natural farming training. Now, one of us from Kenya is here to receive training in natural farming.

이론과 실무를 동시에 배우면서도 이것을 할 수 있게 하기 위해서 서로 같이 토론하면서 이제 어느 정도 자기네 나라 돌아가서도 자연농업을 할 수 있는 자신감을 얻게 되었습니다. 이제 케냐에서도 한 명이 자연농업 훈련 받기 위해서 또 왔습니다.

6:25 He is not a student, ...the missionary farmer. So he joined this theoretical, or the academic, session, but he's just one of the farmers working for the missionary. Most of you here know natural farming well and are already doing it to some degree. Our mission is not only to practice natural farming ourselves, but to join forces and spread it in our own countries and across the world.

여기 계신 대부분의 분들은 자연농업을 잘 알고, 어느 정도 지금 하고 있는 분들입니다. 우리의 임무는 우리가 자연농업을 하는 것뿐만 아니라 우리 나라에 또 전 세계에 우리가 힘을 합하여 이 자연농업을 전파하는 것입니다.

7:21 This task, this mission, is simply impossible for our Director Cho Han-kyu alone, or for just a few of us. So, to carry this mission, I believe all of us gathered here today must join forces to spread natural farming across the world and the earth, and make it a truly good place to live. I think we have to put our own effort together, every one of us put it together, to spread this new natural farming movement throughout the whole world.

이러한 임무는, 이러한 사명은 우리 조한규 원장 혼자나 우리 몇 사람의 힘으로는 도저히 불가능합니다. 따라서 우리는 이러한 사명을 감당하기 위해서 오늘 이 자리에서 이 자리에 참석한 우리 모두가 힘을 합하여 이 세계, 지구에 자연농업을 전파하는 것에서 정말 살기 좋은 그러한 것을 우리가 이루기 위해서 힘을 합쳐야 된다고 믿습니다.

8:31 As the Director said today, this is the first international symposium. Being the first, it is very small, but I believe and hope that with the second and third, this symposium will grow far greater. I think today is the small to start, but as time goes on, we're going to have a very strong and large scale of this information to share. Thank you very much. [Master Cho:] Every step you have taken will become a tremendous driving force for bringing this earth back to life. I don't know how many years I have left,

오늘 원장님이 말씀하셨듯이 첫 번째 인터내셔널 심포지엄인데, 앞으로 2차, 3차 갈 때는… 1차는 처음이라서 너무나 작지만 앞으로 갈수록 이 창대한 심포지엄이 굉장히 더욱더 발전되리라 믿고 소망합니다. 아주 고맙습니다. 여러분이 걸어온 한 발짝 한 발짝은 이 지구를 살리는 엄청난 원동력이 될 겁니다. 제가 남은 세월이 얼마나 될지 모르겠지만

9:19 but I will do my best to back this up. This is the beginning. Now the seed has been planted. This is the beginning. We just plant the seed now.

최선을 다해서 뒷받침하겠습니다. 이제 시작입니다. 이제 종자가 심어졌습니다.

10:06 With the fertilizer of your love, raise this natural farming, until the day everyone in the global village lives happily. Freedom! We have to spread the fertilizer of love to grow this one big enough to save this world. Thank you very much! So, right now, we have a special performance from Taiwan.

여러분의 사랑의 거름으로 이 자연농업을 길러서 지구촌이 모두가 다 행복하게 살아가는 그날까지, 자유!

11:37 Hello everyone. We are from Taiwan. Apparently this couple have some special performance for you. He just introduced that we are from Tayal. This couple is from Taiwan, the original people. It's a tribe called Tayal. It is a special program, because it's Master Cho's special order. This is something that just come out of the time. We didn't prepare. We didn't prepare that we have this kind of performance.

12:23 And they're going to perform a combination of their tribe's harmony song, all put together. We are very grateful that Professor Zhao came to Taiwan to teach us natural agriculture, especially since he has a great responsibility for the people of Taiwan. I want to offer a special thanks to Master Cho for his special love for Taiwan, to the people.

13:11 This song means that we are all family. We all can remember. (song) Where is my hometown? Where is your hometown? In the past we were one family, and now we are still one family.

我的家鄉在哪裡 你的家鄉在哪裡 從前是一家人 現在還是一家人

14:06 (song, in Chinese) Loved long ago, loved from now on, because we are all one family; now we are still one family.

从前深爱 从今深爱 因为我们都是一家人 现在还是一家人 因为我们都是一家人

15:03 Because I'm half Beijingese, I'm not very good at Chinese. Fighting! Go! Okay, now time to finish. After we finish, we have some announcements. No announcements? Alright, quickly, we have two announcements. For those who need parking coupon, parking ticket, you can get them from the reception.

15:49 And the second thing is the meal coupon for dinner. And Ms. Rose will distribute the meal coupon. Koreans, you can come and get your meal coupons. One more? Thank you. Before we close the symposium today, I'd like to appreciate the team members of the Global Agricultural Development and Cooperation Center at Konkuk University. Our team is an international team. We had two international conferences, today and yesterday, and they have been very successful.

16:29 I'd like to appreciate them. The Korean, this Global Center members, can you stand up please? Thank you very much. Thank you so much for your cooperation. With your … this symposium went very smoothly. Okay, now time to shout the slogan and finish our first symposium today. Okay. Lo! Ai! Aloha!

17:15 Sarang! In Chinese... Lokah! And Kenyan, how do you say? Mapenzi! Any other country? Sri Lanka, how do you say? Angku! Any other country? Japanese? And then? Cameroon? Lambo! Afghanistan? Dosta! Ghana? Boyo! Philippines?

18:00 Pag-ibig! Okay. Finally, let's shout it and finish. Lo! Ai! Aloha! Sarang! Thank you.
