The Doalnara Restoration Society was established in South Korea in 1980 in by Teacher Suk Sun. [1]
Doalnara (which means "Stone Country" in Korean) refers to a society of people who follow Heaven’s Providence with unchanging heart and character as firm as stone. [2]
Doalnara developed 10 organic farms in Korea; and there are also Doalnara branches outside of Korea, in the United States, Japan, the Philippines, Kenya, Brazil, and more. [3]
Doalnara's principles are based on lessons by Teacher Suk Sun, whose teachings include:
Instead of using titles such as president, chairman, bishop, or any traditional titles, family titles are used such as brother, sister, mother, father, aunt, and uncle. When a title is necessary in taking responsibilities for specific activities, along with an accepted title, the person would be addressed as the family member who is in the position to humbly serve others with brotherly love.
Doalnara communities do not have or support the use of alcohol, tobacco, violence, verbal and physical abuse, agricultural chemicals, chemical additives, and the like.
Doalnara members observe the Sabbath, from Friday evening to Saturday evening.
Doalnara practices to keep the Decalogue, or Ten Commandments. A simple way it has been summed up is “With your heart, love your Heavenly Real Parents who begot you, and do not fight with your brethren but live happily.”
All Doalnara regions throughout the world adhere to agricultural practices that value the soil and seek to understand nature instead of using conventional agricultural practices. Instead of using chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and/or herbicides, Doalnara only uses organic farming methods with environmental restoration as its highest priority. As a result, all products grown by Doalnara are free from agricultural chemicals. [4]
Doalnara members eat foods grown from unharmed and unsprayed soil. Besides sharing and consuming fresh foods, by research and development, Doalnara also uses its produce to make various health food products.
