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]
Principles
Doalnara's principles are based on lessons by "Teacher" Suk Sun, whose teachings include:
First: When you trace back to the origins and root of humanity, we all came from the same parents and are one family. This is not just a sentiment or theory.
Second: All of humanity's countless troubles and problems originate from our hearts. Eliminating selfishness in the heart changes the earth into a world that can truly prosper.
Third: The true happiness humanity seeks is fulfilled when our household becomes a “mini-heaven”. Not when we "go to" heaven.
Doalnara lifestyle
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 members observe the Sabbath, from Friday evening to Saturday evening.
The Decalogue
Doalnara keeps the Decalogue, a modified version of the Ten Commandments. The Decalogue sums the Ten Commandments into “With your heart, love your Heavenly Real Parents who begot you, and do not fight with your brethren but live happily.” Doalnara communities do not have or support the use of alcohol, tobacco, violence, verbal and physical abuse, agricultural chemicals, chemical additives, and the like.
New Agriculture: Respecting the Land
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.
