Sydney’s religious representative Ms. Wurfel further explained:
“Scientology is the Philosophical aspects of L. Ron Hubbard’s works that are sufficient in itself to be applied in everyday existence.
“Scientology is the study of Knowledge, focused on individual’s goal and as a spiritual being and not as a physical body - to achieve the highness possible degree of self- sufficiency and independence through learned to know himself, In other words, Scientology seeks to “wake up” an invidual from his or her slumber and to enable him to awaken others too so they may regain their true spiritual nature, Ms Wurfel added.
To supplement Ms. Wurfel’s comment, Atsushi Tojo (Scientology) also expressed his comment on the 19th interfaith dialogue:
“I believe in self improvement, I only believe in what is applicable, where I just see the results, Mr Tojo said.

There is valid purpose in dialogue regarding an issue which could become desirable or even mandatory for interfaith action as the result of the dialogue.
There is, however, valid purpose as well in dialogue which takes place for its own sake – for the elucidation of subjects and for the forthcoming of the persons and feelings of the participants.
Interfaith dialogue is possible only when two convictions pre-exist in the participants:
According to the forum’s protocol, no participant should be seeking to proselytize any other participant.
The participants were persuaded of the inherent validity and integrity of all the faith groups involved in the dialogue and are persuaded that no group possesses total and absolute knowledge regarding the nature and works of God and human involvement with the Divine.
During his past keynote speech, HWPL Chairman Man Hee Lee proclaimed “The Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) that we drafted is a new legal framework that can bring about the cessation of war and world peace. Prime Ministers and chief justices together with the National Assembly of each nation must acknowledge the value and principles of the DPCW and propel and support the development process of the DPCW.
“If we do it, it is possible. If we don’t do it, it won’t happen” repeatedly reminding all the people in the governmental affairs and legal experts of the significance of the legislation of the law for peace.
IWPG Chairwoman Nam Hee Kim said, “We ask the chiefs of state, judges and the United Nations to work together for advocacy of the international law for cessation of war. Also, we ask ministers of states to give the message of peace and work with governments to advocate and implement the international law.
“People from all walks of life are working for peace; organizations and schools are providing peace education and women and youth are taking the lead in protecting themselves.’
