Master Woo Myung Poem – The Sky Is the Stage and the Creations Are the Actors
Many things may come and go in the empty space of the sky,
but the sky always just exists.
This sky is the mother and father of all creations;
it raises and rears all creations,
and it is also the stage.
Numerous actors may come and go on this stage, but the stage is always just there.
Heaven and earth are drawings,
as are the sky and sea.
All creations on earth are drawings –
everything is a drawing.
When those drawings do not exist,
only the origin – the paper – remains.
When I am reborn as the paper, I am the master of all creation.
I am the origin, for I am reborn within myself,
and I am the master, because I am reborn within myself.
Whether I come or go,
I, who have become real, always just exist.
-Woo Myung-
