Master Woo Myung Poem – Enlightenment I
Though one may live in the world sighing,
though one may live in the world laughing,
they are all futile dreams.
Time passes,
making everything into a dream
and scattering all existent images into pieces.
Having lived attached to those images is one’s error.
Let us go seek out Truth.
Where could it be?
It is not up in the sky;
Truth is the place where I have come from
and it is where I will return.
But people do not know Truth and thus are lost.
I see that Truth is the existence
that is within the emptiness,
and though it may be invisible,
in it there is material existence.
Truth is the eternal and never-changing self,
which everyone must know
so that we may be together forever.
-Woo Myung-
