Master Woo Myung Poem – A Superior Person

A person who believes himself to be superior,
a person who believes himself to be clever,
is actually a truly inferior person,
he is someone who has bound his own legs.
Who is a truly superior person?
A person who is not self-superior is truly superior.

Man holds onto all sorts of things,
and tries to gain even more,
but the problem lies in the possessing.
To possess is burden and karma,
and on top of everything else,
man tries to have dō, Truth.
Man is truly greedy,
but it is hard for a self-superior person to have Truth.

-Woo Myung-
