Master Woo Myung Truth Poem – Elixir of Life
The elixir of life sought by Emperor Qin,
does not exist in the world.
He tried to find it because he did not know
the universal order of nature –
all of nature is as it is.
All things have life spans based on their conditions,
and through these conditions they come into the world,
and through them, they leave it.
Conditions are the circumstances of its life span.
He who is in his thoughts, he who sorrowfully cries –
all of them just exist, within Truth.
Even if the mountains and rivers,
the fields and trees change,
or even if one has sold out his time,
everything is Truth that simply just exists,
but people judge this.
In lonely solitude, I alone live as Truth,
and people are ignorant of my will
and live in their falseness;
I come and go silently,
but their sighs are long and deep
because they do not know my will.
From ‘Mind’
-Woo Myung-
