Master Woo Myung Meditation Pioneer – Love, Compassion and Virtue
The words “I love you” are commonly used between lovers, married couples, parents and children.
However human love is the fulfillment of one’s demands. In other words, human love is full of expectations; man cannot love unconditionally. Pure love is giving without the mind of having given. This is true love, compassion and virtue.
Man and all of creation are able to exist because the origin, the empty sky, exists. Although the empty sky creates everything and provides man with food, air and the means to live, it does not expect anything in return. Such is the mind of the origin. True compassion, love and virtue do not exist unless man’s mind becomes that of the origin.
The mind that is without the thought that you have done something for someone; the mind that is absent of the thought that one has done anything at all; the mind where the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing – this mind is only possible when your mind becomes that of God. When you chase out your evil, false, self-centered mind and change it to the mind of God, you can live for the world and others.
The human mind that is self-centered does not have love, compassion or virtue; there is only the mind that cares for himself. While it is often said that we must love our enemies with compassion and virtue, we are unable to do so because enemies exist within the deeply rooted minds we have.
Through the practice of changing one’s human mind into the mind of God and becoming reborn as the child of God, one can actually become a saint, Buddha, the son of God; the entities about which we have only heard. Also one can achieve human completion.
