Master Woo Myung Meditation Poem – Truth Is Universally Valid. It Is Not Magical.
The original Truth is
the universe before the universe,
the soul and spirit of that place,
which exists where nothing exists.
This is the original Truth.
This existence is both the body and mind of the universe,
the soul and spirit,
the body and mind of Buddha,
the Holy Ghost and Holy Father.
All these are Truth.
All creation is the child of Truth.
There are mountains in the world.
There is water in the sea.
There is fire.
There are numerous kinds of trees,
and numerous kinds of plants.
There are insects and reptiles,
there are birds and fish.
There are animals with four legs,
and humans walking on two legs.
There are many different kinds of creation.
These countless shapes
are all alive in the kingdom of Truth.
They are all alive because they are the children of Truth,
and so the world is already enlightened and
the kingdom of Truth is complete.
When the Creator created this world
it was created in such a way that
all creation comes forth on its own according to conditions,
that is, this must exist for that to exist and vice versa.
All creation lives according to its shape.
All creation acts and lives according to its shape.
All creation lives as it is and as you see it.
Birds fly, and fish live in the water.
Animals crawl,
people walk and run with two legs,
no human can fly.
Everything living in this world
is Truth just as you see it,
yet people try to seek Truth in miracles.
Truth is the shape of all creation,
living as it does and living as you see it.
People who seek Truth from miracles
will never find the miracle they want.
They misunderstand
the meaning of omniscience and omnipotence,
and they wait for a false truth.
They expect the appearance of a false existence.
But Truth is as you see it and as you hear it.
Truth is as is.
