Category: Master Woo Myung Songs Lyrics and Verses

‘Dōn-soo,’ or the practice that maintains immediate
enlightenment,

One must be enlightened in order to believe.

Pitiful womenfolk sigh,
thinking of their indifferent husbands
who left for Hanyang.

He who makes his living off of
cultivating fields in the mountains
searches far and wide into its rough depths.

The countless stars that are shining bright in the sky
exist due to the Mind which is
free of wants and attachments.

The padma garbha loka dhatu,
the tathagata-garbha world,
and the real world –
all of these are the names of Buddha’s realm.

Master Woo Myung Songs Lyrics and Verses – Grief and Joy

Time that passes is like the flowing water;
and within that flow people laugh and cry;
they live meaninglessly.
All things live as they should,
but only we are laughing and crying.
All things are our own minds
that we ourselves make and then tear down.

Master Woo Myung Songs Lyrics and Verses – Kingdom of Heaven

Listen!
Although you and I are living in this world together,
I am living in the Kingdom of Heaven
while all of you are living in the human world.
Though we are living similar lives
which seem like they are no different from one another,
I do not live in the world
while all of you do.

Master Woo Myung Meditation Verses – Rite for the Dead

Rites are performed
in order to send dead souls to Heaven.
Dead souls live here on the earth
unable to pass on into the other world
due to the karma they had gained while they were alive.
They still live on with worries, regrets, unfulfilled
desires, and greed –
those poor, senseless dead souls!

Master Woo Myung The Enlightened World – Flaw

People live crying for affection;
they live deceived by that affection.
People live bound to love;
they live deceived by that love.
In one form or another, people live deceived,
thus greatening the falseness of their minds.

Master Woo Myung Song Lyrics and Verses – Learning

The countless experiences that man seeks to gain,
the countless stories that he seeks to make his own,
are nothing more than smoke –
they are all useless;
they are nothing.

Master Woo Myung Song Lyrics and Verses – The Source

There is not a single cloud in the sky.
It is so clear.
It is so blue that it almost looks black.
I understand the true will of the Universe.
Man is the Universe, and man has the Universe.
Nothing exists but Truth.
The Universe is silent.

Master Woo Myung Meditation Verses – Come Dear Child

Come dear child, let us go to Heaven.
Come dear child, let us go; do not cry.
Come dear child, let us go; do not act childishly.
Come dear child, let us go; do not be so difficult.
Come dear child, let us go; do not be so stubborn.
Come dear child, let us go; I will give you candy.

Upon the earth is where life is lived.
Upon the earth is where creations live.
Upon the earth is where many images exist
independently.
Upon the earth is where many memories exist.
Upon the earth is where life cries.
Upon the earth is where man enjoys himself.
Upon the earth is where joy, anger, sorrow, and
pleasure exist, but man lives in sorrow.
Upon the earth is where many an unexpected
thing occurs.
Upon the earth is where fantasies and dreams exist.
Upon the earth is where man is born and where he dies.
Upon the earth is where creations are born and where
they die.

The wind is
something that comes out of nowhere.
People know the wind,
but they never stop to think about what it is.
The wind fills the universe
but those who know what it is are too few.
When I tell them that wind is man and man is wind
they just tilt their heads in confusion.

Rain falls from the sky.
Its droplets must hit the ground
in order to make sounds.
It is through me that those raindrops come.
Whether it is raining or snowing, I remain unchanging.
Though everything may change,
my image remains the same.

The Mind is not emptiness.
The Mind is not existent.
The Mind is not non-existent.
There is not a single thing in the Mind;
even this non-existence of things
is non-existent in the Mind.
The Mind is absent of what Buddhism refers to as
‘the five desires’ and ‘seven emotions.’
The Mind is absent of sight, hearing,
sense of smell and taste,
as well as sensation.

Those who are superior do not pursue ‘dō (Truth).’
Those who are not may be poor,
but nevertheless, they seek out Truth.
While life comes and goes like an empty dream,
man does not know Heaven’s will.
Without knowing the meaning of his life,
he looks to Heaven,
and he lives harboring in his heart
the regrets and bitterness of this untrue life of his.

The wind is blowing.
The rain is pouring.
Because of the wind and the rain,
no one can come here;
if they were to endure them,
the sky would become bright.
Even though the day has come when
the Sun, Moon, and Milky Way are so bright in the sky,
few are able to find their way here.

People dislike partings.
Some partings are absent of reluctance or regrets.
There are partings in which
one has had to say farewell to a person he should not,
only to live pent up with heartache.

The one whose long golden hair blows in the wind,
The one who blinks his dark eyes without a word,
even the one who sighs for he could not fulfill his will:
their departures would be instantaneous.

Should I tell people to come?
Should I tell them with my arms wide open?
I am worried about what I should say
to convince them to come.
They do not know me,
and so with a heavy heart,
I look to Heaven.

After taking a deep breath,
I whistle a tune.
They are the stories created with the passage of time.
The will of Heaven
always seems to be conveyed somewhere.
Heaven does not exist,
but it exists in and of itself,
which is why there is nothing it cannot do with ease.

Minds make people suffer,
because minds are a continuation
of the mood of the life one lived.
The mood of his life becomes his karma.
Karma is a type of burden;

Many a wanderer exists in the world,
but there is no one who thinks or says
that the life he lives is futile.
There are those who clap their hands and laugh
but they too feel heartache when sorrow finds them.
However not a single person knows
that life is just a futile dream.

Though a familiar face is walking on the street,
people just look at him as he passes by.
They do not recognize this person who is from Heaven
and so he, with his familiar face, remains silent.

The Mind of Heaven is like a floating cloud.
Man’s mind is one in which he exists.
Thus the countless matters of this world
are all one’s own.

Spring –
the season in which all creations
are vibrant with life
in every slope and valley.
People are at their leisure,
but live ignorant of Nature’s logic.

On days when the wind blows,
on days when the rain pours,
I sing and dance,
I sing and laugh,
about this one and only life.
Life is great;
life is wonderful.

Master Woo Myung Song Lyrics and Verses – The Advent of Christ and Resurrection

The Advent of Christ refers to the return of Jesus Christ.
This does not mean that the Jesus
who died two thousand years ago
will come again
but that the Jesus Christ,
who is the God before and beyond the god of Abraham,
will return.

The still Mind is like a lake.
The still Mind is one in which
the whole of creation is non-existent.
The whole of creation is
the non-existent Mind and the non-existent heart.
Yet man alone has a tumultuous mind.

One must shoulder burdens.
One must shoulder burdens if
he is not of nature’s flow.
One shoulders burdens because
he defies the laws of Heaven.

If one asks what it is to live,
I answer that both living and dying do not exist.
All things in the world live lives
where life and death exist.

A person who takes pains to find Truth
has the possibility of finding it,
but a person who does not try
can neither find Truth,
nor know it.

If you were to ask me where human life comes from,
I would answer that life neither comes nor goes.
If you were to ask me how to live well,
I would answer that there is only one way to do so
and that is to become a saint.

Master Woo Myung Song Lyrics and Verses – One Must Be Born in Eternal Heaven While One Is Alive So That He May Continue to Live There After He Dies

Man must become complete in order to be absent of death.
Man must become complete in order for there to be a Heaven
for him.
He who has been born in eternal Heaven while he is alive
will live without death.

Faith is the conviction one has in his heart – in his mind.
One believes when one’s mind believes.
Whatever it may be, a person’s mind believes it when
his mind becomes one with it.
