People tend to have their own conceptions of what an ideal ‘dō-in (道人)’ or ‘one walking the Way of enlightenment’ is.

The world of divine beings refers to the energy of the origin.

The reason a person may insist that only he is right is that person is narrow-minded.

People commonly talk about having had an “epiphany” or having been “enlightened” about something.

Man’s kleshas are born of the mind he has.

While people often perform rites of passage to heaven for the dead, and believe that they will receive salvation from their religion, if one does not receive salvation while he is alive he cannot be saved after death.

Enlightenment comes only on the way to Truth. That is when enlightenment comes.

The original existence of Truth in the world is the empty sky – the place that existed before all creations of heaven and earth came forth.

There is not one person who is living in the real world.

Human life has only taught us to have and possess more.

What are you looking for and what are you trying to know and gain?

A person’s mind comes to exist
due to his parent’s images.

We have heard the expression ‘to cleanse one’s mind.’ The expression exists because the false mind exists.

The expressions in the title above mean one must become the very existence of what he desires to know in order to truly know it.

In this world,
there are countless different religious denominations.

Christians are waiting for the new Messiah to come and Buddhists are waiting for Maitreya.

Nothing that is material in the world is eternal.

Many people are interested in whether or not they have a soul that exists after they die.

The mind is the Universe,

That a human being has reached completion means he has become free of his sins and has been born again as a child of God.

Come find me, for me,
come find me, to see me,
come find me, when you become me.

Every time a seminar or lecture is held in the U.S. I ask people if they know what the existence of Truth is, but no one knows.

People live without knowing the reason they were born and then they die and pass on to the next world. Since the beginning of time countless people have lived and died.

It is often said that when one dies and drinks water from the spring of life, he will completely forget the past.

The Bible states that sins committed in our minds are also sins.

People are born without knowing the reason or purpose of their birth and then die ignorant of what everyone should fundamentally know:

The eternal, never-dying God is the universe before the universe.

We commonly speak of people having or not having wisdom.
Among the legends of King Solomon, there are stories illustrating his “wisdom”. One story tells us how he distinguished real flowers from artificial flowers by opening a window and using a bee to show him which were real. Another story describes how he wisely helped to settle a quarrel between two women, each claiming to be the birth mother of a new-born baby.

The reasons people follow or do dō (a Korean word meaning Truth or The Way) is in order to succeed, to become superior to other people in some way, or to appease their feelings of inferiority. However, dō is the opposite of these things because the existence of dō is the existence of Truth. In order to achieve true dō, one must discard his very self and shed all of his own preconceptions and habits. Only then is it possible to get to the place of dō. However many people fail because they try to achieve dō whilst holding onto their selves.

Many people seek out meditation because they want to find a way to assuage their feelings of inferiority.

In the world, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

In Christianity it is said Christ, the Savior, will come down on a cloud with trumpeting angels. In Buddhism, it is said that Maitreya will come to the world of sentient beings, the saha world, to save people. Jung-san told us the Great Commander, Dae-doo-mok, will come, and So-tae-san also said that Maitreya will come.

In the early days of teaching Truth, I have seen many people who wanted to achieve Truth in order to become a superior version of themselves.

The world consists of the body and mind of the universe, the true existence. This true existence is the origin itself; the never-changing, everlasting existence which creates everything in the universe.

Man’s eyes, nose, ears, mouth and body were made as picture-taking tools from birth, and his mind is where the pictures taken of the world are stored. What we call sin or karma is taking pictures of that which belongs to the world and living in those pictures in one’s mind, instead of having a mind that is one with the world. Such a person is a sinner – one who has accumulated karma – because he has betrayed the origin that is the world by making and living in his own world.

Handsome, good-looking, stylish,
great figure, well groomed,
so good-looking, so distinguished,
so pretty, so lovely,
radiant as the moon, well-defined features,

In Korea people believe that when they speak badly of someone or curse them, the words become reality and what is said actually happens – that the words become the “seed” of what happens in reality.

One who has placed
demons and ghosts – his delusions – inside his mind
will live with a demon-like mind.
One who has a negative mind
will live with a negative mind.

The reason the lives we humans live are false is the empty Universe – the original Truth and the original foundation – is our origin.

Some sects of Christianity assert that a person who is the omnipotent and omniscient God will live for eternity in the world with his human body.

People commonly believe that they will go to heaven after they die and that bad people will go to hell after they die.

Stay put like a bear until you have solved the formula because it can get you to Truth.

Idealism is Truth itself: the state of completeness. To be ideal is to become Truth; it is when all of one’s thoughts and actions are oriented towards Truth. Therefore, an ideal life is when one is born as Truth and lives as Truth.

If you ask what Buddha is, Buddhism tells us that you are Buddha and that your mind is Buddha. Although this is correct, only a person who has the mind of Buddha is Buddha. Buddha, God, and heaven, do not exist in the human mind.

The holy writings of saints are often read and even memorized, but no one understands their true meaning.

Christianity tells us we have original and actual sin, and Buddhism tells us everything is in our minds and that what we hold in our minds is karma.

From the beginning, the world was created complete; it is already enlightened and has life. Because man is not born in this world, he is not born in the complete world.

The reason we repent is so that we can go from our false worlds to the true world and be reborn there. We repent so that we can discard our minds that are false and become the true mind. It is also in order to discard ourselves that are sinners and become our true selves.

What is salvation and why do people need to be saved? It is the way of the world that all creations come from the original foundation and return to it. This is the law of nature. Because man is false and an illusion, this falseness must be eliminated if he is to return to the world and be born as a real person. This is man’s salvation. Man can only be saved when he is reborn in his mind that has become the world. In other words, only when his false self has completely disappeared can he become real.

Many people think about death and have questions about it but there is no one who knows the answers to their questions. Each religion talks of a world beyond this world: in Buddhism, it is said the world of paradise, where Buddha resides, exists. In Christianity, it is said that heaven exists. However, no one knows which place is true.

Truth is an everlasting, never-changing and living existence. This is the correct definition of Truth. The existence that is everlasting, never-changing and alive is the body, Jung, and mind, Shin, of the Universe, which existed before the great Universe. This existence is the sky before sky: the emptiness that is the great Universe itself. It is Truth and the very Soul and Spirit of the great Universe.
