Only a wise person knows he is to blame.

Adivine being is a person who is completely without self.

The foundation of this great universe is
the eternal and never-changing Truth,
which in turn is Energy and Light.

Until now, people in religions listened to the words of saints, spoke about them, and strove to behave accordingly. Religions are places where people go to listen to the words of saints because they are incomplete. Religions are also places where one must believe those words and adhere to them. But more importantly, people have been unable to become complete in these places because they lack a concrete method.

Master Woo Myung Words to Awaken – What does the phrase, “How can I be enlightened when dō(tao) does not originally exist?” mean?

Dō refers to a path to heaven. In other words, it is the path to discovering your true self. It is the path to the Universe. When it is said that dō does not exist, it means that life is dō and that there is no action that is not dō. People search for dō elsewhere but dō does not exist because life itself is dō. When one casts off all of one’s self, he becomes the state of nonexistence. This non-existence is one’s original real self.

Master Woo Myung Meditation Writing – Possession

Possession is the birth of another false self inside one’s false mind. There are people who claim they came from heaven, that they are the Supreme Being, or the daughter of the Supreme Being, but they were just hallucinating from within their mind worlds. In order for their claims to be true, they need to have come from the original foundation – the original heaven – but their claims are false because they came from their own mind worlds.

Master Woo Myung Method of Repentance – People Are Dead Because They Are Not Truth – The Universe’s Eternal Soul and Spirit That Is Energy and Light

Everyone living in the world is dead because people are tied to the conceptions and habits of their lives and to their shape and form.
Many people believe that they are living true lives and that they have not committed sins. But a person who believes that he is the worst person in the world is at least able to repent, and is therefore relatively wise. The people of the world live deluding themselves that they have not done wrong; that they are “good” and other people are “bad”.

Teacher Woo Myung Meditation Writing – One Can Go to Heaven Only When He Has Completely Eliminated His Sins and Karma

Man was born with a mind that takes pictures of the world and everything that belongs to the world. All of our parents and ancestors died after living in illusions, in pictures taken of the world. This is the reason our minds by nature and from birth are like a film of pictures. We live speaking and acting according to what is scripted in this film. But just as a picture is not real, the film is false. Man’s mind itself is sin and karma. Without discarding the picture world and one’s self that is a picture, man cannot be born into the world that is heaven.

Master Woo Myung Method for Becoming Truth – He Who Goes to Hell, He Who Goes to Heaven

A house can exist because the ground exists and the ground can exist because the Earth exists. The Earth can exist because the Universe, which is the emptiness, exists. The sun, the moon, and the stars in the sky can also exist because the Universe, the emptiness, exists. The Universe, the emptiness, is the origin, the original foundation, and the master of the whole of creation. The Universe is the master and the Creator that brings forth the whole of the Universe.

Human sin consists of original sin and personal sin. Original sin is inherited from birth. This sin came into existence from the moment Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This does not mean that such a tree actually existed; rather it means that from the moment humans began discerning between right and wrong, they held it in their minds that such an act was sin, which is why the Bible says that they “picked the fruit and ate it”.

Master Woo Myung Writing – Religious Wars and Infighting

Ever since religions have existed in the world, there have also been never-ending religious wars. Not only do we still have religious wars, there are now also conflicts between members of the same religious group. If religions were perfect, the world would have already become one and religious wars would have disappeared.

From early times, Koreans have sought the divinities of heaven and earth, and also for God. When a child was born, they prayed to Grandmother Samshin, a divinity that governed childbirth. Grandmother Samshin was not only the goddess of childbirth but also the creator of the shapes of all creation; she was Truth itself, the body of Buddha, the Holy Ghost, and the body of the universe. Thus, Koreans have lived with Truth and God for a long time.

The Mahaparinirvana Sutra, a Buddhist holy writing, says that in the future, in the world of the future Buddha, parinirvana or perfect death can be achieved. Parinirvana is to die completely, without holding onto anything. What this means is that one must discard all of the human body and mind. Thus, death means to discard or eliminate.

Master Woo Myung Writing – Accomplishing All, Enlightening Fully, Completion

Truth is the Great Soul and Spirit of the universe. He who has become Truth is one who has been reborn as the Soul and Spirit of Truth. The Creator is this Great Soul and Spirit. This is the everlasting and never-dying God. This is the Energy and Light of the universe. This is Truth; and one who is reborn as its body and mind has no death because this is Truth itself.

Nimitta is existence.
Existence is want.
Want is attachment.
Nimitta exists because want exists.
Nimitta exists due to the existence of oneself.
One’s existence is the image of one’s individual self.

People usually think and say that eternal Heaven can only be entered once they die. The underlying goal that is prevalent among all religions is to live eternally in Heaven after death, and many people believe this is possible.

Teacher Woo Myung Writing – Reaching the Finish Line in One’s Pursuit of Truth

There is not a single human being who knows what Truth is.
In order to pursue Truth, one must be very devoted.
It seems only a person who is whole-hearted is able to do so.

Master Woo Myung Writing – Man Lives According to What He Has in His Mind

There are roughly seven billion people on this planet, but no two minds are alike.
The mind that one has is the following:

Author Woo Myung Writing – The Dawning of a New World Is the Dawning of a New Consciousness

The apocalypse has always been a much discussed topic, and it is said that when it happens everyone will die. It is also often said that there will be a new world. New religions have often misinterpreted what “a new world” and “apocalypse” mean; and many people have taken these phrases quite literally, with some going as far as living their lives according to these wrong literal misinterpretations.

We are afraid of ghosts and we also often tell stories about ghosts. A ghost is an illusion that believes it exists.
Man does not live in the world but in his mind world – an illusionary world. Isn’t man who lives in an illusionary world also an illusion?

Master Woo Myung Writing – Man Does Not Know Anything, and All of His Words and Actions Are False

Our minds are formed from a young age, through our daily lives: from our experiences with our families, neighborhood, schools and society. As our minds form, we come to have standards for what we like and dislike, and what we think of as right and wrong and good and bad.

Master Woo Myung Writing – From the World of Hardship to a World Free of Hardship

It is not easy to live in this world.
When the world changes everyday,
people cannot keep a steady mind,
and they are out of their minds.
It is not easy to live in this world, is it?

It is a common misconception that when the end of the world comes, the world will disappear.
It is said that when the end of the world comes, countless people will die while those who have faith in their religion will not.

Images that arise in the mind are all illusions. Furthermore, everything that one sees and hears is an illusion also, because they are seen and heard from within his mind. Many people want to do dō – pursue Truth – in order to become superior or to gain something. However dō is about discarding; simply put, it is about discarding all of one’s mind and body so that nothing remains. This is so that his mind can become the never-changing existence of Truth, from which he can then be reborn.

People think the end of the world is everything dying, but the end of the world is being reborn as Truth and living in heaven. It is the end of the world because one destroys heaven, earth and man with his mind, and because heaven, earth and man no longer exist, it is a new world.

Human desires differ from person to person but every desire is manifested from feelings of inferiority: of feeling not good enough or having less than other people. A person who lacks love seeks love and a person who lacks money chases money.

Christianity tells us Christ is the son of God and that he is God himself. This is perfectly correct. It also says that Christ is the Way, the Truth, and Life, and that no one can go to heaven without going through him. This is also correct.

I hear a man coughing in the early morning darkness. On his back he carries manure over the hill to the fields. This is an example of the life of a diligent man.

Master Woo Myung Writing – Falseness and Truth

People insist their own religions are right and that other religions are cults or heretical.
Falseness is always false even if it appears similar to Truth and it is false even if it speaks of Truth. Truth must be Truth for it to be true.

People generally believe that they are truthful, honest and right. They commonly also think that they do not cheat anyone, and that they do good deeds for others. People have self-centered human minds which make them believe anything that is not theirs is wrong.

Master Woo Myung Writing – Man Has a Mind of Hunger Which He Tries to Satiate by Devouring Whatever He Can

Man’s mind holds illusions, which in themselves are hungry and empty minds. He always feels empty and hungry because he lives with these minds. The mind of hunger is a false mind that takes pictures. The human mind stores everything that it has stolen from the world; it is a mind that lives having turned away from Truth. Therefore man is a sinner and he is bound to his karma.

Master Woo Myung Writing – The Time of Discarding One’s Self When Man Can Fulfill Human Completion Has Begun

Man is born with a mind that wants to possess, so he seeks satisfaction and happiness through possession. However, there is no end to such means; ultimately, he cannot be satisfied or happy.

Worldly preconceptions teach us that Truth is something that is eternal and never-changing. I, too, teach that Truth is eternal, never-changing and living. I also teach what worldly preconceptions do not – what the existence of Truth is.

Master Woo Myung Writing – Man’s Fate Is at a Crossroads of Eternal Life and Death

There are often more days of difficulty and suffering than there are days of happiness in life and it is in the midst of difficult times that we begin to think about certain matters. I am sure there are many who have given some thought to where they will go after they die, though they will never find the answer within their human thoughts. This is because man’s consciousness is dead and instead of living in the real world he is living inside the mind that he has made.

In all the religions that have ever existed in this world, people listened to the words of past saints and they tried to adhere to those words from within their mind worlds. The saints all spoke of a complete being coming to the world one day and that at this time all men could become complete and live in a world where man is able to live forever without death. Essentially, they were all prophecies.

In Buddhism the master of the Universe is called Buddha, while it is called God in Christianity. In Korea that is originally of the Haneol-nim ideology it is called Haneol-nim.

What is Truth? Truth is the place of the everlasting, never-changing Universe before any creations came into existence. This place is the origin of Truth. In other words, the place where there is absolutely nothing in the Universe is the mother and father of all creations, and this existence is the origin of all creations. This existence is the original appearance of the everlasting and never-changing Truth.

People often speak of going to heaven or hell after death. But what are heaven and hell? What happens to people after they die? Clear answers to these questions cannot be found anywhere; nowhere can one actually be enlightened of the answers.

Master Woo Myung Writing – It Is the Way of the World That We Come from the Origin and Return Back to the Origin

There is no one in the world who knows the laws of the world or the will of the world. Religions often talk about heaven and hell, but the heaven and hell they speak of are false and delusional. When we become the great Universe itself – the master of the Universe – it is possible to know all the laws of the world.

There are two types of creation: spiritual and material. The Creator that is the master of the world is not a material existence but a metaphysical one. It is the origin and source of the Universe; it is the Universe before the Universe. This existence is Jung and Shin (Soul and Spirit). Amidst absolute nothingness, Jung and Shin exists; Jung is the place of emptiness and Shin is God that exists in the emptiness. All physical forms in the world are representations of this existence.

The way all of the many different forms in the world came into existence was by the right set of conditions for creation coming together. This type of creation is called material creation. Material creation is possible because the celestial bodies in the sky exist, and soil, water, wind, and temperature exist on Earth. From the perspective of the Universe, the Creator, it is the Creator who created all things.

Master Woo Myung Writing – From the Time Man Was Born in the World and Has Lived on the Earth

Since mankind was created in the world, people lived their lives continuously forming and destroying delusional thoughts and notions in order to possess and own more.

Man is waiting for the coming of a delusional Truth; an existence made from his own beliefs and standards. Man believes this entity of Truth will come only for him and he waits for this entity in order to gain something; he believes that a Jesus of love and benevolence will come only to save him. He believes this because he lives within his own self-made mind world.

Master Woo Myung Writing – The Dead Are the Living and the Living Are the Dead

People believe they are alive and those who are religious also believe that they will go to heaven after they die. However, man is not living in God’s world but in the mind world he has made. This is because it is human nature to live in a world that has copied God’s world, a counterfeit world that resembles God.

An innumerable number of people have come and gone in this world, but no one knows where they came from or where they went. In any case, they have all disappeared from the world. From the Universe’s point of view, man disappears after a fleeting, meaningless life;

There were people living in the world even a long time ago. The many people who lived in the world throughout the ages have all disappeared, silently and without a trace.
