🌟 INTRODUCTION
✨ In this beautiful and liberating teaching, Master Woo Myung calls us to lay down the burdens of the mind—the possessions, attachments, and karma that weigh upon us. 🌿
Though there is nothing in life to truly possess, people cling to the mind of possession, living meaninglessly and dying by their own cunning.
Freedom begins when we cast off the mass of minds we have accumulated and live without being bound to karma.
Only the true self, free from burdens, can live eternally. 🌈
📜 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Burdens
Let’s cast off all the minds
gained through our lives.
Although there is nothing to have in life,
people are bound to the mind of possession
and they live trying to possess.
Thus, they live lives meaninglessly
and die by their own cunning.
Let’s shed the mass of minds that are our attachments.
Let’s live freely, having laid down those burdens.
Even if we come to have something,
let’s not live bound to karma.
Only living this way can make your true self,
and only this true self can live.
– Woo Myung
