🌸 Character: true goodness beyond the human self | Master Woo Myung | Santa Clara Meditation

INTRODUCTION

✨ In this concise yet powerful teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the real meaning of character.
True character has nothing to do with personality or behavior shaped by the human self. Rather, good character is the absence of the self, free from human minds such as ego, desire, and judgment.
Only when the self disappears can one act with the pure, true mind. 🌿

ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG

Character

Character speaks of a person’s mind.
To have a good character means
one does not have human minds.

Anything one does with self
is bad character.
The best character one can have
is to act and live
without an individual self at all.
– Woo Myung

REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION

At Santa Clara Meditation, the meaning of character becomes clear:
a person’s “character” is not their habits or traits but the state of their mind.

When the human self disappears, actions naturally come from Truth, not from ego or personal motives.
This is why true character is not developed—it is revealed when the false mind is discarded.
A person without self lives with clarity, consideration, and compassion, because the true mind itself is complete. 🌠
