INTRODUCTION
✨ In this insightful teaching, Master Woo Myung describes how people speak only from the limits of their personal experiences. Yet true cleansing and liberation do not come from human knowledge—they come from the God and Buddha within, the original nature that alone can expel one’s demons, karma, and habits. 🌿
Only when the living God resides within a person does he truly live. If God within is absent or “dead,” the false self remains, and suffering continues. Through complete cleansing, one becomes free from sin and is reborn into true life. 🌌
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
The Things People Talk About
Man lives talking about the things that he knows,
but what he knows is only as much as his experiences permit.
It is only God who is capable of expelling man’s demons from within him.
It is the God and Buddha in him – in other words, man’s original nature –
that cleanses him of his karma and habits.
Only the living God or Buddha who lives inside him can expel his demons.
Only God or Buddha can rid him of his false self.
God or Buddha is the master of life,
and it is only for Him to determine whether one should live or die.
He who enshrines the living God within him will live,
while he, for whom the God within him is dead, will perish.
Simply put, those who have no sins and have been cleansed will live,
while those who have many sins and have not been cleansed will die.
In fact, those whose sins are too great
are unable to become cleansed to the very end.
– Woo Myung
