🌟 INTRODUCTION
✨ In this moving teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals that the very last thing a person clings to is not wealth or status, but pride itself—the accumulated life one has lived. 🌿
He explains that this pride becomes a heavy burden that follows people even beyond death, and that only by understanding the will of the Universe, which is a Mind absent of attachments, can one finally live freely. 🌌
This message gently exposes how attachments disguise themselves as identity and why releasing pride is the gateway to true life. 🌠
📄 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Pride
The thing that man will hold on to
until the very end
is his pride.
One’s pride is the life he has lived until now
and so he is unwilling to let go of it.
He is unwilling to let go of it
even after he is dead.
Tears come to my eyes.
Man may look back on his life over and over again,
however no one else but he knows his experiences.
With the flow of time, man rears his mind –
a mind which he gains throughout his life
and lives fixed upon.
The Universe blames that mind;
it tells man to let go of that mind and live.
Life is a passing memory
in which anything and everything passes;
in which man sees what he sees as existence;
in which man thinks he is his self;
in which man does not realize
that attachments are burdens.
The will of the Universe is the Mind,
which is one that is absent of attachments.
Such is the will of the Universe.
The Mind is the Universe;
the Mind is the origin.
One who does not know this true will of the Universe
will live with his own distant and obscure mind.
– Woo Myung
