🌟 INTRODUCTION
✨ In this poetic teaching, Master Woo Myung reflects on how worries arise when fleeting love, memories, and the world itself become attachments of the mind. 🌿
He explains that wealth and fame are only dreams that pass with time, and that when the mind is absent of attachments, one naturally comes to live in non-existence, wanting nothing. 🌌
This message shows how true freedom emerges when worries no longer define who we are. 🌠
📄 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Worries
The plants and trees of the mountains
as well as the whole of creation in the world
all become attachments.
Man keeps looking back on
the fleeting love and the fleeting heart
that departs with the emptiness and the wind,
which is why his countless stories all become
meaningless things that he creates out of
his attachments.
I am in want of neither wealth nor fame;
they are all a preposterous dream
that will pass with time.
Now that my mind is absent of attachments,
amidst my emptiness
I am in want of nothing;
my mind is hung up on non-existence.
I alone write these words with my non-existent mind.
In these humble surroundings,
I alone sit here teaching people of Truth.
I am alone in my solitary efforts to teach people that
this world exists in man’s mind,
that the world exists in the Mind,
and that this world exists in one’s dreams.
In these hard-boiled times,
it seems that I am alone in my worries
about saving the world.
Man’s worries are attachments;
I have worries but I do not exist in them;
I do not exist but I recall myself –
me who is of the non-existent Mind.
– Woo Myung
