📖 Introduction
✨ In this powerful message, Master Woo Myung explains that repentance is not about blaming the world, society, parents, or circumstances. True repentance begins when one recognizes that the root of suffering lies within oneself.
According to Master Woo Myung, completely abandoning the self—the sinner—is the only true repentance. When the false self disappears, only the Creator, who is Truth, remains. 🌌
To repent fully is to be reborn as the child of the Creator, and only then do eternal life and Heaven exist.
🕊️ Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
Completely Abandoning Oneself, Who Is the Sinner, Is Repentance of One’s Sins 444
It is not because the world is unjust,
or because the country is wrong.
It is not because you are in a bad environment
or because you were born to the wrong parents.
It is because you, yourself, are not right.
In his mind, man lives blaming others,
but everything is his own fault,
his own wrongdoing.
Only when one throws away
the whole of what one’s existence knows,
the whole of what one has stored in one’s mind,
and the whole of one’s body
is it complete repentance of one’s sins.
When one has completely abandoned one’s self,
only the Creator, who is Truth, will remain.
And one must be born again as the child of this Creator
in order for there to be eternal life and Heaven within.
One has fully repented for one’s sins when
one has abandoned one’s self completely.
— Woo Myung
🌠 Reflect at Santa Clara Meditation
At Santa Clara Meditation, repentance is understood not as regret or self-condemnation—but as transformation. 🌿
True repentance means discarding the entire false self: the memories, attachments, judgments, and identity that one has accumulated. When the self is completely abandoned, only Truth remains.
Repentance is not about correcting others.
It is about removing oneself and being reborn as the child of the Creator.
