📖 Introduction
🌌 In this profound reflection, Master Woo Myung asks a fundamental question: What is the true purpose of life and living?
According to Master Woo Myung, man originates from the original foundation. To be born is to move from non-existence into existence. Yet once man acquires form, he begins to identify himself with that form and sets goals bound to it—wealth, status, success, and achievement.
✨ However, when one eliminates the self and returns to the origin, his goals transform. They become the goals of a saint—the way of Truth. This is the highest and truest purpose of life.
🕊️ Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
What is the purpose behind life and living?
Man is originally born from the original foundation, so to be born is to change from non-existence to existence. When man comes to have form, he begins to believe that he is his form and sets goals and objectives that are related or bound to his form. However, after one has eliminated himself, his goals and objectives are those of a saint — they are the way of Truth. These are the best goals — the best purpose — that one can have.
— Woo Myung
🌠 Reflect at Santa Clara Meditation
At Santa Clara Meditation, the purpose of life is understood as transformation. 🌿
As long as one lives identified with form, one’s goals remain limited. But when the self is eliminated and one returns to the original foundation, life aligns with the way of Truth.
The highest purpose is not achievement within form.
It is living as Truth itself.
