Introduction
✨ In this concise teaching, Master Woo Myung explains why all things in the world have lifespans. Every creation in the Universe appears with a particular form, and that form itself determines the duration of its existence.
According to Master Woo Myung, all forms arise from the original body — the origin of the Universe. When something appears with a physical form, that form naturally carries a beginning and an end. This means that having a form itself implies a lifespan. 🌌
From living beings to objects and even celestial bodies, everything that appears in the world exists temporarily. The difference between creations is not whether they will disappear, but how long their forms will remain.
Through this teaching, Master Woo Myung highlights an essential principle of existence: nothing with form is everlasting. Recognizing this truth allows people to reflect more deeply on the nature of life, impermanence, and the deeper reality beyond form. 🌿
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Why do all things have lifespans?
Each creation has its own lifespan.
Lifespans are decided by the forms they are given when creations are made from the original body – the origin of the Universe.
In other words, having a material form is in itself a lifespan.
Nothing in the world with form is everlasting, only the length of each form’s lifespan differs.
This is Truth.
— Woo Myung
