Introduction
✨ In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung reflects on the passing of time, the sorrow of human life, and the awakening to the true world without death.
Human life appears to be filled with countless memories, regrets, words, anguish, and restless striving, yet Master Woo Myung reveals that all of this is ultimately a false dream. As long as one remains within the human world, it is difficult to realize that both living and dying in that world are part of illusion. Only when one is reborn into the true world can one know this clearly. 🌿
This writing teaches that the one who is born in the world and lives as the world knows the true ways of existence. Such a person is free from the passing years, free from attachment to a life lived, and lives with the mind of the world. Through the guidance of the master of the world, those who become the mind of the world can be reborn in the true world within.
Through these words, Master Woo Myung reveals the meaning of the world of the master, the world of consciousness, and the land where there is no death—the land of Truth, God, divinity, and eternal life. ✨
Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
The World of the Master; the World Without Death
Along with the silently flowing years
my life silently ages.
There have been countless regrets and countless memories.
There was no rest amidst the countless words, agonies and anguish
but it was all simply a false dream.
Within the human world it is not possible to know
that living and dying is all a false dream;
it is only possible to know when one is born in the true world.
But no one does know,
because no one has been born in the true world.
Man lives in vain holding on to life
that flows by with the winds and flows by with the clouds,
and because he holds onto that life even after death,
he is falseness in a false world.
He does not know that it does not exist,
just as a dream does not exist.
A person who is born and lives in the world
knows the ways of the world.
Because he lives in the world, as the world,
he is free from the years that come and go,
and he just lives.
But people living in the human world
cannot see the living person.
The silently passing years do not exist for him
nor is there a life that he has lived,
so his is the mind of the world.
The master of the world has enabled
only those born in the true world within them –
those who have become the mind of the world –
to be born in the world.
Only the master of the world can enable one to know
the ways of the world, and the reason man lives and dies.
The world that I lived in, where I was the greatest,
was the world of the ghost;
it was death.
Only the world where the master lives
is the real world and Truth
and it is the world where I live.
All the many things that flow by,
pass by within me, in vain
yet in the world of the master, there is no death.
The world that is reborn within me is this land and this place;
it is the true world, the world of consciousness.
Heaven amongst heavens, the land of God,
the land of divinity are all within me,
and because this world is reborn within me,
the reborn world is the world of the master
and it is my world.
– Woo Myung
Reflect at Santa Clara Meditation
🌿 The teaching of Master Woo Myung reminds us that the pains, regrets, and restless movements of the human mind can feel overwhelming, yet they belong to the false dream world that people cling to as if it were permanent.
This writing points to a deeper awakening: when one is reborn into the true world, life is no longer bound by passing years, memories, or fear of death. Instead, one comes to live with the mind of the world, in the world of consciousness, where the true land of God, divinity, and eternal life is within.
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners learn how to discard the false mind and move toward the true world within. Through the teachings of Master Woo Myung, one can reflect on the meaning of the master, the world without death, consciousness, Truth, and the eternal life that exists in the reborn world. ✨
