Introduction
✨ In this profound and poetic writing, Master Woo Myung speaks about the ultimate transformation of human existence: the rebirth of our body and mind as the perfect mind of Truth.
Using the imagery of the sky, clouds, and emptiness, he explains that true existence is not material, but non-material, and that this invisible existence is actually the origin of all creation. 🌌
According to Master Woo Myung, people live unaware of this Truth because they only perceive the material world. However, when one’s mind becomes empty like the sky, one can realize and become one with the sole existence—God, Truth, the Universe itself.
This teaching reveals a path of self-erasure, rebirth, enlightenment, and unity with the eternal existence, leading to a life of wisdom, completeness, and true being.
Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
Our Bodies Should Be Reborn as the Perfect Mind of Truth
The clouds are sleeping.
The clouds are sleeping silently.
I am the cloud; there is nothing that is not me.
The skies of America are very clear.
The skies of Korea are saturated with pollution and dark
because of the yellow sand storms blowing in from China.
The skies of America are so blue that it is almost dark.
Now that my mind has become the sky,
the sky is neither dark nor blue, but empty;
but the sole God exists in the empty sky where there is nothing.
This God exists as is,
and it is the state
before the wind, the cloud, and the whole of creation.
This whole of creation is God.
The material and non-material are one.
Humans know only material existence
and do not realize
that non-material existence is the real material existence.
Everything that exists is non-material existence.
Though nothing exists, material existence exists;
though nothing exists, non-material existence exists.
People do not know this existence
because they do not have this existence in their minds.
This existence is the master of the whole universe
and the origin of all creation.
However, no one knows this.
I have become this existence
and work for the kingdom of this existence;
I live with wisdom.
People have to accumulate their own blessings.
I have accumulated a wealth of blessings,
but people do not have such blessings.
To be completely enlightened
is to become one with the sole God of the empty sky
and be reborn.
In order to become completely one with this existence,
‘I’ must have the spirit of this existence in my mind.
Also, the sole God of the empty sky is my self
because ‘I’ no longer exist.
My whole body must become
the spirit and light of the universe;
‘I’ realize that ‘I’ have become the perfect existence itself.
Though ‘I’ know nothing
and live as is,
‘I’ am the eternal Truth
that lacks nothing.
‘I’ am the God of wisdom
and live doing the work of heaven.
– Woo Myung
Reflect at Santa Clara Meditation
🌿 The teaching of Master Woo Myung points to a radical shift in awareness—from identifying with the material self to realizing the non-material, eternal existence that is the origin of all things.
This writing emphasizes that true enlightenment is not about gaining knowledge, but about emptying the self completely, until only Truth remains. When the mind becomes like the empty sky, one can realize unity with the Universe, God, and Truth.
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners are guided to cleanse the mind and discard accumulated thoughts and illusions. Through the teachings of Master Woo Myung, one can experience rebirth, enlightenment, inner peace, and becoming the perfect existence itself. ✨
