✨ Introduction
🌱 In this insightful teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that blessings are not something given from outside, but something that arises from within the mind.
🌿 He reveals that people experience life according to what they hold in their minds—those who lack blessings internally cannot receive them externally.
🌌 True blessings come from having an open, expansive mind aligned with Truth, allowing one to accept, act, and live without limitation.
💡 This teaching shows that real blessings are built through one’s actions and ultimately lead to the greatest blessing—eternal life as Truth.
📖 Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
Blessings
People complain that they have no blessings. They say that they are not blessed in terms of their parents, spouse, children, or finances; and they complain about their lives. Countless people live with countless different matters of life. A blessing means to find the place which speaks of oneness. In other words, it means to see the place that speaks of Truth, which is oneness.
People speak and act to the extent of what they have in their minds. Therefore, only when they have blessings in their minds are they blessed. Those who do not have blessings in their minds envy other people’s fortune. People will live and have as many blessings in the world as they have within their minds. A person who does not have those blessings in his mind will live without them.
What currently determines one’s actions and spoken words is his mind within. People who do not have blessings in the mind cannot accept blessings and only reject them; they are not blessed. You cannot earn money just by thinking and talking about earning money. But rather you will earn just as much as you act with the mind prepared to work. What determines one’s actions is his mind, and thus people live accordingly, no more, no less. As I meet more and more people, I find that many people have closed minds, and therefore they do not have blessings.
Those who have an open mind can accept and contain everything; they can contain blessings. No matter what they do, people with big minds will be successful without conflicts or hindrances as they work and behave without their frames of mind, which are their selves. People who try to fit the world into their minds will find the world disagreeable. When their minds become as big as the world, they can understand the world and fit into it. People who do not have Truth in their minds cannot accomplish anything because their minds change all the time; even though their minds are busy, they achieve nothing. But the minds of those who have a foundation of Truth are not busy; their actions match their words, for which they can gain as much as they have done; thus, they live righteous and successful lives.
We can commonly see people praying for blessings, but there is no room in their minds for blessings; they have narrow minds, and they do not have big minds which is true existence. Blessings will reside only in those who have a big mind, who have a clean mind; blessings come from one’s actions, and those actions come from one’s mind. Therefore, when people truly cleanse their minds and are reborn as Truth, they will have their worldly blessings as well. The biggest blessing in the world for man is to become complete and live eternally. A person with true blessings will not expect blessings for himself but will accumulate true blessings for others.
Blessings do not come by asking or begging for them, but blessings are something we build like we build a house. When you accumulate blessings, you will live forever with those blessings in the everlasting true land, the kingdom in your mind. One who does not have blessings in his mind expects blessings, while one who has blessings in his mind accumulates blessings. Blessings do not come to one who expects blessings for he expects them through his false mind. But one who accumulates his blessings will build his blessings, and everything he does will be a blessing.
