✨ Introduction
🌿 In this profound and reflective teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals that what people are endlessly searching for—home, truth, and meaning—is not somewhere far away, but already within themselves.
Many people spend their lives searching externally, following teachings, beliefs, and distant ideals. Yet, they overlook what is closest to them—their own true self.
🏡 This message teaches that true home is not a physical place, but the realization of Truth within.
✨ Master Woo Myung emphasizes that when one finds oneself, one finds home—and that searching outside only leads to confusion and distance from Truth.
📖 Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
Returning home
Let us return home,
to the home that is yours and mine.
Our home is in this heaven and earth
but neither you nor I knew,
and we tried to find it in a faraway place.
Let us return home,
to the home that is yours and mine.
Where is that home that no one could find?
It is not anywhere but here.
There is a great commotion to find what is right next to them,
I find it pathetic.
I find it a shame and a pity.
People are that way because they live bound
to the words of saints in a faraway place.
The greatest saint is he who has found himself.
What is it that you are trying to know
when you have not even found yourself?
What are you trying to find,
when your home is your very self?
Do not search for it in physical form,
there is no difference between home and grave.
The grave is your home.
– Woo Myung
🌠 Reflect at Santa Clara Meditation
At Santa Clara Meditation, the meaning of “home” becomes clear.
🌿 Through meditation:
- One stops searching externally and turns inward
- Realizes that Truth and home are within
- Finds rest, clarity, and true belonging
✨ True home is not a place you go—
it is what you realize within yourself.
