โจ Introduction
๐ฟ In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that although religions use different wordsโBuddha and Godโthey ultimately point to the same fundamental reality: Truth.
Across traditions, there are different expressions:
- Buddhism speaks of the mind as Buddha
- Christianity speaks of God within
๐๏ธ Yet beyond language and doctrine, they are not separateโthey are one.
โจ This message reveals that Truth is the eternal, unchanging existence, and when oneโs mind is reborn as this Truth, one directly realizes that Buddha, God, and Truth are one and the same.
๐ ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Even Though the Words Are Different, Buddha and God Are the Existence of Truth and Are One
Both Buddha and God are wisdom.
In Buddhism, they say the mind is Buddha,
while Christianity says that God exists in the mind, within oneself.
Even though the words are different,
Buddha and God are the existence of Truth and are one.
Truth is the never-changing Creator
that existed before the beginning
and will go on to exist after infinity;
this existence is the soul and spirit,
body and mind,
which exists as is.
One whose mind is reborn as this existence
can see and know this existence with his mind.
Buddha is the true mind,
Truth is also the true mind,
and God is also the true mind.
One who is reborn as this true mind
will know this
because Buddha, God, is within him.

๐ Reflect at Santa Clara Meditation
At Santa Clara Meditation, the unity of all Truth becomes clear.
๐ฟ Through meditation:
- One transcends religious distinctions
- Realizes the true mind within
- Understands that Buddha, God, and Truth are one
โจ Truth is not divided by namesโ
it is realized when the mind becomes one with it.
