Dō (道) is not a path you walk with your feet—but one you follow by letting go of your self. 🌌
In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that Dō, the Way, is the path to discovering your original self—the source of all creation, also called the non-self self. Yet many are deceived by the word itself, not understanding that the true Dō requires the abandonment of individuality, memory, body, and mind.
To walk the Way is not to seek more—but to give everything up. When one eliminates the self, he returns to the origin, the truth beyond identity, and begins to live not as the self, but as the source itself.
Through Santa Clara Meditation, you can experience this shedding of self, and awaken to the eternal life of Dō—the Truth that simply is, without ego, without mind, and without separation.
What is Dō (道)?
It is the Way to your original self.
The original self is none other than
the source of all creation;
it is the non-self self.
‘Dō (Truth, or the Way)’ can be deceiving;
this is because people do not know
the true meaning of dō
or its final destination.
The true meaning of dō, along with its path,
is the abandoning of one’s individuality.
What one must give up is his body
along with everything that this body remembers.
The consciousness is the self
and so once he eliminates his individual self,
he will be on the Way to the source – the origin.
Dō is about completely giving up one’s self
so that he may find his original self
and live a life that is of the source.
– Woo Myung
