📖 EXCERPT BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
“People usually make friends with those who have the same state of mind as their own. All people prefer people who have similar states of mind to their own, and they try to befriend those who can understand them and those who like them. Instead of trying to make a friend or expecting something from them, change your mind to have a genuine mind and be sincere when making friends. Being sincere is the way to find unwavering friendship. If your mind is truthful, others will treat you truthfully, truly understand, and become your friend. The way to find true friends is discarding your false mind and becoming the true mind—then, you can have true friends in life.”
🌱 REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, we often see individuals who feel deeply lonely or misunderstood, even when they are surrounded by a large social circle. Master Woo Myung explains exactly why this happens: we typically seek out friends who share our specific illusions and validate our self-centered perspectives. When relationships are built entirely upon these conditional, false minds and unspoken expectations, they are fragile. The moment a disagreement arises or an expectation goes unmet, the friendship often falls apart.
True friendship cannot be forced, negotiated, or maintained through a transactional mindset; it must grow naturally from a place of absolute sincerity. Through our step-by-step subtraction method, you have a practical way to uncover this genuine mind within yourself. By systematically discarding your hidden expectations, your desire for validation, and the calculating ego, your mind becomes completely clear and honest. As this falseness vanishes, you naturally radiate truthfulness. When you approach the world with this true, empty mind, others will instinctively feel your sincerity and treat you truthfully in return, allowing you to finally experience deep, unwavering friendships.
