💡 INTRODUCTION

Master Woo Myung explains that genuine spiritual seekers eventually realize that praying merely for material gain or personal desires is unfulfilling. He redefines the concepts of sin and repentance, clarifying that true repentance is not simply apologizing for actions, but completely discarding the self-centered mind. To genuinely act with unconditional love and righteousness, we cannot rely on human effort; we must first achieve human completion and allow the mind of Truth to dwell within us.

📖 EXCERPT BY MASTER WOO MYUNG

Those who pray only because they seek to gain things are not the ones who practice meditation. […]

We were born with original sin because our ancestors lived with self-centered minds, in which they had their own standards of what was good and what was evil. […]

Personal sin is the sin one creates in life according to one’s fixed conceptions and habits. […]

Discarding the existence that you call your self is repentance. […]

Jesus said that we must love our enemies. […]

Such are things that cannot be accomplished by the human mind; only God can. And only a person who has God enshrined in his mind can do this.

🌱 REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION

At Santa Clara Meditation, many people arrive after years of sincerely praying for their circumstances to change, only to realize that true peace comes from changing themselves. We often try to force ourselves to act “good” or be righteous using our human minds, which eventually leads to frustration and exhaustion because the fundamental, self-centered mind remains intact.

As Master Woo Myung teaches, true repentance requires surrendering the very existence we call our “self”—our accumulated conceptions, habits, and self-made standards of good and evil. Through our step-by-step subtraction method, you can actively discard this false mind. When the human mind is completely emptied, you reach completion, and the mind of Truth naturally becomes your own. In this awakened state, loving your enemies and living with true righteousness is no longer an impossible struggle, but your natural way of being.
