💡 INTRODUCTION
Master Woo Myung highlights the contrast between a mind of true acceptance and the reactive, easily swayed human mind. While the awakened mind can sing and dance even amidst life’s storms and unpredictable changes, the ordinary human mind quickly falls into sorrow, worry, and fear. We often act “childish” by letting external circumstances and our own unmet expectations dictate our inner peace. By recognizing this reactive nature, we can begin to transcend our emotional turbulence and discover the unwavering, profound joy that is life itself.

📖 EXCERPT FROM “CHILDISH LIFE” BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
“On days when the wind blows, on days when the rain pours, I sing and dance, I sing and laugh, about this one and only life. […]
But when changes occur in their lives, people become very concerned about them; they become sad and they cry. […]
On the days when the wind blows, on the days when the rain pours, people of the world become sad. Though they have been given life, people are childish; they are childish to the utmost.”
⭐ REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, we see how much of our daily suffering comes from our reactive, “childish” minds that constantly resist change. When life doesn’t go exactly according to our self-centered plans—when the wind blows or the rain pours—we easily become overwhelmed by anxiety and sorrow. Through our guided method of subtraction, you can actively discard the deep-seated preconceptions and attachments that cause these turbulent emotional reactions. As you empty your mind of these conditions, you stop being tossed around by external circumstances and uncover a deep, unshakeable joy that embraces life exactly as it is.
