💡 INTRODUCTION
Master Woo Myung beautifully illustrates the paradox of human ego: those who strive to be the most important often end up isolated, much like high mountain peaks where no trees can grow. In contrast, true greatness lies in being completely ordinary. When we let go of our self-centered minds and judgments, we develop a large, open mind that can accept everyone and everything. An extraordinary person is not someone who stands above others, but someone who lives in seamless harmony with the world, possessing the warm-hearted wisdom of the Creator.

📖 EXCERPT FROM “AMIDST THE ORDINARY THERE IS THE EXTRAORDINARY” BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
“One who has a large open mind without self can accept everything. One who is Truth, without self, reaches the zenith of familiarity with people. He loves all, has great mercy and compassion, and treats others with great mind. […]
Among the ordinary there is the extraordinary. A person who thinks he is the most important thinks that only he is excellent and supreme. But the ordinary person has the greatest mind and can accept everything.”
⭐ REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
We spend so much of our lives trying to be special, to stand out, or to prove our worth. Yet, as Master Woo Myung points out, this very desire creates “thorns” and walls that separate us from others. At Santa Clara Meditation, you can learn how to gently let go of the rigid standards and self-importance of the human mind. As you discard this false self, you return to your original, ordinary nature—a mind that is expansive, entirely accepting, and free of judgment. By becoming truly ordinary, you discover the extraordinary peace and harmony that has always been within you.
