INTRODUCTION
β¨ In this poetic reflection, Master Woo Myung reveals the meaning of DΕ (ι)βthe path of Truth. Humanity lives in separation, clinging to the false self, not realizing that you and I are already one. πΏ
True awakening comes when the false self disappears and one discovers the original non-existent self, which is the true master. In this realization, oneness is restored, and the path of DΕ is no longer complicated but simple and easy.
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
DΕ (ι)
Man lives carelessly,
not knowing Truth or falseness,
but comes to know them by coincidence.
Such is none other than the path of βdΕ (Truth)β.
Listen!
We are not separate;
we never were.
We are all one.
Because we have established this separation between us,
βYouβ and βIβ exist and we fail to see we are one.
This oneness is Truth
and it is the original you.
But you have been blinded by your false self
and are thus unable to find your true self.
You are of your true self
when your body and mind no longer exist.
The true self is
the original non-existent self that is the master,
which is why you are unable to see
your original true self.
You live clinging to your self
that was never non-existent or was ever born,
and this is why you are absent of your true self.
Now that I know,
now that I have awakened,
I see that dΕ is a funny game.
Let us wake up together β
I have found that Truth is quite simple and easy.
β Woo Myung
