INTRODUCTION

✨ In this poetic meditation, Master Woo Myung compares the still Mind to a tranquil lake, where all creation is non-existent and at peace. 🌿 Yet unlike nature, humans live with a tumultuous mind, restless and uncertain.

The teaching reminds us that while all creations follow the will of Heaven, man is lost in illusion. The voice of Truth expresses a gentle worry, waiting for humanity to awaken and return to the stillness of the true Mind. 🌌


ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG

Worry

The still Mind is like a lake.
The still Mind is one in which
the whole of creation is non-existent.
The whole of creation is
the non-existent Mind and the non-existent heart.
Yet man alone has a tumultuous mind.

All creations come and go according to
the will of Heaven,
but man does not know if he is coming or going.
Meanwhile, I alone am Heaven,
and I alone am worried;
I am restless,
wondering when my will
will be conveyed to him.

– Woo Myung
