INTRODUCTION
π« In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals that salvation is not a promise of the future, nor something to be received from above β it is the transformation of falseness into Truth.
Throughout history, religions have spoken of the return of the Savior β Christ, Maitreya, Dae-doo-mok β each referring to the same existence: the origin of all creation, the eternal Jung (Spirit) and Shin (Soul) of the Universe.
When this living Truth comes as a human being, the world itself can be resurrected as the existence of Truth. Humanityβs true salvation, therefore, is achieved when we discard falseness and become one with this existence. π
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
What Is Salvation? It Is Falseness Becoming Truth
In Christianity it is said Christ, the Savior, will come down on a cloud with trumpeting angels. In Buddhism, it is said that Maitreya will come to the world of sentient beings, the saha world, to save people. Jung-san told us the Great Commander, Dae-doo-mok, will come, and So-tae-san also said that Maitreya will come.
The terms used above are all different but they denote the same existence.
They all refer to the empty space, the worldβs original master, coming as a human-being.
The master of the world is the master that made all of creation. The master is the existence of Truth. It is natural that this existence – the existence of Jung and Shin that is the source of this Universe – must come to the world in order for the world to be resurrected as the existence of Jung and Shin.
This existence is the place before all of creation came forth and because all of creation came forth from this place, this existence is the living Truth that is the Creator and true existence.
Countless people have tried to become Truth and failed. The reason they were unsuccessful despite their efforts is they were not Truth and a method to become Truth did not exist. Therefore, they could not know Truth.
If someone had achieved Truth, there would have been a method by which he had done so. People believe there have been many saints and enlightened people in the world, but if these people had truly been enlightened, a method would exist.
We seek and search in religion as well as other places in order to become complete because we are incomplete.
The existence spoken of in all religions is Truth. Manβs salvation is becoming this existence – it is when man who is false becomes Truth.

REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, the path to salvation is clearly shown: π
to discard falseness β the self-centered mind world β and to be reborn as the existence of Truth.
When falseness disappears, the one original existence remains within you. This is the true resurrection and salvation that all saints have spoken of.
