INTRODUCTION
๐ฟ In this profound revelation, Master Woo Myung teaches that the Padma Garbha Loka Dhatu and Tathagata-Garbha World โ the lotus womb and Buddha-nature realms โ are not faraway paradises, but this very world itself, already enlightened and complete.
The reason man cannot see this reality is because of his uncleansed karma and habits.
Only when the false mind disappears and one is reborn as Buddha can he truly enter the real world, the living realm of the infinite.
โจ This is not a doctrine of belief but a realization:
the Universe itself is the body of Buddha, already perfect โ
and when oneโs mind becomes pure, he awakens to this eternal Truth. ๐ธ
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
The Padma Garbha Loka Dhatu, the Tathagata-Garbha World, and the Real World
The padma garbha loka dhatu,
the tathagata-garbha world,
and the real world –
all of these are the names of Buddhaโs realm.
This world is already enlightened,
and all creations are already Buddha.
But instead of seeing or hearing this Land of Buddha
for what it is
man does so with his own delusions,
which is why he is unable to enter into that Land.
Thus he will not have entered into it even after death
and will live as a delusion in his own delusional world –
his hell and his samsฤra.
That this world is already enlightened means
it is already complete and perfect.
But in order to know this world and enter into it,
man must discard his karma and habits completely
as well as be born again as Buddha.
When seen from Buddhaโs point of view,
one is already enlightened and is thus Buddha.
But because his mind is unclean,
he does not know he is enlightened and is thus dead.
Once he cleanses this mind,
he will become complete.
Once he cleanses this mind and becomes Buddha,
who is the Most Infinite,
he will never die
and he will be able to understand the living realm of Buddha.

REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
๐บ The world you live in now is already the Buddha world โ the enlightened realm itself.
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners cleanse their karma and false minds,
realizing the Buddha-nature that has always existed within.
When one discards the self completely,
the infinite Truth of the Padma Garbha Loka Dhatu โ
the lotus realm of enlightenment โ
reveals itself here and now. ๐
