INTRODUCTION

✨ In this short yet profound reflection, Master Woo Myung reveals that the root of agony lies not in external causes but in the self-made mind. 🌿

Agonies and burdens are not created by othersβ€”they arise from the self, shaped by one’s own life and attachments. 🌌 When the self disappears, nothing remains to create agony, and one awakens to true freedom and peace.

ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG

Agony

People’s agonies
come from the minds they have.
Nothing exists when there is no self.
Burdens are not created by someone else;
they are expressions of one’s self,
formed by his life.

– Woo Myung

REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION

At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners are guided to see that agony comes from the false self. 🌠 By discarding this self and awakening to the universe mind, one lives in freedom, no longer bound by burdens or suffering.
