Introduction
✨ In this thought-provoking teaching, Master Woo Myung reflects on what happens to animal souls after death and how they move toward reincarnation.
According to Master Woo Myung, when animals die, their souls may initially remain near the place where they lived because they do not know where to go. Over time, they gradually realize that they are no longer needed in that place and eventually leave. 🌿
This writing also reflects on animals that die in places such as slaughterhouses, suggesting that many of their souls remain there for a period of time due to regret and confusion about death. After some time passes, these souls wander and eventually move toward the stage before reincarnation, becoming very small masses before entering a new life.
Through these words, Master Woo Myung offers a reflection on animal souls, death, regret, wandering spirits, rites for the dead, and the process leading to reincarnation.
Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
When an animal dies, where does its soul go? Is a slaughterhouse full of dead animals’ souls?
When animals die, their souls do not know where to go. They stay near the place they used to live and after a period of time, they realize by themselves that they are not needed and they leave. Animals killed at a slaughterhouse have regrets that they died without knowing where they must go after death, and the majority stay in the slaughterhouse. All life forms gives off an evil energy when they die. In order for that evil energy to dissipate, they need to be given rites of passage to heaven. It is a shame this is not done for them.
These souls remain for a period of time and then leave. They wander where they like for awhile and after time passes, and when it is time for them to be reincarnated, these souls become very small masses, the shape of a sperm, which wander around in the air. This is the stage before they are reincarnated.

Reflect at Santa Clara Meditation
🌿 The teaching of Master Woo Myung invites reflection on the unseen dimensions of life and death beyond the human world.
This writing suggests that animals, like humans, may experience confusion or lingering attachment after death before moving toward their next stage of existence. It also raises questions about compassion and the spiritual responsibility humans may have toward other living beings.
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners learn to examine the deeper principles of life, death, the soul, karma, compassion, and reincarnation. Through the teachings of Master Woo Myung, one can reflect on the interconnected nature of life and the journey that all beings may take beyond physical existence. ✨
