🌟 INTRODUCTION
✨ In this luminous teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals that true happiness is not something to be pursued—it already exists within the true mind.
When one eliminates the false mind filled with judgments, comparisons, and desires, what remains is the thankful mind, which accepts all things just as they are. 🌿
Gratitude is not a temporary feeling—it is the natural state of the mind of Truth, where acceptance and peace flow effortlessly. To be grateful is to live with a big mind, one that embraces the entire world with understanding and love. 🌸
