INTRODUCTION
🌤️ In this brief yet timeless poem, Master Woo Myung reminds us of the importance of equanimity—not to boast in wealth and not to despair in poverty. Just as day and night alternate in nature, so do the cycles of fortune and hardship in human life.
True peace comes when one is without the mind of discrimination, seeing both light and darkness as part of the same whole. This teaching invites the reader to let go of judgment, comparison, and desire, awakening to the unchanging truth that lies beyond circumstance. 🌿
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Day and Night
Do not boast, if you are wealthy,
and do not sigh if you are poor.
Life in the world also has day and night.
Be without the mind of discrimination.
– Woo Myung
