β¨ Introduction
π What is a βdead lifeβ?
πΏ Master Woo Myung teaches that a life of merely being born and dying is not true lifeβit is like a dream.
π Though everything in existence is alive and Truth itself, people remain trapped in illusion, chasing what cannot be held.
π‘ This teaching urges us to awaken from deep sleep and realize the true world of Truth that already exists.
π Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
A Dead Life
A dead life is a life of being born and dying;
and such a life is a dream.
Everything is Truth
and everything is alive.
Everything in the world is all nonsense
but there is no one who knows that it is so.
Manβs mind is busy
trying to catch clouds and the wind,
but there is nowhere to go or stay –
it is futility itself.
There is nothing man can have,
nothing that remains.
Heaven has appeared
but many remain sleeping, muttering nonsense.
They are woken and woken again,
but their sleep is so deep,
they are unable to awake.
β Woo Myung
π Reflect at Santa Clara Meditation
At Santa Clara Meditation, one learns to awaken from the illusionary mind and discover the living Truth.
π A life bound by birth and death is like a dream.
πΏ Awakening to Truth is entering the real, living world.
