💡 INTRODUCTION
What does the boundless, empty sky truly represent? 🍃 In this evocative poem titled “Emptiness,” Master Woo Myung reflects on how we live our lives hurriedly, casting our pain and sorrow into the wind. We go through life with our spiritual eyes closed, tormented and unaware of the true reality around us.
We often think of those who have passed on, gazing up at the empty sky without truly understanding what that emptiness is. Yet, the answers are right in front of us. Even a simple fallen leaf tumbling in the backyard silently teaches us the profound truth of the Universe. 🍂 When we finally open our eyes and let go of our self-centered minds, we can understand the silent wisdom of the emptiness. ✨

📝 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Emptiness
The wind blows hurriedly following in the emptiness. The mind lives life hurriedly. One lives casting the pain he has in his mind into the emptiness; he lives casting the sorrow he has in his mind into the wind. He is tormented as he lives following the wind and the emptiness with his eyes closed.
Long ago people lived, but they have all passed on. Each person creates countless places that are his own and so even though those people have all passed on, he does not know the true place that those people have passed on to; instead he looks to the empty sky thinking about those people who have gone.
There is no one in the world who knows what this empty sky really is. There is a fallen leaf tumbling around in the backyard; one asks it what the empty sky really is. Without a word, the leaf teaches him, but he is too blind to see it.
– Woo Myung
