What is existence?
In this powerful reflection, Master Woo Myung reveals that life and death are not separate when the individual self disappears. The world exists as a whole, and the eternal mind arises from non-attachment and unity with existence.
Man, by creating a mind of discrimination, separates himself from wisdom.
Through Santa Clara Meditation, we can return to the original state beyond separation—where life and death are one, and where true existence begins.

📝 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Existence
Life and death are not separate –
they are not separate when there is no self,
which is the way all creations in the world exist.
The whole exists when there is no individual self,
and the mind that exists in the whole is eternal.
Individual entities exist –
things in existence exist –
because non-existence exists.
Everything has a form,
the minds of which are existence.
It is from existence that the mind of discrimination was
made by man, and this is the reason he lacks wisdom.
🌱 REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
True existence arises when the self disappears.
Let go of discrimination and return to the eternal mind.
