💡 INTRODUCTION
What does it truly mean to have faith?
In this concise yet piercing message, Master Woo Myung questions the common understanding of religious faith. Is it about attending church or temple? Reading scriptures? Thinking of saints like Jesus or Shakyamuni?
🔍 The answer, he says, lies deeper:
Faith means to become one—not just with a religion or belief, but to become Truth itself.
True faith is not a matter of external practice or verbal affirmations; it is to become that which one believes in, and the ultimate goal of all religions is to become Truth.
🧘 Words without realization are just illusions.
Master Woo Myung urges us to reflect on whether what we call “faith” is actually real.

Faith
While people talk about being of the Christian faith, the Buddhist faith or having faith in other religions, it seems that they do not know the true criteria for faith. Does a person have faith if he regularly attends a temple, a church or a mosque? Or does he have faith if he reads the religious scriptures? Or then again, is faith having thoughts about the founder, the saint, of a particular religion such as Shakyamuni or Jesus Christ? What are the criteria for faith?
Without even knowing the criteria, we claim to have faith.
The word faith means to become one. To become one is to become that existence itself and the ultimate goal of all religions is to become Truth. When people say that they believe, it is their delusions that are speaking and they are simply just words.
