INTRODUCTION
🌿 Many people say they have faith — in Christianity, Buddhism, or other religions — yet few truly know what faith means.
Master Woo Myung explains that true faith is not found in attending temples or churches,
nor in merely reading scriptures or thinking of saints.
✨ Faith means becoming one with Truth — not believing in words, but becoming the existence itself.
To have real faith is to live as Truth, not simply to profess belief.
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
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.
– Woo Myung
REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
🌺 True faith is oneness.
When one’s mind becomes one with the mind of the Universe — the mind of Truth —
he no longer needs to believe because he is.
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners go beyond mere belief
to experience and embody the living Truth within.
🕊 Through discarding the false self, one becomes the existence of faith itself —
the oneness that all religions ultimately seek.
