INTRODUCTION
✨ In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the essential difference between falseness and Truth. 🌌
Religions often fight among themselves, each insisting it alone is right. But falseness remains false, even if it speaks of Truth or resembles it. Unless one has become Truth while living, one is still false.
The way to salvation is simple yet absolute: discard the false self completely—the body and mind of attachments, karma, and sin. Just as Christ exemplified through the crucifixion and as Buddhism describes in mahanirvana (great death), parinirvana (death without remains), and nistha nirvana (perfect death), only by fully dying to the false self can one be resurrected as Truth.
Memorizing scriptures is not enough. Truth emerges only when one repents and eliminates all falseness, becoming complete.
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Falseness and Truth
People insist their own religions are right and that other religions are cults or heretical.
Falseness is always false even if it appears similar to Truth and it is false even if it speaks of Truth. Truth must be Truth for it to be true.
While travelling around the world, I have seen a lot of in-fighting in each religion – they seem to lack wisdom. Then, what exactly is Truth? If you have not become Truth, that is real and true, aren’t you false? Have you become complete? And if you have not, then again, aren’t you false?
The way for falseness to become Truth is to discard one’s false body and mind entirely.
Only a person who eliminates all of his self, just as Christ did by being crucified, can become Truth. Buddhism speaks of a “big” death, mahanirvana, a death without remains, paranirvana, and a perfect death, nistha nirvana. If one dies in such a “big” way and eliminates all of one’s false self without anything remaining, he will be resurrected because his sins and karma no longer exist.
Salvation is falseness becoming Truth. The way to become Truth is to discard one’s false self; then only Truth will remain and he can be reborn as Truth.
Places which were unable to teach you how to become Truth now, or places which until now have not helped you to become Truth, are all false. Even if a place speaks of Truth and is similar to Truth, it is false if one cannot become Truth there.
If you are not complete, then aren’t you false? This is a question that should be considered seriously.
Even if one memorizes the Buddhist scriptures, the Bible, the Koran, the Vedas or all the other scriptures in the world, Truth does not exist in what one has memorized. Truth emerges only when one repents all of his sins, and only then can he truly know the principles of Truth.
