In a time when few walked the Earth, every mountain was green.
Yet the green mountains of Truth are not those seen by the eyes—they are those untouched by human concepts. 🌄
Master Woo Myung teaches that the term “green mountains” is manmade, shaped by perception and language. In the enlightened Mind, bald mountains and green ones are the same—there is no distinction. The green mountains of the Mind are utterly pure, yet unseen by the ordinary mind still caught in duality.
When will we begin to see beyond color and form?
Through Santa Clara Meditation, we begin to recognize that Truth is not in what we label with our thoughts, but in the silent, invisible purity of what simply is.
Green Mountains
In the days
when there were not many people living in the world,
every mountain was green.
The green mountains that people speak of
are the ones in which the trees are lustrous with green.
But the green mountains of Truth are not those –
green mountains and bald mountains are the same.
The term ‘green mountains’ is one that man has made;
an enlightened person deems them to be non-existent.
The green mountains of the Mind is
pure as pure can be,
but it is invisible in the eyes of man.
When will man be able to find the green mountains?
– Woo Myung
