INTRODUCTION
🌸 In this deeply contemplative writing, Master Woo Myung explores the true meaning of home—not as the physical place of birth, but as the original place before creation. People chase comfort and memories, yet they do not know where their true home lies.
The true home exists in silence, beyond greed and attachment, beyond the illusions of this world. To find it, one must return to the emptiness of the original sky within—the place where life and death are one. 🌌
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Home
At home the flowers bloom as they always do.
It seems home is the best place in the world,
because those who leave come back as corpses.
If someone does not come back home,
it is because he is busy trying to make
a living in a foreign land,
and if he is busy, it means he finds it a struggle
to earn enough to live.
Living is just a phase of human life,
but life simply passes by without a purpose.
In the same way that life exists in time,
home is thought to be where your body was born.
People live in foreign lands
holding onto home in their hearts,
but because of their greed
no one, not the living or the dead,
knows the true meaning of home.
The place before one was created is his true home,
but people live with the mistaken belief
that home is the place their bodies were born.
The true home exists silently
but people long for their relationships of the past
while holding onto them only in their minds,
so their home is only a home.
Home is not where your body was born;
man builds his home in his own empty sky
and longs for home.
– Woo Myung
