INTRODUCTION
🌸 In this clear and practical teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that stress does not come from external events, but from the self-constructed mind that refuses to accept them.
When things do not go as planned, when expectations are unmet, or when multiple problems pile up, stress arises because one’s mind is narrow and attached.
True freedom from stress begins when one discards the false human mind and returns to the mind that has absolutely nothing—the mind of the Universe. When all karma and habits are eliminated, there is nothing left to react or suffer. 🌿
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
How to Eliminate Stress
People get stressed when they struggle with what they are doing,
when things do not work out as they expected,
and when there is no progress as a result.
And when other incidents happen in addition to all of that,
considerable stress adds up.
All of this stress comes from the self-constructed and narrow mind
that is unable to accept.
For example, even when people face the same issue,
some will experience less stress and others more.
The level of stress experienced depends on the size of the individual’s mind.
People’s stress exists in their own minds
and is triggered when their minds cannot accept something.
Whereas, when you discard this,
and have the mind that has absolutely nothing in it,
you will have no stress.
When you discard and eliminate the karma and habits that are within you,
there is no stress.
– Woo Myung
