ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
How to Get Along Better with People
To get along well with people, one should not have an ego or boast about oneself.
You can get along well with people and be liked when you are not opinionated and when you can sincerely accept what others say.
When you are able to accept different people regardless of how they are, then you can get along with others. It is easy to get along with others after eliminating the narrow mind and changing to the mind of the world. You just have to discard the self-centered mind.
โ Woo Myung
REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners learn that difficulties with people arise from the self-centered mindโa narrow perspective that insists, judges, and tries to control others.
When the false mind disappears, one naturally becomes open, accepting, patient, and gentle.
This wider world mind embraces people as they are, without conflict or resistance.
Harmony with others is no longer something to โtryโ forโit becomes a natural way of being when the ego has been discarded. ๐
