📖 ORIGINAL WRITING BY Master Woo Myung
How Overcome Trials
Let’s not waste our energy.
People are foolish and they live thinking that only what is theirs is right. However, none of it is right. As people live with the self-centered mind, every person insists on being the winner no matter what.
This is why everyone, regardless of who it is, is always a fighter.
In those fights, you must have the true mind that has no mind—only then you can win those fights without actually fighting.
Accept others, praise others, and know that everything in the world is there to test you. One who knows this and overcomes those trials with wisdom in all his endeavors is a wise person and a victor.
Living life means to face constant trials, which are the tests. But the day that those tests disappear is the day you have achieved all.
The one who has achieved it all is the one who lives without the various hindrances in life.
Then, his life itself is freedom and the ultimate liberation, and he will simply just live.
To live without the mind is to live a true life. Losing is winning.
When you accept the other person, do not cause strife in him, but instead say that it is your fault, then his heart will soften.
Although you lost, since you are the one with the big mind, you won against that person.
You can be good at what you do because you do not waste your energy on useless matters. The one who has this mind has no challenges or blockages along the path he travels, and so he will be able to live a good life.
One who has a big mind can achieve his goals because he has no challenges or blockages along the path he travels.
