INTRODUCTION
✨ In this reflection, Master Woo Myung teaches that human life is not true but false, and thus there is nothing real to gain or glorify from it. 🌿
Life lived without knowing its origin and return is spent pessimistically and meaninglessly, no matter how much one sings praises of it. 🌌 True purpose begins only when one discards the false human life and awakens to the true self, where Truth exists eternally.
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Human Life
Human life is not true, but false
so there is nothing to gain, receive or have from it.
All songs and praises that glorify human life are false.
Oh people!
Live knowing what life is,
where it comes from and returns to,
before you grow old.
If you do not,
it is a life lived pessimistically
in time that flows by meaninglessly;
and what use is that?
Although human life is about living one’s life,
cast off your life
and find your true self.
Only then is your life a true one,
and only in that place does Truth exist.
– Woo Myung
