INTRODUCTION
✨ In this profound reflection, Master Woo Myung teaches that perfection exists when man has nothing. True perfection is the state of non-existence, beyond images and forms. 🌌
Although countless creations exist, they are ultimately non-existent, for they arise from and return to the foundation of Truth. The human image, and the images of all beings, confine their minds within form. Only by seeing beyond the image can one recognize the foundation of perfection.
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Image
When man has nothing,
he is perfect.
Perfection is the non-existence of all things.
Even though all sorts of creations and matters exists,
they are also non-existent.
The non-existent state exists of itself,
but that it exists of itself does not mean
it is existent.
The whole of this universe is Truth when
it is not an image,
for Truth is the foundation
and the absence of individual thought.
The individual exists of itself,
yet it is the representation of perfection.
Perfection is the product of image.
Man cannot fly in the sky
because he is of his human image.
All creations are of their respective images –
man’s mind resides in his image,
while the minds of all things reside in theirs.
– Woo Myung
REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners are guided to go beyond images and forms to return to the foundation of Truth. 🖼️ In discarding attachments to image, one finds the state of non-existence, which is perfection itself.
