INTRODUCTION

โœจ In this teaching, Master Woo Myung reflects on the meaning of life itself. ๐ŸŒŒ

From the human perspective, life and death appear to exist. Yet in Truth, both living and dying do not exist. All things arise and pass away through conditions, but none of these events are ultimate or eternal. ๐ŸŒฟ

To see beyond the cycle of occurrences is to awaken to Truthโ€”the reality that transcends all human experiences of life and death.


ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG

Life I

If one asks what it is to live,
I answer that both living and dying do not exist.
All things in the world live lives
where life and death exist.
All occurrences and happenings exist because of life,
and we come into the world through certain conditions
and through them, we leave the world.
None of peopleโ€™s many events are Truth.

โ€“ Woo Myung
