💡 INTRODUCTION
When you picture an enlightened person (a dō-in), do you imagine a mystical elder with a long flowing beard, robes, and supernatural abilities? 🧘♂️ In this eye-opening teaching titled “The Life of a Dō-In,” Master Woo Myung shatters these common stereotypes and illusions.
Many people seek meditation hoping to gain special talents or magical powers. When they learn that the true path actually requires eliminating their attachments and the self, they often leave, disappointed that it doesn’t satisfy their greedy fantasies. 🌬️ A true dō-in is not someone who performs tricks; they are simply someone who has discarded the false mind and been reborn as Truth. They accept the world exactly as it is, live completely liberated from the burden of the ego, and dedicate their lives to selflessly serving others. ✨

📖 EXCERPT FROM “THE LIFE OF A DŌ-IN” BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
“People tend to have their own conceptions of what an ideal ‘dō-in (道人)’ or ‘one walking the Way of enlightenment’ is. […] In the past, a dō-in was someone who could perform many tricks or had special talents and was capable of doing things others could not do, such as flying, for which he was thus praised. […]
A dō-in is a person who has been born again as one with the eternal and everlasting Truth that is God and Buddha. Humans do not have wings, and so man’s inability to fly is Truth; everything is Truth just as it is. Therefore, a dō-in is one who lives liberated. […]
A dō-in does not exist in those idealistic images man has. […] Indeed, the life of a true dō-in is one that saves people and selflessly works for others.”
