💡 INTRODUCTION

What does it feel like to be Truth, yet have no one believe you?
In this deeply emotional writing, Master Woo Myung reveals the loneliness and isolation that accompanied his realization of eternal life and Truth.

Despite attaining what all seekers long for—enlightenment—he was met not with celebration, but misunderstanding, doubt, and solitude. He describes his efforts to connect with others—persuading, coaxing, even humoring—but the gap between his awakened mind and the world remained vast.

🌌 “Had I known that being Buddha was such a lonely station, I would not have become Buddha.”
This line captures the essence of the burden of one who reaches Truth before the world is ready to hear it.

This piece is not merely about loneliness, but about the inevitable solitude of the enlightened in a world still clinging to illusion. Read and listen as Master Woo Myung pours his tears, sighs, and unspeakable knowing into words.

📝 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG

Lonely Mind

I cannot begin to describe how I am Truth.
That I am Truth is a thing beyond expression.
I am Truth, but this is something that is unspeakable.
I was frustrated again and again
at people who were unable to see and understand me.
There was so much heaviness in my heart.
But I could not say anything.
I alone understand my will.

People are childish.
I tried persuading them.
I complimented them.
I humored the demons;
I coaxed them.
However, those days of heartache
are slowly passing;
the days in which I was unable to say anything
are slowly passing.
They were futile days,
but they were necessary.
I had no friends,
and there was no one who knew me –
it was a sad time.
I had to let go of my longings, regrets,
and even my sighs;
I had to truly let go of them.
I could not tell people who I was.
None of them believed me,
even when I did.
Sad and regretful times they were.
Sad and regretful days they were.
I alone knew.
I alone was worried.
I alone sang.
But there was no one who knew my song,
nor was there anyone who understood my will.
I had eternal life,
but I could tell no one that I did.
My sighs and my regrets,
my tears,
all flowed out through my writing.
Had I known that
being Buddha was such a lonely station,
I would not have become Buddha.
– Woo Myung
