💡 INTRODUCTION
What does the Lotus Sutra mean when it says the six senses—eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind—become clean through striving towards Truth? 🌸
According to Master Woo Myung, to strive towards Truth is to walk the path to the original self. As one does so, he sheds human conceptions, attachments, and fixed frames of mind.
✨ True cleanness is not about purity versus impurity. In the state of Truth, there is no distinction—nothingness itself. Man is said to be “clean” because his entire false mind disappears, leaving only the original self. 🌿

📝 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
In the Lotus Sutras, It Is Said That Man’s Six Senses – His Eyes, Ears, Nose, Tongue, Body, and Mind – Will Become Clean If He Diligently Strives Towards Truth. What Does This Mean?
To strive towards Truth is to walk a path towards one’s original self. It is said that man’s senses become clean when he does so because the more he goes towards Truth, the more he is able to shed human conceptions and fixed frames of mind.
However, the state of things just as they are is the state where neither cleanliness nor dirtiness exists – where there is absolutely nothing. The word clean is used when people go towards Truth because their selves disappear.
It is said that one becomes clean because his entire mind is eliminated. When everything is gone there is no self: only the original self remains.
– Woo Myung
