INTRODUCTION

โœจ In this poetic reflection, Master Woo Myung speaks of manโ€™s ignorance of his foundation. ๐ŸŒŒ

Though Heaven, earth, and man are one, people live unaware of this unity. Man does not realize that Heaven exists within himself and that there is only one Heaven. Even those who claim to know do not truly know. ๐ŸŒฟ

This teaching invites us to see beyond the limited human perspective and awaken to the truth that man and Heaven are not separate but one.


ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG

Man

After taking a deep breath,
I whistle a tune.
They are the stories created with the passage of time.
The will of Heaven
always seems to be conveyed somewhere.
Heaven does not exist,
but it exists in and of itself,
which is why there is nothing it cannot do with ease.

Man lives not knowing that
Heaven, earth, and man are one in the same.
Man lives as man.
Man is the only one who does not know the foundation.
He does not know that Heaven is man.
He does not know that there is only one Heaven.
Man simply knows nothing.
Even the ones who say they do
actually do not.

โ€“ Woo Myung
