INTRODUCTION
🌌 In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that what people commonly call happiness is only a temporary feeling created by external success. Wealth, achievements, and relationships may bring momentary joy, but they are always followed by loss.
✨ This writing reveals that true happiness is found when the mind no longer pursues happiness. When one escapes from the greedy human mind and returns to the mind of Truth — the mind of nothingness that accepts everything, one becomes naturally and continuously happy, as taught by Master Woo Myung.
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
How to Be Happy and Positive All the Time
People think happiness is when they have what others envy. People think they will be happy if they make lots of money, have a beautiful woman by their side, have a child who does well at school, or when their goals are achieved. But at the end of this happiness, there is inevitable loss, and that is when people become miserable.
True happiness is when people’s minds do not have the mind to pursue happiness. When one has escaped from the human mind, which is filled with greed, then one will always be happy. The mind of Truth that is always alive, the mind of nothingness, is the mind that accepts anything that comes its way. So, it is happiness itself.
As long as the self exists, there is no happiness in one’s desires. When one’s self, which is false and not real, disappears, one becomes the true self and is always happy.
— Woo Myung
