💡 INTRODUCTION
We all carry vivid memories of our past—times of struggle, poverty, physical pain, and sorrow. 💭 We often build our entire identities around these stories, allowing the weight of “yesterday” to heavily dictate our present. In this deeply personal and poetic teaching titled “Memories,” Master Woo Myung reflects on his own detailed recollections of a difficult past in the countryside, only to reveal the profound freedom of living without them.
When the self is completely eliminated, the agonizing stories and heavy memories we harbor no longer truly exist. 🌬️ To experience true life is to live entirely in the present, completely absent of the self, with no plans, no will, and no burdens from the past—simply existing and “doing” as you are. ✨

📖 EXCERPT FROM “MEMORIES” BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
We live as human beings, but we are different from humans because we – my wife and I – live completely absent of our selves. […]
Though I may look like a human being just like you, I am different from you because I live absent of my mind, because I live with no plans, no will, no yesterday, and no tomorrow. […]
But because I no longer exist, such stories no longer exist. I have long since forgotten them.
