✨ Introduction
🌿 In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explores the fundamental question of why human beings are born and what their true purpose is.
🌊 He reveals that most people live their lives chasing time, desires, and thoughts, without realizing that everything they pursue exists only within a false mind that does not truly exist.
🕊️ While human life passes like a fleeting moment, the true world—the world without mind—has always existed, yet remains unseen by those trapped in illusion.
✨ This writing guides us toward discovering the true mind, becoming one with Truth, God, and the Universe, and living an eternal life beyond the dream-like human world.
🧘 Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
What One Came to the World to Do
Where are you going in such a hurry?
Why are you running wildly here and there?
You may regret the years that passed silently
but you cannot catch time,
nor can it be caught.
Even this moment cannot be caught
once it disappears.
You may hold onto what remains –
the mind engraved by those years –
but no trace of that time is left in the world.
Sitting by the flowing river,
I think about the futility of life.
Many who have sat and rested beside this river
have followed the years and disappeared.
Man lives out his one human lifetime,
inside the mind that he has made
but that mind is something that does not exist,
so he wastes his life; he spends it uselessly in a false world.
Yet there is not one person who wonders why he lives that way;
no one even thinks about it.
The new world, the land without minds,
existed from long ago, yet none have ever gone there;
it is a road far, far, from where man is able to go.
No matter how hard he tries, he cannot get there,
because man comes from a false world
that does not exist in the world.
Only when the master of the world comes,
that is, when a person of the world comes,
will he enable man to travel that distant path.
And yet, no one knows that it is the way of the world
that only when the master of the world comes as a human being,
will man be able to go to the world,
and be born and live in the world.
If you ask the flowing water that aimlessly follows the river,
it is not interested in the least.
Nor are the skies or the trees in the mountains.
They just live a life of nature’s flow,
following the principles of nature,
and they are free from curiosity.
They do not have human minds,
and therefore their mind is Truth.
True mind exists, yet it does not dwell within its existence.
It exists of and by itself,
free from minds and knowledge;
it is the mind where everything has ceased –
the mind of the emptiness.
It has no curiosity, questions or doubts;
and it does not try to know anything.
It does not see, hear, or speak;
it has no taste, sound or smell;
it has absolutely nothing.
This mind is the true mind;
everything in the world is born from this true mind
because this mind is alive.
If man had this true mind
he would most certainly have wisdom.
While it is the state of mind where everything has ceased,
it is also the mind that knows
the ways of heaven and earth,
the ways of the human world,
and the ways of the world.
Because God is wisdom itself,
God knows all through wisdom.
What one knows through words,
are words made within his mind, by his mind.
It is said that the origin of wisdom is knowing God,
because becoming one with God
allows one to know all the ways of the world.
Only he who has been absolved of all his sins,
with nothing remaining, can become Truth and know Truth.
If you do not exist,
only the origin remains,
you become the origin itself,
and the master of that land will enable you to be born in that land.
While man dies after living seventy years within a dream,
he who is born in the world lives the life of the world,
and isn’t the life of the world eternal?
If one is born with the soul of the world,
he becomes one with the world
and he is able to live in the world to the age of the world.
When man, from within his world of hell, the saha world,
destroys it, he is resurrected in the true world –
such is human completion,
and he goes to heaven while he is living.
Is there anything in the world more important than this?
Do not wander seeking something;
within you, there is God and Buddha,
and heaven is also within,
so when your mind of sins has been cleansed,
this land can be found within you.
