Why do people meditate?
According to Master Woo Myung, the true reason and purpose of meditation is to be born in the Land of Truth by discarding the false self.
Many forms of meditation exist, but few lead to real enlightenment because they do not help one fully eliminate sin, karma, and the false mind world.
Through the practice taught at Santa Clara Meditation, it is possible to truly become Truth and live without suffering or death.

What Is the Reason and Purpose Why People Meditate?
The reason and purpose why people meditate is to go to the Land of Truth and to be born as Truth. However, this is not being realized.
Although there are many types of meditation— yoga, meditation where one contemplates on a certain topic, breathing meditation, candlelight meditation, meditation in which one purposefully inflicts pain on his body, etc.—it seems that no one is reaching Truth and becoming enlightened.
If you are to reach Truth, you should discard your false body and mind, which are your sin and karma. Then, you can become real, reach Truth, and the existence that makes you reach Truth can make you be reborn in the Land of Truth.
Just as when there is a horse and a carriage, you should whip the horse and not the carriage to get it to travel on the road, when you discard, you can enlighten and reach the Land of Truth, which is the destination. People have never lived in the true world because they live inside their mind world, which overlaps this world.
They are mistaken that they are living in the world and think that they are living in the world. However, they end up dying after dreaming false dreams and doing false deeds in the false world. When you find Truth and live in the Land of Truth, there is no other world. There is no suffering, burden, stress, curiosities, unresolved questions or doubts. It is freedom and nirvana, and although the self exists, it is Truth. The past self has disappeared and it is nirvana.
The true mind exists, but it simply exists without even the mind that it exists and it just lives. Only this place is the eternal, living Land of Truth and only the one who has gone to this land while living can live eternally in this land.
The place that existed before you were born into this world was the place of nothingness, which is Truth. When you discard everything that you have learned, acquired, and known about this world ever since you came to this world, and also discard yourself, you will go back to the place that existed before you were born. It is only when you are born again from that place that you can live. The purpose of meditation is to become Truth; it is to be born in the Land of Truth and live without death.
When the place before you were born into this world becomes your mind and you are born again from that land, you live in Heaven and Paradise that exists within you. The place where you can become Truth and the method to do so would be Truth. Enlightenment is the realization that comes to the extent that your falseness disappears and you have become Truth.
