INTRODUCTION
🌠 In this illuminating discourse, Master Woo Myung unveils the ultimate purpose of all religions—the prophecy that humanity will one day reach completion and live eternally in the world of Truth.
All religions have spoken of a time when the complete being—the master of Heaven among heavens—will come to lead mankind to the true Heaven, where there is no death.
Whether called the return of Christ or the coming of Maitreya, these are not separate promises, but one Truth spoken in different tongues. 🌿
When man discards his false self and repents completely, he can be reborn in the land of the true Heaven, achieving what all religions have prophesied since the beginning of time.
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Religion
In all the religions that have ever existed in this world, people listened to the words of past saints and they tried to adhere to those words from within their mind worlds.
The saints all spoke of a complete being coming to the world one day and that at this time all men could become complete and live in a world where man is able to live forever without death. Essentially, they were all prophecies.
In Christianity it is said that a complete person will come to the world and take us to heaven and in Buddhism it is said that Maitreya will come to the world to save mankind.
They indicate that this entity, the master of the heaven amongst heavens, will come to the world.
Salvation is when this entity comes in human form to take people to the true heaven of the world in which they live, enabling them to live forever.
It is the way of the world that we live once, then die. Now consider for a moment that you had never been born in the world. Doesn’t the world still exist?
That world has existence when you exist, and if that world does not exist, only the original foundation, the emptiness that is the original shape and form of the Universe where nothing exists, remains.
This existence is the Creator that is the origin and the source, and the heaven amongst heavens, which is Truth.
Only when this existence comes in human form can people be reborn as Truth, because this existence is Truth. Only this existence is the Savior.
All religious scriptures are prophecies of being reborn as Truth and living forever in the land of Truth.
Only this existence that is Truth is the complete person and only this being can give man salvation.
Even though each religion waits for the coming of this existence, this existence of Truth does not exist in the mind of man because his mind lives inside an illusion.
Thus man is unable to know when this existence has come, or gone.
He is unable to know, because he only looks at outward appearances and has no Truth within his mind.
In Biblical times, the Jewish people were bound in their preconceptions to their interpretations of the Old Testament and were unable to recognize the existence of Jesus Christ when he came, and to this day they do not believe in Christ.
Today’s religious followers, each bound to their religious scriptures, are no different from the Jewish people of old who were unable to recognize the coming and going of the true Savior.
During the time of incompletion religions spoke of and handed down the words of saints.
However, the time of completion will come, and man becoming complete in this time of completion is Truth.
Man is incomplete because he is false and fake; he lives in his own world made by taking pictures of the world, of the land of Truth.
He is dead and a sinner because he betrays the original master, the master of the world and the origin; he copies the master’s world and makes it his own world.
Emptying and discarding this mind world is repentance and penitence.
If one has completely destroyed his world and his self also no longer exists, he is able to go to the world of the master.
Being born and living in the heaven amongst heavens, which is the master, is the land of the true heaven.
The place where this is accomplished is the place where the ultimate purpose of all religions is realized.
Instead of being bound to one’s wrongful preconceptions, he who comes to the place where one can actually become Truth and repents, will live.
