💡 INTRODUCTION
What does it mean to return to the origin of the Universe? 🌌
According to Master Woo Myung, all things—man, animals, plants, celestial bodies, and even the Earth—eventually return to nonexistence, the origin of the Universe.
✨ This nonexistence is immaterial and without form, yet it is the original body of the Universe. To practice dō (Truth) is to return to this origin—an existence that is both substantial and insubstantial, beyond existence and non-existence. 🌿
Thus, dō is the way of knowing the original self, and this knowing is the very act of returning to the origin.

📝 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
What Does “Returning to the Origin of the Universe” Mean?
Whether it be man, animals, plants, the celestial bodies in the sky, or Earth itself, everything returns to nonexistence – the origin of the Universe.
Non-existence is without form and immaterial, and it exists amidst nothingness as the original body that is the origin of the Universe.
To do dō (seek or practice Truth) is to return to this original body that is insubstantial and yet substantial, that exists amidst non-existence and does not exist amidst existence.
The creations of the Universe, just as they exist, are this existence that is substantial and insubstantial. Therefore dō is knowing this existence that is our original selves, and this knowing is to return to the origin of the Universe.
– Woo Myung

🌿 To return to the origin is to awaken beyond existence and non-existence.
✨ Dō is the practice of realizing that the original self is already the Universe’s origin body.
Through Master Woo Myung’s meditation, we learn to let go of illusion and truly return to the origin of the Universe.
