💡 INTRODUCTION
Master Woo Myung clarifies a profound teaching from the Lotus Sutras regarding the purification of the six senses. “Cleaning” our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind does not mean a physical washing, nor does it imply a dualistic state of clean versus dirty. Rather, it describes the process of shedding our human conceptions, judgments, and fixed frames of mind. When we strive toward Truth and systematically eliminate the false self, our senses return to their original, unburdened state—capable of experiencing the world exactly as it is, without any added illusions.

📖 EXCERPT FROM “IN THE LOTUS SUTRAS, IT IS SAID THAT MAN’S SIX SENSES…” BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
“To strive towards Truth is to walk a path towards one’s original self. It is said that man’s senses become clean when he does so because the more he goes towards Truth, the more he is able to shed human conceptions and fixed frames of mind. […]
The word clean is used when people go towards Truth because their selves disappear. It is said that one becomes clean because his entire mind is eliminated. When everything is gone there is no self: only the original self remains.”
🌱 REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
We constantly filter our daily experiences through the lens of our accumulated conceptions and judgments, which muddies our senses and distorts reality. At Santa Clara Meditation, the practice is to systematically discard these deeply rooted “pictures” and the self that holds onto them. As this false mind is eliminated, you experience a profound clarity in your everyday life. You no longer perceive the present moment through the heavy filters of past memories or future worries. Your senses become “clean” because the self that judges and conceptualizes is gone. You are simply left with the true, original mind, experiencing reality exactly as it is in absolute peace. ✨
