INTRODUCTION
β¨ In The Age of Discrimination, Master Woo Myung reveals a quiet but profound contrast: the natural world remains impartial, while the human mind creates separation. The clear sky and silent earth make no distinction between βyouβ and βme,β yet people divide themselves by race, appearance, and history. π
πΏ Master Woo Myung points out that true human nobility is invisible, yet society continues to judge by what can be seen. Discrimination, he suggests, is not born from reality itself, but from minds shaped by lived experience, misunderstanding, and fear. π
Through this reflection, Master Woo Myung invites us to look beyond outward differences, question the assumptions of our own minds, and rediscover the unity that already exists in nature. β¨
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
The Age of Discrimination
There are no clouds in the pristine clear blue-black sky,
and even here on the earth in America, great nature is silent
and does not discriminate between you and me.
People however, discriminate between black, white and yellow.
Everyoneβs minds are different;
their minds are formed by the lives they lived,
and there is a lack of mutual understanding.
Now and in the past, people do not know manβs nobility,
and although it cannot be seen
there is discrimination based on outward appearances.
The present world is one where people live with mutual wariness.
β Woo Myung
πΏ REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, this teaching is contemplated not as social critique, but as inner awakening. By recognizing how the mind creates division, practitioners learn to transcend appearances and return to the original unity described by Master Woo Myung. π
