INTRODUCTION
โจ In this profound writing, Master Woo Myung reveals that the true answer to prayer is not found in external voices or emotions but in the elimination of delusion within. Many believe they hear Godโs reply, yet what they hear are merely the echoes of their own desires and attachments. ๐ฟ
When one removes the false self and greedy mind, the true God or Buddha that exists within begins to speak. The extent to which oneโs delusions are discarded is the extent to which Truth is revealed and divine guidance can be heard. ๐ธ
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
The Answer to Prayer
Man seeks God or Buddha in the places where he prays. But he who has a delusional self rejoices that he has heard Godโs reply to his prayer, when actually, what he heard was the sound of his own delusions. As time passes, he will come to realize that the replies he hears are the sounds of his own greedy delusions – of his own ghosts.
A true answer to prayer can only be heard when one eliminates one’s delusions from within, and God or Buddha has been revealed. The God or Buddha that is inside speaks to him only as much as he has eliminated his delusions – only as much as God or Buddha has been revealed.
