INTRODUCTION
🌸 In this lyrical and profound message, Master Woo Myung teaches that the wind chimes of Heaven ring eternally, yet people fail to hear them. Instead, they look to the sky and sigh, unaware that life in Heaven and life on earth are not separate.
The sound of these chimes reminds us that what is truly precious is the life we live together on earth, sharing love and understanding. 🌿
When humans live only for themselves, detached from nature’s flow, life becomes full of meaningless attachments. True peace arises only when we live as one with Heaven, man, and earth, in the rhythm of the Universe’s gentle harmony. 🌠
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
The Sound of Wind Chimes
The wind chimes of Heaven ring leisurely,
but people do not know this
and so they look to the sky and sigh.
Listen! Listen!
I say to you all that life in Heaven
does not exist separately from
life on earth.
What is truly valuable is
the life you live on the earth with each others’ love.
People are bound to their bodies,
and so they childishly think that
the lives they are living are everything.
However the place where everyone has come from is
the Universe;
its Body is all of you
and so all of you are one and the same.
Since you live your own lives in the world –
a world where
the distinction between ‘you’ and ‘me’ exists
but love does not –
and since your lives are not of the will
of Heaven, man, and earth,
what you are doing is seeking to do nothing more
than satisfy your meaningless attachments.
A life that is of nature’s flow
is not a life that is lived only for oneself;
nature’s flow is about living together.
– Woo Myung
