💡 INTRODUCTION
Master Woo Myung explains that many people seek “dō” (Truth or The Way) to achieve worldly success, feel superior, or heal their own feelings of inferiority. However, true dō requires the exact opposite of these self-centered desires. To truly reach enlightenment, we cannot hold onto our egos or try to attain the Truth to benefit our personal illusions. We must completely discard our false selves, preconceptions, and habits, because the Truth can never be contained within something that is fundamentally false.

📖 EXCERPT FROM “THOSE WHO FOLLOW DŌ” BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
“In order to achieve true dō, one must discard his very self and shed all of his own preconceptions and habits. […]
if one tries to gain dō within himself he ultimately fails because dō cannot be contained within something that is false.”
⭐ REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, we often see people approach meditation hoping to gain a quick fix for their stress or a boost to their ego without wanting to put in the effort to truly change. We build incredibly strong mental worlds out of our habits and try to find the Truth while keeping those defensive walls intact. Through our guided method of subtraction, you learn that trying to achieve Truth while holding onto your false self is impossible. As you systematically discard your ego and completely empty your mind, you paradoxically achieve exactly what you desired—you overcome all feelings of inferiority and become complete, living as the real, eternal Truth.
