INTRODUCTION
✨ In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals the true meaning of resurrection. While many religions interpret rising from the grave as the revival of the physical body, the Truth is far deeper: all matter has a limited lifespan and eventually disappears, so physical resurrection cannot be the true meaning.
A person’s real grave is the world of self-made conceptions and habits in which he lives. To “rise from the grave” means to escape from the self, unite with Truth, and live eternally with freedom. Therefore, resurrection is when one’s self no longer exists and one is reborn as the living Truth. 🌟
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
To Rise from the Grave
Certain religions believe that ‘resurrection’ refers to the revival of the body. In other words, they believe that after a person has died and gone to his grave, it is from within his body that he is resurrected from his grave. Even mummies long ago were made based upon the belief that they would live again, and so the bodies of the dead were prepared so that they would not decompose. But the Truth of all truths is that all forms of matter in this world have a limited life span and will thus eventually disappear.
Rising from the grave does not mean that decayed corpses will come out from their graves with all of their bodily features regenerated. It is one’s own conceptions and habits that are a person’s grave. And it is because he lives inside himself that he lives in his own grave. A person who has come out from within himself and has become one with Truth – a person who has escaped from his grave and lives eternally with freedom – is the person who has risen from the grave. Therefore, resurrection is when one’s self no longer exists; it is when one has become united with the living Truth and has thus been reborn.
