What does it mean to have faith?
Master Woo Myung explains that true faith is not about hoping or praying for things to come true—
it is the state of becoming the Mind of God, Buddha, and the Creator.
Only through complete repentance and enlightenment can we break the narrow, false self and awaken to the infinite Mind of Truth.

📝 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG

True Faith
Faith is the conviction one has in his heart – in his mind.
One believes when one’s mind believes.
Whatever it may be, a person’s mind believes it when
his mind becomes one with it.
God, Buddha, Haneol-nim, and the Creator are all Truth.
To believe in Truth means
to cleanse one’s unclean mind and repent
and thus become the Mind of Truth,
which is the biggest, widest, highest, and lowest Mind.
Only such belief is true faith in
God, Buddha, and Haneol-nim, and the Creator;
unless a person has conviction in his mind and becomes
one with God, Buddha, Haneol-nim, and the Creator,
he has no faith in his mind.
To have conviction in one’s mind means that
one’s mind has been enlightened.
One is able to enshrine God and Buddha inside him
when he has become
the biggest, widest, highest, and lowest Mind –
the Mind of infinity.
Because he has become God and Buddha,
he has faith in them.
It is only when one’s mind believes
that he truly believes.
When I ask people whether or not they believe in
the God and Buddha that is within them,
they usually say they do.
But such faith is not true faith;
what they are actually believing in are
the gods and buddhas of their own delusions;
what they are actually believing in is a religion in which
they seek to have their desires fulfilled.
It is only when one’s mind has become as perfect as Truth
that one’s narrow mind will break
and the Mind of God and Buddha will appear.
And it is according to the degree to which this Mind appears
that one is able to know:
such is enlightenment.
It is according to the degree to which this Mind appears
that he has faith.
God and Buddha do not exist in man.
Man is trapped inside himself due to his sins
and so it is only when he is free from that grave that
there is God and Buddha.
Only when one has completely repented for all of his sins
will he have faith depending on the degree of repentance.
It is only when one has God and Buddha
enshrined wholly in his forehead – in his thought-mass –
that he would have completely repented for all of his sins.
True faith is the state in which
one has become God and Buddha,
or in other words, the faith itself.
