π INTRODUCTION
β¨ Master Woo Myung concludes his timeless teachings with a truth as clear as the morning sun:
when every false mind, thought, and attachment has been completely erased,
only Truth remains. πΏ
This is the essence of all meditation, all enlightenment, and all existence.
The false mind adds endlessly β seeking, wanting, possessing β
but when all is subtracted and all falseness destroyed,
what remains is eternal, indestructible, and pure.
Truth cannot be destroyed because it is not made;
it simply is. π
π ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Truth Remains Once All Falseness Have Been Destroyed
There is a Korean saying that goes, βHuh, huh, cham, Iβm at a loss for words!β
Huh, huh, cham (an interjection or exclamatory remark that literally means βfalse, false, Truthβ) means once all falseness have been eliminated, Truth will emerge. While living in this world, the world of illusion, we have only learned how to add to our minds.
In other words, as we lived seeing, hearing, speaking, smelling, we only acquired more minds of greed – the mind that wants to possess all sorts of things, and the entire world. The sum of these minds has become our present selves.
There is no end to the mind that wants to have more. The more one has, the more false pictures he gets, which turn into burden and suffering. When we get rid and get rid again of all falseness, in the end only Truth will remain. Falseness eventually disappears when you eliminate it because it is false, but Truth always remains as it is, no matter how hard you try to destroy it because it is true.
Truth is what remains at the very end.
He who has erased all falseness is a true person.

π REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, this realization marks the final stage of awakening β
the point where nothing false remains and only Truth shines. πΏ
In meditation, we discard endlessly β images, memories, attachments, and desires.
Yet when all that is false has vanished,
what remains is unshakable, timeless, and eternal: Truth itself.
Truth cannot be destroyed; it is beyond gain or loss.
To live as Truth is to live free, eternal, and whole.
Such a person β one who has erased all falseness β
is the true person, the embodiment of Truth. π
