🌟 INTRODUCTION
✨ In this deeply enlightening teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that nirvana is not simply peace or escape—it is the state of being reborn as Truth. While people live trapped in their own false, self-centered worlds filled with stress, burden, and doubt, nirvana is the complete freedom that comes when the false self disappears and only the mind of Truth remains.
To reach nirvana means to be born again in the true world, to live without the self, and to exist eternally in pure freedom and completeness. 🌿
📜 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
What Is Nirvana?
As people live inside their own mind world, which is a false world, they live trapped inside of there with narrow, self-centered and selfish minds. From that mind, there is much suffering and burden, stress, numerous unresolved questions, and doubts.
There are so many things that people do not know, and there is nothing that they know. When people go to the true world and view things from there, they will come to know that they do not know anything at all and that even what they thought they knew are also their own minds.
To reach nirvana means for one’s self, who is living in the false world, to go to the true world and be born again. At this time, one is born again as Truth. Then, the past self disappears, and only the true self exists. This is when one can reach nirvana.
If the self is born again as the mind of Truth and the body of Truth, although the self exists, he has no mind of the self. He just exists.
It is ultimate liberation and freedom even after eternity because your body and mind are free from your past self.
The mind of Truth is the mind where everything has ceased. It is not tainted by any of the worldly affairs and has absolutely no mind at all. None of these things are remembered and there is no mind.
It just exists as it is and that mind is the complete mind.
It is a mind that has escaped all human conceptions and customs.
The state of nirvana is the state in which you just live without the self or the mind. It is the state of nirvana even after eternity because without the self only the true body and mind exist.
– Woo Myung
