INTRODUCTION
🌿 In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals that the origin of religion is not in human thought or belief, but in the existence of the Original Foundation — the place where all creations came from.
This existence is the Spirit and Soul (Jung and Shin) of the Universe — the same essence known as the Holy Father and Holy Spirit in Christianity, and as Dharmakaya and Sambhogakaya in Buddhism. ✨
Until now, humanity has only talked about this existence conceptually. True knowing comes only when this existence of Truth — God, Buddha, Allah, or Haneolnim — exists within one’s own mind. When that happens, one realizes that Truth is the true origin of all religions. 🌌
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
What Is the Origin of Religion?
The origin of religion is the existence of the Original Foundation, which is the place where all creations in this world came from. Religion is where people discuss and speak of this existence. This existence is the existence of the Spirit and Soul, the body and mind of the universe, which is the true existence. This existence is the existence of the Holy Father and the Holy Spirit in Christianity, the existence of Dharmakaya and Sambhogakaya in Buddhism, and Jung (Spirit) and Shin (Soul) in the Korean folk religion that follows Haneolnim. People merely talked about this existence and did not have this existence within their minds, so there is only an abstract and conceptual God, Buddha, Allah, Haneolnim. Such an existence is an illusionary existence, so even if a person looks for all eternity, he can never know the existence of Truth that is God, Buddha, Allah, Haneolnim. Just as one can only know something when he has it within his mind, only the one who has God, Buddha, Allah, Haneolnim, and also the true world within him will have it. The origin of religion is Truth, and Truth is God, Buddha, Allah, Haneolnim. Now, you can only know the origin of religion when this existence exists within you.
