💡 INTRODUCTION

Master Woo Myung explains that the worldly joy we feel from temporary achievements or seeking approval is fleeting and circumstantial. True happiness is only found when we live with the mind of Truth—a state of absolute freedom and liberation, entirely empty of burdens, worries, and worldly attachments.

📖 EXCERPT BY MASTER WOO MYUNG

“When something that they wish for comes true, people feel ecstatic in their minds and live thinking that this is what happiness is. However, this joy lasts only for that moment and it is not true happiness. True happiness is when you live with the mind of Truth—then you are the one who is truly happy. […]

It is the mind of freedom and liberation that is free from possession or happiness. It has no concerns, worries, stress, suffering, or burden.”

🌱 REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION

At Santa Clara Meditation, we often see people endlessly chasing the next big milestone—a promotion, a new possession, or social approval—believing it will finally bring them lasting joy. However, as Master Woo Myung points out, this conditional happiness is always fleeting. Because this joy relies entirely on temporary, external circumstances and the endless desires of our self-centered mind, the initial excitement inevitably fades, leaving us anxious and constantly chasing the next high.

Through our step-by-step subtraction method, you have the exact tool to discover a profound happiness that never changes. By actively discarding your accumulated karma, deeply ingrained habits, and the false ego that constantly desires worldly achievements, you empty the mind of its heavy burdens and attachments. As this illusionary self is completely thrown away, you naturally awaken to the true mind of the Universe. In this state of absolute liberation, you experience a happiness beyond happiness—a peaceful Nirvana where you are truly free, possessing nothing, yet lacking nothing at all.
