INTRODUCTION
🌬️ In Wind I, Master Woo Myung poetically reveals that the wind is not merely a natural element but a profound metaphor for life’s impermanence and the unseen Truth that moves all things.
Though the wind has no form, it fills the universe and gives breath to life. Yet people neither see it nor understand it—just as they fail to perceive the formless origin within themselves.
Master Woo Myung reminds us that life flows like wind and water, and only when one releases all attachments can the mind become one with the boundless universe. To live as the wind is to live freely, without grasping, without self—returning to the stillness that moves everything. 🍃
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Wind I
The wind is
something that comes out of nowhere.
People know the wind,
but they never stop to think about what it is.
The wind fills the universe
but those who know what it is are too few.
When I tell them that wind is man and man is wind
they just tilt their heads in confusion.
But for sure, human life comes and goes like the wind;
upon seeing it from the world,
I know that life is only full of futility.
Human life is like flowing water,
but man lives clutching it,
unwilling to let it go.
If he were to let his futile life loose into the wind,
what will remain is the wind.
If that wind were to become him
and he made his way throughout the universe,
then the people of the world would envy him.
But people cannot see the wind,
and this saddens my heart without limit.
– Woo Myung
REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners learn to release the grasping mind that clings to life’s illusions. 🌾
Through deep reflection and the discarding method, one discovers that to let go is not loss—it is to become one with the infinite wind, moving freely through the vast universe without boundaries.
When the false self disappears like the passing breeze, only Truth remains—silent, invisible, and eternal. 🌌
