Meditations of Master Woo Myung

✨ About This Reading
In this reflective teaching, Master Woo Myung speaks about the many paths people walk in life. Though each person may hurry along their way, few know where they are truly headed.

When a person walks without clinging to thoughts or comparisons, his path becomes the way of Truth, and his life ...

✨ About This Reading
In this deep teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the true nature of memories. Every person lives by the remembered pictures of the past, and these memories become the roots of one’s mind. Yet, because they are only fleeting images, they keep people bound to a false life that eventually ends in death. True liberation comes when one sets all memories—one’s karma and past—ablaze, freeing the mind from burdens a...

In this gentle and poetic teaching, Master Woo Myung reflects on the simple beauty and strength of the cosmos flower. Though it sways in the cold wind and frost, it continues to bloom with resilience. Unlike flowers that only thrive under perfect conditions, the cosmos shows that true strength is born from enduring hardship and growing through challenges. In the same way, when a person endures life’s difficu...

✨ About This Reading
In this poetic teaching, Master Woo Myung reflects on the image of a sailboat drifting across the blue waves. While it may appear serene and beautiful from the outside, the sailboat itself symbolizes loneliness as it moves forward alone. In the same way, when people live within the pictures of their own minds and speak of heaven with false detachment, they experience loneliness. True liberation from loneline...

✨ About This Reading
In this teaching, Master Woo Myung explains how human life is shaped by the contents of one’s mind. From childhood, people live according to the images, memories, and knowledge they store—be it law, architecture, or technology.

True living begins when a ...

In this insightful teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals a profound truth about Heaven, the Land of Bliss, and Paradise. People often assume they will go to Heaven after death, yet Master Woo Myung explains that if one has not already been reborn into the true world while living, there is no Heaven to enter afterward.

✨ About This Reading
In this deep teaching, Master Woo Myung explains why human beings are incomplete and what it truly means to live. Humans believe they are living in the real world, yet in truth, they dwell inside the false world of their own minds, made up of remembered images taken through their eyes, ears, nose, and body. This mistaken life leads inevitably to death, for the self bound by false pictures cannot live eternal...

True human completion comes by discarding the false mind—our karma, ...

✨ About This Reading
In this deep and transformative teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals the true path to Heaven, the Land of Bliss, and Paradise—not after death, but while still living.

✨ About This Reading
In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the koan, “What is this?”—a timeless inquiry into the origin of all things. Every creation, whether human, animal, or object, is complete in itself, yet all arise from the same origin: the mind, the metaphysical real substance. This mind is man’s true self, the mother of all existence, and the mysterious essence to which everything returns. By realizing th...

✨ About This Reading
In this illuminating teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the true meaning of the state of ‘no concepts and no ideas.’ It is not merely sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, but living without the false self, free from any attachment to thoughts or ideas.

✨ About This Reading
In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals that everything—humans, animals, plants, Earth, and even celestial bodies—ultimately returns to non-existence, the origin of the Universe. This non-existence is not empty nothingness but the original body that is insubstantial yet substantial, beyond form yet eternal. To practice dō is to awaken to this truth and return to our original self, which exists be...

✨ About This Reading
In this profound reflection, Master Woo Myung explains how Nam Sa-go, the author of Kyuk-Am-Yu-Rok, came to write his prophetic book. Although Nam Sa-go claimed the words were given by a god, Master Woo Myung reveals that God does not physically write books—rather, man himself is God, and God is man. True wisdom is not about attributing revelations to an external deity but realizing that heaven’s voice and t...

In this teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the timeless wisdom of the Chun-bu-kyung. At its heart lies the principle that heaven, earth, and man are one. This philosophy has been passed down for generations in Korea and was eventually recorded in writing during the ancient Bae-dal-guk and Dan-gun dynasties.

The Dan-gun dynasty endured for a long time because it was governed by this truth of unity with heaven...

✨ About This Reading
In this teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the profound meaning of nature’s flow. All things in the universe arise and change according to the great order of nature, not by human control or effort. When people resist this natural flow, they face conflict and suffering; when they live in harmony with it, life becomes like water—ever-flowing, free, and without obstruction. Just as water ultimately returns to ...
