Meditations of Master Woo Myung

The Path

A walker walks

and a runner runs.

There are many different paths that people take,

but people hurriedly travel their paths

ignorant of where they are headed.

I wish people knew

whether their paths and destinations

are the right ones.

If one can live a life free of judgment

as he travels his path,

he is without self.

Memories

Every person has memories.

Memories are what one remembers of the past.

Past memories become the roots of one’s mind,

and they form the present,

which is lived with this karma.

Karma is a form of past memories,

and their roots are deep.

One’s present life is lived

with the karma from his previous lives.

So in a way, his present life is his past lives.

How one lives now - his destiny -

is decided by his memories.

Past events ar...

Cosmos Flowers

Cosmos flowers, swaying in the breeze,

blossom by the roadside and are beautiful

even in the cold wind and frost.

Cosmos flowers, swaying in the breeze,

are both fragile and strong.

Flowers that bloom only under good conditions

are sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature

and wither easily.

The reason flowers are strong,

and the reason all creations are strong,

is they endure and withstand the harsh wind an...

Sailboat

The passing sailboat

may look peaceful, detached, and beautiful,

but it is not so for the sailboat.

Pushing through the blue waves,

with its white sails raised,

it is lonely.

When man rides a sailboat

and speaks of heaven, pretending to be detached,

it is also a type of loneliness.

What is loneliness?

It is what people do not know,

what they are ignorant of.

Being without any accompanying passengers

is also loneliness.
