Master Woo Myung Teaching – Those Who Are Unable to Complete the Meditation
In the early days of teaching Truth, I have seen many people who wanted to achieve Truth in order to become a superior version of themselves.
The path to becoming a saint is truly a long one. It is not easy to become a Buddha; it is not easy to become Truth.
Because man lives inside his mind, his own mind world, he needs to discard both his mind world and his self for Truth to emerge. When only Truth remains, he will become Truth. But this is difficult and many people give up along the way because instead of throwing away their selves and mind worlds, their false selves try to achieve Truth.
The reason one’s self cannot achieve Truth no matter how much he desires it is falseness cannot achieve Truth however much it tries. Even if falseness does achieve Truth, it is still false.
If one is thankful to the method that allows him to completely discard his self and if he actually does throw away his false self and false world, he can be born in the land of Truth and become Truth.
Until now, we have only added to our minds while living in the world. It has always been this way, since we were young: in school and then in society, within the system and with its preconceptions we lived adding more and more to our minds. In the future, as we keep discarding and discarding again our false minds and bodies we will be reborn as the existence of God who is Truth. When this happens, man will be able to live righteously.
The meditation is about discarding one’s mind world and self. When one’s mind world and self does not exist, only the Universe remains. Man will be complete when he is resurrected as the body and mind of the Universe, which is Truth and complete.
People have many sins and karma. Casting off all of one’s karma and sins is the method to achieve Truth.
Those whose false selves try to achieve Truth will fail while those who recognize that their selves are ultimately useless and cast it off will be able to achieve Truth. The Bible tells us to deny our selves and follow Christ. It tells us that those who try to die will live whereas those who try to live will die. The Buddhist scriptures also tell us the way to completion is death and that the true world exists only when you die without anything remaining. Both of these scriptures are telling us that when one discards his false self, he will be reborn as Truth.
Those who were unable to complete this meditation could not achieve Truth because they tried to achieve it with their false selves.
