Master Woo Myung Songs Lyrics and Verses – Seon-Bang Dam-Hwa
‘Seon-bang (禪房)’ is a place people go to
in order to find their original nature –
to find Truth.
They meditate by staring into a small dot.
They meditate with their minds.
Meditation is a battle with one’s self;
it is liberation from one’s secrets.
At the seon-bang,
people focus on emptying their minds.
That they empty their minds means
they eliminate what they have within.
To eliminate means
to return to the original foundation.
Thus they abandon over and over again
the thoughts they have stored within.
Listen all of you!
You must learn Nature’s flow as you live in this world –
you must learn to abandon.
Nature’s flow is non-existence.
Nature’s flow is oneness.
Nature’s flow is the existence of all things
amidst non-existence.
You must learn that to empty is to fill.
You must learn to live with your eyes open wide.
At the seon-bang,
people exchange ‘dam-hwa (stories)’
that are absent of their minds –
stories that are Truth.
They also talk to each other about the lives they lead.
Listen all of you!
Listen to the dam-hwa of Truth that I tell you.
Listen to them again and again,
as I tell them to you forgetful of the time.
People speak of a godly life,
but it is only when they speak absent of their minds
that they are able to all become one.
Even the drifting clouds hear my stories.
Even the passing winds hear my words.
When all creations become Truth,
when all creations are joyous,
then the images of every creation in the universe
are as they should be.
The ideal world that people wish for resides in
the dam-hwa at the seon-bang.
