Master Woo Myung Truth Verses – The Padma Garbha Loka Dhatu, the Tathagata-Garbha World, and the Real World
The padma garbha loka dhatu,
the tathagata-garbha world,
and the real world –
all of these are the names of Buddha’s realm.
This world is already enlightened,
and all creations are already Buddha.
But instead of seeing or hearing this Land of Buddha
for what it is
man does so with his own delusions,
which is why he is unable to enter into that Land.
Thus he will not have entered into it even after death
and will live as a delusion in his own delusional world –
his hell and his samsāra.
That this world is already enlightened means
it is already complete and perfect.
But in order to know this world and enter into it,
man must discard his karma and habits completely
as well as be born again as Buddha.
When seen from Buddha’s point of view,
one is already enlightened and is thus Buddha.
But because his mind is unclean,
he does not know he is enlightened and is thus dead.
Once he cleanses this mind,
he will become complete.
Once he cleanses this mind and becomes Buddha,
who is the Most Infinite,
he will never die
and he will be able to understand the living realm of Buddha.
