Master Woo Myung World Beyond World – The Ordinary Mind Is the Way
The phrase, “The ordinary mind is the Way,” means that simply living as it is, is the Way. It means that always living with a constant mind is the Way. It is said that when a Buddhist monk is on his deathbed, the other monks ask him, “Are you of the same mind?” What they are asking is, “Although you are about to die, is your mind now the same as it was before?”
A truly ordinary mind is the Mind of God, which is the Universe, itself. It is the mind of the pure emptiness that exists as it is without discernment of what is or is not and of what is right or wrong; it is a mind, absent of life and death. This mind is one that does not change and remains as it is; it is the great Mind of the Universe, which is God. It is the mind of one who has returned to the Mind of God.
