Master Woo Myung Meditation Teaching – WHICH PLACE IS THE PLACE OF TRUTH?
While living in this world, there are cases where people insist that their particular religion is right and are therefore in conflict with each other. Even now, there are countries fighting over religion. Which place in this world has the true religion?
Religions have given the existence of Truth a name: in Christianity, they call it God; in Buddhism, they call it Buddha; in Islam, they call it Allah. Although the names are all different, without a doubt, they all seek and believe in Truth.
In each religious scripture, it says that God, Buddha, Allah, which are Truth, exist within the mind. It also says that Heaven, the Land of Bliss, Paradise are also within the mind. The place of Truth would be the place where one can become Truth. If one is to become Truth, he should discard the karma, habits, and body, which are one’s sins, and have God, Buddha, Allah, which are the entity of Truth, within his mind. One should also have Heaven, the Land of Bliss, Paradise within one’s mind. Only the place that does this would be the place of Truth.
In the place that is real, one either has Truth and the Land of Truth within oneself, or one would be in the process of repenting for one’s sins to go to that land. The place where they only talk about Truth, instead of actually going to the Land of Truth that exists within the mind, is not the real place. The place where you can find Truth within the mind is the real place. The place where you can find Truth and have it within you is the place of Truth.
