Santa Clara Meditation Column – What is the origin of religion?
Religion is where they talk about the existence of the original foundation which is the place where all creations in this world came from and is the origin of religion. That existence is the existence of the spirit and soul which is the body and mind of the universe that is the true existence.
This existence is the existence of the Holy Father and the Holy Spirit in Christianity, the existence of Dharmakaya and Sambhogakaya in Buddhism, and Jung and Shin in the religion of Haneolnim. They merely talked about this existence and didn’t have this existence within their minds, so there’s only an abstract and conceptual God, Buddha, Allah, and Haneolnim. Such existence only exists in illusion and one can never know the existence of the Truth which is God, Buddha, Allah, and Haneolnim even if one seeks for it for all eternity. One can only know something when one has it in one’s mind. Only the one who has it within oneself will have God, Buddha, Allah, and Haneolnim, and also the true world. The origin of religion is the Truth, and the Truth is God, Buddha, Allah, and Haneolnim. Now, you can only know the origin of religion when this existence exists within you.
