Woo Myung's Teaching_To The People Who Hate Me

                    To The People Who Hate Me

http://kimberlytaylorimages.com/thank-you/

How do you react when someone throws hatred at you? 

Sometimes, you would flip back right away or, you would just hold into yourself

and try to "endure"-but more like repress how you really feel from inside hoping that either reaction might make me move on faster.

But how about changing our viewpoint completely upside down?: From being frustrated to rather being grateful even for the people who hate me for giving me the opportunity to introspect my own hatred within and eventually helping me to let it go. Wouldn't this be a true compassion upon everyone no matter who they are, what they do?

Here is the poem by Teacher Woo Myung which will heal your heart whenever you feel anger, sadness, and bitterness especially through relationships with people.

To the People Who Hate Me

To the people who hate me

Thank you for teaching me

That I have hatred in my mind

To my enemies

Thank you for teaching me

That I have enemies remaining in my mind

To those who scold me, to those who nag me

Thank you for teaching me

That I have scolding and nagging in my mind

When I see faults in others

I will know that those faults are in me

and be thankful

When I have discomfort in my mind because of this thing or that thing

I am thankful for that mind

Teacher Woo Myung's Writing_ Arirang

CROSSING THE ARIRYEUNG 아리령

http://blog.naver.com/mysun1201/169375788

Woo Myung's clear definition of "arirang"

 "Arirang" (아리랑) is a Korean folk song that is sometimes considered the unofficial national anthem of Korea. (Reference-Wikipedia). It is being sung and played from all over the world since this beautiful melody has an mysterious power of touching and healing our heart deeply.

 As there are numerous variations according to the different provinces, several controversy arose regarding its origin, and what "Arirang" really means. One of the most supported theory is this song is a love song for the one who just underwent parting with the loved one but Teacher Woo Myung made it clear that this beautiful song is originated from the journey of finding Trueself actually. "Arirang" is equivalent to "Ariryeung" in this excerpt below.

‘Ariryeung,’ which appears in a popular Korean folk song, refers to the name of a crest of a mountain. Finding our true self is like crossing the crest. People think that in order to find something there must be an actual place for us to search. When we say crossing over the crest in order to find our true selves, it means that we must find the God or Buddha within us.

Only those who have freed themselves of their own delusions and demons are able to cross the summit. Only those why no longer have their own selves can gain their true selves.

   

‘Ariryeung’ is an old Korean folk song with the lyrics: “My lover who abandons me will not get far because his feet hurt so bad.” The verse means that one who abandons his true self no longer has a path to take.

He who has abandoned this true self does not have new life and lives in his own delusional thoughts. This is death. The verse mentioned above is the same as one written in the Buddhist sutras: “Let’s go! Let’s make haste and go! Over that hill we go!” Furthermore, even the Christian Bible indicates that we will meet after having crossed the River Jordan.

Woo Myung's Writing: How To Treat Others

© All Rights Reserved by Flickr member D. Sharon PruittAdd caption

Here is the clear guidance by Teacher Woo Myung how to treat others and reasons why we are going through hardships in our lives:

Where do we confront the difficulties the most in our lives?
There are many factors which I encounter frustration but among all, failure of "good" relationships with the people you care about and having to experiencing that relationship just falls apart before your eyes can be truly hurtful. After the turmoil, we tell ourselves that we won't make that mistake again and we will treat others better, more whole-heartily. But, how?



When dealing with another,

do so with the absence of your mind.

When you do this,

that person will feel at utmost ease.

When you do this,

you will become one with that person.

When you become one with him,

he will listen to your words,

which are free of mind.

Love, compassion, and benevolence

confine the mind of another,

for they are all attachments;

they are undesirable,

for they cause you to create karma

which is what gives birth to the human mind.

If a person attempts to do you harm out of greed

avoid him,

but do so absent of the thought that you are doing it.

This means that no impressions will be left in his mind

and neither will any be left in yours.

If a conflict occurs between you and another due to his greed,

stand by his side and agree absent of mind;

pretend that you too are greedy

and then slip out later.

This means that so long as you do not become immersed in his way of thinking,

that mind of greediness will be his

while you will remain as you are.

Why do we undergo trials in life?

We undergo them because of our own karmas.

If you were to ask me how you can overcome

the trials you are experiencing due to your karmic ties,

I would tell that

you must not afford your mind to those trials,

or in other words that

the trials do not exist unless you are present in them.

Teacher Woo Myung's Great Insight: Among The Ordinary There Is The Extraordinary

In this modern society people consider being special or supreme are the extraordinary people and put them on the highest on pedestal. But Teacher Woo Myung states the extraordinary people are the one who has great mercy and great love who can embrace and accept everyone and live harmoniously among the world. In other words, the extraordinary people are the ones who are born in the true world and of human completion. 

Let's let go of all of our useless thoughts and desires to be special in the mind world that we made. Even if you reached the goal, it is still in your dream, your false reality. According to the pessage of time, these goals will be diluted and eventually disappear in vain. Instead, let's strive for the true goal: Finding Trueself and living as the mind of the great universe!

Among the ordinary there is the extraordinary Just as there are no trees
In places that are too high
People who believe they are the greatest
Are like high mountains where trees cannot grow
For they have no one around them
One who has a large open mind without self
Can accept everything
One who is Truth without self
Achieves ultimate love and intimacy with people
He loves all
Has great mercy and compassion
And treats others with great love
With that great loveAnd without even the mind of having done so, he saves people
Accepting everything with the original mind
Without discernment or judgment
Everything lives within him
Among the ordinary there is the extraordinary
A distinguished person thinks only he is excellent and supreme
But the ordinary person can accept everything
With the greatest mind
And lives
With the extraordinary and remarkable wisdom of the Creator
He who lives in harmony
With the people in the world
With true love
Is the extraordinary one
But no one knows this man is extraordinary
One who enjoys being exalted
Cannot live in harmony for only he is excellent
He is the foolish one
For he lives with his own standards of
What is good and what is bad
An extraordinary person is one who is reborn as Truth
A foolish person is one who is not reborn as Truth
To live well means to be reborn as Truth and to live as Truth
To live poorly means to die
All is one
He who is liked by everyone
He who has no thorns, no ill will, in his mind
He who sees everything as it is
He who sees others just as they are even with all their faults
And he who has no mind of his self
Is the extraordinary one
 Among the ordinary is the extraordinaryThe ordinary is
The greatest, the most distinguished, and sublime perfectionBut no one knows this
For there is no one who is truly ordinary
One who is ordinary can accept everything
For he has a large, open mind

The Poem Of Youth That Has Passed_By Woo Myung

This is one of my favorite writing of Teacher Woo Myung.

Whenever he mentions about our how he dedicated his life and his own determination to
wake up this entire human race to the true world,
I can truly resonate with Teacher Woo Myung's compassion for people to become one with their true nature.
Well let me just cut the chase and share this heart-warming writing.

Silently, my youth disappeared
With the years that passed without a word,
And my body is different from the days of its youth.
My life was spent in futile busy activities,
But it became more and more meaningless.
Everything that I achieved and wanted to achieve
Was in vain and empty.It was the life in a time when man could not become complete
And it was the time of a dream,In which I had resentment and grudges.
After waking from the dream, I found it such a relief,
That all I wanted to have and achieve were not fulfilled.In the dream, without once waking,
I lived wandering and wandering the dream world
Without a day’s rest from my scripted dream.
If there are any regrets about the years that have passed,
It is that I did not wake sooner from the dream
To do the work of the awakened world. It was only when I awoke from the dream
That I was able to know everything in the dream
Were all false things and falsely done.

The law of the world is that all material things in existence
Disappear with the years; this is nature’s law, Truth.
But I was only able to know this when I woke from the dream.
All desires and bitterness exist inside the dream.While I was in the dream
I was filled with bitterness and I had many desires But it is a relief among reliefs,
That I was not able to fulfill those desires
Or resolve my bitterness. Perhaps that is why I easily awoke from the dream. 

Who is the great man and who is the fool?
Only in the dream are there great men and fools.
Outside the dream, everybody is one and lives in freedom.
I have no regrets for my youth that has gone;
Without complaining that the time remaining is too short
And then silently leave this body behind,
But in the world where I worked for -The world of the Soul and Spirit -
Many people will be saved and my land will prosper;
And I will be waiting,For the people who will live forever with me.

Teacher Woo Myung's Writing_ Enlightenment

Teacher Woo Myung's Writing: Enlightenment, p20 from
<Stop Living In This Land Go To The Everlasting World Of Happiness Live There Forever>


In the world there are falseness and Truth. Man's mind that lives copying what belongs to the world is false, and the world is true. Man is not one with the mind of the world; instead he lives in an overlapping copy of it. In any case, it is a certain fact that he lives in his own mind world. He comes to know Truth to the extent that the mind of the world enters his, and this is enlightenment.

Man's mind is made up of illusionary pictures. Consequently, when he throws away these pictures Truth will enter into his mind, and he will know Truth to the extent of what he has discarded. This is enlightenment.

Only when one repents, can one gain enlightenment and go to the place of Truth. It is the same principle as washing dirty clothes - the more you clean the dirt away, the more it goes back to its original state. A piece of paper, which has been scribbled on, gets cleaner the more the scribbling is erased. Enlightenment is the same as knowing the true state of the paper once it is clean.

Teacher Woo Myung's Writing_Idealism

Idealism
(p75 from Stop Living In This Land Go To The Everlasting World Of Happiness Live There Forever)

Idealism is Truth itself: the state of completeness. To be ideal is to become Truth; it is when all of one's thoughts and actions are oriented towards Truth. Therefore, an ideal life is when one is born as Truth and lives as Truth. The reason idealism has not been realized in religion, even though they aim towards it, is they do not have the method to get to the state of idealism.

Therefore, they only talk of what is ideal through scriptures, and are unable to reach the ideal world. There are tens of thousands of different religious sects because the scriptures have been interpreted by those who have not gone to the ideal world and human thoughts have become the scriptures.

True idealism is reaching the ideal world, and being reborn in the ideal world itself. Then, such a world will be realized. The way to realize this is to ignore and eliminate one's false self. The origin exists when the false self is gone. When he is then reborn in the mind of the origin, this is the ideal world. Imagine for a moment that you had never been born - the world still exists.

Even if the stars, the moon, the Earth and everything on Earth had not been born, the empty sky that is the emptiness still exists. This is the origin, the source, God and the Creator. When one returns to the mind of this existence itself, and is reborn here as the substance of the empty sky, this place is heaven; it is the ideal world. Idealism is the thoughts, actions, and life of a person who has gone to this world. When the realization of idealism becomes possible, it will become an ideal world.

The true ideal world is when the world becomes one mind, when without separation between you and me, the the world lives as one.
