Episode 1. A Tale Of A King Of China
There was a king of China in history. The king had everything. He owned 5 castles and more than 80 wives. He had already owned everything since he was born. He had nothing to be jealous about as he conquered many other areas. Even for him, time passed by and he became 80 years old. He became sick. As his health deteriorated even more, he asked a favor to his most trustworthy servant. “I have enjoyed everything in the world but humans eventually grow old and die. I no longer need my kingdom, wives and wealth. If anyone can give me eternal life, I will give everything I have in return. Send out leaflets throughout the country.”
The leaflets are sent out around the country and the king waited for 3~4 years. No one turned out for the eternal life. His health deteriorated and eventually passed away.
Even a person who has everything in the world becomes sick and dies. Humans eventually vanish, so the most important thing in our life must be everlasting life. Even the king who had everything said that he could exchange what he owned for everlasting life.
Excerpt from the teacher Woo Myung’s book:
Wanderer
Wanderer, do not wander about
Without knowing where to go
Find your way and find your resting place
Know that the place to rest is not outside but inside you
Even if the whole universe disappears
The eternal resting place remains as it is and is alive
If you want to know this
Cleanse yourself and be reborn in the kingdom of Truth
This kingdom is the land of the Creator
Only this land is the land of Truth
Where there is eternal life.
Stop your wandering
Repent and be reborn as Truth
Then you will know the ways of the world
But man seeks such wisdom
Outside himself and thus cannot achieve it
Look within yourself
