weather : amazing

While I was meditating today,

I realized why I am who I am right now.

Human mind is accumulation of pictures taken with

self-centered viewpoint through one's life.

Where human is living is inside of this picture world he made up.

This is how you are the person who you are now.

Do you know where I'm coming from?

If you are stuck in the picture world,

that's all you see.

You would never know the true world and that's why

there can't be a right solution.

There is no righteousness in the copied world.

It is not real, it is only a copy of it.

No matter how it feels like real,

picture is no more than a picture.

To be trapped in there,

I was blind basically.

You can't really think of another world otherwise than

what you have inside because

that's all you've got.

Now that I'm getting to know the true world,

on my way there,

I also getting to know how dark it is, the false world.

There is no meaning, I didn't know anything.

This chart is from Maum Meditation official website

With the simple method of subtraction in Maum Meditation,

I can get out of that false world.

I hope you could join me.

This world is beautiful,

is already enlightened.

It is only human who turned back on the true world

thus suffered out of things which do not exist.

I think it's beautiful. :)

A Korean student at the Maum Meditation center 

translated this article on Maum Monthly for me. 

thank you :)  

Looking in a mirror Steve Jobs asked himself every morning for more than 30 years
the question "If today were the last day of my life, would I wanna do what I am about to do today?"
...............
"Your time is limited. So don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trap by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drowned out your own inner voice. And the most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."

Money, degrees, beauty, career, the perfect wedding...

What we are seeking tend to gratify the outside factors rather than inner joy.



What do I really want? Most people are lost in regrets for past, discontent in present, worrying about future.
They can't even answer to what they really want.
If I have encountered a rude worker in the convenience store this morning,
what she said is still bothering all day even though those words do not exist now.
A psychiatrist named Warren said that normal people speak to themselves with 1,300 words per minute speed.
People are living in their mind worlds being swayed by thoughts which constantly come up.
To listen to the inner voice, heart, you first have to clear those thoughts which never stop speaking to itself.


Take your time to think about the moment when you felt the happiest.
When I was surrounded by great nature, when I look at the baby, when I finished the hard task,
when I helped someone without any price.
People usually think that being well-off is a good life, but that happiness doesn't last.
Money, career and so on. Even though I achieved my goal, that excitement lasts shortly
and I get back to struggle to keep what I've got.
Paradoxically, when I let things go, I feel fullness.
If you want to find a real life, you have to keep practice to get out of stereotyped mind of my own
which is myself.

Nature, namely this world, provides us with oxygen, water, and all that we need, yet it has no mind of having given us these things. True love and affection is when, like nature, one lives for the people of the world without the mind that he does so. It is when one lives with the mind of nature. True love and affection is to give without expectations, just as the world, as nature, gives.

 Woo Myung, 2012

From one of the books I'm reading lately-I read several books at the same time in turn, but
this book will definitely be always on the list that I keep while I changed from some books to another-,
I found what true love could be.
There it is. Without mind. Without expectations. Gives.



So how can one love another without mind?
Throw away false human mind. Maum Meditation has the key.

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now

Is hung with bloom along the bough.
