Where Do We Go When We Die? In the world, there is the true world and the false world. From the true world, it is possible to know the ways of the world and where people go when they die. People are trapped in the false world – their mind world – and they know nothing for they are all dead. All scriptures spoke of the true world. The Ma Eum Soo Ryun teaches how to destroy the false world and live forever, reborn in the true world. A person who is born in the true world while living – human completion – will live forever while a person who dwells in the false world will die.

My Song The years pass. Though one may come to know ‘d? (Truth),’ he is a wretched being if he still has any of his human mind left. No one seems to know what I have come to this world to do and the things I have done. Amidst this ignorance, people are unable to let go of the useless delusions of this world. As I look upon such wretched people, a sense of futility digs into my Mind. But I sing without having any thoughts in my Mind. It seems to be my fate to teach man that the countless stories he has in this world are all meaningless. Thus I do the work of the Universe absent of mind. There are only wretched minds in this world, no one here seems to understand my purpose. People are ignorant of the fact that the age in which man deems himself superior, inferior, or singular in his importance – the age of polarity – has ended and that a new age of reconciliation is coming. Indeed it is regrettable that people still cling to their old habits from the previous age. What they must realize is that in order to... View Article

Agony Agony is the product of human life. It is when man tries to achieve something then fails that this becomes his agony. Agony is the output of man’s unfulfilled greed. The countless experiences of man’s life are his agonies and joys, but they are mere emotions that he has. Stemming from his karma and habits, emotions are the experiences he has come to have of his own accord. When seen from outside the forest, one will be able to see that no one else but himself has agonies; that one’s thoughts create one’s agonies.

As Naked As The Day You Came Where have you come from and where will you go? Do you have sadness? Do you have kleshas? If so what? Are they kleshas of knowledge? Are they kleshas of meetings and farewells? Are they kleshas of death? Are they kleshas of birth, sickness, and old age? Whatever sadness or worries you may have they are all your meaningless delusions, which have been born of your impure discernment. Thus if you were to abandon all of your attachments you would be free from your sadness. In society today, a person’s worth is determined by his state of wealth and rank, and people believe that such things enrich their beings which are nothing more than empty shells. But man is an existence that departs as naked as the day he arrived. Do you not go alone just as you have come alone? Once you find yourself, you will come to know that you have come from nowhere and will go nowhere; once you truly realize that you are bound to your sadness, kleshas, and delusions and are thus not really alive, you will become Buddha. Kleshas, along with all the delusions you see, are... View Article

The Sound of Wind Chimes The wind chimes of Heaven ring leisurely, but people do not know this and so they look to the sky and sigh. Listen! Listen! I say to you all that life in Heaven does not exist separately from life on earth. What is truly valuable is the life you live on the earth with each others’ love. People are bound to their bodies, and so they childishly think that the lives they are living are everything. However the place where everyone has come from is the Universe; its Body is all of you and so all of you are one and the same. Since you live your own lives in the world ? a world where the distinction between ‘you’ and ‘me’ exists but love does not and since your lives are not of the will of Heaven, man, and earth, what you are doing is seeking to do nothing more than satisfy your meaningless attachments. A life that is of nature’s flow is not a life that is lived only for oneself; nature’s flow is about living together.

Worldly preconceptions teach us that the Truth is something that is eternal and never-changing. I, too, teach that the Truth is eternal, never-changing and alive. I also teach what worldly-preconceptions do not – what the existence of the Truth is. It is the place before all material forms were created; in other words, the Truth is the emptiness that remains when you take away everything in the sky that is the Universe – the stars, the sun, the moon and the earth and even all material substances from the air. The Truth, the emptiness, is an existence that is alive; it existed before the beginning, exists now, and will continue to exist for all eternity. This existence is the origin of the Truth. Everything that exists in the world appeared from this place of non-existence. Since all creations came from this existence, they are this existence regardless of whether they exist. This existence always just exists, but man cannot see or know this existence that is the origin and the source, because it does not exist in his mind. The human mind is a mind that takes pictures of the world. The sky or the Universe inside a picture is... View Article

Words given in Switzerland during European Tour There is a Korean idiom that states, “Things occur according to what one has added to the mind.” This means that a person lives his life based on what he has in his mind. As a person lives, he adds life experiences to his mind; and that is what was taken into his mind. The mind is formed through whatever one experienced; in other words, one’s lived life. There are 6 billion people in this world and they all have different minds, because they lived in different environments. We live as our minds dictate, thinking our minds are true. When I think with my mind that I have to meet someone, this moves my body. That mind moves a person. When I think in my mind, I have to go to bathroom, the body moves; the mind is the owner. All people live according to their minds and live as much as those minds; they live based on what were added to their minds. The people in the world live according to their minds; the way they live is the expression of their minds. This is a human being’s life, which is a... View Article
