Today, people live in a golden materialistic generation with a sole purpose of having money to eat and live; we study and work our whole lives, living in stress. When we start to feel futility of it and start to look back on our lives, we realize that we are near the death’s door; and we can’t deny that such is our lives. As I read this book, I had an opportunity to self-reflect on “who am I?” and “where do we come from and why do we live?” By understanding the meaning of a human completion and recovery of the origin of human being, I now seem to have found the direction to follow as a teacher.

This book suggests the reason for living and the direction of how a human being should live. I understand that, as we have heard from our elders, we live in the world with wisdom, not knowledge. It’s a good book to help understand and dispel unclear inquiries and questions about the world.

Initially it was a bit difficult, but as I continued to read more, my mind is at ease and it seemed like the questions I had about life were getting solved. Why do I live was my life’s question and this was solved naturally. It feels like I found the method I couldn’t find in other books. Before sleeping and upon awakening I read this book and every time I read, I find more insights and enlightenments. I do not understand all of its meanings yet, but I want to continue to read and also experience the meditation. I would like to recommend to those with concerns such as why do we live.

I was always curious about life. I had so many questions but I couldn’t find the answers to them. Such as where do we come from and where do we go after we die? I wanted to know what was everlasting. People told me “It’s everlasting” but I never knew what that “it” was and I wanted to find out. This book had all the answers to my questions and I was really shocked. People told me to get rid of my bad memories, bad thoughts, and stress but didn’t explain how. All they told me to do was to forget about it. The more I read, page by page, this book changed my perspective of the world in a positive way. The author illustrated the book so simply anyone can read it and would understand easily.

I always wanted to know who I was and what the purpose of my life was. I had been searching for answers to these quesitons everywhere. I had been reading lots of spritual books and practising different kinds of meditation but they didn’t give me any full answer to my quesitons. They gave me a temporary relief from my stressful daily life but they didn’t last very long as they didn’t guide me any nearer to the answers. When I read this book, I felt relieved to know that I was trapped in the false world that I had created. It gave me a totally different understanding of myself. I felt very refreshed to know that all my burdens and stress didn’t really exist in the true world. Why should I regret so much about the past and worry so much about the future that doesn’t exist? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live in the true world with lots of happiness? I would like to thank the author for the new insight. I can’t wait to find more about the methods to live in the true world at the local meditation centre.

This book suggests the reasons and the ways to live. I am able to understand the elders saying that to live the world is not by the knowledge but by the wisdom. Through this book many curious things and unclear questions were solved and understood.

Woo Myung shows the reader how to find inner peace and joy. Finally a method is given on how to be free of conflict we have accumulated throughout our lives. Would definitely recommend. This book is the key to set ourselves free.

After a deep depression and traumatic events that occurred about a year ago, I began to question the meaning of my existence. I didn’t understand why I live or what happens to me after I die, and without an answer to these questions I felt that I had no direction for what to do in my life. And as a college student, this made me feel completely trapped. I began reading books about spirituality and listening to various spiritual leaders. Although I had some brief flashes of hope and peace, many of my questions remained unanswered. After reading this book and practicing meditation, I now finally understand all this time I have been searching for Truth, and Woo Myung writes about it with indescribable energy and power. For anyone who considers themselves a spiritual seeker, or simply one looking for answers to these types of questions, I would highly recommend this book. This is a book I will read time and time again, it’s like nothing I have ever read before.
