Teacher Woo Myung Poem – Acceptance Is The Greatest Thing Of All


Acceptance Is The Greatest Thing Of All

Acceptance is the greatest thing of all because
it means to embrace everything without discernment.
One embraces so that
one may be awakened of that which one has embraced.
Being awakened does not mean
to gain enlightenment by
discerning until one knows for sure
what is and what is not;
rather, it means to gain enlightenment despite such discernment;
it means to discern until one knows it for sure,
yet not be bound to one’s discernment;
it means to discern with the Mind that is absent of self.
Because this Mind embraces the narrow minds of others,
it is the Mind of great mercy and great benevolence;
it is the Mind of true, great heart.
According to Nature’s flow,
acceptance is the wisdom of life,
in which a life that follows this flow is
a life of acceptance.
Acceptance is perfect,
and so it belongs to nothing.
Yet it allows for everything to become one;
it allows us to live seeing things just as they are
so that though one may teach,
one does not belong to the teachings –
one just teaches,
one simply does it –
which is why it is acceptance.
– Woo Myung

Campbell Meditation Experience - Meditation Taught Me To Accept The World

  Campbell Meditation Experience – Meditation Taught Me To Accept The World Gadhi Asan – Campbell, CA Before I discovered this meditation, I really felt like I had reached the end of my rope. I felt like there was always a big, heavy stone in my chest and the pain was so bad that I wasn’t sleeping well. It was stress. I was barely living, carrying the everyday stress and difficulties of my life. Then, I found this meditation. At that time, I started this study sincerely with the intention of getting even a little relief. Even though I have never practiced meditation, this method, made by Woo Myung, was very simple and fun to do. One of the things about this study that I enjoyed was that I could look back on myself. Since I was a child, I had so much inferiority that I always hated losing to others. My tendency was to focus on winning whenever I competed with others. This made my life very lonely because I was always uncomfortable around other people. And other people were uncomfort...

Campbell Meditation Travel – La Jolla Beach of San Diego

Campbell Meditation – La Jolla Beach of San Diego The first beach I had ever visited when I came to San Diego was La Jolla beach. Even though I am not able to visit the place as often as I wish, I can still vividly remember how beautiful the sunset was from La Jolla beach. The beach is about 20-25 minutes away by car from San Diego downtown. If you are planning to go and visit La Jolla beach, you must not unsee the sunset. The sunset upon wide blue horizon was unforgettably beautiful. I reached the beach a few minutes prior to the sunset and took a walk along the shore. Soon enough I was watching the sky is dimming and the sun is hanging on the horizon- What a beautiful moment it was! In fact, you still can see the beautiful sunset and how the sky turns pink, from the downtown, however I strongly recommend watching a sunset at La Jolla Beach. Another “must-see” at this beach is seals and sea lions leisurely resting on the shore. Of course the odor and the noise can be sometimes ...

Teacher Woo Myung Poem – The Life You Lead

The Life You Lead If you were to ask me what this life is that you are living, I would tell you that there is no Truth in that life. If you were to tell me that the life you are leading is one of Truth, I would tell you that your burdens are heavy. If you were to tell me that the life you are leading is exciting, I would tell you that you are dreaming an exciting dream within a dream. If you were to tell me that the life you are leading is an exhausting one, I would tell you to let go of your useless greed. If you were to tell me that the life you are leading is nonsensical, I would tell you that there is no such thing as life or death. If you were to tell me that the life you are leading is wrong, I would tell you that it is because you have an attachment and greed for life. If you were to tell me that the life you are leading is savory, I w...
