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 would tell you that

you have almost reached the true world.

If you were to tell me that

you are terrified of the life you are leading,

I would tell you that you are living well.

If you were to tell me that

the life you are leading is full of pain,

I would tell you to get rid of your self.

If you were to tell me that

you are leading a happy life,

I would tell you that it is nothing more than dust.

If you were to ask me how to live well,

I would tell you that

you must completely be rid of your self.

If you were to ask me what a life of Truth is,

I would tell you that a life that is alive is Truth,

that it is the life Truth lives.

If you were to ask me

to make the life you are leading into that of Truth,

I would tell you that I have the key.

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 Column – How to live well

Campbell Meditation Column – How to live well Such words as ‘stress’ and ‘depression’ are overused these days. Everyone seems to live with unsolved questions of life and a void that can never be filled no matter how much you try to fill it. There is nowhere you can truly rest; loneliness chases you everywhere and people endlessly search for and obtain something to fill up and soothe the mind. What everyone pursues will eventually be never-changing happiness. It would be truly resting without any worries even for a moment… Happiness – true rest – really sounds like an unreachable goal that is difficult for us who are living in this generation. Can I ever become happy? Can I really live well? Within the endless burden and pain of the mind, it might be fearful and dreadful to live every day. The moment a day ends, you sigh that you have endured a day. The moment a new morning starts, you might barely open your heavy eyes and be at a loss about how you can endure today. Joy happe...
