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 uncomfortable

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

Campbell Meditation Column – Your Happiness Matters

Campbell Meditation Column – Your Happiness Matters People are born into the world, live their life and depart. On average, human’s life span is seventy to eighty years. People age and become old. That person eventually dies. It is said that there is no exception in death. Life has a definite end one day; it is the principle of the world that a human is born and dies one day, just like parting is “waiting” after meeting. Then, in this one precious life, ask yourself, “do you live a happy life now?” Some people might say that their life is too busy and tough to even answer such a question. However, this is indeed a very important question. There is a seventy-year-old old man in my neighborhood. That man told me with a somber face that he was a very good looking man when he was seventeen years old and he felt like it was only yesterday. He woke up today and had become a wrinkled old man with no energy. For him, his life passed by in the blink of an eye. If you live so busily n
