What Are Blessings?






What Are Blessings?




People want to have many blessings. 

Some lament that they do not have luck with acquaintances; others lament their unluckiness in finances. 

Some desire good fortune for their children. 

They ask endlessly for blessings; they want to be wealthy, they want good food and good clothes, they want to have children and hope to meet a good life partner, they want to be healthy, they want to study well and go to a good school and have a good job. 

Their desires are endless. 

They ask for blessings rough prayer, from fortune teller, or from other beings.



There is a Korean saying that everything turns out according to one's mind. 

This means that people live only according to what they have in their minds and that their behaviors are determined by what they have in their minds. 

For example, if they learned medical science in school, they will come out into society and make a living out of the knowledge they have. 

If they learned law in school, they will work in the field of law. 

They will work with computers if they learned about computers. 

Likewise, how we live now is the reflection of our minds. 

If we have diligence in our minds, we will live prosperously by working very hard, while if we have laziness in our minds, then we will live in poverty for we are lazy.



Let me assume that there are two people who do the same work. 

While one adapts to the minds of others, the other does not. 

A person who is able to adapt to others would be more successful in the job than one who is rigid and inflexible to the minds of others. 

If you do not have good scholastic abilities, you cannot go to a good school. 

Similarly, you cannot get money no matter how much you pray for it. 

Instead, you must work diligently to earn money. 

It is obvious that results will come about only when one works hard.



Taking action and the way we treat people - all come from the mind. 

Wisdom also comes from the mind. 

You will have results the moment you take action. 

Only when you have blessings will you live well and be happy.



Only when people have blessings in their minds, will they be blessed. 

But because people do not have blessings in their minds, they do not have it. 

People's minds are self-centered, so there cannot be any blessings in their minds. 

In such a mind, no matter how hard one tries, there will be no blessings. 

Such minds are full of false delusions. 

When a person cleanses his false, self-centered mind and there is no existence his self, and when he has the widest, biggest, highest, and Iowest mind, which is Truth, everything in the world will turn out well as he is blessed. 

When there are no conflicts, hindrances, discrimination, or judgment, when people accept everything, then blessings will follow. 

When they have a big enough mind to put everything in, this means that they are the Messing itself and that they have no self; then blessings will follow. 

Whatever they do would be a blessing itself because there is no self. 

Then everything will be accomplished.



The greatest blessing in the world is to have the blessing of heaven. 

The blessings of heaven are to become Truth and to live forever in the kingdom of Truth.

When you have the blessings of heaven you cannot help but live well because you manage your life wisely and act with wisdom. 

You will live with all the blessings of the world. 

This is the same for all people when they live in this world, for one who is pessimistic with a narrow mind cannot be successful while one who has a big accepting mind, the mind of Truth's blessings, is optimistic. 

When you are optimistic you can put your ideas into action and when there is action then results will follow. 

And thus you will have blessings. 

If you want to be blessed, you must cleanse your mind; you must get out of your passive, narrow conceptions and behaviors and change your mind into the biggest mind. 

When you do this, everything in the world will be a blessing. 

You can receive the blessings you wish for when there are true actions.



You will live just as much as you have in your mind, and live no more no less in that frame of mind. 

But your destiny can completely change when you are reborn; you can accomplish your will. 

To accomplish this, you must have a mind that is big enough to accept it. 

And your mind will be big enough once you have cleansed it.

One Who Is Accomplished






One Who Is Accomplished




He who is accomplished
Is one who has reached human completion.

He who is accomplished
Is one who has become Truth.

He who is accomplished is one who has become 
The forever-living, never-dying soul and spirit.

Knowing everything means 
To be reborn in the kingdom of Truth 
And to live the life of Truth 
This is to know everything.



Human completion is 
To be reborn as Truth and 
To live in the kingdom of Truth.

He who has reached human completion is 
one who is complete.

He who is complete while living.

He who is reborn in the eternal heaven while living
Will live in that kingdom even after his body dies.

Wisdom - The Mind is one






Wisdom





The Mind is one.
The Mind is everything.

Everything exists in the Mind,
and everything is the Mind.

The mind that has always been absent of attachments
is the one Mind.

When that Mind stirs
countless different minds arise therein.

Such are manifestations of the Mind.

And it is from within man's mind
that those manifestations arise and disappear;
man's thoughts are what become his numerous minds
with which he creates numerous things.

But when seen from the perspective of 
the non-existent Mind
nothing in the world exists.



Man is lost and knows not where he goes, 
for he is bound to the life he lives.

Man's mind is one,
but the reason he does not know this is because
his eyes have their limits 
and because he has his self.

If he were without his self, there would be nothing: 
if his self were to exist, everything would exist. 

Man does not know the reason for why 
having one's self is unrighteous.

What he knows is nothing more than his attachments. 
Thus he does not understand the logic of Truth 
nor its will.



No one can teach you how to understand 
the will of Truth,
not even a saint.

They cannot teach you how to become a saint, 
for they have no wisdom.

To have wisdom means to have no attachments, 
and in order to have no attachments
you must eliminate the memory of your thoughts, 
which are the entirety of the mind you have.



Man lives believing that he is his self, 
but this idea that he has of himself 
is nothing more than the memory he has of living; 
he has created a thought-mass of himself 
and with it, he lives his life.

It has become his self- 
his karma and his habits - 
whereby the life he lives has become his self. 

The life one lives is his karma, 
and this karma is what continues to shape his life.



What is life?
It is the outcome of the mind one has.

In other words
it is the whole of what one remembers.

All the things that are in his memory are 
the attachments of his life, 
which in turn are his karma and habits 
as well as his human mind.



This human mind is made up of 
all the things he remembers and the life he has lived. 

If you were to live without thoughts - 
if you were to live completely absent of them - 
you would live without any hindrances, 
nor would you get caught up in anything.



Listen and etch it deeply in your hearts when I say 
that your human mind is none other than 
the things you have come to store in your memory.

Who can teach Truth?







Who can teach Truth? 




We can only offer as much as we are capable of offering, 
just as we can only teach as much as 
we are capable of teaching.

 
The Sorim Buddhist Temple in China 
teaches the Sorim's martial art. 

There was a person who could breathe fire from 
his mouth, one could go to him and learn his skill. 

Likewise, if there was a person who could fly, 
one could go to him and learn to fly. 


If there was an all-knowing wise man, 
one could go to him in order to learn his wisdom. 


When a person comes to this meditation, 
he can become the Truth 
by learning how to cleanse his mind. 


This meditation can offer the Truth
because it has the Truth;
it can teach the Truth because it has the Truth. 


Therefore, it is natural that only a person who 
is the Truth himself can teach the way to the Truth. 


Saints who have come and gone from 
this world leave behind their teachings. 

Jesus left his words of Truth through the Bible 
while Buddha left his in the Sutras. 

Just as an English teacher teaches English, 
a Korean teacher teaches Korean, 
and a teacher of Truth teaches the Truth, 
everyone can teach only as much as he is capable of. 


If till now, there had been people who were Truth, 
then there should be a method on how to become Truth. 


It is likely that the reason why there has not been 
a method to become Truth until now, 
is because there was no one who had become Truth. 


There are so many people in this world who 
consider themselves an enlightened person. 


People assumed that there were many 
who had become Truth in the past. 


However, the question is 
"How much they had been enlightened?"
and "What had they realized through enlightenment?"


A true enlightened person is one whose state is that 
of the universe before the universe, the eternal Truth. 


An enlightened person can help man 
to get there by a way which he had done so. 


Those who study this meditation find the true mind, 
because this meditation has the true mind.

The end of the world








The end of the world 



People often think that during the end times, 
"The end of the world" will occur through infectious
diseases, starvation, earthquakes, and wars.


However, these have always existed 
since humankind started living on the earth. 


These things will not cause the end of the world. 


The end of the world is a new age 
when those whose minds, whose consciousness, 
have become one with the infinite universe will live, 
while those who have not, will die. 


Those whose minds have changed 
to the mind of the Universe will live forever 
in the land of Truth, 
but those who are trapped inside
their delusions are dead 
because their delusions are false; 
like a dream, 
they do not exist though they may seem to exist.


A person with a pure mind will know that the true way 
is to cleanse his mind and become Truth. 


However, a person with a dark mind 
will not know that at this time of the world's end,
cleansing his mind will decide whether he lives or dies. 


He will not know because such a person 
is self-oriented and greedy, 
concerned only with his current life
such as acquiring more possessions 
or bettering his circumstances. 


If one lives with a mind full of attachments, 
he dies within those attachments.


A person who is free from the mind of attachments 
and becomes the Energy and Light of the great Universe 
Truth itself does not die 
because he is Energy and Light. 


The end of the world exists for all those 
whose consciousness have not been born as Truth. 


When there is a dawning of a new consciousness 
when one's consciousness has "opened" 
when one's consciousness becomes complete 
that is when one has transformed as Truth, he will live. 


The true meaning of the end of the world 
is the end of man living in the false world.


Unless falseness becomes Truth, 
the world and one's false self will disappear. 


This is the end of the world that people speak of.

 
Meditation is throwing away the false mind, 
so please do not hesitate to contact us.

The true mind





The true mind 


Man lives thinking that his body is the master, 
when actually, the movements and behaviors 
of the body are controlled by the mind. 

So though people may witness the same event, 
the thoughts that arise in each person's mind 
are different for everyone. 

One's mind is made according to the life he lives. 

One's image is one's mind. 

To cleanse the mind is to eliminate the delusional mind 
of attachments that one calls one's self.
 
To return to the place that is before and beyond 
the presence of one's own thoughts 
means to return to the source. 

And in order to do so, 
a person must eliminate all memories 
of the life he has lived, 
which are the attachments formed 
due to his environment. 


He must eliminate his body, 
which lived housing the delusions within.
 
His mind, which is his consciousness, 
must no longer have his self. 

But become the existence for which 
there is nothing higher, wider, or bigger 


So that he may become one with the Universe. 


The Universe is the eternal and imperishable Energy, itself. 

Those of you who have the true mind are rich in heart 
and therefore you lack nothing. 

He who has become Energy 
he who has become Truth is holy Energy and Truth 
and so he would not have questions, 
doubts, or suspicions. 

He would live with a mind of pure emptiness 
that is cut off from everything. 

Such a mind that has become Truth 
would not debate the rights or wrongs of what is or what is not. 

Nor would it have confrontations 
since it accepts everything. 

It would just live and exist as it is. 

From the perspective of the infinite mind, 
living your life selflessly for others 
is the same as living for yourself. 

In fact, it is such a life that is truly one's own. 

One does not live within oneself 
but lives for the whole, for others. 


Which is why this is the last hope for mankind 
to become united as one. 

May every person know that all faults are one's own. 

May everyone practice this meditation 
so that one may throw away and eliminate themselves 
and live as one. 


The mind is one. 
The mind is everything.
Find the true mind within.

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 yourself.

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 yourself.

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.
