✨ About This Reading
In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals that everything—humans, animals, plants, Earth, and even celestial bodies—ultimately returns to non-existence, the origin of the Universe. This non-existence is not empty nothingness but the original body that is insubstantial yet substantial, beyond form yet eternal. To practice dō is to awaken to this truth and return to our original self, which exists beyond illusion and matter. By realizing this origin, one becomes united with the infinite Universe.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
What Does “Returning to the Origin of the Universe” Mean?
Whether it be man, animals, plants, the celestial bodies in the sky, or Earth itself, everything returns to nonexistence - the origin of the Universe. Non-existence is without form and immaterial, and it exists amidst nothingness as the original body that is the origin of the Universe.
To do dō (seek or practice Truth) is to return to this original body that is insubstantial and yet substantial, that exists amidst non-existence and does not exist amidst existence. The creations of the Universe, just as they exist, are this existence that is substantial and insubstantial. Therefore dō is knowing this existence that is our original selves, and this knowing is to return to the origin of the Universe.
