✨ About This Reading
In this teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that gesong is the written expression of enlightenment itself. True gesong does not come from intellectual knowledge but from the heart. It reveals whether the writer has truly awakened, because the words flow directly from enlightenment. While gesong may be difficult for ordinary people to fully grasp, the most profound gesong is written so simply and clearly that all can understand—and through it, gain enlightenment.
📖 Original Text (Full Reading)
What is Gesong?
Gesong is a written expression of one’s enlightenment. Gesong resides in the enlightenment, and the enlightenment resides in the gesong.
One can know by reading gesong whether or not the writer has been enlightened, because gesong is a writing from the heart. Only when it is written from the heart is it a true gesong; it cannot be called that when it is written from the knowledge of one’s head. It is possible to know the place of a person’s mind through his gesong, but usually it does not give enlightenment to ordinary people because people find them difficult to understand. The best or most well-written words are those that people can easily understand, therefore the best gesong is one that everyone can understand and gain enlightenment from.
