“Dying Is Living and Living Is Dying — A Deep Teaching”

This profound teaching from Teacher Woo Myung’s book explores one of meditation’s deepest paradoxes: that when the false self completely dies, the true self is born and lives forever. Drawing on wisdom from both Buddhist sutras and the Bible, it explains why spiritual death is not something to fear — it is the doorway to everlasting life.

Stop living in this land go to the everlasting world of happiness and live there forever teacher luo myung this is called dying his living and living his dying the mahaparinirvana sutra a buddhist holy writing says that in the future in the world of the future Buddha parinirvana or perfect death can be achieved pyrrha nirvana is to die completely without holding on to anything what this means is.

That one must discard all of the human body and mind thus death means to discard or eliminate death means to not exist to die a big death is to die fully without anything remaining it is when man kills everything in his mind and discards all preconceptions.

Habits this is parinirvana or nero padilla sheesha nirvana nirvana without residue when one dies completely the original mind the origin the mind of the universe is revealed this is the mind of the origin it is God Buddha and allah this is truth when man who is false completely dies he has the mind of God truth when he is then reborn with the soul.

Spirit of God he will live forever in heaven in the world of immortals the land of truth there is a saying in the Bible that he who tries to die will live and he who tries to live will die this essentially has the same meaning as the sutra above once one’s false self completely dies his true self is reborn.

Lives in his land that is true so in order for the true-self to live the false self must die man believes that he is alive but as he does not exist in the true world he is a dead entity the only way for people who are dead to live is to discard their false selves falseness must die if the new true person is to be reborn.

Live people often think that when the savior comes their bodies will live forever or the souls of their bodies will live forever however they are dead because they do not have the mind of the true world and their true souls have not been born in the true world it is nonsense to say that one can truly live if one has not died.

Been resurrected while he is living when one repents his sins it is the death of his self the complete elimination of oneself that has turned its back on truth without true repentance that is death one’s false self lives in sin and that is the false world this is not truly living it is death only those who have died completely will live forever in the land of truth.
