“From Despair to Hope — Escaping Suffering Through Truth”

Throughout history, countless people have lived, suffered, and disappeared without a trace. This teaching from Teacher Woo Myung asks a challenging question: if human life ultimately has no lasting meaning, how can we escape from suffering? The answer lies in discarding what is false so that only truth remains — and being reborn from that place of truth.

Stop living in this land go to the everlasting world of happiness and live there forever teacher wu myung this passage is called from despair to hope there were people living in the world even a long time ago the many people who lived in the world throughout the ages have all disappeared silently.

Without a trace while they lived they were attached to the realities of their daily lives and they suffered because of their minds of possession but despite all of their agony zhing over the meaningless events of life no trace of them remains ultimately there is no meaning in human life the only way for men to live forever and escape from suffering.

Burden is to die while he is still living only then can he find his true self his true self is God who remains when he is dead even if all people in the world disappear what remains is the existence without form taste scent sight hearing.

Feeling that is the existence for which these minds have completely ceased remains the original foundation if one is reborn from the original foundation he and the world become eternal and never dying immortals and both the world and man live for they become God that never dies discarding.

Becoming real is the only path to life people want to become real at the same time keep the falseness there are not many people who know that they can only become real if they throw away what is false they have such strong attachments to their falseness that they look for truth within it they do not know that truth does not exist within falseness this is how foolish.
