Karma is a tangle of uncountable causes and effects......don't get caught up in worldly things, release them all to your fundamental mind, and let them melt down automatically

Even if you undertake the most extreme practices, if you're still looking outwardly, you won't find the taste of your true nature.

Among new practitioners of Maum-Kongbu (Practicing Kwan & mind) , many ask questions such as where Juingong is or how one can let go. Since Juingong doesn't have a form, it is not possible to say where it exists. What is clear is that it undeniably exists within Mind and it exists as one with the wholehearted mind that believes and longs for Juingong. If we think of Juingong as being deep mind, we can visualize throwing everything into it while focusing one's mind on that place. One should remember that there is more virtuous merit in entrusting to Juingong once than in praying to Buddha hundreds of times.

마음공부를 처음 하는 사람들 중에는 주인공이 어디에 있으며 어떻게 맡겨야 하는지 물어 오는 사람이 많다. 주인공은 체가 없는 것이기에 꼭 어디에 있다고 말할 수는 없다. 분명한 것은 체가 없는 내 마음 속에 엄연히 존재하며, 주인공을 믿고 그리는 간절한 마음과 하나가 되어 함께하고 있다. 주인공은 마음의 근본 자리이니 마음 깊은 곳에 있다고 생각하고 거기에다 마음을 모으면서 일체를 다 던져 넣어야 한다. 자기 주인 자리에 한 번 맡기는 것이 부처님, 관세음보살을 수백 번 부르는 것 보다 공덕이 크다는 것을 명심해야 한다.

In Kun Sunim's book 《No River to Cross》, the first paragraph opens with the most fundamental question of our lives: Who am I?

Who Am I?

Above all else, you have to truly know yourself. "Who am I? and "What am I?" are the most important questions there are. You think, "I'm me. What else would I be?" But it is not that simple.

How did you come into existence? If you say that your parents gave birth to you, this implies that you are merely the biological combination of your parents' s***m and o**m. Is this all you are? No, there is that which is your foundation and your root, your true nature. Would you reject your root just because you can't see it?

Experiencing your root for yourself is the work you have to do as a human being.

- 《No River to Cross》, p.3


육신이란 입다가 낡아지면 갈아입는 옷처럼 영원하지 않으니 그 무상함을 지켜보라.
나의 생각 또한 영원치 않음을 지켜보라.

그렇다면 과연 나는 이 세상에 잠시 있다 사라지고 마는 허망한 존재인가? 고(苦)에서 벗어나지 못하고 고통받다 사라지는 미미한 존재에 불과한가? 아니다. 가만히 지켜보면 헌 옷을 벗고 새 옷으로 갈아입는 주재자, 참나가 있음을 알게 된다.

우리는 어디에서 비롯되었는가?
바로 ‘참나’인 주인공으로부터 나온 것이니 오직 ‘참나’를 찾고자 노력해야 한다.

To see other's pain as your own pain is to see with the eyes of a Buddha.

The effort I make today to learn, to practice, and to become one with my fundamental mind will set me free tomorrow. Forever and ever I will be able to melt down and free myself from karmic hindrances.

I can't take out and show this fundamental mind to anyone, yet it's this unseen captain that moves and guides me.
