Teacher WOO MYUNG
Who is Woo Myung
Woo Myung is the creator of the Meditation Method taught in Ma-Eum Su-Ryun ("Mind Meditation"), which he founded in 1996. He is also, the autor of some of the best-selling books on Truth and spends much of his time teaching around the world on Truth and Human Completion.
Discarding the false minds:
Opening the Path to Human Completion
Master Woo Myung's sole purpose is to help people escape from their mind world and become one, so that they can live in the True World as an eternally liberated and peaceful existence.
He has created a complete method that enables people to cleanse and discard their false body and mind and be reborn as their original True Self.
This Meditation Method is not limited to cultural or racial boundaries - everyone, regardless of race, gender, religion or origin, can become Truth when they cleanse and discard their mind. It is absolutely normal and natural that when the human minds that everyone carries within themselves are cleansed and discarded, the True Mind of the Origin emerges and all become one.​
​
The Meditation of finding one's True Self continues to grow all around the world; and as the number of meditation students increases, many people have expressed their appreciation and gratitude to the person who founded the method. However, Woo Myung finds meaning only when the students attain enlightenment and become free from suffering - this is why he continues to travel to new and unfamiliar places. Essentially, he is a person of Truth who wants all people to become Truth, just like him.
Ever since childhood, Woo Myung has sought answers to the questions: Where does man come from? Why is man here? Where does man go after death? But there was no way to find answers to these questions. In his continuing search for answers, Woo Myung meditated on Mount Gaya from late 1995 to early 1996. As he meditated to eliminate his past life experiences, he realized that he was the greatest sinner of all. So, without mercy he completely killed his self in his mind. Finally, Truth was revealed and he realized that he had become Truth to teach all mankind the way to become Truth themselves.
Woo Myung created the Maum method - Mind Meditation (maum means 'mind' or 'heart' in Korean) through which people can gain progressive enlightenment through the eight levels of meditation. A main meditation center with a capacity of about 2,000 people in Nonsan, South Korea, was built in 2001 to train people using the Mind Meditation method. The center, composed of several campuses of meditation halls, residential areas, coffee shops, holistic health services, markets and shops, is a non-profit organization registered and certified by the South Korean government as a lifelong learning institution.
There are also many other not-for-profit regional and local branches in South Korea and around the world, numbering as of 2023, over 500 branch centers in over 70 countries, to continue to educate people in the ways of Truth. Currently, there are over 1,000,000 people practicing this Meditation around the world; many of these practitioners have become Truth and are living the life of Truth without the stress, conflict and suffering that often accompany human existence.
​
In 2002, Woo Myung was awarded the Mahatma Gandhi Peace Prize by the UN-NGO, the International Association of Educators for World Peace (IAEWP), for his efforts to lead people to live the life of Truth.
