World of Truth

The world of Truth is the world of God and Buddha.

The world of Truth is the world in which everything is one -

the eternal and never-dying world that is absent of death.

Let us consider this:

everything in this world appears because

there were things that had appeared.

And the existence that allowed these things to appear is

the Creator and Truth.

The world of Truth is the perfect world,

and as such it is a world that is everlasting.

In this Universe,

there was the emptiness that existed

before and beyond the universe,

and it is from this emptiness that all things were born.

The world of creation is one

when seen from this emptiness’s point of view -

this emptiness of the infinite Universe.

The whole of creation is alive,

for it is the living ‘Jung (Body)’ and ‘Shin (Mind).’

As you cleanse your mind,

you will find that although you may try to eliminate it for all eternity,

there is an existence which neither changes nor dies.

This existence is none other than Truth.

In this universe, there is

the eternally self-existing Truth,

which is the Body and Mind of the Universe,

or in other words, the Jung and Shin of the Universe.

The original foundation of the infinite Universe is

this Jung and Shin,

and it is from this Jung and Shin

that all creations of this universe came forth as existence.

Such existent creations

are wholly the Body and Mind of the infinite Universe,

or in other words, the Jung and Shin of the Universe

and are thus absent of death.

Our physical bodies are

formed due to karmic ties,

live due to karmic ties,

and die due to karmic ties.

But when all creations have become the Jung and Shin,

it is their minds that have become the Jung and Shin,

and this Jung and Shin will never die.

Such a Land is true Paradise,

and all that live in this Land are Truth.

Such an eternal and imperishable Land is

the Land of God and Buddha.

Originally, the Creator had created a perfect universe.

However, man has a narrow mind

and so he lives not knowing that

whether creations exist or do not exist,

they are all alive and that such is

the harmony of the Universe.

This world was always enlightened and absent of death;

God was and will always be Truth,

which is why all of God’s creations are Truth.

But even though God has allowed the whole of creation

to live eternally without death,

man is dead because of his sins and karma

and does not know he is alive.

The Truth of this universe is

the Body and Mind of the everlasting Universe.

He who has been reborn as the Body and Mind will live

where that Jung and Shin - that Soul and Spirit - lives;

in other words, he will live in

the Land of God and Buddha and perfect Paradise.

God is always alive and eternal,

but man does not know Him,

for he does not have God and Buddha in his mind.

The world where one has gone on to

after having eliminated his self is

Heaven as well as the Land of God;

such is eternal life.

Man must reach true Paradise here in this world

in order for religions, ideologies, philosophies,

economies, and societies to become one.

Such a world is the place man enters after his self has died.

Such a world is the place where one

whose soul and spirit have become one with God

and he lives eternally without death.

A person who has entered into that world while he is alive

will live a life that is of that world

and will accumulate his blessings in that true Paradise.

The greatest blessing is the blessing of Heaven.

A blessing is not something one wins

but something one must accumulate.

The blessings one accumulates are forever one’s own.

One who has been born in Heaven

accumulates his blessings in Heaven,

while one who has been born on earth

accumulates his blessings on earth.

Man accumulates his fortunes in his own delusional world,

but they are dead and untrue.

A person who accumulates his blessings in God’s Land

is the most blessed person of all.

No matter what their religions may be,

people pray to ask for things.

But one can only have

in proportion to one’s mind;

such is the logic of the world.

One can only act according to

what one has in his mind.

Consequently, he who lives chasing after blessings will find

that blessings evade him.

Truly blessed are those who have Truth.

Truly blessed are those who accumulate their blessings in

the Land of Truth.

It is only when a person

has completely eliminated his self and has fully repented

that the God of wisdom resides in

the thought-mass in his forehead,

and it is only then that he is

a person who has reached Completion.

When one ceaselessly eliminates and discards his self,

he will be able to reach Truth.

Before he was crucified,

Jesus said that he had reached Completion.

He died on the cross for God, who was and is Truth.

Thus Jesus had become one with the Creator;

in other words, he had been reborn as the complete Creator.

Jesus knew that through this,

he would become complete,

which is why he said he had reached Completion.

Reaching Completion while one is alive

is truly a difficult thing for one to do.

Jesus taught that in order to become one with God,

a person had to die.

A prayer of repentance is one in which

a person completely discards his body and mind,

which are his sins.

When one completely eliminates

whatever is left of his body and mind -

when he no longer has any sins -

he will thus receive the seal of God on his forehead.

It is from one’s mind that his thoughts come to exist.

But when one no longer has that mind,

God will exist in his thought-mass.

Such a state is Human Completion;

he has been reborn as a child of God;

he has gained the third eye;

all that he has is the consciousness of the God of wisdom;

thus he has reached the state in which

he has become cut off from all delusions.

But this is something that only a person in whom

this God of wisdom has entered into his thought-mass

is able to know.

It is the state in which

there is no longer anything left for one to be cleansed of.

It is the state in which

the inside and the outside are one -

where the world of the God that is inside him

and the world of the God that is outside of him

have no boundaries and are one.

It is the state in which

one is cut off from everything

but knows everything.

To have the Mind of God and of Buddha means that

one is cut off from knowledge;

it means that the Creator, who is the God of wisdom,

is present in him,

and so there is nothing he does not know,

for he has Truth.

Happiness would not even exist,

yet he would have happiness in his heart

because he is able to accept everything

and is neither caught up in nor hindered by anything,

for he is free.

He is free for his self does not exist.

He is free and liberated;

he is Truth, for his self does not exist.

He is Truth, for he is liberated.

Because he is God Himself,

he is Truth,

and therefore he is unhindered.

Life and death are one for him.

He is a person who has been born into eternal Heaven

while he is alive.

Such a person only does deeds

that accumulate his blessings in Heaven.

He is completely one with God -

the God of wisdom and Light;

the God who understands

the logic of the world through and through.

This living person lives doing the work of the living world.
