My (very personal) Change Thanks to Maum Meditation #1: Everything is my fault

"내탓이다"

The four characters in this picture means:

It's my fault.

This is the biggest and the most incredible realization

I experienced through Maum Meditation.

As I looked back at my past life, I could really see how horrible and selfish I have been

and that everything, I mean literally everything, is my fault.

I'm infinitely grateful. 

Throwing away the false mind enabled me to look myself 

from a perspective which is absent of my self. 

Thanks to/through the method of Maum Meditation,

I could realize that everything is my fault and also throw away all that false mind I hid.

"Everything is my fault because there is me"

                                                              - Woo Myung

Everything is entirely my fault

To see things in this way is my fault

To see things in that way is my fault

Other people’s mistakes are my fault,

And what they do well is also my fault

To think others are doing wrong or well is my fault

Everything in this world is my fault

All the conditions by which the world runs is my fault

It is not the fault of the world,

My ancestors, or my parents,

Nor is it the fault of my husband, or wife,

It is not the fault of my children, or my siblings or friends.

It is not the fault any of the people in the world,

It is all, my fault.

The enemies the people I hate or the people I love

The well off and the not well off

The dirty and the clean,

Everything is my fault
...the rest omitted.

This poem written by Teacher Woo Myung, 

has been one of my favorites since I truly understood the meaning of "Everything is my fault".

Now I can appreciate people and things, situations and conditions around me.

I can listen to other people, understand and respect them.

This is something I would've never imagined.

I'm truly grateful.
