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 author of bestselling books about the Truth, and spends much of his time teaching all over the world about Truth and Human Completion.

Throwing Away the False Minds:
Opening the Path Towards Human Completion


Woo Myung’s sole purpose is to help people to escape from their mind worlds and become one, so that they may live in the true world as an eternally liberated and peaceful existence.
He created a complete method that enables people to discard their false bodies and minds and be reborn as their original true selves.
This meditation method is not confined to cultural or racial boundaries – everyone, regardless of their race, gender, religion or background, can become Truth when they cleanse and discard their minds. It is only common sense and natural that when the human minds that everyone carries within them are cleansed and discarded, the true Mind of the origin emerges and everyone becomes one.
Meditation to find one’s true self continues to grow around the world; and as the number of meditation students increases, many people have expressed their appreciation and thanks to the man who founded the method. However, Woo Myung finds meaning only when the students attain enlightenment and become free from their suffering – this is the reason he continues to travel to new and unfamiliar places. Fundamentally, he is a person of Truth who wishes for all people to become Truth as he has.
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. Woo Myung was also appointed as a World Peace Ambassador by IAEWP for his outstanding contribution and service to humanity.
