Teacher Woo Myung was born in a village called Euisung of Kyungbook province in South Korea. He became a successful business man running a college preparatory academy. However, he was often pondering upon the futility of man, and the meaning of life and death.

​

At the end of 1995, Teacher Woo Myung decided to go to Gaya Mountain in search of enlightenment. He began to discard his mind world and all the minds he had accumulated since birth. On January 3rd, 1996, he was able to eliminate his mind world completely. He enlightened that the Universe is his mind and that he is Truth. 

 

Then he realized that people can only truly live when they discard and eliminate their minds completely. He decided to teach people how to become Truth.

​

Teacher Woo Myung continues to travel around the world today, waiting for the day when everyone escapes from their sufferings and live as Truth and Oneness.
