Final Speech By Mańgong Sǔnim

by my Great Great Grand Teacher Mańgong Wŏlmyŏn (1871–1946)

Among all creatures, human beings are the most valuable because they are able to attain their true selves! The way of the Buddha cannot be attained through thinking or theories. Nothingness is the most frightening thing to human beings. Most people think about the universe in only materialistic terms, but the true substance of the universe cannot be found that way. My true Dharma speech cannot be heard –– that is my final Dharma speech.
