Wu (awareness)

Model humanity: Main philosophical traditions: Ritual traditions: Devotional traditions: Salvation churches and sects: Confucian churches and sects: Wu (Chinese: 悟; pinyin: Wù) is a concept of awareness, consciousness, or spiritual enlightenment in the Chinese folk religion.

[1] According to scholarly studies, many practitioners who have recently "reverted" to the Chinese traditional religion speak of an "opening of awareness" Kai wu (Chinese: 開悟; pinyin: Kāi wù) or "awakening of awareness" Jue wu (Chinese: 覺悟; pinyin: Juéwù) of the interconnectedness of reality in terms of the cosmic-moral harmony (bào yìng) as it relates to mìng yùn and yuán fèn.

[2] This spiritual awareness, wu, works as an engine that moves these themes from being mere ideas to be motivating forces in one's life:[2] Awareness is a dynamic factor and appears in two guises: first, as a realisation that arrives as a gift, often unbidden, then as a practice that the person intentionally follows.
