The Living Life Series is dedicated to Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨). The doctrine is in His image. The image is the doctrine. He who sees, understands and effects the doctrine sees and knows Him. He who does not see, know and effect the doctrine sees not and knows not the saint even if the saint or His image is beside him. The far may be near and the near may be far. Let the doctrine and the saint be part of our life. The lord saint in your life can be any heavenly saint of any religion, sect or school. The doctrine of truth is behind all and this is the Inner Truth that leads all (regardless of their religious affiliation or even if none) to inner peace and heaven on earth here and now and not just in the after life. The ideal worship and devotion is to know and effect the doctrine of God and the saints. The best gospel is the gospel of life. We learn from our life and the lives of others. The true temple is the world we live in. The sky is the roof of the temple and religions and sects are the pillars of the temple. All under Heaven are in the temple. Needless to say that all the saints we know are in this temple. Ji Gong Posat too is no exception. The whole wide world and web is the temple and must be regarded as a sacred place --- a temple for living and learning. It is more important that everyone that counts plays a role in this universal temple if due focus is to be given to the Mission of Heaven. Men must not be distracted by the agenda of men and end up serving the mission of man. That would be a far cry from the Mission of Heaven. We worship God and saints, not man however good that man may be. There should be no hero worshiping or idolizing of man whether he is a charismatic pastor, priest, monk, medium or lay leader. We don't even idol worship the image of any saint but reflect on what the image stands for. - the doctrine in the image. Omitofo 阿弥陀佛!.

Know and balance the fire and water entities in life

No 34 of Living Life Series 1



Fire is important to life. Fire can be helpful and yet harmful at times

Water too is important to life. It too can be harmful at times.

Both fire and water can be of use in the same household though they may be exact opposites. They can be complementary and synergistic though often antagonistic and in conflict, like the yin yang elements at the feet of Lord Bo Tien' seated image

The faiths or religions of man may appear to be as different as fire and water, but they are of help to humanity both singly or together.

But the religion of man for men can at times be misconstrued and cause disharmony and discord which are non-divine in nature. This is not due to wrong teachings or religion but due to the wrong interpretation and application by men.

God created the elements of fire and water as part of nature. If properly handled, humans reap benefits. If not, they may cause harm. 

God destined that there be many sects and religions for men to be of benefit to as many men as possible. They may present themselves as different as fire and water to attract the differing interests of men to bring them to God. However religions as institutions if wrongly directed serve the evil in men than the good of God.
