No 129 of Living Life Series 1
Storms do not last and will give way to calm seas of life. Do have faith to try to help yourself in storm of life.
With divine shelter of heavenly saints, it would be easier to weather the storm. Issue however big will become small issues and big issues will be no issue.
But do remember that to come out of storm of life you need to help yourself as self effort is needed. God help those who help themselves.
Hell anywhere be it on earth or in actual hell is no real issue that way. Even life in hell below may be long but is not infinite. Take comfort that those in so-called eternity of Hell can exit from Hell and be enlightened if they know how. Storms of life in human world are therefore much lesser hell so to speak.
Associate with the wise and not the unwise aspects of life and men and you will steer clear of storms (or hells on earth) better and get out of storms instead of being stucked in the eye of the hurricane.
Be a blessing to yourself that way. Get divine blessing and the blessings of good wise brethren as well. The trinity of love makes us blessed three fold.

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!.
