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!.

Cyclical routines a must for life and nature

No 202 of Living Life Series 1





Lord Bo Tien, like all heavenly saints, knows best that in modern days, men who are idle and who do not have routines will have up hill time to be at peace.
 
The idle mind breeds restlessness, mental ills and contempt of life. For most people, there must be cyclical routines and these, if ample and balanced, will be good for both mind and body.
 
Life must work on cycles and routines like the rest of nature. We need to be in synchrony with the cyclical attributes of yin and yang of nature and yet be atop the yin and yang. Only then can we have more abiding and lasting inner peace that is out of this world but yet ironically of the world.

Cyclical routines dominate life and nature. Those who want inner peace will need to adopt ample routines in life to rein in sloth and torpor (tardiness and sloppiness of mind and body). These are the barriers to sustainable inner peace.

To have inner peace, there is need to be at peace with nature within and without the person. This will foster harmony not just with nature but with others who will find the person ever so peaceful and pleasant.
