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!.

On cohesiveness and togetherness

No 168 of  Living Life Series 1



The Lord Saint did mention

(1) The individual parts of flower on their own are not attractive but as a whole flower, they capture attention and admiration. Group effort is as beautiful as the flower.

(2) The sand and cement particles are easily blown and swept away by wind and by the rain but when they make up the concrete pillar, the pillar stands out and can withstand a storm.

(3) The amassing of candles cast more light than individual stand-alone candles

(4) But do not be like insects attacking the tree. The tree will not grow as strong and may wither. Do not tear down the good work of your brethren in the group

(5) We can help one another through fellowship in a group and we can learn from one another's life. This is over and above learning from our own life experiences.

(6) If as a group, members of group do not value the doctrine and make tardy progress in spreading and effecting the truth, then it may come the day when they should under the wide open sky give up the truth with a symbolic gesture of a cup of water. The truth may then go to 49 other groups that may better value it and spread and effect the word of God. This do apply to all faiths and sects inspired and guided by heavenly saints.

(7) The dragon of lord saint in their respective missions would have descended but at times the people are not ready and coordinated. They tend to step on the dragon, (holy spirit, power of divine love of the saints and of Heaven) rather than harnessing the blessings. Heaven may be ready with inner truth mission amongst men but the question is how ready are the men.
