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!.

Routines from systematic approach provide best in both worlds spiritual and social

No 205 of Living Life Series 1



Routine goes along with systematic and organised approach. When we are systematic and organised, we tend to have plans and we know better how to go along with life. We settle into a routine when the activities are long drawn over time. We are more likely to be effective, productive and more calm in going about life. We are better able to cultivate that inner peace in both spiritual and worldly life. The modus operandi for both are the same. What works best for spiritual life will bring about fruitful worldly life but not vice versa. Lord Bo Tien reiterated on this aspect of approach to life. This approach is the same platform of values underlying teachings of all sages and heavenly saints.

Best of all, we can cultivate that inner peace in both worlds - spiritual and social life. We become mindful and aware of our feelings and the need to be peaceful in what we speak, think and do. We can make others peaceful and they share our peace and cheer. Cheers and let us toast to routine as an aid to inner peace.
