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!.

Synopsis of Lord Bo Tien's 1981 anniversary message

No 165 of Living Life Series 1


 


The coming of age of the first phase of the mission meant there will be fruits in the second and third phases. The toil and obstacles of the first phase of 12 years constituted the turbulent waves that would subside and calm would return in the second and third phases. The merits or 'kong teck' from the first phase would stand the temple of people in good stead for happiness and success. Ancestry and fore runners would bless and protect the members so that they could better do good.

For the temple, like all spiritual institutions, sincerity and purity of efforts in past good deeds would have cultivated that inner peace and joy "that is divine and in unison with the holy spirit of God and the host of heavenly saints. Many would not have the opportunity to be part of this process and all in the mission or spiritual thrust should treasure the blessing of being in the mission or spiritual thrust."

The best will ever yet be, but after pioneering phase, success will be forthcoming for endeavours and this is true in any spiritual organisation. "All must work with one heart and there will always be the way forward. Be sincere and pray to Heaven for blessings and patronage. The important axiom for all is this. Worship Heaven and not man. Then with divine patronage and compassion of Heaven, all will be able to spread cheer, hope and love to all sentient beings "
