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!.

Many religions one divinity

No 248 of Living Life Series  







There are many races in a country but all are united in one nation. This gives rise to the slogan " Many races one nation "

There are many religions but only one God or Divinity.  This is  reflective of the cosmopolitan nature of society. Whilst  God is one, there is diversity amongst men not only in the number of races but also in the number of religions as well. All religions are one in God.

The world is one universal temple with Heaven as the roof of the temple, and religions are the pillars of the temple. Men irrespective of creed, race or language  are in this universal temple. When the sun shines, life goes on and when the sun sets, life takes on a different hue. This is as elucidated by Lord Bo Tien

There cannot be only one religion but many as there exists diversity. Diversity is the will of God and represents wholesome completeness. There are different races and even for a race, there are many tribes or dialects. Even for a dialect, there are many varied styles. For any given religion, there are many sects and for any given sect, there are many schools and for any given school, there are many temples or churches and for any church or temple, there can be many monks, pastors or priests.

So how can there be only one true sect that surpasses all other sects and how can there be one religion that surpasses or excludes all others as the only one that speaks out for God?

Dear readers, there is indeed not just one religion for one divinity but many religions for divinity.

"Many religions one God" is the truth of all truths.
