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!.

Mission needs only one or two and at most a handful

No 346 of Living Life Series 1




The Mission of Heaven with Lord Bo Tien as messenger is not the mission of man. It is by God and saints for all men and beings.
The lord saint said that the Mission needs only a handful of the right men and even one or two is enough. This is to ensure that the Mission will not end up a mission of man.
The issue is that most will understand only at initial levels of spiritual grasps and equate mission as the occasional devotion and welfare activities and do not go to the crux of the matter which is to save souls and enabling others to elevate themselves beyond life and death which even those in some lofty heavenly states have yet to achieve.
Doing good is not good enough but we need to go beyond and have the inner peace come what may be it good or bad. We need to be with yin and yang and yet have peace amidst the yin and yang, the ups and downs.
Mission needs only one or two and at most a handful. This did Lord Bo Tien say.

Even Gautama Buddha on his enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree knew that few will understand the truth but on persuasion by Lord Sakra, he agreed to spread and disseminate the truth as at least a small number could understand and succeed. That would be good enough.

Ji Gong's life too is worth learning from. His life as a human was an enigma of sorts. He did what the contemporary priests and monks would never do. But he feared not of being misunderstood and  practised from the heart and not from the gut. Many could not see how he could succeed but he did. Only a few amongst his huge following could understand how he succeeded.

Only this finite few could grasp and practise the truth at insightful level and save souls, not only their own souls but that of others as well. The great majority of men would just be content to receive his blessings and help in times of worldly difficulties but hopefully they would one day be like the few and save their souls and that of others. 

After all, the great master Ji Gong knows that overcoming worldly difficulties that is the mundane issues of life will one day pave the way for supra-mundane enlightenment. But few amongst his  many devotees are ready for that level.There are only one or two and at most a handful ready to save themselves, let alone play role in the Mission of Heaven which is ultimately to save all souls
