No 961 of Living Life Series 1
We can never be exactly right in spiritual matters and we may be a long long way to be more right. Knowing this, we must not look down at others' beliefs and want them to give up on their beliefs.
For all we know, the beliefs of others may add more depth and scope to our beliefs. We can always learn more and not just a thing or two from others beliefs and that is what we must do.
The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says we need to know from life our own as well as the lives of others. This of course must extend to religions.
We can learn more from the religions of others and not just from our own religion. We learn from life and life is the living gospel and within life, there are the religions of the world.
In fact, the good lord wants us to adore all heavenly saints and believe in their teachings. The universal prayer at his temple attest to this. "To all heavenly saints, we greatly adore. We believe in your existence and thy glory is in the thought of men. We seek for thy protection and guidance so as to live better for the time to come."
Thus it is pertinent that members of any temple of Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 must rise to show the example by learning from the teachings of all religions. If people of all religions do this, that would be marvelous and awesome. That would be great.
That would lend credence to the the good lord's teaching that the true temple is the world with heaven as the roof and religions as the pillars. All under heaven are in the same universal temple and the religions are the pillars to enrich men spiritually. Why go for one pillar when there are many in the four cardinal directions?
All temples and all houses of God and saints are but gateways to the universal temple we are in. We are in this world, in this universal temple to learn from all religions and not just from one. Let this be known so that men will be one whole.,.
The more we learn from all religions, the more we will fathom the oneness of the basic and simple inner truth behind all religions. Religions teach us more on this basic inner truth based on which the rest are but to flesh out this basic truth.
Religions flesh out in their own ways the inner truth of goodness and how to be pure. The more we are exposed to all religions, the better we will be at grasping what is good and how to be pure.
We will not be one sided but multi-sided and whole. Be good and be pure and that seems so simple but men woolly in the head simple cannot get this right.
We need to go to all religions so as to get this right and know enough to be good and pure. Religions together could help us to be better at being simply good and pure.
But admittedly, we must not be lost in the forest of leaves but see the helicopter view, be it for one religion or for all religions. This is even more so for all religions.
One religion is simply not enough. Learn from all religions and not from one - even for the simple and basic inner truth of need for goodness and purity found in all religions.
Perhaps as what Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 put it, religions as evolved institutions have become archaeological sites for us to dig in to find the relics and piece together more completely the inner truth taught by the founding sages in centuries past.
The inner truth is that little that matters and not the lot. But without the lot, we cannot go further. We cannot be attracted to and have the fortune to dig into and piece together more completely this little that is the inner truth. We can only have one view and not the whole view - 360 degree and inside view.
For all we know, the beliefs of others may add more depth and scope to our beliefs. We can always learn more and not just a thing or two from others beliefs and that is what we must do.
