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!.

The initial message is to believe and be saved

No 959 of Living Life Series 1



The easiest way to tell a child what to do when starting school is to listen to the teacher and belief in him. 

The easiest way for people to be attracted to a religion is to tell them they only need to believe and all will be well. All religions are like that. 

There is need to believe when starting off and if we do that, all will fall in place. God and saints will do the rest. 

It would be foolhardy to tell a child, he needs to know what is quantum theory when he does not know his alphabets. It is only logical to tell him he needs to believe in his teacher and he will be alright. 

Likewise, for the many staring off in religion, belief in God and saints is the key. It is illogical and irrational to tell him he needs to have insight meditation and mindfulness and the whole works. 
The starting off message is to belief to be saved. In any temple or house of God, no less a temple of the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨, all newbies need to do is to belief and their wishes will be granted. 
Issues will be no issues and even if big will be less of issue with blessings of God and saints. This the good lord did say. By just believing, they will be on their way. It is as easy as that. 

But when already on the way, they must do better than just believe. They must cultivate themselves to be on the Way of Tao present not just in Taoism but in all religions and in the teachings of all saints and sages.
