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!.

Better at what they are as a Chinese cultural temple

No 995 of Living Life Series 1



The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 favors no religion or sect and starts no new sect or religion. He descended in 1969 in a Chinese cultural temple setting and was able to show that the same inner truth of God and goodness present in all religions is present in less organized traditional culture as well. 
His temple is meant to complement other Chinese cultural temples and be example of how such temples should evolve to be. Chinese cultural temples should continue to be of benefit to society and people of all religions, change traditions if necessary, promote charity of all kinds and in all ways - aged home for destitute, day care center and aid to less fortunate living in community.
Like individuals, temples must continue to be what they are but better at being what they are. A temple is better off as a temple and will be better at being a temple with the approach started by the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨. 
People should be better at whatever religion they are in. Temples too can be better at what they are. For that matter any house of God of any culture or religion can be better at being what they are. 

At the same tine, peoples of different houses of God can continue to join in fellowship of the common inner truth of God and goodness behind all religions. 
There is no stopping for peoples of all religions to celebrate festivals of religions other than their own. Christmas is one of them. In fact at the temple of the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨, Christmas is one of the celebrations at the temple. It has become part of Chinese culture. Santa does come to the temple of the good lord on Christmas Eve. 
Better at what we are is the way to go for the most of us. A Chinese cultural temple can be better at what it is as well. As Christmas is a world culture and long been part of Chinese culture, there too will be Christmas bells at the temple of the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 and don't forget to say hello to Santa there on Christmas eve.
