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!.

Men takes over a temple of God but not for forever

No 1042 of Living Life Series 1





When a strong wind blows, people who should not be in a temple will end up in the temple and the people in the temple will be blown away. 

 Even the strongest of men holding on to a big tree may be blown away. The result is that the temple will be run by those who are not the best to run it. 

 This did the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says. He did indeed say so.
Thus in many temples the world over, temples are run by those with the least aptitude for the spiritual life. We will end up with temples being replicas of the worldliness of the world outside temples. There will be songs and there will be dance very much like the night life at night spots. 

They call this religion and cheer themselves on and more of the night life of the world will take over temples. Well they hunger for this and set a new trend - a fashion statement of sorts. There is this new in-thing.

The purpose of temples is to showcase the difference between religion and worldliness ... and to let people have life very different from the world of sensuality, indulgence and worldliness. But we end up with more of the same in the temples of God and saints. Instead temples end up as temples of men rather than temples of God and saints. 

But the time will come when people of worldliness will grow tired and realize that what they want is better obtained in the world outside temples. They were like the strong wind which blow to temples and displace those already there. 

The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 explains that even a strong wind will one day stop blowing and good men will return. The strong wind will go elsewhere and bring along with them the men of worldliness and indulgence. But will the good men return. According to the good lord, they will. 

The temple of God ends up as the temple of men. But this will not be forever. The strong wind of worldliness that brings worldly men to a temple will bring them back to the world outside temple. But when will this day be and how long must we wait for the day? God knows.
