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!.

What is the purpose or call of life?

No 1043 of Living Life Series 1




People who are the least spiritual go to a temple for worldly nectar, just like insects and ants going to the flower for nectar. This was mentioned by the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨. 
But if this is what they want, so long as they do some good, they will get it. Doing good is the first step in the call to spiritual. But often more get sidelined and go for worldly nectar. They want worldly gains which become the ends and not the means to spiritual. 

For those more savvy with the world and want worldly nectar, certainly there is more out there beyond the temple. Many will end up going for this and the temple becomes no longer their arena of orbit or at most their minor or subsidiary domain. 

Are you one of them? If you are, it is time to reflect and make good. The good lord says that it is unavoidable that people ask for worldly blessings or nectar. This is what all want and this will enable them to have easier life and hopefully easier life will facilitate awakening of the spiritual horizon. 

There is need to meet worldly needs but this is only the means to the end. The end is heaven and peace here and now. 

But how to have peace if we lust for more of the world? The quest for more and more brings no peace. 

At the other extreme, how can there be peace and heaven when we deny our worldly nature and forgo the flesh. 

All of us must know what is the purpose or call of life. What is the purpose or call of life? May peace be with you. 

Sometimes, a period of fasting may serve as a wake up call. One such fasting is the 49 days purity observance before mission day of the good lord. Then people learn to have less and yet have more. They have peace with less - avoiding none and one too many.
