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 Inner Truth that men fail to see in religions

No 1080 of Living Life Series 1
Spirituality in any form is to bring peace to men and to bring people together. It is never meant to divide and elevate any group to be the chosen ones above all others  - to lord and oversee others. 

The diversity of religions and for that matter, the proliferation of sects and denominations are meant to facilitate divinity to reach out to the many for the benefit of the many and out of compassion for the many. 

This is to meet their various immediate needs and inclinations, hoping that one day all may progress further into the higher levels where there are not just devotion and faith but more insight of the common truth that is simple but yet eludes men who are entwined in the web of worldly indulgence of some forms or other. 

There are many religions and sects but there is the same inner truth behind. This is the God Knowledge that in 1969, the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 descended to awaken men to this inner truth. 
This Inner Truth is buried like archaeological relics over the centuries by the additions of religious practices and beliefs. There is the need for the archaeological dig. 

We need to dig away the layers to find this inner truth. But the good lord is compassionate to show all this inner truth. There is no need to dig. He has presented it to all in whatever religion or faith they may be in, so that all can be better at their respective religion. 

This is the common truth of the need for goodness. True goodness brings inner peace comes what may. 

There is too much of indulgence for many and for some there is the denial even of life, both of which disable men and gives no peace. 

Belief in God and saints is good but indulgence is not good as men driven by passion may ferment ill-will for others who do not share their views. 

Non-belief is not good as well and few are steady on their own and are unable to have the peace on their own. 

There must be neither indulgence nor denial. There must be peace through balance in life. This the sages of old refer to as logic or Tao 道 - common sense. This is the inner truth.
