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!.

Not a savior or purview of any temple or blog. What's your view?

No 1421 of Living Life Series 1


Bo Tien 武 天 says he  is no savior. He is not coming as a new saint to replace other saints. He is not here to start a new religion or sect to replace all existing religions and sects. There is no need for new religion or saints. Then what is he here for?

He is here to show us that all religions and saints are good enough for all but it is men who may not be good enough for religions if they see not the inside of religions but only the outside - if they see not the Inner Truth or basic Word common to and in all religions. 

The Word is God. God is the Word. The Inner Truth is God. God is the Inner Truth. The grasp of the Inner Truth in all religions is what Bo Tien 武 天 set out to do when he came down in 1969. 

He is out to nurture all to know the inner truth in whatever religions they are in and they will be better than what they are in their respective religions.

If this is achieved and when this will be one never knows, he has done his part for the Word. There is no need for him anymore and he said that his image will be lifted to Heaven and even a temple in his name will be renamed. This is his prophecy

As God is the Truth and Truth is in life and everywhere and cannot be confined to a temple, God cannot be confined in a temple. 

To do so is to derail and misrepresent the God belief. Truth is for everyone and for everywhere.  

As the Truth, God and any saint like Bo Tien 武 天 cannot be compressed, squeezed into and bottled in a temple. This would not do justice to God and derail the God belief in religions.

Thus any temple in the name of Bo Tien 武 天 will in time cease to be named after him and his image will have to be lifted up and out of the temple. 

No way for a temple or any religion to monopolise God and the universal Truth. The Universal Truth is the Inner Truth in life and in all religions. It is never under the sole monopoly of any temple or religion - or for that matter of any blog site or blog writer. 

As God is the Word and the Word is everywhere and anywhere, God certainly is everywhere and in all places and religions. How can any religion or temple monopolise God or the Doctrine (the Word) he stands for. 

That will be great distortion of the God belief - derailing and making God belief off track and spelling the extinction of God belief. Remember always that God is Truth and Truth is God. 

The same applies to Bo Tien 武 天. He is not the monopoly of anyone or temple, even a temple with his name. His teachings are not new and to be found inside any religion. 

We cannot say that only those in a specific temple can lay claim of being the only ones who are right and correct on the teachings and anybody else will be wrong. That too will be the derailment of the teachings and defiling Bo Tien 武 天

That will be sure absurdity. How can anyone or temple or any blog writer monopolise and lay sole claim to Bo Tien 武 天 and his teachings

Notwithstanding this post, what is your view? Is Bo Tien 武 天 a savior and the purview of any temple or blog writer? 

For that matter, is God the purview of a specific religion, sect, man, temple or blog writer? 

This like it or not has been claimed as the case by not a few but by significant others over the centuries. Is there the need to have a rethink and better give credit to God not as man but as God the Word? 

What is your view? How can anyone think for you. Do think for yourself. Surely you can. 

How can you let others think for you? That would be opening your doors to those who may mislead you though they may have the best intention. Perhaps they cannot even help themselves. How can they help you? 

Some have ulterior motive to mine the unlimited wealth of the congregation or masses for their own pockets. What better ways than to make use of a temple or religion for this end. 

All that is needed is to make cult figures out of themselves in the name of God and saints. Presto, what they want from you, they can get. Do not be gullible and fuel their ungodly ways. 

Even a temple or two of Bo Tien 武 天 may not free from such manipulation. But that if it happens too can be a learning for men. This Bo Tien 武 天 had said. We learn from the lessons of life. The Word is in life. 

A temple or saint is like a flower. Do not blame ants and insects from coming to a flower for nectar. This is no fault of the flower. This is what Bo Tien 武 天 told many in the past and this holds true even now and in any religion, temple or what have we.
