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!.

Apply not the logic of one society on another

No 1494 of Living Life Series 1 




The problem with some including the so-called well heeled and civilised is that they impose their views on others. 

For example, they impose their definition of God as the ultimate Creator and pass remarks that respect for elders as the first gods in the family as wrong just because though elders like parents are creators, they themselves were created. 

So, if we forgo the premise that God is the ultimate creator and not created, then it is logical for parents, elders and adults who procreate to be regarded as the first gods. There will then be gods of gods. 

God above is the ultimate ruler of the immediate heaven above us. That God is no ultimate creator of all that be does not make God a lesser God or no God. 

Men tend not to see logic or Tou-li. Men are logical in their own culture but considers the logic of other cultures not logical. Society at large should not apply the logic of one culture on another. Religion is about the same Tou-li or basic logic - the common or inner truth behind all religions. This is the basic message of Bo Tien 武天

That men tend to be illogically logical is in the nature of man as one of the species of living things in the world we live in.
