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!.

Are we ready for reality check?

No 1692 of Living Life Series 1 




Men search for satisfaction in life and when this is not as expected or as fast as can be, men turn to religion. 

Religion is able to meet this need somehow and to certain extent. 

But if this is still short of expectation, they turn to whatever they fancy that will give hope. 

They turn to gambling and hope to get quick money. 

They turn to whoever can promise what they want and which they could not get. 

This seems to be an unending  process. What they subconsciously look out for is perfection. 

But the horizon may seem visible but recedes further when they try to get close to it. This is the truth in life. 

The truth hurts and many are not keen to keep this in their sight in life. They rather live in dreams than be mindful of the reality of life. 

Bo Tien 武天 says that there is need to keep sight of reality and have the reality check. This he refers to as insightful mindfulness. 

All religions will promote this but many are not ready for this. How many are spiritually up to this level?
