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!.

Learn from all to be better off in religion

No 1676 of Living Life Series 1. 




Welcome life and be at peace with all that come our way. Accept the choice parts as well as the not choice parts. 

Do not go for more than we can chew. Do not swallow without chewing. Be mindful of every part of life by chewing it and tasting it. This is mindfulness or awareness. Do not go for everything or get sick of life. 

These too we must do with religion. Life is religion. Be religious with life. Be insightful and in the know and not go and go. Good at times to enrich life by being aware of lives of others too. 

Likewise we be aware of other religions and accept what other religions say and do. Get a taste of other religions and add this into the life or religion we have. This is how to enrich the religion of our life. 

Bo Tien 武天 is all for you and me to learn from others and be enriched in life and in spirituality. He said that we can learn from one another and help one another in life. We will be richer and better in life and religion that way. 

Do learn from all religions to be better off in religion we are in. Learn from the strengths and the flaws of people in religions of the day. Stay tuned and be mindful from moment to moment. 

We may refer to this as meditative insight training essential for everyone regardless of religion or culture to be in the know and not go and go. 

We need to go about life with eyes open. We need to be wise. 

Learn from all and not hide away in a niche of our own life. Do not stay secluded in our own religious niche but be open to the teachings of all religions to add value to the religion or culture we have.
