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!.

Truth change us and not we change truth

No 1734 of Living Life Series 1 




God provides us with the Word on the need to be good so that all regardless of religion can be pure in spirit. But religious nuts go all the way for what they can gain in this world and end up not having fruits of the spirit. 

Bo Tien 武天 says we must learn from their folly. Be mindful that it is not that we forget the world we are in but that we must know what is of the world will return to the world and only what is of the spirit and the fruits of the spirit will be there in this world and stay with us beyond the world. 

God teaches us the way of being good in spirit and Bo Tien 武天 is his messenger. 

By trying to be good in spirit, we must be humble and pure in thoughts, speech and deeds. Bo Tien 武天 says that this is not as easy as it seems though simple. 

The passage of life will still not be as smooth but if we nurture the spirit, whatever falls we have will not be as bad as before. We will have safe landings with every problem in life. Small issues will be no issues. Big issues will be small issues even if these can not be no issues. 

With the nurturing of the spirit, we will not only have safe landings, we will not be angered by others. We will not be easily angered. He who angers us controls us. With more  goodness of spirit, we will be more in control and less likely to be controlled. 

The truth of being good, honest, humble and to be pure at heart is what we need to nurture. Never postpone it by giving excuses. He who is good at making excuses is seldom good for anything, least of all to be good and pure at heart - pure in spirit. To be good, we have to be kind but kindness is difficult to give away as it keeps coming back. 

Most people want to be good as encouraged by God and to share with others on need to be good but only in advisory capacity. They talk big but do not walk the talk. They end up changing the message. We do not change the message. The message should change us. He who cultivates goodness is too blessed to be depressed. 

To be good, we must be wise. Wisdom has two parts, having a lot to say and not saying it. The wiser the person, the less he talks about it. He knows the risk of talking and not walking the talk.
