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!.

Tail wags the dog. Dog wags the tail

No 1740 of Living Life Series 1 




Dog wags the tail. What happens when the tail wags the dog? That will be ridiculous, isn't it? 

God should hold sway over man. What happens when man decides to hold sway over God? That is unthinkable. But the unthinkable can happen. 

God presides in the court of life over men. But man may decide to take over this role and make a mockery of the court of life. Man ends up presiding the court of life in this world. This is not the norm but has happened. 

Man may not even bat an eye and think he has done a great job. This happens in life. 

Bo Tien 武天 says that if we are truly spiritual, we will learn from life to and be better off from the learning. 

The truth is in life. If we are not insightful and mindful, we will end up with situation of the tail wagging the dog. Tail wags the dog. Dog wags the tail.
