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!.

Revealing The Mission Planning of Lord Bo Tien

No 435 of Living Life Series 1









There would be many who were not ready for doctrine or who were not receptive to spiritual life. They need to be saved and trained in other ways. They must first learn that the lord saint is real. Then they must like young children be told what to do. 


For the mission of the lord saint, there was no choice but to start off with the discipline and devotional phase. When the temple or mission was initiated, who were those who came? 


They were those who were like insects attracted to the flower for nectar. Blame not the flower for insects coming to it. This the lord saint said. 



Then the next step was to motivate them to do good, to help the needy and destitute. They might do so with view to seek approval of the men of the land. This was better than no good works at all. 
But this must give way to doctrine phase, The lord saint said that "the image is the doctrine and the doctrine is in the image." Sad to say that the image might be there 365 days a year but hardly anyone will notice or feel its presence, let alone the doctrine it is meant to bring to the lives of men. 
Thus above is the reason of why there were the devotional and welfare phases before the doctrine phase. But the problem is that the mission might be derailed by men at the welfare phase should they fail to grasp doctrine.

The lord saint however assures that somehow there will be one or two who could make it. That would be enough for kicking off of the mission proper - the doctrine on yin and yang, how to be atop these and have inner peace regardless of religion we are in. The mission cannot depend on men. Mission is not the mission of men but the Mission of Heaven. 

Let us sum up the mission planning by the lord saint - mission via discipline and welfare phases before doctrine phase. 


Lord Bo Tien said that the universe is the premise of the temple or mission. The sky or Heaven is the roof. Religions and sects in all the cardinal directions are the pillars. All under Heaven are in the mission or temple.
