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!.

Who should be in charge?

No 522 of Living Life Series 

 Caution: Parental guidance needed

From some where in the internet: 


The various parts of the body were arguing with one another. They need to come to a decision on who is in charge .

The brain is first to chip in to say, "I am in charge because I manage all the body's systems and without me nothing works." 


The blood said that "I should be in charge, because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you all will not function."

 Stomach Clip Art

"All of you are wrong, I should be in charge," said the stomach," because I digest food and provide energy."

"No, no, I am the one," said the legs, "because I and no one else bring the body wherever it needs to go."

"I should be in charge," said the eyes, "Because I allow the body to see where it goes."

"All of you are dead wrong. I should be in charge," said the rectum, "Because I clear the waste for the body."




All the other body parts cannot stop laughing at the rectum
And they mocked and ridiculed him,
So put off, he clammed down. 
Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache,
The stomach was so upset,
The legs got soft and weak,
The eyes blurred and got crossed,
And the blood was toxic.
They all gave up and let the rectum be the boss.


The Moral of the story?

Even though the others do all the work...

The ass hole, pardon the word, can end up getting the credit

Doesn't this tell us a thing or two on the running of society, be it a religious or non religious one? 

For a temple or church, is the elder or pastor the one in charge, or the asshole of a member who can manipulate the whole to his advantage? Think again if you think this is the case. 

Why? If everyone wastes away because of the asshole, then the organisation comes to nothing. The asshole is important but he alone cannot call the shots. The same goes with the brainy one. He cannot do it alone. 

 All must work as one like the yin and the yang in order to move on and have peace and progress in mission or in life. This is the teaching of Heaven which applies to both mundane world we know and to spiritual salvation of the soul. This teaching is echoed by Lord Bo Tien but the "ass hole" word should not be articulated to express the teaching. 


Who is the real leader, the one on top or the one below? The leader is the led and the led is the leader. Servant and leader are one, if we care to know more of yin and yang and live in balance of yin and yang. This the sages of old refer to as Tao or Way.
