Of the ten most popular reads every week, around four or more have to do with Ji Gong the Living Buddha. This may point to the need for more rallying sites where admirers and devotees of the living saint could congregate.
He is the living saint because he lives among men though a heavenly saint. No wonder he visited the Living Life Series and is a regular visitor.
For all intents and purposes, it is as though he is alive and relating to readers through this blog site. Do pray to him with your heart and with his saintly heart, he will touch your heart.
He is all heart for all beings and men. He reaches out to men where he can if there is the chance and affinity. There always will be unless you don't go for it.
He reaches out to embrace men who need him not physically but with their hearts. He lives up to the principle that what matters is what goes through the heart and not what one does or what goes through the gut.
He makes our incomplete life somehow complete not by our having more but having more with less. He guides us to have simplicity in life.
A simple life is less but yet more in life. It is more whole that way and even more so if we have the heart for life - for a peaceful, pure and simple life with Ji Gong ever as our friend to walk beside us as a friend in need and friend indeed.
That will be ever wholesome, reassuring and gives us many a breather amid the ups and downs, the yin and yang that often make us feel suffocated. Isn't that wonderful.
What a friend we have in Ji Gong! He is the sunshine in our life. Not only that, we can also learn from him to tread the Tao or Way to sainthood.
But first learn to be a simple and peaceful man. He was in his lifetime a very simple man - not even a monk of a monastery. He was excommunicated and roamed the streets but he was better than monks.
By having simple life though in modern times not as simple as in the days of old, we can better tread the Way or Tao. Tao is neither more and more nor less and lesser.

It is how to optimise life - our thoughts, words and deeds. It is how to make it simpler and less complex. It is how to have what are needed, the basic worldly requisites to enable life for more peace of both mind and body.
It is how to be simple and yet more complete with less. It is how to be true and pure at heart - not to be showy but also not to be empty at heart. It is not going for nothing or void that would result in a grieving, forlorn or pining heart.
It is not about overloading the heart but rather optimising the heart so that life can be more simple, fruitful and peaceful backed up by an easy going heart which steers clear of extremes and neither races nor stops. It is the heart of Tao and for Tao.
