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!.

A heaven for every faith and a haven for everyone

No 612 of Living Life Series 1




For those who think that there is only one Heaven and only through one religion men can get to Heaven in afterlife, they may be seeing only through their own limited understanding. 

There is in fact a Heaven for every religion. This is for real.

The reality is that by the merits of the spiritual of a heavenly saint, a saint can create a heaven for his followers to be born into in the afterlife so that they can continue their spiritual learning and cultivation. 

Do not for once think that this system of many heavens will not work. It is like having one human world but many countries. But unlike the human world with many states, there is no competition between heavens but rather they are complementary and there is synergy of sorts between the various heavens at that level of Heaven. 

In fact the various heavens are at the level of Heaven just above the human level. 

There are many more levels of Heaven above that. Some are where the heavenly beings have forms like man but at the higher levels the beings are formless. 

The Buddhas are those who are even beyond the formless and their state is difficult to put in words. They are beyond attachment - clinging or wants in life. They exist but neither have form nor are formless. 

They are not just energy without entity but are coherent unlike energy in that there is consciousness of high level independent of the sensual - even beyond the mind sense.

At one stage soon after the descent of Lord Bo Tien in 1969, it was revealed by the representative of the good lord  that the good lord is in continuous meditation in the Sun. 

What about this for us to reflect on? There is no compulsion to believe what is written in this post but please keep an open mind. Do not say that there is only one way and only one Heaven. 

Do not say that there is only one religion for all. Do not say there is only one this or that. But we should understand such people who say so for they have faith and good intentions. They know not what they do and we need to know that. 

Have an open outlook and not close doors to better insight. This will be good for one and all. There is a heaven for every religion in the afterlife but remember to be happy here and now. 

We need to choose to be happy in our life as man even when we are assailed by vicissitudes. Then we can be in haven of peace here and now. 

This must be our choice - the choice to be happy. This is Tao. This is the way in life and for this to be, we can do so through any religion or sect or even decide not to have any. 

The point that there are many ways and many religions  but only one basic truth common to all is the mission of the good lord Lord Bo Tien. This mission will prevail. 

The basic truth is that we must choose to be happy and thereby be a sea of peace for ourselves and for others who come into our life. Aren't we too in a way a creator of heaven for ourselves and for others when we choose to be happy? 

We must be like the lotus
that brings on the beauty of the pond
which would otherwise be unappealing
and nothing but muddy water

There is a heaven for every religion and a haven in life here and now for everyone who chooses to be happy. Please share this beautiful message around the world and beyond. Omitofo.
