There are many pebbles in the mission of Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) to save souls through the Four Pillar Message - The Inner Truth of God, the oneness of religions and the need to cultivate inner peace despite the ups and downs - the yin and yang. Even if these pebbles are without flaws, they cannot compare to the unpolished diamond with flaws.
In the mission of the good lord, Elder Ling is the unpolished diamond. In the families of men, parents are diamonds with flaws. In politics, leaders should not be judged by flaws when they are diamonds with flaws. Better to have them than pebbles without flaws.
Ji Gong (济公) is a saint to men. He ate meat and drank wine when he was man. This is no flaw and he is diamond to men. He is saint. What matters is not what one does or what goes through the gut, but what goes through the heart. This is his doctrine for one and all.
What has Confucius (孔夫子) to say with regards to pebbles and diamonds with flaws?
