No 677 of Living Life Series 1
How is it that some men would rather have less peace by being truthful to their beliefs and tell others who are not of their views on religion in the face? Don't they risk ruffling the peace and harmony that take many years to build up in a community?
To dent the peace is easy and once there is a break, then all hell make break loose. Well, this does not happen that easily and we can continue to have the peace and improve on it.
Best that if there cannot be detente and empathy, people who are of different views must keep the silence, live and let live. That way families made of those with diverse views and faiths can stay together as families and society can stay cosmopolitan and whole.
This is the will of Heaven and to many this is the will of God. This is and must be.
That even in a religion, there can be myriad denominations and sects speak volumes of the need for men to strike out on their own. Men want to be different and yet one in religion and in God.
It is not that one sect or denomination is more correct or the only correct one for a religion, but that men are basically individualized, more self-opinionated and see the world of divinity and life from their own eyes - from their own corners of the world.
No wonder when the good lord Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) arrived in 1969 to this world through the late P. Philip, he proclaimed that there is one God and one same basic doctrine of oneness of God and inner peace but many religions in the four different cardinal directions with the sky or heaven as roof and all people are house therein in what is the universal temple.

It is people whom God is concerned with and how they could one day find at their own individual pace the inner peace of the soul. People cannot be one but in diversity they can be whole. Thus there is not one religion but many sects and religions. In diversity without adversity, there is wholeness and yet oneness in God and all heavenly saints.
Isn't this wonderful? This the good lord in 1969 refer to as The God Knowledge which is simple and profound but yet difficult for some to accept. God bless.
