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!.

Know and live in the Word for the Word is God and saints

No 887 of Living Life Series 1 

Whoever says that God and saints take care only of their flock may have misunderstood them. Well, that would be sad. They are like lost sheep though ironically still in the flock and not lost.

God and saints take care of all, more so those who are not considered by men to be in their flock. 

That is why the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says the far may be near and the near far. 
It is more important to look after those in the wilderness than those who are no longer lost. 

For the near, what they need is to put the Word into practice and cultivate the purity of the inner nature. But those in the flock if they fail to do so and deceive themselves that all they need is to believe and do no more than that, they are wasting precious time. 

They think there is always another day and when the day comes, they think there is yet another day. They have sloth and torpor. 

It is not that they have no faith but they have blind faith. They are far though near. 

We must not be blinded by faith. We must not use faith as an excuse. We must have wisdom. We must not waste time. 

Time is a blessing which we could ill afford to put aside. Life is short and we must live well and correctly. We must not live as though there is eternity of life as man. 
Cultivate the Word for the Word is God and saints. Know the Word and know God and saints. 

Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 has this rejoinder. He who knows and lives in the Word knows and sees him and he who does not knows not and sees not the saint (the good lord) even if the good lord or his image is right before him.
