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 that little that matters, not the lot

No 960 of Living Life Series 1 



Ji Gong (济公) knows only a little by contemplating on crickets and why life is just like the crickets playing out in all aspects of life resulting in more strive and no peace. He ends up knowing more with just a little. He ends up having peace by knowing how to have peace amid the storms and conflicts of life. 
Know a little and don't be floored by the lot. Know more and be lost and need to know even more. Often this seems to be the case in religion. 

Why then religion must teach that much more and has allot to tell? 

Well, it has to dangle many carrots to capture the attention of the many so that at least a carrot or two will attract you to the house of God. 

But then after being attracted, you may be lost and bewildered by the many more attractions in that religion. These may end up as distractions or diversions. You may end up lost in the leaves of the forest when the leaves in your hand if you know them well may help you to go the mile. 

Go for the basic or inner truth that any religion will have and common to all religion. This is the message of the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 when he descended in 1969. 
The basic is just common sense. No need even for religion to know that. Be good. Be simple in mind. Be one in mind not with mind all over the place. Be pure and go for this - the must-have. The rest are not must-have. If you are too distracted, you will not see this simple logic and focus in life.
