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!.

Better at whatever religion we are in

No 994 of Living Life Series 1



The teaching of Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 is not to start a new religion or sect or to change men from one religion to another but is to enable us to understand God, goodness and need to be pure. His teachings allow all to be better at what they are, at what religion they are in. It is better to be a good Christian than to be a confused Buddhist.  Be better at what you are. Changing religion is not the answer for most people. 

A person may be won over by teachings of Buddha and find the teachings meaningful for life. But as he has been a Christian all along and so used to the cultural background, he should stay put and can make use of the teachings of other religions to be a better Christian. This applies to people in any religion. 

Those who are convinced by the views of Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 need not even to consider him as saint. They do not need to be a Taoist or Buddhist for the matter. They are better off where they are. His views help them to be better where they are.
