No 1036 of Living Life Series 1
The future of the world belongs to the young. The world has to take care of the young. Without the young, religion will lose its appeal, dynamism and have no future. A temple where only the old goes to and only the old are active is an ageing temple and will lack drive and passion. There is the need to rejuvenate the world and the temple of men in any religion that exists under under heaven.
The true temple for men is not by men but by God and saints for men and all beings. It is not just for the young or for the old. It is for all. It has a life of its own. It's liveliness depends not on the young but on itself.
Where is this temple? Well, all are in this temple. The world and universe we are in is that temple. Call this the universal temple. The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says that heaven is the roof of the temple. Religions of men are the pillars. All are in this temple. It is where we live and life is the teacher or gospel.
We learn consciously and unconsciously from life. That is life. Life is the spirituality we go for. Running away or denying life is far from gainful. Over living to the nines is ruinous and tiresome.
We neither die while alive nor try to get every morsel out of life. That will not be good and we have no peace. We go for the peace by neither dying to life nor trying not to let go of life. We are with life.
We go for peace from birth to death and from death to birth. We are at peace with life, birth and death. We are atop life and its polarities as depicted by the image of the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 with feet on the elements.
Then we do not cling on to life, we do not fear death and we welcome death when due in the same way we welcome birth. We are at peace with birth, life and death. We will be welcome by saints and all, be it in life, birth or death.
