No 1042 of Living Life Series 1
When a strong wind blows, people who should not be in a temple will end up in the temple and the people in the temple will be blown away.
Even the strongest of men holding on to a big tree may be blown away. The result is that the temple will be run by those who are not the best to run it.
This did the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says. He did indeed say so.

Thus in many temples the world over, temples are run by those with the least aptitude for the spiritual life. We will end up with temples being replicas of the worldliness of the world outside temples. There will be songs and there will be dance very much like the night life at night spots.
They call this religion and cheer themselves on and more of the night life of the world will take over temples. Well they hunger for this and set a new trend - a fashion statement of sorts. There is this new in-thing.
The purpose of temples is to showcase the difference between religion and worldliness ... and to let people have life very different from the world of sensuality, indulgence and worldliness. But we end up with more of the same in the temples of God and saints. Instead temples end up as temples of men rather than temples of God and saints.
But the time will come when people of worldliness will grow tired and realize that what they want is better obtained in the world outside temples. They were like the strong wind which blow to temples and displace those already there.
The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 explains that even a strong wind will one day stop blowing and good men will return. The strong wind will go elsewhere and bring along with them the men of worldliness and indulgence. But will the good men return. According to the good lord, they will.
The temple of God ends up as the temple of men. But this will not be forever. The strong wind of worldliness that brings worldly men to a temple will bring them back to the world outside temple. But when will this day be and how long must we wait for the day? God knows.
