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!.

Purity of the one singular purpose in life for all

No 1032 of Living Life Series 1

There is no new teachings by the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 when he descended in 1969. The teachings of religions are already there and in fact the doctrine of truth and salvation has been there even before religions. Then why did he descend? What is he here for?

Yes, there is no new teachings or religion but only explanation and pointers on oneness of religions. There is no new teachings but only mission on oneness of religions. This is often forgotten and taken for granted. Men easily forget why there are many religions. That is why the good lord descended and that is why he is here for.

The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩 adds that the same principle that works for spiritual, if applied to secular world, works as well. There is oneness in diversity. Diversity is not to divide but to complement. 

The same truth of oneness amid diversity of interests apply to the secular world. Men can subscribe to different views but at the heart of hearts, all wanted to improve the lot of men and this they refer to as secular lobbies. But this must not be for sector or niche interests.

Ground secular lobbies can be partisan but national or global interests must be one for all parties and groups and for all nations and peoples of the world. They must serve national and even global interests. 

There must be the oneness in diversity of religions, nations, peoples and groups within a people. This is the purity of purpose all must have in life. 

But all do not need to belong to only one exclusive interest group or religion. To say that one group is right and others not so is to end up defeating the focus that all are one. 

All must not forget that they are here for the interest of all. There must always be the purity of that one singular purpose - the welfare of one and all and not their partisan or stand-alone interest. 

To start off, let all choose their starting points and have different starting platforms. This will be more pragmatic and appealing. 

But let not the differences divide. There must be the right mindset. No one party or group is perfect though some can deliver better results and better meet niche interests. 

There is however the need to appeal to diverse and variant interests. Obviously one platform is not enough. We need many. 

Differences must complement and not divide. Otherwise the means become the end and the end is forgotten. That would be sad. Let all groups work as one though differing in platforms. That should not be a tall order. Wisdom and insight are needed.

The oneness of beings in the welfare of all, the oneness of religions in saving souls is the message and the mission of Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 when he descended in 1969. 

There must be purity of purpose whatever the initial platform, religion or group, and of course, welfare and good of the many is the driving force. There is the same driving force. It is logical for all to do so. This is so that there is synergy of their efforts for the good and welfare of one and all. 

Don't work alone. Many candles are better than individual ones to light up darkness. This did the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 say.

The coming together for the 49 days of purity observance before Mission Day of Lord Bo Tien 武天菩

Mission Day commemorates the day in 1969 when he descended to stress on the welfare of all through religions and there must be this purity of this one singular purpose. 
All religions must stay on course to focus on welfare and saving of all souls. They have the same purpose but may have differing starting platforms and processes.

Mission Day falls on the thirteen day of the ninth lunar month. It is for synergy of purity of purpose in life, be it religion or secular. There must be the concerted and conscious effort to effect more good and welfare of all. 

There is need to emphasize the purity of purpose for all religions to effect more good for the welfare of all. Religions must complement and their good works must add up and not negate and cancel off one another's good works. 

Welfare and saving of souls too cannot be exclusive and for believers and select groups only but must ever be inclusive. No group should have the last and only say. 

Do not write off alternative views. They can often add substance and insight to our own views. Do keep in mind always the purity of the one singular purpose in life for all. 

We can belong to one or more group but do make effort to know why the many groups and religions are there for. Know why God and saints need more than one religion and sect to reach out to men. It is God's will. We will be wrong to say only we are right and others wrong. It is not right to say only one religion or sect is the one for all. 

All are right and we can learn from all - their plus and minus points. That way we will be better off and able to meet the purity of the one singular purpose in life for all - the welfare and saving of all souls. 

We not only care for our individual selves, those in our group and religion but also those outside our group or religion. We rejoice in the good works of other groups and religions. We not only complement their good works but we rejoice in the good they do.
