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!.

Let there be no condemnation but more synergy

No 1053 of Living Life Series 1



The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 stresses that there must be no guilt. The belief that man has sinned God creates guilt. 

 To many there is nothing odd about that. They consider themselves as children of God and their love for God makes them ever willing to be told off by God. They are open about their guilt. 

 Let us have a second look at this. In the first place, God is above hurt and what we refer to as sin is actually the not-good actions which affect not God and saints but ourselves. When we have guilt, we condemn ourselves and if guilt is overpowering, that can inhibit the growth of the light of love for life in us. 

 Guilt in small dose can be a wake up call but in overdose can poison life. 

The good lord reminds that the problems of men are many and plentiful. One great cause of many of our problems is in fact condemnation. Condemnation can often be self generated. God and heavenly saints don't condemn us. We often are our own critics but if we go on this way, go overboard and bedevil ourselves, this will be not good. This results in stress and fear. 

But the good news is that we can break free from condemnation by grasping the Word or Doctrine of God common to and underlying all religions. We will then be able to be more pure and have love for life not only our own but others as well. 

The moment we break free from guilt and condemnation, we will be liberated from the cycle of defeat and experience the abundant boundless love that many refer to as loving kindness or divine love. 

How can there be love and yet guilt and condemnation? In brief, guilt causes suffering and snubs out the glow of life. 

The greatest issue to many problems is guilt. When we have guilt, love cannot bloom further and we cannot tap onto the love of God and heavenly saints. 

God and saints are never on the frequency of condemnation. They empathize with us and love us. They are out to help us to love life more and be pure in being good - more good. 

Condemnation causes guilt and this is  in a way evil. Do away with guilt and have more love and life. All religions are one in the need for love. 

Let us embrace the spiritual principle of no guilt or condemnation the good lord Lord Bo Tien wants us to have - regardless of our religious persuasions. Let there be no condemnation. Then we can have more of love for life. We can have more out of life. 

 Not only must we have no condemnation, we must also not have any semblance of condemnation. Let men be not categorized into believers and non believers. All are welcome. This is the approach all religions have when they started off. 

 The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says the far may be near and near far. There should be no difference in treatment. Far or near makes no difference to God and saints. All are worthy of love and can make it in their own ways. 

 Religions are just labels and means to the same end. They should not end up categorizing and dividing men. God and heavenly saints have no such intention. Divine love does not draw any line. Divine love is not for some but for all. Divine love is inclusive and not exclusive. 

 Likewise any temple is for all and not for any exclusive group. But somehow men in the name of God and saints make temples exclusive. This will mar the good name of God and heavenly saints. For God sake, let there be no semblance of bias, categorization and condemnation. 

 Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 in essence starts no new temple or religion. He is for all temples and all religions. His teachings will make all be better at whatever religion they are in or want to be in and regardless of which temple they go to. The purpose is not conversion but for all to be better at what they are.

 What matters is that they be better at being good - at what they already are. They can learn from one another. They can be of help to one another. This he wants all know. This will also make all better at what they are - in whatever religion or temple they identify with. 

 Likewise, religion can make their counterparts better. Religions can adopt the best practices of one another. That is how a less philosophical religion ends up more philosophical. That is also how a very philosophical religion can end up simple and popular. You can say there is synergy.

 Religion however is only a label. Religion should not categorize men. Religions are only means to the end. The end is love and salvation for all regardless of religious persuasions or even if none. Religions should energize one another in love for all. There should be synergy in this direction. 

All should be equally at home in any religion and in any temple of men. Let there be no categorization and any semblance of condemnation. Condemnation can kill but loving kindness gives life. Loving kindness is synergistic.

 God and saints are all about love. Love is for all. Love is the beginning, the middle and the end. Love is everything in life. Love promotes synergy of religions. This too is reiterated by the good lord. 

 The following of any religion will increase by leaps and bounds so long as it focuses on love by men for men. Fellowship is the in-thing and it is all about love. In love, there is no condemnation. The two cannot co-exist. 

 Let there be no condemnation but synergy. Love is about synergy. Love has nothing to do with condemnation, guilt and fear. Who ever says God wants us to be God fearing? Who ever would dream a loving God wants us to fear him? If God loves you, why would he want you to fear him?  

 But because of this, in any temple of a good lord, people may do the oddest of things. They can even excommunicate a pioneer elder and throw to the wind the precept of respect for elders. 

 So perhaps there may be the need for some fear of God and saint but wouldn't that be illogical as well? Well, well, many men are not perfect and never logical enough anyway. We are not even referring to how spiritual they are. Indeed, what has become of their spirituality if they can break the precept of respect for elders. Where is their spirituality?
