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!.

Mission to save souls is by Heaven and not by men - a poignant reminder

No 1050 of Living Life Series 1



Men are the ones who need help and they are not perfect. They are not yet saints. They are the ones who need to be in a temple to receive help and guidance. 

Alas there are no saints among them and and like it or not they do run a temple. But in running a temple, they may think they can teach others when they themselves still need to be taught by God and heavenly saints. 

Even the elders in the temple who know more still need to cultivate and to learn to be better. They are far from saintly. Admittedly, they are the best bets to run a temple and to lead. 

The stark reality is that no matter what, men are never ready and only God and heavenly saints are ready in the mission to teach men how to cultivate themselves spiritually and be saved. 

Unfortunately, like it or not, there will be those who know too little and think they can be in the forefront. They side step the elders and the pioneers. 

Even the pioneers though knowing more are still far from ready to save others. When they try to correct the situation and to do their two cents worth, they rub the men around the wrong way round. How then can there be no problems?  

Thus the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says that God and saints are ready but men are not. He reiterates that the mission to save souls through any religion is by Heaven (God and heavenly saints) and not by men. 
He also says that where there are men, there will be problems. The problems and issues of men are many and plentiful. 
Thus religions and sects instead of complementing one another may end up not doing as well in this direction. Temples which should be examples of what the world should not be end up no different from the world with the same problems and pain in the neck as the rest of the world. 

But they are still needed and the mission of the good lord is to correct their shortcomings so that they can be better at being what they are and should be. 

His mission is to save souls through existing religions and temples. It is never his intention to start a new temple, least of all a new sect or existing religion though his descent in 1969 required that he descended and made known his mission in a temple setting.
