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!.

Oneness in trinity will suffice or is this so?

No 1047 of Living Life Series 1

Where is the oneness of God and saints when in the temple, there arose many altars when one altar will do to represent the pantheon of God and saints. 

 There is oneness in trinity of Buddha, Goddess of Mercy and Lord Bo Tien at Bo Tien Temple in the old days. 

 Where is the need for more altars and shrines? But men who know less want more. 

 So what is the problem with that or rather is this an issue? It depends on where you come from. 

 But if you want to go by the Word, then less is more and more is less. Why is this so? 

 The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says that those who see his image but sees not the Word, does not know him or see him. The Word is his image and his image is the Word. He said this, didn't he? 
This applies to God and all heavenly saints. In fact ultimately, there is no need for images let alone any image if we have the Word at heart. 

 A plethora of altars and images will not do to abide by this teaching. 

 Moreover as the good lord says that the universal temple is the world with sky or heaven as the roof and religions the pillars. 

 In such a temple, there is no altar let alone images. Life itself is the gospel or Word. There is no need for images if we have and live by the Word.
