No 1064 of Living Life Series 1
The real temple of the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 is the world with religions as the pillars and the sky or Heaven as the roof. All the people in the world are in this temple.
Any temple of men built in his name must like the universal temple comprise of people. It must accommodate all and not be exclusive - not under control of a group of men with vested interests. If exclusive to some, it is only a temple of such men and not a temple of the lord.
A temple of the lord is the people and not the building of bricks and concrete which do not last, more so if it is on lease of say 30 years or more. Such lease is common in land scarce nations and may easily cost ten times the cost of the first 30 years to extend.
Only a temple of people of flesh and blood is a temple of the lord. A temple of concrete may be costly but a temple of people is priceless.
It is through growing the people in numbers and in quality and it is through constant re-enforcing the togetherness of the people that bring wonders. No challenge will be difficult to fulfill, be it financial or otherwise.
Yes, indeed, the people in any of his temples can have different religious persuasions and inclinations of sorts but they must be one in accommodating one another. There must be at least some give and take to begin with but this is not enough.
They must promote and grow themselves to be better in what they are by understanding the oneness of religions and the oneness of truth despite the plethora of understanding.
There is the oneness of the inner truth underlying the religions of the world. They are able to accept and embrace the thinking and ways of one another as obvious derivatives of the same basic truth
Each group keeps to their views and become better at what they believe. They are better able to do so by taking into account others' differing perspectives. They are not in their own world. They share the world of God and saints under the same sky.
Any temple of the lord must accommodate all views with harmony and tolerance despite the differences. If this is absent, then such a temple is NOT living up to his name.
