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!.

Be close and one with God, saints and all

No 1082 of Living Life Series 1



The mission of the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨is to save souls by enabling all in their respective religions to be better at what they are. This appears distant and far from the grasp of the people when he descended in 1969 in Singapore. They just know it but not how to connect it to reality and how to realize it
Then to top it all and add to the awe, there are the three phases - the devotional Good Belief Phase, the charitable Good Works Phase and finally the doctrinal Good Word Phase. The three phases are applicable to all religions.
While there is the doctrinal Good Word Phase to the mission of the good lord, many need only devotional Good Belief Phase and charitable Good Works Phase. 
The shrine hall altar of The Three Phases -
Lord Bo Tien Phase for devotion -
Good Belief
Goddess of Mercy Phase for charity  - Good Works
and Buddha Phase for Doctrine - Good Word
It is no wonder that the Buddha says it is possible to be enlightened by embarking on any of the three modes. Do read on.

Most religions to be catchy and to be popular to all are into the devotional mode. Just belief and leave every morsel of worry of tomorrow to Heaven. Just do keep the faith. It is as simple as that - so it seems. It is still not easy to do so for some.

To belief and keep the faith, one tends to think of self more than anything else. This will certainly mean that the good works that follow belief will not be as good when one wants own good. This will naturally lead to less or even no emphasis on doctrine, let alone Good Word. 

Well, popular religion will pamper the masses and go for the easy way out. Just believe. Isn't this simple, perhaps over simplistic and and misleading. Many will just end up more egocentric rather than ego adverse. This will just up the ego drives. They just see themselves. But they know not the self, let alone life and others. He will not be at peace... 

Yes then they will not end up knowing the true nature of life within the self and without. They will be far from the eventual truth and peace they should go for by knowing the true nature of life - the Good Word.

Even biblical texts refer to The Word as God and God as the Word. To be devoted to God, we must be devoted and committed to the Word - His Word. The Word is in God and in life. Belief and good works will not do without Good Word. The Word is God. 

The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 echoes this. He says that the Word is His Image. His Image is the Word. 
He even says that the near to Him may be far from Him - if they are far from the Word.

He who knows and effects the Word is close not only to the lord saint but to God, all heavenly saints and all beings as he is more loving and pure. 

Well, we do need to be like God. We need to be close and one with God, saints and all.  We need to be good and pure filled with love and be one with and accept the true nature of life. Then there will be real peace. This is what God is and will ever be. God is close to and one with all.
Even the Christmas message has to do with the gift of life - the gift of truth in Christ. 

Santa bears the
Gift of life
and peace.

There is Santa
and saintly nature
in everyone
There is peace in eternity of life and rebirths. There is eternal life and hope by knowing the Word and by being more loving to all men and having fellowship across all divides and nations.

This comes from belief and belief must be well grounded in spiritual knowledge and understanding. There will ever be the same Word seen from whichever religion or sect.

The Word is actually the same in substance of goodness and purity, but elaborated in diverse ways through religions of the day and time to reach out to all humanity and beings. 

But people being what they are may not agree with this. Given time, they will know. It is alright to have doubts. Nothing wrong with that. No need for guilt and fear whatsoever. Doubts arise because people want to know. This the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says is good. 
He adds that they are still family and near to God and saints however far they may be. The far be near and the near be far. There is the difference but this makes no difference to God and saints.

To conclude, all need to be one with God, saints regardless of religion  or even if none. To be in Heaven even now is no problem. We just need to be one with God ... Heaven is to be one with God. When we are one with God, we will be one with all saints and all men and beings. We are one with all religions and even those without religions.
