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!.

To see not God in man and man in God

No 1098 of Living Life Series 1




There is God. There are men. God bless men with religions. There is oneness of God in religions. This is the message of the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨

There is oneness of religions in God and in the basic Word. But there will be those who somehow just don't see it this way even if they light three incense sticks day in and day out.


Religion should bring people closer together and give a sense of belonging. Religion becomes a rallying point. That is good and positive.

But there will be those who try to bring people together by instilling fear of other religions. They want others to be in their religion at all cost by discrediting other religions. That is a negative way of bringing people together in a religion. 

They give a bad taste. They are not open minded. They play God. They subconsciously see themselves as God to men. God is not man. God is open minded. God don't think that way. 

The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says that man is man and God is God. Man cannot speak for God and act for God. God cannot be viewed as though he is man. 
When men see the man in God and portray God as wrathful, jealous and wanting praise, that spells the end of their logical approach. Logical thinking leads to more Tao

When man sees God as man, man ends up judging other men as though he is God. The ways of men are not the ways of God. God is not self-centered but man is. Man needs to cultivate common sense and not be self centered. Let there be logic of Tao 

Man is man. God is God. See not God in man and man in God. Basic common sense of Tao  must prevail. See not God in man and man in God. 

Some say that Tao is before everything we know even logic. Perhaps the evolved logic is mere rationalization and is not logic enough - not even basic common sense. Do read the reference below.
