No 1120 of Living Life Series 1
A flag for all
with peace for all
and not just a few
not just for select few
or those who adore the Buddha
but for all who adore other saints
or even if no saint they adore.
But it is better we know this.
To all heavenly saints we greatly adore
To all heavenly saints we greatly adore
Thy glory is in the thought of men
We seek for thy protection and guidance
so as to live better for time to come.
All saints are one for the goodness of all
This we must know
This is what the good lord
Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 wants us to know
Then we be better in what we are
Better in the religion we are in.
Better even for those in other religions
Better for ourselves and for others.
This is what we should be
This is the way, the truth and the light.
Didn't Lord Jesus said so
when he said that he is
the way, the truth and the light?
Through saints like him,
we will surely know
the way, the truth and the light
that is in all religions and in life.
If more know this,
the mission of Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨
is making its mark.
Never mind if they know not him
But they who know the Word
embodied in the Vesak flag
know and see him or any saint.
 |
The values in the flag are universal
and present in all religions
|
They are better than those
near to him or their own saint
but far from the Word.
The far may be near
and the near far.
This too did the good lord say
that is true for all faiths.
Dear friends, what is the Word?
Many say the Word is God and saints
God or saint is the Word.
Even Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says
My image is the Word
The Word is my image.
The Word is about goodness
Be good
not be bad
Be pure
This is behind all beliefs.
If you are good at this
but not a Buddhist
you are better than many Buddhists
who pay lip service and put up a front
As Ji Gong 济公 did say
What matters is not what we do
or what goes through the gut
but what goes through the heart
