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 aware of the upper source and go for it

No 1204 of Living Life Series 1



If all religions are one in God and saints, then why is there the need to decide what religion we should be in? 

Many just grow up in the religion. They are born into it. 

But some grow into English language and into society that speak English and are more orientated naturally to the ways of English culture and the prevailing religion in such culture. 

But the non-English culture they are born into breaks through in whatever culture and religion they grow into. 

What matters is not the religion. What matters is to see through the same oneness of God and saints in whatever culture and religion. 

Religion is just a label or front and very much man-made. Men just flow downstream in the river of life but what matters is that the water of the downstream has the same original water of the upper source. 

Good to know that. But how many will be aware of the need and go against the current to reach the upper source and away from the prevailing downstream culture to experience the natural crystal clear water of the upper source. 

They will have to get away from the downstream culture they have grown into after leaving behind that they are born into. This upper source mindfulness is what regardless of religions we must cultivate awareness of. Bye and bye with time we must reach for it. 

Of course going upstream is never as easy as flowing along downstream. This was elaborated by the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨. This is applicable to any religion. 

What matters is not the religion or the growing into another religion but the awareness of the need to go to the upper source for crystal clear spring water regardless of the religion we are in.

Be aware of the upper source and go for it. This is never as easy as flowing downstream. It requires uphill effort. 

True spirituality is never easy compared to popular religion. But the taste of clear water of spirituality is awesome. The taste of polluted water is already good for many but will be awful once they taste the water at the upper source.
