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!.

A Practical Aspect of Mindfulness

No 1286 of Living Life Series 1


There are those who are near to God and saints in a temple. They will end up far from the temple. Why? 

 The more good they do, the more likely are they to attract those who are less motivated to a temple. 

 These are those who come to a temple like insects to the flower for nectar. They have different priority in agenda. 

 What they want set them apart from the faithful. They are far though near. 

 This is what the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 wants us to know. 

 The observations apply not only to a temple but to a family and to any society. We just need to observe and reflect. 

 This is a practical aspect of mindfulness. It holds true in any religion, society or family at least some of the time if not all the time. The good lord reminds us to reflect that what holds true in religion holds true for secular worldly life.
