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!.

Dominance not good, more so in religion

No 1373 of Living Life Series 1
God and saints will not permit any one interest group to rough shod their ways over the other groups and dominate the scene at large - threatening the peaceful functioning of other groups. 

If they do this to nature, there will be global warming and lack of homeostasis with resulting upheavals of sorts. Nature will realign itself to exact retributions of sorts. 

Thus the ego tendency, self-righteousness of one group or their drive to dominate over other groups will threaten the very survival of not only the other groups but also themselves - they who think they have right to dominate all other groups. 

This is the law of nature (call it by any name if you like) which acts to try to get the balance and peace - the yin and the yang which the sages of Tao in old China referred to. This is also referred to by Bo Tien 武天. 
God's love for anyone group does not give the right for that group to dominate and disturb the others. The godly or god-loving ones may well end up undoing their very love for God and saints. 

They end up as being ungodly though their intention is to be otherwise. Humanity will ever have such problems and history will repeat itself and bear witness to the shortcomings of men - more so men in the name of love for God and saints. The world will be a Shangri La or paradise of sorts if there are no such problems.
