Bo Tien 武 天 says he is no savior. He is not coming as a new saint to replace other saints. He is not here to start a new religion or sect to replace all existing religions and sects. There is no need for new religion or saints. Then what is he here for?
He is here to show us that all religions and saints are good enough for all but it is men who may not be good enough for religions if they see not the inside of religions but only the outside - if they see not the Inner Truth or basic Word common to and in all religions.
The Word is God. God is the Word. The Inner Truth is God. God is the Inner Truth. The grasp of the Inner Truth in all religions is what Bo Tien 武 天 set out to do when he came down in 1969.
He is out to nurture all to know the inner truth in whatever religions they are in and they will be better than what they are in their respective religions.
If this is achieved and when this will be one never knows, he has done his part for the Word. There is no need for him anymore and he said that his image will be lifted to Heaven and even a temple in his name will be renamed. This is his prophecy.
As God is the Truth and Truth is in life and everywhere and cannot be confined to a temple, God cannot be confined in a temple.
To do so is to derail and misrepresent the God belief. Truth is for everyone and for everywhere.
As the Truth, God and any saint like Bo Tien 武 天 cannot be compressed, squeezed into and bottled in a temple. This would not do justice to God and derail the God belief in religions.
Thus any temple in the name of Bo Tien 武 天 will in time cease to be named after him and his image will have to be lifted up and out of the temple.
No way for a temple or any religion to monopolise God and the universal Truth. The Universal Truth is the Inner Truth in life and in all religions. It is never under the sole monopoly of any temple or religion - or for that matter of any blog site or blog writer.
As God is the Word and the Word is everywhere and anywhere, God certainly is everywhere and in all places and religions. How can any religion or temple monopolise God or the Doctrine (the Word) he stands for.
That will be great distortion of the God belief - derailing and making God belief off track and spelling the extinction of God belief. Remember always that God is Truth and Truth is God.
The same applies to Bo Tien 武 天. He is not the monopoly of anyone or temple, even a temple with his name. His teachings are not new and to be found inside any religion.
We cannot say that only those in a specific temple can lay claim of being the only ones who are right and correct on the teachings and anybody else will be wrong. That too will be the derailment of the teachings and defiling Bo Tien 武 天.
That will be sure absurdity. How can anyone or temple or any blog writer monopolise and lay sole claim to Bo Tien 武 天 and his teachings?
Notwithstanding this post, what is your view? Is Bo Tien 武 天 a savior and the purview of any temple or blog writer?
For that matter, is God the purview of a specific religion, sect, man, temple or blog writer?
This like it or not has been claimed as the case by not a few but by significant others over the centuries. Is there the need to have a rethink and better give credit to God not as man but as God the Word?
What is your view? How can anyone think for you. Do think for yourself. Surely you can.
How can you let others think for you? That would be opening your doors to those who may mislead you though they may have the best intention. Perhaps they cannot even help themselves. How can they help you?
Some have ulterior motive to mine the unlimited wealth of the congregation or masses for their own pockets. What better ways than to make use of a temple or religion for this end.
All that is needed is to make cult figures out of themselves in the name of God and saints. Presto, what they want from you, they can get. Do not be gullible and fuel their ungodly ways.
Even a temple or two of Bo Tien 武 天 may not free from such manipulation. But that if it happens too can be a learning for men. This Bo Tien 武 天 had said. We learn from the lessons of life. The Word is in life.
A temple or saint is like a flower. Do not blame ants and insects from coming to a flower for nectar. This is no fault of the flower. This is what Bo Tien 武 天 told many in the past and this holds true even now and in any religion, temple or what have we.
