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!.

Diverse views not just one - in life and in God

No 1493 of Living Life Series 1 


Do not hold the narrow view that only we matter and others views are wrong. 

Do not live as though what our big group believes in is correct for all. If we think our world of many thousands is big enough and represents the whole big world, then we are deceiving ourselves and we end up with conflicts with rest of the world. 

We must go for the principles that are common and applies to all peoples, groups and nations. This is the basic or inner truth Bo Tien 武天 refers to. 
Some in the same society, culture or religion may appear not to agree with the majority. This is not that they are different, more right or more wrong but that they are at higher or different levels of viewing the same basics. This is no issue. 

Some can end up wrong and not even seeing the common basics. 

Some have higher insight and are at a loss to understand why others just could not think the way they do. 

Thus whatever the case, there will be problems and issues. 

All must open their eyes and appreciate what others believe and do. Only then can there be peace. 

There must be diversity and this should be viewed as assets to society. 

Why? It is pure common sense. Let there be no wishful thinking. Even with religion and matters of God, there must be many religions or sects so that these can meet the different needs and levels of thinking of the diverse strata and types of people in the world and even in the same religion.
