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 more correct with life and with religion

No 1517 of Living Life Series 1 




Religion is never at logger heads with science. 

In fact what religion says about nature and the universe is consistent with the prevailing understanding of science. 

But taken in context of modern times, what was consistent with science centuries ago become inconsistent with the times. 

Creation is one potential subject and ends up contentious. 

This is due to the ego of men who put their ego and even their reputation and credibility into religion and insist that what they believe is the truth and cannot be wrong. 

Another misconstrued thinking follows with one's belief to be never wrong. 

God hero worship results in notion that God is the end all and start all. 

Then there should be no other entity for one to respect except God. 

Carrying this too far will result in disregard for the authority that be in the land and disregard for parents as the elders to behold. 

They think there should be no one to behold other than God. 

Is this what God want? 

Bo Tien 武天 says that there is learning from the life and from beliefs of others so that we can learn to be wiser and be better off from the learning. 

We can be better than what we are regardless of religion, culture or society we are in.
