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 world not possible in the world out there

No 1548 of Living Life Series 1



A temple or a sect of a religion may be manipulated by a group of persons who take over or set up a temple or sect. 

They may know less or have no worthy spiritual motive but want to impose what they want of the world on others. 

Bo Tien 武天 says that they are like ants or insects attracted to the flower for nectar. What they could not get in the world outside a temple or a sect of a religion, they can do so by taking over a temple or setting up a new sect of a religion. 

They are able to bring in the crowds but this can cause divides and have repercussions. 

Bo Tien 武天 says that a temple is the people and if there is no truth and divine purity in people, the temple is just not a temple and the sect not just a sect of a religion but a mere extension of the world they want to have in the world but could not have. 

They can have a world not possible in the world out there. This is not ideal but can still spin off some goodness and charity though there are not ideal for ultimate spirituality. But the wise may say that ultimate spirituality is really up to the individual. Don't you agree?
