This was how and will likely continue to be how religion will survive in this world. But this will alienate many who want to think and who also want to disagree.
Some are even able to show that they are right. Others do not understand and have doubts.
Doubts arise because they do not fully understand. Bo Tien 武天 said this to those in a temple and he added that once they understand they become even more closer to those in a temple.
But there will always be differences in opinions and agenda of those who come to a temple or religion. Having different groups within a temple or different temples or sects within a religion is not at all wrong.
It would be unthinkable for all to think and do in one way. Try as religion might and even in the name of dogmas which must be accepted and not questioned, there will be people with various thoughts and ways. No one is correct or not correct.
Bo Tien 武天 says that what is correct is to accept that no one is saint as yet and even saint will allow people to be different and will want people to work together and yet be different.
No one group should exclude other groups and if this is accepted, there will be many in religion or in a temple. Isn't this the purpose of religion or of a temple - to bring more to be near to God or saint?
We need to accept that yin and yang is here to stay. There is need for people with differences to live together and work as one, be it in religion, in a temple or in society.
This is the yin yang perspective all should have and the balance of yin and yang augurs well for all. This Bo Tien 武天 did say.
Let there be many nations, races, religions and sects within a religion in the world. Let us rejoice and feel the joy of the festivities of all religions and of all nations.
This is the joy and peace that arise from acceptance of differences. The yin and yang must coexist and then there will be harmony and peace. People though different can still live as one.
They also complement one another in their strengths and add value to a temple, religion, nation and the world. This Bo Tien 武天 too wants all to know. This is a truth and truth is simple and yet not easy to perceive. Simple as it may be, many are blind to it and even if they are not blind to it, many have difficulty in effecting it, all because of "I thought."
The "I thought" is less in heaven and more in man on Earth. Those in heavens can live as one, though they may be different, of different religions and even of different emphasis even in the same religion, as well as of different sections of a heaven.
Surely men too can aspire to be more like them and have less "I thoughts." By so doing, they can create heaven instead of hell on Earth even before the afterlife.
All that is needed is to try to live as one and be assets to one another though different all may be. All who are different can complement one another. That is the spirit. Why impose our ways and thinking on others?
Accept others for what they are and learn from the lives of others so as to be better than whatever finite good all already are.
One day even those in heavens can rise above the differences and be one - omnipresent like God in nature, in life and even in heaven and hell to be blessings to all even those in hell.
Let us aspire to be everywhere and not just in heavens. The way to end up omnipresent is to start here and now. Let us live as one though different.
People though different can still live as one. Surely this is a simple step to take and anyone can do so - even a child. Truth is simple but difficult to perceive. We need just this little insight to see this truth in life.
