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!.

Morning after a turn-off like pill of same name

No 1531 of Living Life Series 1 
The morning after is a hard pill to swallow. We are not referring to the morning after pill for those who do not want conception after a one night stand or whatever. 

 But we are referring to the morning after a celebration of a temple or religion or culture. The feeling of being down after being up with celebratory mood is unmistakable. 

 That is why there are 15 days of Chinese New Year in Chinese culture and festivals before and soon after. This is to lift the mood for as long as can be and prevent a drastic drop, and to have more events to lift up the mood again. 

 But the man who is at peace does not need all these aids to lift the mood. Many who are not at peace need to be turned on and to have his ego fanned. 

 Bo Tien 武天 says that any man must have inner peace but while he has not gone far into inner peace, he needs religions and others to turn him on and fan the ego. 

 Lessen the ego through insight meditation, better still through moment to moment mindfulness and there will be more inner peace. 

 Happiness then is not in an institution and it is in life he lives. This is the message of Bo Tien 武天 for anyone in any religion and in any culture. A man can then be better than what he is and in the religion, culture or society he is in.
