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!.

No dream bubble but for joy from inner peace

No 1599 of Living Life Series 1 

What we are unhappy with this life, we hope God will make up for us. If still this is not complete, we hope we can have later or at latest in afterlife. 

This is good but can create a dream bubble which can fade away even in this life or burst in our face in the next life. 

It is not the fault of God or a historical figure but the result of the need by men to fantasize. Has fantasy become the in-thing in life? 

Is this an indication of the lack of resolve to face the reality in life? We cannot be undermined by life but we must be atop life. 

The image of Bo Tien 武天 depicts this need to be resolute and steadfast and to balance the ups and downs of life, the yin and yang at his feet. 
Bo Tien 武天 says that the image is not him but what he stands for. The image tells us the truth and truth is not only in the image of Bo Tien 武天 but also in the reality (actual image) of life we have. 

Religion does not promote dream bubble but teaches men how to handle and be at peace with life with guidance of God and saints in this very life. With peace at heart, life will be a joy even with less. There will always be joy from inner peace - joy even with less. 

In sunrise years, life as what we know from worldly sense can just be busted unexpectedly for some but for most, this happens only in sunset years. 

Religion is about life. Life in flesh is like a dream bubble. We should not hold on to the bubble but go for the joy that comes from inner peace that all religions talk about. The spirit must be more whole with time but the body cannot be whole with passing of time.
