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!.

Authority attracts risks that can be harmful

No 1724 of Living Life Series 1 




When in position of authority to affect the life of others, make sure that there is worthy responsibility. 

Whatever wrong done which can harm others will have far greater impact and reach than done when there is no position of authority. 

Even if there is only one wrong and many right, the right cannot cancel the wrong. 

Even God cannot cancel the wrong done just because there are more right. 

People leading religion who hold sway on many must be humble and not portray themselves as infallible. 

If they do so, they create a cult following and they will surely mislead. 

Instead, they must remind others that they too have long way to go and as fallible as everyone. 

They must try to be good, humble and pure. 

To this effect, they must admit to all that they can still be as wrong as, others. 

What they can do is to share what is good that they find in religion and show that being good is what all need to do. 

Let all go for doctrine in religion. The common doctrine of all religions is how to be good at heart. 

This Bo Tien 武天 says is the Inner Truth, and the truth is that all have a long way to go and all need to be humble, honest and pure. 

To say that one knows better and others should look up to him is to show that he is not humble and he is dishonest. 

In fact, he must be with others to be humble and his humility allows him to learn from the others to be able to be more good.
