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!.

Fire walking to show we will still feel the heat from the wrong we did

No 1705 of Living Life Series 1 




When we ask for forgiveness from God or a heavenly saint like Bo Tien 武天, it is not that we have wronged God or the heavenly saint, but that we have not put into practice what God or the heavenly saint wants us to practice. 

We have disappointed God or heavenly saint. But it is us who are hurt or harmed, definitely not God or heavenly saint. 

We do penance like walking over hot charcoal. This is to show that any wrong we do, we are the ones who get hurt or burnt, not God or heavenly saint. 

It is not in God or a heavy saint to want to punish or hurt us. To the uninitiated in doctrine of what God or heavenly saint stands for, fire walking is to cleanse our transgressions. 

By our own are actions done. We must answer for that. 

Asking God or heavenly saint to forgive us is to bark up the wrong tree. 

We must know that we have wronged ourselves and others, and that we have caused pain. We must rectify and be good. 

But we still have to face the effects of whatever we went wrong. We must know that we can be burnt by the wrong we do. 

The walking over hot charcoal is to bring us awareness of wrong we did. Fire walking is to show we can be burnt by the wrong we did but if we are willing to change to be good, God and heavenly saint can help to mitigate the consequences. But we will still feel the heat of what wrong we commit.
