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!.

Renounce not life but ego drives

No 1729 of Living Life Series 1 




Be pure, humble, honest and simple if you want to be at peace and happy at all times. 

You do not have to be poor to do this. 

You do not have to give up job or wealth or family as well. 

All you need is to give up the ego drives, the need to be better and lord over others. 

You must not take advantage of those below, above and at same level as you. 

You need only to renounce ego drives and not your family, job, friends and colleagues. 

You must be simple, pure and humble. Avoid evil, do good and be pure. Associate with the wise when you can but do not despise the unwise. This is simple isn't it? 

This is what Bo Tien 武天 tries to share with us so that we can be better in whatever religion or culture we are in. 

Renounce not life but ego drives. 

You do not need to give up society, family and job and run to the forest or desert. 

You can still be with life and be spiritually attuned. Be pure, humble and simple. 

Be good and be honest at being good at heart and not put up false front of goodness. Never be a wolf in sheep's clothing.
