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!.

Ring fencing not the way to more good

No 1703 of Living Life Series 1 


Ring fencing a community from others is sometimes resorted to. 

 This is good in a way so as to preserve the way of life, culture and religious practices. 

 But on the flip side, there should be no fence and a community must adopt and incorporate the best practices of other communities, cultures and religious practices. 

 Bo Tien 武天 says we must respect God and all heavenly saints and not be closed up and ring fenced. This is how we can learn how to be more good honest and pure at heart. 

 The underlying truth of goodness is one and same behind all communities, cultures and religions. 

 But sometimes, it is good to learn how others are getting about this. 

 Ring fencing means we stop finding out more. It can sometimes mean we are in world of our own, thinking that we are right and others wrong. That is self deception.
