No 1758 of Living Life Series 1
The objection to ancestor worship is no excuse for not being with elders and parents when they need you most.
Many are dependent on parents and elders when young and not able to stretch their wings and fly. But once they can take flight, they would not even have their parents and elders in their line of vision.
Is this not a lack of respect for parents and elders? They even find fault with the parents and elders and they insist that God (or heavenly saint) is what they must have in their line of vision.
They think that not doing so is going against God and will not get them any favor from God.
Isn't that discrediting God? Isn't that not in keeping with love?
They claim that they love others as per teaching of God. But they turn a blind eye on parents and elders. They end up all for God and love for others but not for parents and elders.
Thus Bo Tien 武天 stress the need for respect for elders and parents as one of the universal precepts regardless of religion or culture.
