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!.

Truth behind first full moon of lunar new year

No 1757 of Living Life Series 1
The first moon of the new year heralds in the new year. It grows from sickle to full moon. This represents the aspiration of men to grow and to progress. This represents hope. 

 But there is always the imperfection of life. Change is inevitable. This is the true nature of life. This is the truth in life. Culture or tradition blows up the dream of men. 

 But we cannot live in dream. The dream bubble will grow but will burst. 

 Bo Tien 武天 says that all religions and cultures teach this reality. But men often cannot face this. 

 Religion will never draw in the crowd if it harps on the harsh nature of life. 

 Many do not want to be reminded and even sages of religion are portrayed as guarantees of dreams. Truth hurts but dreams are pleasing. 

 How do we be at peace with truth in life? Well, we need to have inner peace come what may be it the yin or yang. This is how we can have balance in life and have the peace at heart regardless of the swirls that abound. Bo Tien 武天 says this is the Inner Truth in any culture or religion.
