The Living Life Series is dedicated to Lord (武天) Bo Tien. 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 affliliation 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. 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.

Consensus and cooperation

Learning Point No 42  


Quote from Revisit of 1975 message of Lord Bo Tien

For the full article go to  Consensus and cooperation



Lord Bo Tien










Lord Bo Tien in 1975, "Every devotee and being here assembled and including those not here tonight but elsewhere is a candle flame to nurture the divine light in them. Some flames may be near to Heaven and heavenly saints. Some are more distant or remote. Candle flames may be different - some smaller while others are bigger and brighter. Nonetheless, bear in mind that the total collection and amassing of candle flames emits brightness to effectively light the way for the those in shades of darkness, more so for the less endowed and not so fortunate."



Elder Ling Diung Kwong reminds
that the lord saint Lord Bo Tien
is all for cooperation and consensus
even if people like candles are different
and hold differing viewpoints.
The amassing of candle flames emits
brightness to effectively light the way
for the those in shades of darkness,
more so for the less endowed and not so fortunate.
Cooperation and consensus
will bring together the various people, temples and groups
motivated by the teachings Lord Bo Tien touched on
even if they adhere to different levels of practice
and even if they hold on to their respective saints and prophets.
Consensus and cooperation will be good
even for those who do not see eye to eye.
That will be good for the mission
of the lord saint to awaken more to the inner truth
But few are on top of situations
and mission needs only one or two
or at most a handful to move on and make headway
while many get stuck in less wholesome issues.
There will be more realisation of life
if men can see the contrasts amongst men.
Learn from the lives of fellow men
the correct way so all will progress and make good.
Learn too from the mission history
for the good of the many
and for the benefit of the future generations.
But do not end up washing dirty linen in public,
for that is not and never should be.
Should the unthinkable happen, as it might,
then mine mine what can the matter be?
What have gone astray? 
Shouldn't there be some semblance
of consensus and cooperation
amongst men inspired by their saint?
Those in the know should know best
what they should and should not do
and that the name of the good lord
will be untainted
for He is like the great ocean...
and like it or not, He had foretold
what could be that should not be
in any temple, church or group in this world.
