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.

Cultivate the spiritual light

Learning Point No 43

Quote from Revisit of 1975 message of Lord Bo Tien




Lord Bo Tien urged all to cultivate
the spiritual light in them
through their respective religions.
The focus is on love for life,
our own life and that of others.
We need to value life
and the teachings of all religions and sects.
The love for life is one common thread for all.
Be like a saint and learn the Way,
save the world and save thousands
and that much more if you can
by nurturing love for one's life
and extending this to others as well
Only by love will there be peace
within self and let others too have this peace.
In a temple too there must be love,
otherwise no peace and brothers will rise up
in arms with one another
and formenting hatred instead
Let there be love for others
who hold views different from our own
as they too worship the same God and saints of God
though they may differ in faiths and in sects,
This ever should be the case with those under the same saint.
But they may clash even in the name of the lord
How odd and unbecoming can this be.





Thus was I present on Mission Day Message in 1975 when the emissary of Lord Bo Tien said, "The cultivation of spiritual light in life is like a candle flame. All beings must seek the profound truth behind life and nurture the divine light in them by cultivating loving kindness for life (not just primarily for their own life but for the life of others as well). Loving kindness is the source of divine hope and the very essence of God the Jade Emperor's will. It is the nature of the divine or holy spirit ('leng' in Hokkien). Loving kindness in all its purity is divine. Its magnificence is unsurpassed and ever glorious. Nurture ever mindfully and conscientiously this light of divine love in your inner core. This divine love for life is expounded by all religions and by all prophets, sages, saints and even contemporary world leaders in some form or other."

The lord's emissary said earlier, "Among the many present here are the followers of the various religions. They together with their other brethrens not present (at the temple) are keen to learn of the Doctrine of the lord saint (the Inner Truth behind life and faiths). Even the heavenly beings of the different spiritual schools and of the various planes or dimensions are also present to listen to the Doctrine."
