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.

The Ideals and The Doctrine

Quote No 24

From the booklet "A Review of Lord Bo Tien's Teachings"




Lord Bo Tien is never keen for us to worship Him. He has allowed us to have an image of Him, not alone but in a trinity with Lord Buddha and Goddess Kuanyin. This will remind us of the (1) ideal of enlightenment as represented by the Buddha, (2) the ideal of selfless sacrifice for others as represented by Goddess Kuanyin, and (3) the ideal of steadfast moral discipline and effort as represented by Lord Bo Tien.




His balanced pose with feet resting on two elemental beings represents His teaching of mental cultivation of mindfulness of the positive and negative in our mind. His magnificent pose represents the purity of the neutral reflective mind. His sceptre in right hand represents the Mission of Heaven. His other hand in prayer pose bades us to carry on steadfastly.



The doctrine is in the image
