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.

Mission is beyond welfare, help and care

Learning Point No 30
 
Quote from:  Like the lord saint, the mission too is like the great ocean to reach out to many a land and to many a man...


Mission is beyond the necessary welfare,
help and care for the problems
of living at the human level.
Mission is to save souls
so that they need not go
for rebirth again and again
in all realms and not just at the human level.
This requires the mission to be
in wisdom phase in addition
to the organisation or discipline phase
and the welfare or compassion phase
The three are concomitant





There is but one God and one truth behind all the diversity of existence in the yin and yang world. The truth is the need to save souls. This requires that beings with problems of living need to be helped through welfare schemes and encouraged to help one another via 'mutual help and care', but this should not be the end but only means to the end. The end is to save souls, our own, your own and others as well in all levels of existence, not just in human realms.


Thus the mission is not at the human level but for all. The mission must be undertaken and spearheaded by Heaven. The mission is the Mission of Heaven and a saint like Lord Bo Tien must be a great ocean to reach out to many a land, to many a man and to many a religion or sect so that they could see the inner truth that is the need to save souls and not just stop and be content with welfare and worldly matters.
