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 way to immortality

Quotes No 23

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




Lord Bo Tien wants us to know
that the way to immortality
as he wants us to know 
does not require that we leave life
Rather, we be with life
with no need to be monk
or be celibate or recluse
We live life in spiritual ways
which work well both ways
spiritual and otherwise.
Only a few need to be recluse
or take up the robes of monkhood.
Read on to find out how



Lord Bo Tien reminds us to be good followers of our various religions. He hopes that we are not rigid in our beliefs, otherwise we will end up like the blind men and the elephant. He wants us to perceive the real essence behind religions. We must understand the world within ourselves, within our own individual minds. The world in us comprises of various dynamic flux of positive and negative thoughts. The untrained mind is like a storm. There are both bad and good thoughts arising and passing in every second of our life. These may be conscious or sub-conscious. We may not even be able to discern what is good and bad. We are just tossed about by the storm of our thoughts.

Lord Bo Tien wants us to calm our thoughts to cultivate the neutral detached part of our mind to reflect on the positive and negative thoughts. This will promote calmness and with calming of the storm of thoughts, mind energy will be focused and channelled usefully to foster inner calm and deep realisation of things as they really are. Eventually the thoughts will be pure with lesser and lesser of the positive and negative thoughts. The focused mind energy may manifest in psychic form but this is not the end we look for. The focused mind results in purity that brings us closer to the state of enlightenment.

We must mindfully apply the reflective analytical approach of neutrality to steer our mind amongst the good and bad thoughts. In so doing, we climb the spiritual ladder. With the same approach in our worldly life, we succeed in the materialistic world without being attached to worldly contingencies.
