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.

Temple of man or saint?

Learning Point No 49






Lord Bo Tien



Thus I, inner truth netizen, have been told not once but many times in the past. Has it not been said by the lord saint that one day those in the various temples bearing His name will think that He does not exist and is the concoction of men?These are the people who are near to Him but do not know Him because they do not know and have no religious fervour for the doctrine. Those who know the doctrine know the saint. Those who do not, know not the saint even if the saint is beside them. When the sad state of affairs comes about, the temple of the lord will take back seat and be overshadowed by the temple of man with man making decisions and calling the shots. This scenario happens in all religions, sects and places of worship and the saint involved should not be blamed, just as a flower cannot be blamed when insects come to it for nectar. This is the problem with many conventional religious institutions run by the word of men instead of by the  word of saint. This is the reason why religions can often lose the touch and appeal of the pioneers. Thus there is the need for the mission and the conscious effort to correct this and bring out the original appeal - the inner truth with all the religious zest,  fire and fervour of the pioneers.
