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.

To know or not to know


Learning Point No 68












Namo Ji Gong Posat


Sages of old like Ji Gong Posat often said this.

须要知道就会知道，不须要知道就不会知道。xu yao zhi dao jiu hui zhi dao, bu xu yao zhi dao jiu bu hui zhi dao. 

When the need to know arises, you will come to know. When there is no need to know, you will not come to know. There are things you need to know and there too are things better not for you to know and for these you will not know perhaps at least not for now.


Namo Bo Tien Posat

The representatives of Lord Bo Tien had time and again reminded followers not to analyse the characters of lead elders  even if they could not stomach the contradictions in the lives of these elders. It is best that followers just see saint as saint and men as men. They should just focus on spiritual matters than on human matters. 
  

When the time is right and when followers are more spiritually enlightened, they will understand and not be perplexed. Otherwise, many would have their faith in divinity shaken by the contrasting attributes of such elders. The result may be a schism and the undermining of spiritual zest and fervour. This is a scenario not uncommon to many religious institutions.
