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 must welcome all

Learning Point No 67


The Four Pillar Doctrine otherwise referred
to as the Inner Truth Doctrine is directed
at ensuring wholesome harmonious non-partisan
multi factional approach to Divinity



There must always be open door policy in any public place of worship more so for believers. A temple should not adopt a partisan or factional approach but should instead have the more wholesome harmonious non- partisan and multi-factional approach, allowing for factions of different perspectives to stand together and yet differ. This is just like a bunching of candles of differing sizes, hues and shapes. Together they will add variety, be more appealing and light up the way for many others. This Lord Bo Tien stressed in 1975.


God too adopt such divine holistic wholesome approach, and that is why there are many perspectives to Divinity in the form of many religions and sects. There need to be open mindedness, spirit of tolerance for diversity, otherwise religion would not only be monotonous but also be divisive instead of rallying and unifying men to be with God
