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.

Amen - so be it

Learning Point No 137





Whilst we may aspire for goals in life, how should we handle matters if we cannot attain them. Do we live in anguish or do we accept and try again? Perhaps we should be at peace while trying again but also be prepared to be at peace even if we no longer want to try or could not make it with repeat tries. We should also accept matters if even after getting what we want, we cannot have them for long or we are still dissapointed. We should tell ourselves thus. "So be it" and this in Hebrew is "Amen"
 
This is the same doctrine of the inner truth - the need to be at peace with the ups and downs of life and death. So do try to be better but do accept whatever the outcome. Not trying is to deny life and give up and is contrary to the spirit of life which is to live and to accept life, not reject life. 
 
Surely we must make do with what we can have and move on telling ourselves --- "so be it"
 
This means we must make life work and not work for life. Meditate on this and you will end up saying "so be it." Amen
