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 each his own

Learning Point No 130







"To each his own" is at times better not to forget. This short-sightedness is perhaps the very reason why many judge that others have erred when in fact at times, these others are actually not wrong but  may be "right" in their own  specific ways. They are right at their level and preference of spiritual approach.

Everyone must find his unique comfort zone in worship of Divinity. There is no fixed approach and no one size fits all or one size fits you a lifetime. There is no quick fix. There is no magic potion.

What is proper and suitable depends on the individual and his station in life and the yardstick changes with time. What are of value at point in time may no longer be of value subsequently. This is especially true for spiritual practices. What are of value for higher spiritual will not work for the many who have not taken more than the initial steps.

To each his own and very station in life requires specific spiritual applications. This is true but some may disagree and their bigoted thinking may make them think their way is the only way or approach and others must listen to them.

Try asking an infant to skip milk and take meat. Meat may be good for adults but fatal for infants. Try asking adults to live on milk. This will not be correct either....

"To each his own." 'Each' refers to not only the specific person or group but the changing context of a group or person's life.
