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.

Animal pack characteristic also seen in men

Learning Point No 153







Man should not adore and adulate man at the pedestal of a temple or church. When a leader is in office and more so if charismatic, congregation may see only the bright side and not the dark side. There is always two sides to a person.  When he is gone, they may see the dark side and condemn him. Doesn't that tell us the nature of man? Doesn't this ring a bell?
 
But saints like Lord Bo Tien know fully well of this tendency of man. Man after all is man. Saints however  look at both sides and endeavour to nurture more goodness in men so that men can be more good.
 
Saints do not enforce but nurture the men within free will and self development. That is, men must learn from life and make good even have more good.
 
God and saints help those who help themselves.
 
Men must be wiser  and not be carried away by the fallacy of bowing to man at the pedestal and running him down when he is no longer around.
 
Running down an ex-leader is like that of wild dogs running down the ex-alpha leader in the pack after it was replaced by another. Won't this be sad that the animal pack characteristic also affects men? 
 
But there is hope as there are men who rise above pack mentality. Prophets of God and saints were and will in future still be men and they are great examples of how men can be good and God-like.
