Extract from Lord Bo Tien's 1984 Anniversary
Message :-
He then pointed out to the Taoist Octagon or Pakua, which showed two fish-like symbols, the yin and the yang. Both must exist and if there was only one, then there will be no balance and peace. Man must seek the inner peace through balance of yin and yang. A temple or organisation must find balance in the yin and yang elements of people that constitute the temple. Only then will there be peace and harmony.

This adds further significance to
the advice given that insects will be attracted to the flower and the flower should not be blamed for insects coming to it for nectar. Without
insects in men, there would be no need for a temple and its mission. A temple or
spiritual organisation needs to attract both yin and yang and this is the
case with all nature.
