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.

No human master please. We want to be with the saints

Learning Point No 146







It is alright to admire and learn from men better than us but never make the mistake of adoring another man as "sifu" or teacher or master, for he is no saint but just a good brother or elder. He is not perfect and there are better ways of showing gratitude than to hero-worship him.
 
We must free ourselves from confines that hamper and limit spiritual cultivation. Do not confine your learning and cultivation to one man or even to one temple or church.
 
Let God and his saints be your master and the world or universe be your temple or church. Then you can model after the saints and be seated beside them in Heaven even while still men.
 
God and saints embody the doctrine of truth. Man on the other hand  embodies the imperfection of life. Know men and you will know why men are far from God and fall short of the glory of God. Know the saints and you will know the truth they stand for and how men can be closer to God. 
 
No human master please. We want to be with the saints. This way there will be no risk of cult. We worship not man but God and saints. Let us be seated next to the saints.  Let us not prostrate before man like animals in a pack led by the one who is alpha.

Lord Bo Tien reminded us in the early formative years of His Mission. "Man is man and God is God. Know who is man and who is God / saint."

Lord Jesus said, "Give to man what is due to man and to God what is due to God."
