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.

The malady that may beset many a temple or church

Learning Point No 190



The common oversight of men of faith is in failing to see the one common truth in religions and sects. In their zeal and fervor they may go for what they think is right and say their way is and will be and others are not. This in fact often means they harp on and peddle sectarian social agenda and bias of men rather than go for the wholesome divine calling of God and saints. 

This malady is unfortunately also that of followers of Lord Bo Tien and can even defeat the purpose of His mission. The mission is to make men have insight of the common purpose of religions to serve God and his saints through whatever belief systems, religions or sects.

But the lord saint said that if one generation fails, many more successive generations of followers will be inducted till mission is done and achieved. 

Thus if any temple or church deviates towards social agenda instead of doing the will of God and thereby sideline the doctrine with narrow myopic human thinking, this is no fault of God but is due to the societal malaise that has been endemic in men.
