In 1984 anniversary message, the emissary of Lord Bo said as parting advice, "The descent of the lord saint that night is similar to the flower. The pure and beautiful
flower is the creation of nature. Ants and insects are attracted to the flower and all should not
blame the flower for attracting ants and insects. A heavenly saint is like the
flower and the least expected amongst men will be attracted to the saint like
ants and insects
to the flower. This is not the wrong doing of the flower but nature's way of survival
and existence. That the least expected should be at the helm or in the following
of a temple is not the folly of a heavenly saint and Heaven but Heaven's way to
reach out to all more so the more lost in society. But the folly of men should
not be regarded as Heaven's folly." Lord Bo Tien's 1984 Anniversary
Message
.
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.
