There are three baptism and three success phases in life of any temple, organisation or individual. For more, go to The Three Baptism and Three Success Phases
Extracts:
"...The three phases of development (baptism) namely fire, water and human are due to the yin
and yang world men live in. Yin refers to passive forces and yang to active
forces. Some say that in the fire phase, there is too much yang and in the yin
phase, too much yin. But this is an oversimplification. In the human or near
established phase, there is both yin and yang and interplay of the five
elements. Lack of balance or harmony means there is no peace and tranquillity."
"Likewise, for the individual, growth in early years is beset by fire and water obstacle phases. The young or infant child is faced with problems of biological development --- of infection and growth, the ancient refer to these as fire and water obstacles. But when he grows to be adult and enters society, he faces all the problems of being man --- the problems of yin and yang. Thus Lord Bo Tien said that the issues and problems of man are many and plentiful....."
"Following the three baptism phases, then there will be three success phases - the discipline or Bo Tien phase, the devotional or Kuanyin phase and the wisdom or Buddha phase. We need all three to succeed. We need to be disciplined and steadfast. We need to be devotional. We need to have wisdom and insight."
