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 flower and the 2nd coming

Learning Point 222
Extract from Richness in life

 
 


A flower is a beauty to behold but not the different parts of flower on their own. Each part of the flower serves a purpose and contributes to the wholeness and beauty of the flower.

The creation of nature is however never perfect. For example however beautiful a flower is, it will wither. 

Religions like the parts of a flower and like the rest of nature and world of man will wane and wither. New flower and forms of religions will arise from time to time. New ways of worship, new sects, new meanings and even new prophets (e.g. second coming of a buddha or messiah) will come to the fore.

All these were as reminded to us by heavenly saints and Lord Bo Tien did so in 1983 anniversary message. Lord Bo Tien's 1983 Anniversary Message 
  
Incidentally, the second coming of a buddha or messiah must require the prophet concerned to reconcile the diversity and yet oneness of sects and faiths. Inner truth netizen 2 is of the impression that the mission of Lord Bo Tien has to do with paving the way for the second coming because in the modern world, with modern globalisation, a new prophet has to address global concerns and ramifications.
