Learning Point No 237
In Lord Bo Tien's 1983 Anniversary Message, the emissary of Lord Bo Tien said,
"The temple of the lord saint like most temples and places
of worship must be viewed in the proper helicopter perspective."
"The teachings
deal with universal truth and if followed will make life fruitful."
"But be
mindful that a temple is not just a concrete building or a shelter."
"A temple is
the people. It is people who make up a temple."
"As this temple like many others
is a temple of Heaven, the sky is the roof of the temple. Thus the lord saint
honorific is Bo Tien
with the word Tien.
Tien is the sky or
heaven."
(PS Inner truth netizen adds. 'Bo' in Chinese is best
translated as executor of 'Tien' Heaven. It is He who executes the Mission
of Heaven. Do note that He is but one of the many executor saints, many of whom
are the saints of religions and sects. His role is to explain the inner truth
underlying all religions and sects and not to start a new sect or
religion.)
"Heaven is the roof for all beings. All men and beings are
sheltered, overseen and judged by Heaven. God and saints, not men, shall be the
final judge of men."
"A temple serves Heaven in its mission to save all souls under
Heaven."
"Mission is not for man to serve men but for men to serve Heaven in
mission to save souls. This must be understood as the core basis of Mission."
"The
Mission is the mission of Heaven and not the mission of man."
(Inner truth netizen adds. Worship Heaven and not man.
Heaven not man is worthy of worship but saints do come down to be amongst men.)
"If in a temple of the lord saint, the followers cannot
understand all these clearly and effectively (putting them into effect and practice), then
these doctrines and values should be returned to Heaven and be sent to many
other temples where others may be able to benefit."
If the past era of 13 years
teachings make no difference to the wisdom of the followers of that temple, then
they might as well be burnt to return them to Heaven."
