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 truth behind religions

Learning Point 231







In the pre-1974 messages, Messages before 1974  Lord Bo Tien said, "From time to time in history, saints arose amongst men to lay down certain rules and regulations to help the masses lead better lives and to incline them towards GOD. "

"Over time, these rules become the tenets of an organised religion, but the idealistic spirit and motive, which prevailed during the founding saint's life time, changed gradually after his passing with arising of sects and differing sectarian styles."

"This is why often an organisation cannot bring out spiritual truth more effectively and closer to true nature of life unique to each individual in society... Religious organisations often may end up over time as archaeological departments trying to discover the past."

"Therefore, I shall not attempt to establish any new religion, cult or organisation. But I shall rekindle and re-invigorate the religious thought* of all people and instill a higher understanding of life in them."


Inner truth netizen adds that over the centuries, each successive generation in every religion added and interpreted what they believe should be known to the people.

In the process, what was basically plain and simple became complex though more appealing.

Believe it or not, the truth of God is actually simple and many are lost in the sea of knowledge often academic presented by religions and sects.

That is why there is the often renewed call for basic fundamentalism.  But in the push for fundamentals behind religions, men create more confusion and make the truth unreachable to the ordinary man. Truth is actually simple and plain. It is for all not just for the literate and the academic. Truth too may not be as sweet and may even be bitter.
 
The mission of Lord Bo Tien is to present this simple truth to people irrespective of their beliefs, religions and sects but alas men supposedly committed in carrying out his mission may create confusion, add on their perspectives, thinking they know better  and defeat the divine purpose of the lord saint, the messenger of God.
